Despite their erratic start to the new season, Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher thinks Jurgen Klopp’s team can still contend with Manchester City for the English Premier League (EPL) championship this year.

In 2021–2022, Liverpool gave defending champions Man City a run for their money, almost missing out on first place following a thrilling final day by only one point.

Liverpool is currently six points behind early leaders Arsenal and five points behind Pep Guardiola’s team after six games of the new campaign.

But according to Carragher, Liverpool is still in the running for the Premier League championship.

“They [Liverpool] can still challenge for the Premier League, no doubt. But in terms of turning a corner, it needs more than one game,” Carragher told the Daily Mail (via Football365).

“There have been five or six games where Liverpool have been nowhere near their best.”

He added, “[Against Ajax] there was a typical Jurgen Klopp Liverpool performance, but I think they will need more than one game. You need to see the next four or five games to see if Liverpool are back on track. But it was nice to see Liverpool back to their best.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
