Premier LeagueQuadruple dream over for Liverpool despite win after late drama at City7 HOURS AGO «Congratulations to Man City and Pep Guardiola. Thank you to Aston Villa and Wolverhampton for making a proper game of it,» he began. «It’s not the result we wanted.

It was a bit of a rollercoaster. I don’t know the results exactly but I know they were 1-0 up – were they 2-0 up as well? Of course at the moment there’s disappointment here as well. »If it’s 5-0 to City after 10 minutes it’s just a normal game for us.

It wasn’t our best game either, but it’s all good. 92 points is absolutely incredible. We wanted it all, but now it’s OK.

"[Finishing second] is the story of my life. I’m still record holder for not getting promoted in Germany with the highest points tally. You need to get more points than any other teams, but we didn’t do that.

«You can’t do more than give your absolute best and that’s what the boys did again. We chased the best team in the world to the wire, that’s absolutely special. We’ll build a team again and go again.» Man City stage thunderous comeback against Villa to deny Liverpool and win title Quadruple dream over for Liverpool despite win after late drama at City Thiago Alcântara produced a mesmeric assist for Sadio Mane to level the match
