As the game continued, Liverpool's numerical advantage became more evident. Their confidence oozed through every pass, every movement, and every press. With a 70% dominance in possession, they dictated the tempo, suffocating Manchester City with their relentless intensity.
Every red shirt on the pitch moved in unison, as if guided by a single mind, their passes crisp, their attacks calculated. City, down to ten men after Bernardo Silva's dismissal, had no choice but to retreat into a defensive shell, hoping to strike on the counter.
But Liverpool were merciless.
Each time City dared to break forward, Liverpool snuffed out their attempts with impeccable anticipation. Fabinho and Henderson patrolled the midfield like sentinels, cutting off passing lanes and winning back possession almost instantly.
