Pep Guardiola’s team, champions of the league, had possession of the ball for a large part of the match, but the defense of Jürgen Klopp’s team managed to keep the big signing of the citizens, Norway’s striker Haaland. In the 21st minute, Alexander-Arnold put Liverpool ahead with a slightly deflected shot by Nathan Aké. Jürgen Klopp’s team punished City on the counter in the second half. Guardiola’s team, however, equalized 20 minutes from the end thanks to a mistake by goalkeeper Adrián, which Argentinian Julián Álvarez took advantage of, scoring a goal on his debut for City. But the joy of Guardiola’s team lasted just five minutes, since shortly afterwards the Portuguese Rúben Dias touched the ball with his hands and caused a penalty which Mohamed Salah did not miss. In stoppage time, the Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez, who was making his debut with the redshas made the definitive 3-1.
With this triumph, Klopp has already won the major seven European and English titles with Liverpool, the Premier League, the Cup, the League Cup, the Community Shield, the Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup .
