In a preseason rematch of last season’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal, as the 11v11 database records, English Premier League giants Manchester City and Liverpool square off in an International Champions Cup “friendly” match that will live stream from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — the home of the National Football League’s New York Giants and New York Jets.
For Liverpool, superstar striker Mo Salah — last season’s Premier league top scorer with 32 goals, per the BBC — appears likely to see playing time along with his Senegalese strike partner Sadio Mane, after the duo sat out Sunday’s International Champions Cup showdown with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, as the Inquisitr covered.
Liverpool’s star acquisition in goal, Brazilian keeper Alisson, will not join the club until after the Reds complete their United States tour, however, according to Sky Sports . But Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp knows that the pressure is on his club to take home a trophy in the coming season, after shelling out about £250 million — $328 million — in transfer fees over the past year, capped by the £66.8 million, or $88 million, signing of Alisson from Italian side AS Roma, as the BBC reported.
“First of all we have to play the football that gives us an opportunity to win something. We cannot talk about winning something before we start the season,” Klopp said on Tuesday.
