DBasia.news – The fierce competition for the 2018-19 Premier League title makes Gary Neville, the legend of Manchester United (now an observer of English football), speak up. According to him, it would be better for Liverpool to sacrifice the Champions League to focus on the Premier League.
Liverpool will travel to the headquarters of Bayern Munich in the second leg of the last 16 of the 2018-2019 Champions League, at the Allianz Arena on Thursday (3/14). In the first leg, both teams played strong 0-0.
Although still have a chance to advance to the next round, Liverpool were asked to surrender from Bayern Munich. Because Liverpool has a greater chance to win the Premier League title. At present, Mohamed Salah and his friends are one point behind Manchester City.
“Getting points in the standings is a big advantage. I always thought Liverpool could win the Premier League this season. So they need a definite match schedule,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“I would say against Bayern Munich sporadically it sounds like madness,” commented Neville.
“Of course, you will never play to lose one match. However, it will be profitable for Liverpool if they have fewer matches. Because they will make all the players fit.”
“Manchester City have got several FA Cup matches, where Liverpool can get five or six points. It’s hard to step down in the closing week. The race is still 50-50,” Neville said.
In last season’s edition, Liverpool were able to step into the Champions League final. Unfortunately, the Reds were unable to stem the defending champion, Real Madrid.
