Club comparison
Liverpool or Manchester City: which is better?
City collected more league titles in the Guardiola years. Liverpool 2018/19 still feels like the side that could hurt them most.
The call
City as a serial winner; Liverpool as the rival peak
Manchester City 2022/23 is the stronger all-round club season: a treble, a deeper squad and a midfield that could control or accelerate.
Liverpool’s 2018/19 team is the counter-case — a Champions League won by a press that turned the pitch into a trap. The club argument is City’s recent haul; the matchup argument is still live.
