Mané hitting the inside of the post & missing vs Sané hitting the inside of the post snd scoring is the difference between Liverpool being Invincible, 100 point Centurions, with a UCL/Prem double & a having a great season that won’t be remembered like it should.
Regardless of that this was one of the best premier league teams of all time. But people will dismiss it because they didn’t win the league
@@NoName-pl7zmsadly yes
@@NoName-pl7zm I'm a City fan but it's sad how this Liverpool side will be dismissed simply because they didn't win the league as much as City , that just goes to show how titles don't display the full picture.
The John Stones clearance
@@NoName-pl7zmI blame Steven gerrard for resting coutinho
This 18/19 match is definitely not talked about enough One of the greatest PL matches of all time
The match was so tough, that Man City had to defend in a low block towards the end. It was shocking & my 1st time seeing a Pep team have lower possession (49% if I remember correctly).
Man city played in low block vs Bayern twice last year in both legs but they bullied Bayern physically. Different team to the 18/19 to be honest
@@AkeruZikora we had 44% possesion against Bayern at Etihad last season
5:20 😊
i agree!!!
"The Game of Millimetres" Liverpool were only millimetres away from a historic double. An invincible title and a Champions League
We as premier league fans will never forget this PEP & Klopp era, they made our match day nights unforgettable.
I will never forget how Bernardo ran like a man possessed that night
True😂😂
He always turns up vs Liverpool
@@NoName-pl7zmhim and fucking foden!
I like how you used the music as an analogy for how these 2 teams approach their style of play.
One is Rock&Roll and the other is Classical Music. Both are beautiful
I agree. The Teams, The Coaches, The Stakes(For City) , The Atmosphere and the Tactical Masterclass from Both Managers. The Title Race and The Player to Player Match ups .It was an Instant Classic 🔥😎
Wow
That was the greatest season of PL to ever exist. City 99 points, Liverpool 98. City played played the best football in Country's history while Liverpool had the greatest trio in world football alongside MSN. Van Dijk and Allison were world-class. Sterling and Sane had the season of their life. Previous PL centurions vs CL winners. From a neutral PL fan perspective, it was unbelievable tactical masterclass from both teams but were quite scary how far ahead these two teams were in terms of quality than the rest 18. Hopefully this title race between Liverpool, City and Arsenal will be similar. Once Liverpool win Carabao, they won't lose a single game like in 23/24, City have a consistent pattern of winning, Arsenal play an attractive brand of football. All 3 teams are highly likely to hit 90+ points.
“once Liverpool win carabao” Oh this could age well
@@pysky4u I love how everyone still underestimates liverpool despite them giving their all to stay at the top of the table.
march 10th liverpool vs city at anfield will likely be the title decider
@@pysky4u you thought chelsea could beat Liverpool? This is football heritage
@@pysky4u Well they won it lmao. They won it with a bunch of U21s against the blue billion pound bottlejobs.
The transition into the sponsor was excellent. Kudos to you
One of the best football videos I watched recently. The analysis, the music, the storytelling... It's impossible to not enjoy quality content like this
Fernandinho this match is forever ingrained in my mind, he was absolutely unbelievable one of the best performances from a dm I’ve ever seen imo
The game was also a huge break for Guardiola. Over 4 games prior to this, he didn’t have a win vs Klopp, losing in both UCL legs, at Anfield last season and drawing again in the same season. It took fine margins and exceptional individual ability to beat Klopp.
... and 115 charges. Fine margins
@@Hopdeladee Yes. The Coutinho sale is how money is earned legitimately through genuine club revenue streams. You seem to be confused by what is legit revenue, even as you provide an example of it. Maybe that is a key issue here.
@@Hopdeladee If I remember correctly City sat back and watched Liverpool claim their 6th European title before they got to a final.
@@Hopdeladee Leaving for 10x his value is honest earnings. Left back on a free from a relegated Hull. Right back an academy graduate. Gini signed for a tiny fee compared to what we got out of him. Jimmy on a free. Shaquiri. Divok, just off the top of my head. It's all down to the manager, with some finishing touches that you would allow a top team to add to their squad, especially with our net spend. How can you look at that overall net spend and use the term 'monopoly money' - it's such a shame.
@@Hopdeladeeno one wants to talk about Hendo, wouldn't have won fuck all without him. Just a hater.
Klopp competing with a midfield of milder&henderson. While also having Lovern as cb is crazy
1) Henderson then was excellent. 2) Klopp chose to go with Milner over Fabinho, he wasn't short on anything. 3) Man City had Danilo as well. A player known to not be elite ant any aspect of the game. 4) Pep also had to play with a CB on the LB position, which as you've just seen, did limit the passing range demanded. It was a fair match with fairly balanced quality between the 2 sides. None can really complain.
I am a chelsea fan but this match is the highest quality match ever in premier league with Chelsea Manchester 2008 coming second.
Amazing video. Not just a report, but a story. It doesn't matter if anybody can name any number of better PL matches, because this video tells the STORY of how IT is the greatest match ever.
I saw this match Live and it was goosebumps for the entire 90 minutes!
This was genuinely one of my favorite prem matches of all time. I particularly remember how good Bernando silva was, especially in the press. ENDLESS running 👏🏼
Damnnn, this is why we love the game... It's more than just a sport it's ART🎉❤
This was amazingly narrated, and well edited. Thrilling and educating at the same time.
Fernandinho and Vincent Kompany are criminally underrated legends.
while true, Kompany should have been sent off here.
@@willdaugherty2842 debatable, lucky escape tho.
Intro was a work of art, classical vs metal
That game of football had it all, goals, plenty of chances, near misses, drama, rough challenges and an amazing atmosphere. Our home atmosphere is often ruined by tourists who go to the game not as fans but rather simple spectators especially in smaller games. But I remember this game the crowd was on it pretty much the whole 90. The only time there was a bit of a dump in the atmosphere was the first few minutes after Firmino's equalizer but then they got straight back onto it. What a game! The highest level of football I've ever seen in a Premier League game, hands down.
great breakdown of the tactics, 21 minutes just flew by without my knowing
Best video on this channel for me, great work. i really liked the tactical animations and how you used it to explain in detail please use this method for post matches i think it will help the channel in the long run.
Unbeliveable video for an unbeliveable game. You did justice to my favorite pl game oat as a city fan , that Sané goal hit like crack every time . Nice to have the highlights as well :)
Your word play is outstanding “No defense can keep this Liverpool front three quiet for 90 minutes” This match was the embodiment of “Battle of Titans” Pure tactical football
even though there were only 3 goals, this was the most incredible premier league match i’ve watched in my life. thank you for bringing me back to this
I went to this game on my birthday aswell. Thrilled that it was a classic.
We're birthday buddies!
MasterClass ad transition😂😂 oh nice video too.
The greatest rivalry in pl history they broke records every year trying on up each other thanks Klopp for making the pl better from a football fan we will miss you 🫡
The intro was very funny 😅😂
Liverpools goal is absolutely incredible
this is the best premier league game I have ever watched. Just amazing top quality all around.
The edit at the intro was gold haha. Best video yet!!
Classical vs Rock n Roll. Control vs Chaos. Pep vs Klopp 🤩
Bro , hv been watching ur videos for a long time, but this has got to be the best edited one so far. Fkn Sick dude!
Glad you liked it!!
Your ad transition was so clean that I didn’t even want to skip the ad.
You made a really inspiring video right here, a match to remember and your work is just amazing, thank you
What an intro bro !!🎉🎉 loved it very much ❤❤
This is FANTASTIC storytelling! Amazing how you convey the emotion of watching football through your analysis, your words, and also your choice of music, the editing... perfect video! Loved it! ❤
Brilliant video!! If you can do more like this but for bigger profile games please 🙏
Excellent video as always 😊
My favorite match of all time is AC Milan vs Liverpool UCL Final 2005. Im a United fan aswell. Beautiful game from start to finish. World class players vs Mentality & Work Rate
The transition to the ad 😂😂😂
Great video 👍👍 Would've really love it if you analysed the build up to that Liverpool goal. That build up deserved to be analysed.
Another cinematic beauty!!! 👏🏿
Great match and amazing video
Thankfully i watched this whole match. It was really really high quality match. ❤❤
Aguero was the best near post finisher League has ever seen. What a player he was
Nice content, please we want a video of Roberto De Zerbi and your tactical ideas, ❤
The match that made Liverpool lost the league by 1 point.
Gorgeous intro! Such well idea
Great video and I like the use of the music but it's so much louder than your voice dude
One of the best tactics videos I’ve ever watched, with the combination of the storytelling, perfect
This game and the result mirrors the way the battle between these two has played out over the years
Great Video🎉
best tactical channel on youtube.
It's a shame you didn't talk about or show the rest of the buildup of the Liverpool goal, because it was a beautiful piece of sustained possession. It's not often you see City cut through like that. This was definitely the highest quality match I've ever seen in this league, for sure. Incredibly evenly matched teams with world class players across the pitch, and the match was defined by the absolute smallest of margins.
In terms of pure quality this is the greatest game of all time
I knew it was coming
Only Utd fans would contest, not even contest just hate, the greatness of these two teams. It’s the highest level of football the league has ever seen. These two teams made losing 1 game the end of the world, these two teams made 90 points the benchmark. These two teams were as close to perfection as you can get.
It was an Amazing Game to watch!!!😮💨🔥
You just had to be there. What an era
City and Kompany were insanely lucky to not have to play that game 10v11. How is that not a red?
It is one of the clearest reds I have ever seen. The foul alone is a leg breaker and a clear red, if the brutal foul isn't enough, it is a red for dogso.
Just shows how dangerous the trio of Mane, Salah and Firmino is with so much versatility and freedom. You can't take you're eyes off either of them. Man City played brilliant tactically that game. The only time I will respect Pep as a Liverpool fan. 🤣
I actually think Liverpool 4 - 3 City in 2018 was the best match in history. City were seen as formidable and impossible to defeat that season. But the way Liverpool rattled them that game showed the world that Liverpool were on their way to dominate Europe.
Liverpool didn't dominate europe at all they were always underdogs only won 1 ucl against the biggest bottlers in history tottenham even chelsea won 2 more ucl more than them in two decades.
@@marwanhisham233 best team in ucl in 2019, best team in England 2020
@@deedstaar7520 u named two years they won a trophy where were they since 1990 only 2019 and 2020 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@marwanhisham2332005 not happen no?
@@tylerfoster79 why are u picking only the years where liverpool won someyhing ? Like the world only exists in only the years liverpool win i feel bad for u really 😂😂😂😂😂😂 btw they finished 5th in the league that year.
the beginning is so epic
I was on the edge of my seat watching this game 😭
❤❤you love this
the music are perfect
Lets not talk about how Kompany went flying in studs up and got none of the ball but also none of the red card lol
Greatest prem game ever was the 1996 Liverpool Newcastle game. Short memories.
I love tactical battles
Please do a video about AFCON tactics
Plz somebody tell me how i watch this full match???
I'll be honest I thought the 2-2 at the Etihad in 21/22 was better. But either way these two teams have been unbelievable!!!!
Oscar for best Screenplay, best Editor and best Documentary Short Film, incredible video. Congrats!
march 10th at anfield could be a similar type of match this season and once again decide the title
Dig that intro😂
This is like someone explaining a whole war!
What a video 🙌🙌
I think that the Liverpool vs City matches 2017-2022 were better than Man Utd vs Arsenal matches (1998-2004).
Very rarely does a game live up to the hype but this game delivered that it was an outstanding high quality chess game
looking back again, that Kompany challenge is a clear and obvious red card. Two footed, in air, studs up lungs directly at Salah’s legs with no ball contact. Unbelievable he got away with a yellow.
I was at this game, one of the best nights at the Etihad, really felt like we won the league that day
“With city 4 points behind an unbeaten Liverpool side, a win for Klopp would have all but secured Liverpools first title” Mate there are 18 games to go
This Sunday it will be the last dance between Pep and Klopp and the stakes in this game could not be higher this game could decide the title
Liverpool gagen press is a football wonder I want to ask if it's can work on barça pep ?
Not just the greatest match in Prem history for me overall those games between Man City vs Liverpool is the greatest I've ever seen in world football without any doubt
What game and season was this
it was an amazing game
Goosebumps when heard ynwa ❤
10 march.. last time to see klopp and pep again in epl.. YNWA❤
This was WAR
Pep vs klopp is like messi vs cr7 We all know who is miles better but the media and the hype brings the other into the conversation
Possession vs Pression
Well now you caaaaaaan 😂😂
Nice intro
Ref save city that day 💯
