Trent sends a ‘diss’ to Manchester City before the big clash

Liverpool’s recent triumphs have been emphasised by Trent Alexander-Arnold, who says they are more valuable than Manchester City’s trophy collection. This opinion is representative of the football community as a whole, especially in light of the ongoing investigation into Manchester City’s financial operations. The Premier League has launched a thorough investigation into the club and has brought 115 charges against them for suspected offences that occurred between 2009 and 2018. If these accusations turn out to be true, it might overshadow the achievements of Pep Guardiola’s highly regarded squad.

Alexander-Arnold’s comments emphasise the intangible elements that go beyond basic cutlery to contribute to a club’s heritage against the backdrop of these inquiries. Liverpool’s achievements in the Champions League and Premier League in recent years are evidence not only of their skill on the pitch but also of the club’s principles and culture.

“It’s tough. We’re up against a machine that’s built to win – that’s the simplest way to describe City and their organisation,” the Liverpool and England star told Four Four Two. “Looking back on this era, although they’ve won more titles than us and have probably been more successful, our trophies will mean more to us and our fanbase because of the situations at both clubs, financially.

“How both clubs have built their teams and the manner in which we’ve done it, probably means more to our fans.”

“From the turn of the year, City switch it on and it’s a difficult machine to stop,” admitted Alexander-Arnold “But we’ve shown in the past that we’ve been able to do it and there’s no reason why we can’t go and match them this season. We’re excited to be involved with City and know we’re in a good position.

“I’m sure they’ll be motivated, as are we. It’s going to be an exciting end.”
