I’m sure a lot of football fans are happy with the result. Manchester City has dominated the league too long and it was already starting to seem the league was too easy for them, it was just time for them to be reminded that the Premier League is not a farmers league and you can get beaten even by the weakest of teams in the league. They were even lucky it was Arsenal, a top side that thrashed them and not Southampton lol.
Against Madrid, it would be a tougher task for Guardiola regardless and how he will manage to close up the loop holes in his defense when he faces one of the deadliest attackers in the world I really don’t know but we will see, I highly anticipate that game.
Some seasons have been really easy for City, but in recent years Arsenal and Liverpool have been chasing them down to the last few games and it's not easy for City. This time it's all going well for Liverpool, they've got a great winning streak and the Slot seems to suit them very well, and maybe they're lucky that there's something weird going on with City this season, it's like a different team with a different manager.
What we expected this season has actually happened, because the consecutive trophies won by Manchester City in the last few seasons are starting to get boring for us although it does not reduce the competitive level of the premier league, the slump of Manchester City this season is actually an opportunity for Arsenal to win the championship trophy after the last two seasons continue to be title contenders, But what we see is that they still continue to experience inconsistencies that make them lag long behind in the championship race
Previously I didn't think if Liverpool would be as tough like today because after all they did not recruit players last summer, besides that the coaching transition actually made me never favorite them to be champions, but indeed the quick adaptation and also the qualified strategy from slot, has brought Liverpool today to the strongest candidate for the champion of the season.
