The City That Could Crown the Premier League: Carragher's New Take
Manchester City edge past Liverpool at Anfield as Donnarumma shines.
\n

Key takeaways from Carragher

\n

Jamie Carragher, the Liverpool legend, used Manchester City's positive showing at Anfield to praise the Blues' goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma.

\n

City beat Liverpool 2-1 in the 25th round of the Premier League at Anfield, keeping Arsenal six points clear with 13 games left before the remainder of the season.

\n

Carragher credited Donnarumma's performance as crucial for City's title bid, noting that a team cannot win the Premier League without a goalkeeper of this calibre.

Donnarumma shines for City

\n

He highlighted that Donnarumma, who has European Cup and Euros pedigree, is the keeper City needed to lift their title chase.

\n

According to Carragher, City can win the Premier League with such a keeper; before buying him, he doubted their ability due to goalkeeping issues.

\n\n

Punchline 1: If City lift the trophy, the ball might finally stop moving on its own—conspiracy theories aside, City finally get the break they wanted.

\n

Punchline 2: And if Donnarumma keeps this up, even the goalposts will start asking for autographs.
