It was a game of two different halves at Anfield where Liverpool and the Citizens had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
The first half performance from both teams were flat and toneless as it was evidently shown on the scoreboard.
Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s side improved in the second half to put up a pulsating and breathtaking game of football.
Liverpool took the lead from Sadio Mane on 59 minutes but England international Phil Foden pulled parity for the visitors ten minutes later.
Egypt superstar Mohamed Salah restored Liverpool’s advantage 14 minutes before the final whistle and the Citizens dug deep to settle for a draw when Kevin De Bruyne scored on 81 minutes.
"Thank god a football game has two halves. We are really happy about the second and not so happy about the first for obvious reasons,” Klopp said after the game.
“We did a lot of things wrong in the first half and City did a lot of things right in the first half so we never got really in the game. We weren't much worse, we never played enough football.
“I was most happy in my career about the half-time whistle. It was never planned that we played like this and we needed half-time and we used half-time and played a really good second half.
"Man City with the ball is a proper team. There are ways to defend it. They had chances clear but they didn't score from that. It gives you a really bad feeling which leads to not playing football. We had long balls which didn't make sense.
“All these things we changed in the second half immediately. We were now in the game and scored wonderful goals with the ball.
“The message was to play the extra pass. We didn't do that in the first half at all. Do we want to win a game like this? Yes. We have to admit today the point is completely fine.
