Speaking on The Overlap, Gary Neville has been speaking about the final day of the Premier League season and his text to Jamie Carragher about the title race between Manchester City and Liverpool.
The Premier League’s final day was one of the most dramatic days of football you’re likely to ever seen, and the title race between Jurgen Klopp’s side and Pep Guardiola’s men was at the centre of all of it.
Manchester City and Liverpool were separated by just one point heading into the final day, and with City 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go, it looked like Liverpool were title-bound.
Everyone thought City were down and out, even Neville, with the pundit texting Jamie Carragher at 2-0 stating that City had no chance of coming back.
What’s been said?
Neville spoke about his text to Carragher.
“It’s a really bad position to be in at the moment, but at 2-0 down, I text you (Carragher), and I said ‘honestly, they’re done here, they’re finished’. When they went 2-0 up I thought they were finished. Pep was slumped on the bench, the crowd, they were crying. But when that first goal went in it was like an explosion, and you knew it would be three,” Neville said.
Champion’s mentality
That’s what champions are made of.
When everyone else doubts you, having the ability to dig deeper than anyone thought was possible and beat the odds is how you become a winner.
City showed guts, determination and talent on Sunday, and while everyone wrote them off, it took just five minutes for the Manchester club to turn the whole situation on its head.
Liverpool fans were left astounded, and to be honest, so were we.
City pulled off the impossible, and they deserve so much credit for that fightback.
