Manchester City remains very much alive in the race for the English title. This Saturday, Pep Guardiola's team defeated Liverpool at Anfield, 2-1, nullifying a stunning goal from Szoboszlai in a second half that was not going well for the visitors. Bernardo Silva paved the way for the comeback with a goal in the 84th minute, and after the final whistle, the Citizens' coach once again praised the Portuguese international. 'Liverpool had the upper hand [in the second half] and Szoboszlai's free kick… What a shot. What a player. In the end, what belief from our captain. That character, that personality, the never-give-up attitude… We managed to turn it around,' the Catalan remarked. Guardiola noted that City 'played well in the first half,' but acknowledged that they lacked some volume in creating goal-scoring opportunities. Regarding the second half, he took a pedagogical approach: 'It has happened many times. We are not consistent for 90 minutes, but we fight to improve. We have been in this position many times because we may not be completely ready yet. Maybe in a month we will be ready.' Anticipating 'a bright future' for the young squad he leads, Pep emphasized the desire to compete for the Premier League title until the very end. 'We have many good things to fight for. We are six points behind. Yes, it is a large margin, but a lot can happen,' the coach concluded.
