After last season’s close battle between Manchester City and Liverpool, expect the African stars to play vital roles for their sides again this term
While neither Manchester City nor Liverpool won the title they truly wanted last term, their respective campaigns each ended on a high note - even though both endured their fair share of heartbreak.
City won an unprecedented domestic treble, while the Reds recorded their sixth European Cup triumph; and a first continental success since their Istanbul miracle in 2005. The Merseyside club’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the Wanda Metropolitano in June also represented Jurgen Klopp’s first trophy since taking charge at Liverpool in October 2015.
