Brazilian legend Ronaldo has weighed in on the current Premier League title race with a succinct yet impactful prediction. The former Real Madrid star, renowned for his prowess on the pitch, has thrown his support behind Manchester City to win their fourth consecutive league title. In a brief response to the Daily Mail,
Ronaldo confidently stated, “City.”
As the race heats up, Arsenal currently leads the pack after a crucial victory over Brentford. Liverpool, hot on their heels, couldn’t secure a win against City, leaving them level on points but trailing in goal difference. With the season approaching its climax, every match holds immense significance for the top contenders.
Manchester City has won five of the last six titles and showed their dominance in the league, with Liverpool the only side to have broken up City’s run in that time. Jurgen Klopp’s side will be aiming to repeat the trick before he departs Liverpool in the summer.
I don’t think I have ever been involved in a title race with three teams,” Klopp said after the draw with City.
“Germany was usually Bayern, but in one year we became champions it was Leverkusen. And here, there was only one team who became champions usually and we stepped in between one time. I don’t think there was a third time around. I don’t know. I literally don’t know if it changes something.
“We have 10 games to play, so obviously nothing is decided. There are plenty of games. The next one in the league is Brighton at home, traditionally it is not our favorite opponent. It is not that we think, ‘Thank God it’s Brighton.’ They play really good football and that is a tough game for us. At one point we play Tottenham here, we have to go to Aston Villa and stuff like this.
“City play Arsenal, play Tottenham and Aston Villa as well. So many teams are fighting, so much quality. The only thing I need for the moment, I would prefer to have 30 points between us and all the other things, but the realistic thing is are we really in that race from a performance point of view? Today I saw a team that is in the right position, so now let’s see what we can do.”
Ronaldo’s endorsement of Pep Guardiola’s side adds further intrigue to an already thrilling competition. Manchester City’s consistent performance under Guardiola’s leadership has made them a formidable force in English football.
Briefing on the title race after City’s draw with Liverpool, Guardiola said: “The reflection of that is a good point to say. Except one year when Liverpool won it with a lot of points, we were always there. The question is to be there. It will be difficult with the quality”
As fans eagerly await the outcome of this captivating title race, Ronaldo’s opinion adds an extra layer of excitement and anticipation.
