Manchester City honoured Liverpool by giving them a guard of honour at the begin of the match as champions. But they did not honour them on the field of play.
City who were dethroned scored three goals in a space of 20 minutes in the first half, to welcome the new champions. They played with no regard for the newly crowned champions, eventually winning by 4-0.
If Manchester City had not lost to Chelsea by 2-1, Liverpool would not have been confirmed champion now.
City lost the league to Liverpool, but have also kept their heads high in the match. They are the first to beat the the new champion.
More so, City handed Liverpool their second heaviest defeat under Jurgen Klopp, and it all been at the Etihad Stadium. The first was in September 2017 (5-0), while the second July 2020 (4-0).
Prior to the match, everyone had probably expected a tough game, but it ended like a one-sided game.
Liverpool will now contend to win at least five of their remaining six games. This is to ensure they finish with 101 points and become the second after City to achieve such feat.
