'The competition for the championship is actually over.'
This is the title of the article released by the BBC shortly after Liverpool beat Manchester City on the road.
Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0 in the 27th round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 23rd, thanks to consecutive goals by Mohamed Salah in the 14th minute of the first half and Sobosler in the 37th minute of the first half. The gap widened to 11 points as second-ranked Arsenal (53 points) lost 0-1 to West Ham. Salah scored one goal and one assist along with his 30th goal of the season.
90 seconds before the end of the match, Liverpool supporters sang the song `We will win the league' aloud.
The BBC said 'The fans were right. Liverpool will win the league, declaring 'This victory means the competition for this season's title is over.'
'Every game may not fit like math, and football is a strange and unpredictable game, but football is not such a strange and unpredictable game that Liverpool, whose only loss to Nottingham was last September in the league, lost 11 points with 11 games to go.' 'And seven of the 11 games are at home, Anfield. Now it's up to Arsenal, but the importance of Arsenal's game is getting lower and lower.
`Liverpool can handle some mistakes, even in a good situation, the slot manager will never want it, and even if Liverpool makes a mistake, Arsenal should win almost all games, but it is a scenario that is possible only when it exceeds the team's tendency to make mistakes under pressure.'
However, the slot director maintained a cautious stance, saying "It's not comfortable". "In other leagues, it can be very comfortable to lead, but not in these leagues." "Every game has its challenges. I saw Plymouth also challenge us in the FA Cup. Fans can sing what they want, but we know how hard we have to work on it.' "Someone told me I was sluggish after the draw with Aston Villa and I never thought so. So from now on, I will not talk about anything."
The BBC said "There have been cases of upset wins in the past, but there was little difference like Liverpool now. The only comparable case is when Manchester United led Arsenal by 11 points on March 2 in the 1997-1998 season, and Manchester United had already lost five games, far from being "invincible". Liverpool's only defeat against Nottingham is the only one." "Arsen Wenger's Arsenal, who were chasing Manchester United at the time, were very different from Mikel Arteta's Arsenal and were destined to be close to Manchester United in the competition for the championship."
Shortly after the whistle, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola also gave a warm congratulatory message to the slot manager and asked Liverpool players to shake hands one by one. It was an atmosphere of celebrating Liverpool's victory in advance.
All statistics and figures are also headed for Liverpool's championship. Liverpool scored the most goals with 64 goals, and is overwhelmingly top of almost all indicators with 452 shots and 173 shots on goal.
Former England international goalkeeper Joe Hart told BBC Sport there was `no turning back' on Arsenal's race for the title. `They can do what they want and win every game, but that's not enough,' he said, effectively predicting Liverpool's victory.
