In the Premier League, the head-to-head duel between leaders Manchester City and Liverpool FC continues. Both teams won on Saturday.
On the 35th matchday, the Citizens won 4-0 (1-0) at Leeds United, 1-0 (1-0) before the Reds won just two days after Jürgen Klopp’s contract was extended to 2026 at Newcastle United.
Man City leads the standings with 83 points, one point ahead of Liverpool. Both teams are about to enter the Champions League final next week. The Spaniard Rodri (13th) scored the opening goal for ManCity, who started with national player Ilkay Gündogan in the starting line-up. Dutchman Nathan Ake (54′) and Brazilian Gabriel Jesus (78′) and Fernandinho (90’+3′) made everything clear. Ex-Leipzig player Naby Keita scored the winning goal for the Klopp team (19th).
Norwich has been relegated
Leeds team manager Jesse Marsch (formerly RB Leipzig) offered Robin Koch in the starting eleven. The international was unlucky, however, colliding with Aymeric Laporte in the 16th minute. Both players had to be treated for five minutes, but were able to continue playing.
Norwich City is the first to be relegated after the 0: 2 (0: 1) at Aston Villa. With only 21 points, the canaries are bottom of the table.
Three days before the semi-final second leg in the Champions League against Villarreal, Klopp gave some regulars a break. Among others, Mohamed Salah and Thiago initially sat on the bench. Newcastle held up well throughout the game but were denied a goal. The Reds, on the other hand, remain undefeated in their 15th league game in a row.
