The '''Liverpool F.C.–Manchester City F.C. rivalry''', also known as the '''M62 derby''', is a high-profile inter-city rivalry between English professional [[association football]] clubs [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] and [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]. Its nickname is named after the [[M62 motorway|M62 Motorway]] that connects [[Liverpool]] and [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] via [[Manchester]] and [[Leeds]].

The '''Liverpool F.C.–Manchester City F.C. rivalry''' is an inter-city rivalry between English professional [[association football|football]] clubs [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] and [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]. Liverpool play their home games at [[Anfield]], while Manchester City play their home games at the [[City of Manchester Stadium|Etihad Stadium]].


Though Liverpool and Manchester City were first involved in a title race in the [[1976–77 Football League First Division|1976–77 season]], their modern-day rivalry began in the mid-2010s, since which time the clubs have been in three close title races with each other and reached five [[UEFA Champions League]] finals, winning one each. Since the [[2017–18 in English football|2017–18 season]], at which time Liverpool were managed by [[Jürgen Klopp]] and Manchester City by [[Pep Guardiola]], the two clubs dominated English football, with one of the two winning every [[Premier League]] title, three out of seven [[FA Cup]]s and six out of seven [[EFL Cup]]s. During this period, the two clubs set six of the eight highest Premier League points totals since 1995, when the number of games for each team per season was reduced to 38. Players and managers from Liverpool and City have also dominated the individual awards in English football since 2017–18: each [[Premier League Player of the Season]] award, [[PFA Players' Player of the Year]] award and [[FWA Footballer of the Year]] award, and four out of five [[Premier League Young Player of the Season]] awards, went to players from the two clubs, and each [[Premier League Manager of the Season]] award went to either Guardiola or Klopp.<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 April 2022 |title=Is Man City vs. Liverpool a great rivalry, or just two great teams in their prime? |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/story/4647826/is-man-city-vs-liverpool-a-great-rivalryor-just-two-great-teams-in-their-prime |access-date=2022-05-21 |website=ESPN |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-04-08 |title=Liverpool v Manchester City 'greatest' rivalry in 'English football history' - Jamie Carragher |url=https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/premier-league/2021-2022/liverpool-v-manchester-city-greatest-rivalry-in-english-football-history-jamie-carragher_sto8876406/story.shtml |access-date=2022-04-30 |website=Eurosport UK |language=en}}</ref>

The cities of [[Liverpool]] and [[Manchester]] are located in the [[North West England|north west]] of England, {{convert|35|mi|km}} apart. Since the industrial revolution there has been a consistent theme of rivalry between the two cities based around economic and industrial competition. Manchester through to the 18th century was the far more populous city, and held a position of significance and notability as representative of the north. By the late 18th century, Liverpool had grown as a major sea port – critical to the growth and success of the northern cotton mills. Over the next century, Liverpool grew to supersede Manchester and throughout the late 19th and early 20th century was often described as the British Empire's [[Second city of the United Kingdom|second city]].<ref name="BBCScousevsManc">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6956608.stm|title=Scouse v Manc|last=Rohrer|first=Finlo|date=21 August 2007|work=[[BBC News]]|access-date=2019-10-16|publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation}}</ref> The links between the two cities were strengthened with the construction of the [[Bridgewater Canal]], the [[Mersey and Irwell Navigation]], and the world’s first inter-city railway, the [[Liverpool and Manchester Railway]], for the transport of raw materials inland.<ref>{{cite news |title=Manchester to Liverpool: the first inter-city railway |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/manchester/hi/people_and_places/history/newsid_8165000/8165208.stm |access-date=2019-10-16 |agency=BBC}}</ref>

The construction of the [[Manchester Ship Canal]], funded by Manchester merchants, was opposed by Liverpool politicians and bred resentment between the two cities. Tension between working class Liverpool dockers and labourers in Manchester was heightened after its completion in 1894, just three months prior to the first meeting between Liverpool and Newton Heath in a play-off match that would see Newton Heath relegated to the Second Division.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Mitten |first1=Andy |title=Mad for It |year=2008 |publisher=HarperSport |location=London |isbn=978-0-00-728080-3 |pages=6–7 }}</ref>

Liverpool and Manchester City were not traditional rivals, with Liverpool having had much more success historically. At the time of the [[Abu Dhabi United Group]] takeover of City in 2008, Liverpool [[Liverpool F.C.#Honours|had won]] five European Cups, a record eighteen domestic top-flight league titles, seven FA cups and a record seven Football League Cups; City, conversely [[Manchester City F.C.#Honours|had won]] zero European Cups, two domestic top-flight league titles, four FA Cups and two Football League Cups. By 2008, however, neither team were dominant domestically, with Liverpool having not won a top-flight league title since 1990, and City since 1968.

[[Manchester City F.C.]] was formed in 1880 by members of St. Mark's Church of England in [[Gorton|West Gorton]] of Manchester. It was formed by two church wardens after they looked to introduce new activities to men in the region, aiming to curb alcoholism and gang violence. The club was founded as St Mark's (West Gorton).


The modern rivalry began in the [[2013–14 Premier League]] season. The [[2012–13 Premier League|2012–13]] champions, [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], had a relatively poor season following the retirement of [[Alex Ferguson]], the most successful manager in English football history. Liverpool, under [[Brendan Rodgers]], and Manchester City, in their first season under [[Manuel Pellegrini]], engaged in a three-way title race with [[Jose Mourinho]]'s [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], with each team leading at various points in the season. At the end of the season, Liverpool were at the top of the table with two games to go, but a 3–3 draw away at [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]] — after leading 3–0 with 11 minutes to go — allowed City to take the lead, which they held to win the title.
[[Liverpool F.C.]] was formed in 1892 following a disagreement between the board of [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] and club president [[John Houlding]], who owned the club's ground, [[Anfield]]. The disagreement between the two parties over rent resulted in Everton moving to [[Goodison Park]] from Anfield, and Houlding founded Liverpool F.C. to play in the vacated stadium.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/history/timeline/1892-1917/liverpool-football-club-is-formed |title=Liverpool Football Club is formed |publisher=Liverpool F.C |accessdate=15 January 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100712112221/http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/history/timeline/1892-1917/liverpool-football-club-is-formed |archivedate=12 July 2010 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>


Neither Liverpool nor Manchester City made a serious challenge for the league title in the next three seasons, though during the [[2015–16 in English football|2015–16 season]] – Liverpool's first under manager [[Jürgen Klopp]] – the two met in the [[2016 Football League Cup final|final]] of the [[2015–16 Football League Cup|League Cup]]. After a 1–1 draw in normal time and no goals scored in extra time, City won the penalty shoot-out 3–1.
[[File:Liverpool 1892-1893.jpg|thumb|left|[[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]]'s team during its first season, 1892–93]]
Liverpool's first season was in the [[Football League Second Division|Second Division]] in 1893. The team went undefeated all season, winning the title and being put up for election to the [[Football League First Division|First Division]], which would see them play a one-off [[Football League test matches|test match]] against the bottom side of the First Division for their place. The team that Liverpool were to face was Newton Heath, whom they beat 2–0 to take their place in the first tier.<ref name="rsssf1894">{{cite web |url=http://www.rsssf.com/engpaul/FLA/1893-94.html |title=England 1893–94 |publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=2019-10-16}}</ref>


In the [[2017–18 in English football|2017–18 season]], Manchester City – now managed by [[Pep Guardiola]] – comfortably won the league title with a top-flight record of 100 point, as well as winning the [[2017–18 EFL Cup|League Cup]]. They met Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the [[2017–18 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], with Liverpool winning 5-1 on aggregate. Liverpool would go on to reach [[2018 UEFA Champions League final|the Champions League final]], losing to [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]].
When the teams played each other in the [[2014 International Champions Cup]] in the [[United States]], the rivalry took on another sporting angle in the host country due to the ownership of the two clubs; [[City Football Group]]'s partners in their [[Major League Soccer]] team [[New York City FC]] — [[Yankee Global Enterprises]] — own the [[New York Yankees]] [[Major League Baseball]] franchise, who have [[Yankees–Red Sox rivalry|a strong rivalry]] with the [[Boston Red Sox]] — a subsidiary of [[Fenway Sports Group]], the owners of Liverpool.

In the [[2018–19 in English football|2018–19 season]], the rivalry between the two clubs reached new heights, as both Liverpool and Manchester City were involved in a very close title race. City won the league title on the final day, finishing on 98 points to Liverpool's 97 – the third- and fourth- highest points totals in English top-flight history. City also won the [[2018–19 FA Cup]] and [[2018–19 EFL Cup|League Cup]] for an unprecedented 'domestic [[Treble (association football)|treble]]', while Liverpool won their English record-extending sixth European Cup with victory over [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] in the [[2019 UEFA Champions League final|final]].
Manchester City consecutively won the [[2017–18 Premier League|2017–18]] and [[2018–19 Premier League|2018–19]] seasons, the latter season in which Liverpool were challenging for the title and putting up an intensive battle against the winners. These seasons are considered the escalating point in the rivalry between the two clubs (though the rivalry had already begun in the early 2010s during Manchester City's dramatic rise to success), with both having been the mutual rival of [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] for decades. Prior to this, the [[2013–14 Premier League|2013–14]] season was the last one to have both Manchester City and Liverpool compete against each other at the top for the title, with the former having won it for the fourth time in their history.

In the [[2019–20 in English football|2019–20 season]], Manchester City defeated Liverpool on penalties in the [[2019 FA Community Shield]] and also won [[2019–20 EFL Cup|their third League Cup in a row]]. Liverpool, however, dominated the league season, and after City's defeat to Chelsea in June, Liverpool mathematically won their nineteenth league title (and first in the [[Premier League]] era), finishing on 99 points, the second-highest total in English top-flight history. City finished in second, 18 points behind.

In the [[2020–21 in English football|2020–21 season]], Liverpool had a less successful season, losing many key players to injury. Manchester City won the league title comfortably, along with [[2020–21 EFL Cup|their fourth League Cup in a row]]. They also reached their first [[2021 UEFA Champions League final|European Cup final]], losing to Chelsea.

In the [[2021–22 in English football|2021–22 season]], Liverpool and Manchester City were once more involved in a close title race. City again won the league title on the final day, finishing on 93 points to Liverpool's 92. Liverpool won the [[2021–22 EFL Cup|League Cup]] and the [[2021–22 FA Cup|FA Cup]], knocking City out in the semi-finals of the latter competition. They also reached the [[2022 UEFA Champions League final|final]] of the Champions League, losing again to Real Madrid.

In the [[2022–23 in English football|2022–23 season]], Liverpool beat Manchester City 3-1 in the [[2022 FA Community Shield]], but could not repeat the previous season's form in the league, ultimately finishing fifth. City enjoyed their most successful season to date, becoming just the second English side to win a [[Treble (association football)|'continental treble']] – the [[2022–23 Premier League|Premier League]], [[2022–23 FA Cup|FA Cup]] and [[2022–23 UEFA Champions League|their first Champions League]], which they won by defeating [[Inter Milan]] in the [[2023 UEFA Champions League final|final]]. They also knocked Liverpool out in the fourth round of the [[2022–23 EFL Cup|League Cup]], before being knocked out themselves in the quarter-finals.

In the [[2023–24 in English football|2023-24 season]], City won their record fourth consecutive league title after a close race with [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]. Jurgen Klopp announced in January that this would be his final season with Liverpool, who won their [[2024 EFL Cup final|record-extending tenth League Cup]].

Players and managers from Liverpool and City have dominated the individual awards in English football since 2018, with each [[Premier League Player of the Season]] award, [[FWA Footballer of the Year]] award, [[PFA Players' Player of the Year]] award and [[Premier League Young Player of the Season]] award going to players from the two clubs, and each [[Premier League Manager of the Season]] award going to either Guardiola or Klopp.

A large part of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City which has developed since the late 2010s has been that of the rivalry of their managers, [[Jürgen Klopp]] and [[Pep Guardiola]] respectively.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/04/10/jurgen-klopp-v-pep-guardiola-best-rivalry-ever-just-enjoy/ |title=Jurgen Klopp v Pep Guardiola is best rivalry ever - just enjoy it |work=[[Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]] |date=10 April 2022 |accessdate=16 July 2022 }}</ref>
Liverpool built their dominance on a dynasty known as the [[The Boot Room|Anfield Boot Room]]. The boot room itself was where strategy for future matches was planned, however, it became a breeding ground for future Liverpool managers following the arrival of [[Bill Shankly]] in 1959. The original members were Shankly himself, [[Bob Paisley]], [[Joe Fagan]] and [[Reuben Bennett]], although the likes of [[Kenny Dalglish]] joined later on.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/1418093.stm|title=The legacy of the boot room|website=BBC Sport}}</ref> Following Shankly's retirement in 1974, having secured eight trophies in 15 years, Bob Paisley stepped into the vacant manager's position and amassed 20 trophies in 9 seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.liverpoolfc.com/history/past-managers/bob-paisley|title=Bob Paisley|website=liverpoolfc.com|publisher=Liverpool FC|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304041303/http://www.liverpoolfc.com/history/past-managers/bob-paisley|archivedate=4 March 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Following his retirement, Joe Fagan took over and in the first of two seasons at the club, won a treble of trophies. Kenny Dalglish, while not an original member, was accepted into the group as the next in line for the role of manager, and he combined it with his playing duties to win Liverpool 10 trophies.

Though the majority of journalism on the rivalry of the two has been around their time in England, it was formed originally in Germany. With Guardiola managing [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] and Klopp leading [[Borussia Dortmund]] - collectively the two most successful German clubs, contesting a rivalry known as ''[[Der Klassiker]]'' - the two faced off eight times in under two years, including three cup finals.<ref name="h2h">{{cite web |url=https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/soccer/news/pep-guardiola-jurgen-klopp-record-history-trophies-head-to/rfp2e2dwmxhrimqsndfb5lrc |title=Pep Guardiola vs. Jurgen Klopp: Head to head record, history, trophies, and biggest matchups |work=sportingnews.com |date=16 April 2022 |accessdate=16 July 2022 }}</ref> They each won four of those eight matches, with Klopp taking two of the three trophies they contested.<ref name="h2h"/> Both men would move directly from Germany to England at the end of their contracts; Klopp joined Liverpool on 8 October 2015,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34469429 |title=Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp confirmed as manager on £15m Anfield deal |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=8 October 2015 |accessdate=16 July 2022 }}</ref> while on 1 February 2016 it was announced that Guardiola would join City for the 2016–17 season.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.premierleague.com/news/60169 |title=Man City announce Guardiola will be new head coach |work=[[Premier League]] |date=1 February 2016 |accessdate=16 July 2022 }}</ref>
Manchester City's longest serving manager was [[Wilf Wild]], who was in charge from 1932 to 1946, for a total length of 14 years 9 months. However, as Wild's tenure covered the entire length of the [[Second World War]], in which no competitive football was played, he is not the one with the most games served as manager. [[Les McDowall]], who was in charge from 1950 to 1963, a period of 13 years, managed the club for the most competitive games, a total of 592 games, a full 240 games more than Wild, who recorded the second most. The most successful Manchester City manager in terms of major trophies won, as of 1 March 2020, is [[Pep Guardiola]], who has won eight trophies in four years from 2016 to 2020.


[[Jürgen Klopp]] and [[Pep Guardiola]], the managers of Liverpool and Manchester City respectively, in the mid-2010s have developed a rivalry, having been the respective managers of ''[[Der Klassiker]]'' rivals [[Borussia Dortmund]] and [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in the [[Bundesliga]] previously.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/dec/30/pep-guardiola-learned-from-jurgen-klopp-praise-attacking|title=Pep Guardiola says he learned from Jürgen Klopp and praises attacking style|last=Wilson|first=Paul|date=2016-12-30|work=The Guardian|accessdate=16 October 2019|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> At the end of the 2018–19 season, Guardiola described his relationship with Klopp as a "beautiful rivalry"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/23/blog/post/3906921/will-guardiola-vs-klopp-be-the-next-great-premier-league-rivalry|title=Will Guardiola vs. Klopp be the next great Premier League rivalry?|date=2 August 2019|website=ESPN.com|accessdate=16 October 2019}}</ref> and called Klopp's Liverpool team "the strongest opponents I have faced in my career as a manager".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.givemesport.com/1506873-pep-guardiola-says-liverpool-are-the-strongest-opponents-hes-ever-faced-as-a-manager|title=Pep Guardiola says Liverpool are the strongest opponents he's ever faced|date=20 September 2019|website=GiveMeSport|accessdate=16 October 2019}}</ref> In September 2019, Klopp hailed Guardiola for being his 'greatest rival ever', after both the two were nominated for the [[The Best FIFA Football Coach|FIFA Men's Coach of the Year]] award in 2019, which Klopp won.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-boss-jurgen-klopp-hails-16987447|title=Klopp hails 'exceptional' Guardiola as his greatest ever rival|last=Gorst|first=Paul|date=26 September 2019|website=Liverpool Echo|accessdate=16 October 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://talksport.com/football/605724/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-manchester-city-pep-guardiola/|title=Ex-Man City star questions why Klopp was named Coach of the Year over Guardiola|date=24 September 2019|website=talkSPORT|accessdate=16 October 2019}}</ref>

Journalists and pundits have praised the quality of Liverpool and Manchester City's rivalry.

The Liverpool F.C.–Manchester City F.C. rivalry is an inter-city rivalry between English professional football clubs Liverpool and Manchester City. Liverpool play their home games at Anfield, while Manchester City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium.

Though Liverpool and Manchester City were first involved in a title race in the 1976–77 season, their modern-day rivalry began in the mid-2010s, since which time the clubs have been in three close title races with each other and reached five UEFA Champions League finals, winning one each. Since the 2017–18 season, at which time Liverpool were managed by Jürgen Klopp and Manchester City by Pep Guardiola, the two clubs dominated English football, with one of the two winning every Premier League title, three out of seven FA Cups and six out of seven EFL Cups. During this period, the two clubs set six of the eight highest Premier League points totals since 1995, when the number of games for each team per season was reduced to 38. Players and managers from Liverpool and City have also dominated the individual awards in English football since 2017–18: each Premier League Player of the Season award, PFA Players' Player of the Year award and FWA Footballer of the Year award, and four out of five Premier League Young Player of the Season awards, went to players from the two clubs, and each Premier League Manager of the Season award went to either Guardiola or Klopp.[1][2]

The quality of the rivalry has been praised, with pundit and former Liverpool and England player Jamie Carragher describing it in 2022 as "the best we've ever had in English football... We've never had the two best teams & managers in the world together fighting it out."[3] In 2022, the BBC noted that the two clubs "have produced a rivalry in recent years that has taken the standard of English football to another level."[4]

Inter-city rivalry

Locations of the cities, in England

The cities of Liverpool and Manchester are located in the north west of England, 35 miles (56 km) apart. Since the industrial revolution there has been a consistent theme of rivalry between the two cities based around economic and industrial competition. Manchester through to the 18th century was the far more populous city, and held a position of significance and notability as representative of the north. By the late 18th century, Liverpool had grown as a major sea port – critical to the growth and success of the northern cotton mills. Over the next century, Liverpool grew to supersede Manchester and throughout the late 19th and early 20th century was often described as the British Empire's second city.[5] The links between the two cities were strengthened with the construction of the Bridgewater Canal, the Mersey and Irwell Navigation, and the world's first inter-city railway, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, for the transport of raw materials inland.[6]

The construction of the Manchester Ship Canal, funded by Manchester merchants, was opposed by Liverpool politicians and bred resentment between the two cities. Tension between working class Liverpool dockers and labourers in Manchester was heightened after its completion in 1894, just three months prior to the first meeting between Liverpool and Newton Heath in a play-off match that would see Newton Heath relegated to the Second Division.[7]

Today, the crests of both the city of Manchester and Manchester City include stylised ships representing the Manchester Ship Canal and Manchester's trade roots. The ship is also included on the crest of many other Mancunian institutions such as Manchester City Council and rivals Manchester United.

Post-war shifts in economic ties, reliance on regional coal, and shifts in transatlantic trade patterns caused by the growth of Asian labour markets caused the gradual decline of British manufacturing. While the city of Liverpool suffered the loss of its primary source of income to southern port cities, Manchester maintained some of its manufacturing heritage. This reversal of fortunes happened against the backdrop of shifting political backgrounds and significant events in British culture and society in the second half of the 20th century.

Both cities were part of the county of Lancashire until March 1974, upon the enactment of the Local Government Act 1972. Since then, Liverpool and Manchester each respectively anchor the neighbouring metropolitan counties of Merseyside and Greater Manchester.

The two cities continue to be strong regional rivals, vying for influence of surrounding areas. Their continued importance to the UK economy has been reflected with the awarding of the 2002 Commonwealth Games to Manchester, while Liverpool was awarded the title of 2008 European Capital of Culture as part of its ongoing regeneration.

More recent projects by Peel Ports have sought to re-establish the economic links between the Port of Liverpool and Port of Manchester, including re-developing trade links via the Manchester Ship Canal.

Football rivalry

[edit]

Liverpool and Manchester City were not traditional rivals, with Liverpool having had much more success historically. At the time of the Abu Dhabi United Group takeover of City in 2008, Liverpool had won five European Cups, a record eighteen domestic top-flight league titles, seven FA cups and a record seven Football League Cups; City, conversely had won zero European Cups, two domestic top-flight league titles, four FA Cups and two Football League Cups. By 2008, however, neither team were dominant domestically, with Liverpool having not won a top-flight league title since 1990, and City since 1968.

The modern rivalry began in the 2013–14 Premier League season. The 2012–13 champions, Manchester United, had a relatively poor season following the retirement of Alex Ferguson, the most successful manager in English football history. Liverpool, under Brendan Rodgers, and Manchester City, in their first season under Manuel Pellegrini, engaged in a three-way title race with Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, with each team leading at various points in the season. At the end of the season, Liverpool were at the top of the table with two games to go, but a 3–3 draw away at Crystal Palace — after leading 3–0 with 11 minutes to go — allowed City to take the lead, which they held to win the title.

Neither Liverpool nor Manchester City made a serious challenge for the league title in the next three seasons, though during the 2015–16 season – Liverpool's first under manager Jürgen Klopp – the two met in the final of the League Cup. After a 1–1 draw in normal time and no goals scored in extra time, City won the penalty shoot-out 3–1.

In the 2017–18 season, Manchester City – now managed by Pep Guardiola – comfortably won the league title with a top-flight record of 100 point, as well as winning the League Cup. They met Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with Liverpool winning 5-1 on aggregate. Liverpool would go on to reach the Champions League final, losing to Real Madrid.

In the 2018–19 season, the rivalry between the two clubs reached new heights, as both Liverpool and Manchester City were involved in a very close title race. City won the league title on the final day, finishing on 98 points to Liverpool's 97 – the third- and fourth- highest points totals in English top-flight history. City also won the 2018–19 FA Cup and League Cup for an unprecedented 'domestic treble', while Liverpool won their English record-extending sixth European Cup with victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the final.

In the 2019–20 season, Manchester City defeated Liverpool on penalties in the 2019 FA Community Shield and also won their third League Cup in a row. Liverpool, however, dominated the league season, and after City's defeat to Chelsea in June, Liverpool mathematically won their nineteenth league title (and first in the Premier League era), finishing on 99 points, the second-highest total in English top-flight history. City finished in second, 18 points behind.

In the 2020–21 season, Liverpool had a less successful season, losing many key players to injury. Manchester City won the league title comfortably, along with their fourth League Cup in a row. They also reached their first European Cup final, losing to Chelsea.

In the 2021–22 season, Liverpool and Manchester City were once more involved in a close title race. City again won the league title on the final day, finishing on 93 points to Liverpool's 92. Liverpool won the League Cup and the FA Cup, knocking City out in the semi-finals of the latter competition. They also reached the final of the Champions League, losing again to Real Madrid.

In the 2022–23 season, Liverpool beat Manchester City 3-1 in the 2022 FA Community Shield, but could not repeat the previous season's form in the league, ultimately finishing fifth. City enjoyed their most successful season to date, becoming just the second English side to win a 'continental treble' – the Premier League, FA Cup and their first Champions League, which they won by defeating Inter Milan in the final. They also knocked Liverpool out in the fourth round of the League Cup, before being knocked out themselves in the quarter-finals.

In the 2023-24 season, City won their record fourth consecutive league title after a close race with Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp announced in January that this would be his final season with Liverpool, who won their record-extending tenth League Cup.

Players and managers from Liverpool and City have dominated the individual awards in English football since 2018, with each Premier League Player of the Season award, FWA Footballer of the Year award, PFA Players' Player of the Year award and Premier League Young Player of the Season award going to players from the two clubs, and each Premier League Manager of the Season award going to either Guardiola or Klopp.

Rivalry between managers

[edit]
Jürgen Klopp, 2019
Pep Guardiola, 2017
Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, rival managers since their days partaking in Der Klassiker. Klopp took charge at Anfield in 2015, while Guardiola became City boss the following year.

A large part of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City which has developed since the late 2010s has been that of the rivalry of their managers, Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola respectively.[8]

Though the majority of journalism on the rivalry of the two has been around their time in England, it was formed originally in Germany. With Guardiola managing Bayern Munich and Klopp leading Borussia Dortmund - collectively the two most successful German clubs, contesting a rivalry known as Der Klassiker - the two faced off eight times in under two years, including three cup finals.[9] They each won four of those eight matches, with Klopp taking two of the three trophies they contested.[9] Both men would move directly from Germany to England at the end of their contracts; Klopp joined Liverpool on 8 October 2015,[10] while on 1 February 2016 it was announced that Guardiola would join City for the 2016–17 season.[11]

[12] At the end of the 2018–19 season, Guardiola described his relationship with Klopp as a "beautiful rivalry"[13] and called Klopp's Liverpool team "the strongest opponents I have faced in my career as a manager".[14] In September 2019, Klopp hailed Guardiola for being his 'greatest rival ever', after both the two were nominated for the FIFA Men's Coach of the Year award in 2019, which Klopp won.[15][16]

Reaction

[edit]

Journalists and pundits have praised the quality of Liverpool and Manchester City's rivalry. Pundit and former Liverpool and England player Jamie Carragher describing it in 2022 as "the best we’ve ever had in English football... We’ve never had the two best teams & managers in the world together fighting it out."[3] Pundit and former England player Gary Neville described it as "an exceptional rivalry in the terms of excellence and consistency". In the same year, the BBC noted that the two clubs "have produced a rivalry in recent years that has taken the standard of English football to another level." In 2023, the Manchester Evening News noted the particularly "heated" and "hostile" nature of the rivalry, and that "the clashes between the two clubs were now becoming season defining".[17][4][18]

Current players for the two clubs have also commented on the rivalry with each other. In 2023, Manchester City player Rodri said that "The rivalry is always there, no matter what the situation is of each team. It has always been a big rivalry in the last few years".[19]

A survey conducted in 2019 found that a large number of City fans consider Liverpool, not Manchester United, to be their club's biggest rivals.[20] However, a survey conducted in 2023 found that Liverpool fans consider Manchester City to be their third biggest rivals, behind Manchester United and Chelsea, but ahead of Everton.[21]

A 19-year-old man, Kian Holt, was charged with tragedy chanting following a Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield on 1 December 2024. Eight other men were also arrested on similar charges but released on bail. The chants referenced the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, which claimed 97 Liverpool fans’ lives. Liverpool won the match 2-0, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League.[22]
