Pep Guardiola may have felt a twinge of disappointment observing Liverpool’s elimination from the FA Cup by the hands of Manchester United. The 4-3 loss at Old Trafford not only shattered the visitors’ aspirations of securing an unlikely quadruple trophy triumph but also eradicated the possibility of a final cup showdown against the Spanish head coach.
According to reports from Liverpool.com, there exists a slight chance of arranging a playoff match, contingent upon both Liverpool and Manchester City finishing tied in points, goals scored, and goal difference.
This situation would require an unusual playoff scenario to determine the winner, a spectacle seldom seen in English football.
With the Premier League championship potentially at stake, the idea of a playoff match between two formidable teams like Liverpool and Manchester City is highly enticing.
Such a clash, especially in Jurgen Klopp’s farewell season, would inject an additional dose of excitement into an already captivating season. Nevertheless, considering the unpredictable nature of football, meeting the stringent criteria for a playoff appears unlikely, rendering the scenario more of an alluring fantasy than a feasible reality.
