I don't want Arsenal to win Premier League because of their fans — Rio Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand cautions Arsenal fans against premature celebration as the team tops the Premier League. Despite praising Arsenal's performance, Ferdinand worries about fans getting ahead of themselves amidst tough competition from Liverpool and Manchester City.
Guardiola's Assertion and Community Reaction
During a post-match interview, Pep Guardiola confidently stated that Liverpool had not defeated his Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
However, keen-eyed fans and analysts quickly pointed out that Liverpool had, in fact, achieved wins at that venue in the past. This sparked a lively debate on social media and online forums.
Manchester City held Liverpool to a draw at Anfield, and following the game, the Spaniard in charge of the Citizens admitted to the difficulty of turning up to Anfield with the goal of getting a win.
However, he puffed out his chest, claiming Jurgen Klopp's side also faced difficulties whenever they came to the Etihad Stadium. He further buttressed his points by saying that he has managed to beat Klopp's Liverpool at Anfield, a heavy 4-1 win in 2021, but Jurgen Klopp has never managed to do the same.
While Pep was partly right, as Jurgen Klopp has never gotten the better of his Manchester City in a Premier League fixture at Etihad, he was factually incorrect to make the statement he made, as his team was beaten 2-1 in a Champions League fixture in Manchester.
Using the Twitter Community Note feature, fans made sure to point out the incorrectness of Pep's claim and how it required more specificity.
