Manchester City beat Liverpool to Premier League title: All the best moments from a dramatic final day

Manchester City held their nerve to win one of the most thrilling title races in Premier League history.

Pep Guardiola’s men wrapped up the league by a single point with a 4-1 victory at Brighton to crush Liverpool’s hopes of a first top-flight triumph since 1990.

11

11

But the scoreline doesn’t tell the entire story – and at one point the title was heading to Merseyside.

Fresh from witnessing the miraculous 4-0 victory over Barcelona, Anfield believed anything was possible, and Liverpool struck first when Sadio Mane turned in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross in the 17th minute.

11

Reds supporters dared to dream when news quickly filtered through of a shock goal at Brighton – Glenn Murray put the Seagulls in front from a corner.

11

But their joy was short-lived as Sergio Aguero provided more final-day heroics, equalising for the visitors instantaneously after clever work from David Silva.

11

Nonetheless, with Liverpool ahead, only a victory would see City lift the Premier League trophy – and they found a second ten minutes later through Aymeric Laporte’s header.

11

From that moment on, Liverpool’s hopes were dashed and City never looked back.

11

11

Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan put the shine on a dominant second-half display, while Mane struck again to ensure Liverpool finish second on a staggering, record-breaking 97 points.

11

And so the celebrations began.

While City lavished in the south-coast sunshine, Liverpool were left to reflect on an incredible Premier League campaign which reaped no reward.

Arsenal transfer news: Gunners reportedly preparing move for Exequiel Palacios as Real Madrid pull plug on approach

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a move for River Plate midfielder Exequiel Palacios after his proposed transfer to Real Madrid collapsed last summer.

Palacios, 20, is very highly rated and has been included in Argentina’s final 23-man squad for this summer’s Copa America in Brazil.

GETTY

1

And he’s expected to leave the Argentine giants after almost four years in the first team.

Palacios was being tracked by a number of European clubs including Real Madrid, who almost signed him for £20million last summer.

But an untimely injury saw Los Blancos pull the plug on the deal.

However, Argentinian radio station Radio Continental claim that Arsenal have emerged as the new favourites to land Palacios and could make an offer of their own.

It is understood Palacios’ release clause in his River contract is at £18m and he would therefore be within the Gunners’ transfer budget even if they do not qualify for the Champions League.

Palacios’ agent, Renato Corsi, also confirmed to Radio Continental that the midfielder ‘is leaving in June’ and has ‘clubs in England and Germany asking about him’.

The youngster helped River Plate win the Copa Libertadores last year.

He has been capped twice by Argentina but could add to it at the Copa America this summer.

Football: Ryan Giggs hits back after Zlatan Ibrahimovic criticism of Man Utd 'Class of 92'

LONDON (AFP) - Ryan Giggs has responded to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's criticism of the "Class of 92" by insisting players with "over 2,000 games between us" are entitled to have an opinion about Manchester United.
Former United striker Ibrahimovic claimed in a newspaper interview that the ongoing loyalty of Giggs and other pundits such as Gary Neville and Paul Scholes to Alex Ferguson has fuelled criticism of Paul Pogba.
Ibrahimovic told the Daily Mirror that the criticism of Pogba dated back to his decision to walk away from Old Trafford and sign for Juventus in 2012 when Ferguson was still United manager.
"Only Nicky (Butt) is connected with the club now but when you play over 2,000 games between us, we are going to have an opinion," said Wales manager Giggs, who made a record 963 appearances for United between 1991 and 2014.
"Sometimes it's positive, sometimes negative, but it doesn't have an effect on results. We are supporters. That's what football is about, having different opinions.
"But he (Ibrahimovic) obviously knows more about the club than us."
Giggs, 45, and his former Class of 92 teammates Neville, Scholes, Butt, David Beckham and Phil Neville, played a combined total of 3,450 games during the most successful period in United's history.
Ibrahimovic played 53 games for United after being signed by Jose Mourinho in 2016, before joining LA Galaxy in March 2018.
Giggs, speaking at United's training base, where Wales were preparing for Wednesday's friendly against Trinidad and Tobago, was also asked about the possibility of Manchester City trumping the United side of which he was a member in 1999.
United won the treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup that year but City remain on course for an unprecedented quadruple.
Pep Guardiola's team have already won the League Cup and are still in the hunt for Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup glory.
City survived an FA Cup quarter-final scare at Swansea on Saturday to win 3-2 after being 2-0 down.
"I've got enough to worry about, please don't bring that up." Giggs said. "They're a fantastic team, aren't they?
"They've already got one and United going out of the FA Cup makes it a little bit easier for them.
"They've got a long way to go but just like us in the treble, you need a lot of things to go for you. That bit of luck, which they had at the weekend.
"But they are a brilliant team. It will be interesting to see what they can achieve."

Manchester United transfer news: Paul Pogba’s wage demands ‘could block’ potential Real Madrid switch

Real Madrid are reluctant to match Paul Pogba’s wage demands because it could upset other big earners like Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos, reports claim.

The Manchester United midfielder has been heavily linked with a summer move to the Bernabeu after recently admitting it would be a ‘dream’ to play for Madrid.

1

Zinedine Zidane is thought to be planning a total overhaul of his current squad when the season ends – and the French icon is an admirer of his compatriot Pogba.

However, according to Spanish publication AS, the club are cautious about matching Pogba’s current £280,000-a-week deal at Old Trafford.

That figure would make Pogba the highest-paid player at Madrid, the newspaper claims, and the club are worried that might cause friction in the dressing room.

AS says it would top Bale’s £250,000-a-week deal and captain Ramos’ £196,000-a-week packet.

It is understood Pogba would be unwilling to take a pay cut, which could see any potential move fall through.

However, the 26-year-old could see his current wages slashed by 25 per cent if Manchester United fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Pogba would be forced to accept the cut along with the rest of the squad due to an automatic clause in the players’ contracts.

The Frenchman and David de Gea are reportedly using the uncertainty around United’s top-four hopes to demand huge pay rises and offset the threat of a wage cut.

Kevin De Bruyne reveals he thought Raheem Sterling was a ‘d***head’ before joining Manchester City

Kevin De Bruyne has revealed he thought Raheem Sterling was a ‘d***head’ before eventually getting to know the England forward at Manchester City.

Sterling and De Bruyne both signed for the Etihad Stadium club in summer 2015, with the former’s move to City a drawn out saga involving a contract dispute and the player sitting out of training due to an alleged illness.

2

The 24-year-old, who has developed into a world class talent since joining City, was widely criticised throughout his final season at Anfield, with a number of former Liverpool players, as well as their then-manager Brendan Rodgers, slamming Sterling for disrespecting the club.

He was also a target of consistent criticism by the press, something which has followed Sterling even since leaving Liverpool. Only last December he posted a message on Instagram calling out the English media for their negative portrayal of black footballers, a day after Sterling was allegedly racially abused by Chelsea supporters at Stamford Bridge.

And this negative portrayal in English newspapers caused De Bruyne, who joined City a month after Sterling, to view the forward with suspicion.

De Bruyne quickly discovered that the Sterling he knew of from the media was nothing like Sterling in reality.

“I am a brutally honest person,” the Belgium international wrote for The Players’ Tribune. “So I will let you in on a little secret.

“Before I came to Manchester City, I didn’t really know what to make of this Raheem Sterling guy. I had never met him, and from what I’d read about him in the English press, I thought he was going to be a very different character.

“I thought…

“Well…

“I didn’t think he’d be a bad guy, really. But the tabloids were always claiming that he was arrogant. So I guess I thought he’d be… what do the English call it?

“A bit of a dickhead, maybe?

“Raheem and I have this strong connection, because we arrived at City around the same time, and there was a lot of negativity about us in the press. They said I was ‘the Chelsea reject’. They said Raheem was this flashy guy who left Liverpool for money. They said we were difficult characters.

“Of course, when you read this stuff about yourself, you think, ‘me? I’m not difficult. This is ridiculous. These people don’t even know me!’

“But honestly, when you read about other players, it influences the way you think. You can’t help it.

“Then I got to City and I actually met Raheem, and we’d talk a bit after training, and I thought, ‘wait, this guy seems really cool? What’s the story here?’.

2

“Truthfully, I don’t have many close friends – inside or outside of football. It takes me a really long time to open up to people. But over time, I got closer to Raheem, because our sons were born around the same time, so they would always play together.

“I really got to know Raheem, and I recognised what a smart and genuine person he is. He couldn’t be more different from what the tabloids were saying.

“This is the real truth: Raheem is one of the nicest, most humble guys I’ve met in football.”

Mike Ashley to sell Newcastle to Arab billionaire for 350 million: The Sun

LONDON (REUTERS) - Mike Ashley has agreed to sell Newcastle United to Abu Dhabi's billionaire Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan for £350 million (S$612 million), the Sun reported late on Sunday (May 26).
The contracts between Ashley and Sheikh Khaled have been signed and submitted to the Premier League, according to the report.
Ashley, who bought a controlling stake in the Premier League club in 2007, has in the past tried to sell the club.
Ashley, who owns British sportswear retailer Sports Direct International Plc said last October that he had not received any acceptable offers for Newcastle, a year after he officially put the club up for sale, but told Sky News in December that talks on a deal had made promising progress.
Any potential buyer of the club must be able to provide transfer funds, he had said at the time.
Sheikh Khaled, the cousin of Manchester City owner and Arab billionaire Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, previously failed in his bid to buy Liverpool Football Club for £2 billion last year, the Daily Mail has previously reported.
Sheikh Khaled is also the founder of Bin Zayed Group, a leading conglomerate with diverse business interests in the local and international markets.

 
Newcastle United, the Premier League and the Bin Zayed Group did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments.
