Man City v Liverpool - 9 Nov 2025 Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.

Ruben Dias, speaking to Sky Sports: "Obviously very happy for him [Pep Guardiola]. We live for games like this. There is no higher level than this kind of level.

"Everyone did a great game.

"We need to push all of us. Everyone, myself, we need to push everyone. The amazing game he [Jeremy Doku] did, the sprint Haaland did to compensate.

"I remember before I came to this club and watching this club - these were the details that made them win so much.

"Differences of everyone ready to show up and ready to sacrifice for the guy next to him.

"This is not new, this has been going on for a while now. We have been talking about a rebuild since last season.

"Yes, of course, there are new faces because of the ones that left, but that quality stays the same, and we keep on pushing.

"It is still early in the season, feet on the ground."

Khaldoon Al Mubarak was here today and clearly approved of what he saw.

Let's focus a little more on Doku's display there.

He completed seven of eight attempted dribbles, had four passes into the final third and won 11 of his 14 duels.

It was just as much about his decision making, strength and composure as it was the pace we know he possesses in abundance.

Possession: City 49% - 51% Liverpool

Passes: City 375 - 392 Liverpool

xG: City 1.60 - 0.71 Liverpool

Shots: City 14 - 7 Liverpool

Corners: City 7 - 7 Liverpool

Fouls: City 14 - 15 Liverpool

While every player on the pitch more than played their part in a special result, so did you - the Etihad crowd.

That was a phenomenal atmosphere and there's no doubt in mind it will be well appreciated by players and coaching staff.

The boss reaches 1000 games in management having won a mammoth 716 times.

In that time, his sides have scored 2,445 goals and conceded just 813 - a positive goal difference of a staggering 1,632.

We'll have a more detailed look at the numbers throughout the boss' career on mancity.com and our official app tomorrow!
