“We’ll be back in the Premier next year.” On Sunday, just minutes after seeing Manchester City deny Liverpool the title by one point, their manager, Jürgen Klopp, gave Pep Guardiola another challenge.
The exciting career that City and Liverpool have experienced in recent months in the Premier, but also in the FA Cup semifinals won by the ‘reds’ on April 16 at Wembley, will continue for another season.
Both teams have been disputing the hegemony of English football every year since 2018 and their next challenge is already dated. The two teams will open next season on July 31 with the Community Shield at stake, the match that traditionally takes place a week before the start of the Premier (August 7) between the Premier and FA Cup champions.
King Power Stadium in Leicester, the stage
This time, however, the stage was not Wembley, because on the same day the final of the Women’s European Championship was held there. For the first time in ten years the match will move from the grand stadium in London and take place at King Power Stadium in Leicester.
Leicester will surely be the final champion by beating City 1-0. Liverpool have won this trophy 15 times, but the latter started in 2006. The ‘citizens’ have done so 6 times, the closest being in 2019 definitely against Liverpool on penalties (1-1 and 4 -5) which until now was the only precedent between the two teams in the Community Shield.
