The past few seasons have seen some titanic battles being played out Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League, with both sides standing out from the rest and pushing the other right down to the wire.
From Leroy Sane’s winner in City’s 2-1 win over Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in 2018 to Phil Foden’s screamer in his boyhood club’s first win at Anfield in 18 years last season, the fixture has been arguably the finest the Premier League has had to offer in recent campaigns.
Sane, who joined Bayern Munich for a reported fee of around £55 million in 2020, spoke about the upcoming clash and how he will be right behind his former club to pull off a crucial victory over the Reds on Sunday.
“Fortunately I’m already playing with Bayern Munich on Saturday, so I can enjoy this game (Manchester City vs Liverpool) in front of the TV at home the day after,” the 26-year-old said in an interview for City’s Match of the Season feature ahead of the tie.
