Even though it’s burdened by 115 financial violations, with the entire soccer world against it and the club itself chasing a vindication that no one is betting on, Manchester City remains a machine… for destroying its opponents on the field.
In the first super derby against Liverpool in this year’s Premier League, the “Citizens” got the message to step on the gas, go all out, and crush the “Reds” once the numerical balance shifted.

Until then, in the first half, Iraola’s team tried to capitalize on the crowd’s momentum in the first 20 minutes, but City handled it well and had Donnarumma ready to tell everyone “no” whenever they tried to breach his goal.
Everything changed with Hrafenberg’s ejection after receiving a second yellow card in the 62nd minute. It was a total collapse for the home team and the start of City’s… rampage.
Haaland made it 1-0 in the 65th minute with a clinical left-footed finish; Doku struck with a “thunderbolt” from the edge of the box to make it 2-0 in the 68th minute and Serki, following a 1-2 exchange with Gvardiol and Frimpong’s… slip in the 78th minute, sealed City’s triumph at “Anfield.”
