Champions League: Liverpool vs Manchester City to headline UCL quarter-finals
Manchester City's dream of winning the Champions League this season, faces its biggest hurdle after the draws for the quarter-finals were announced. Pep Guardiola's men will be fretting over the thought that they have to face free-scoring Liverpool in the last 8 of Europe's elite tournament. The first leg will take place on April 5, while the second leg is scheduled for April 11.
Is there a fear in the hearts of City's players?
Manchester City have had a flawless season this year, scoring goals at will, destroying every opposition that came in their way. They have been in such a fine form that they currently hold a 16 point lead over 2nd-placed Manchester United in the English Premier League. However, their dream campaign has been dented by only one side, Liverpool.
Bring it on Pep, says Klopp's Liverpool
Manchester City's only defeat in the Premier League this season was in the hands of Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's men got the better of their English counterparts 4-3 at Anfield. But it's not just this defeat that is making Pep Guardiola sweat; the real reason is Pep's record against Liverpool manager's Jurgen.
Liverpool need not fear with Klopp in charge
Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly one of the greatest managers in world football. The master tactician has proved it time and again with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester City. There is hardly any manager in world football that has a good record against him. The only exception is Klopp who has won 5 out of his 12 meetings with Pep Guardiola.
