Nobody has ever been this excited to realise they are just about to win the Community Shield.
The memeing of Nuñez had obviously annoyed Jürgen Klopp, who took the opportunity to restate how stupid he believes it is. Dealing with perpetual malicious ridicule must now be one of the hardest things about being a top — level player. Few have been as candid as Ángel Di María, who admitted in 2018 that the subject had come up in conversations with his therapist: “The memes to the players of the national team hurt us a lot ... you see the family suffer, because they give you support but also suffer for you.
A journalist pointed out that Erling Haaland’s late miss — a shot against the bar from six yards with Liverpool’s goalkeeper grounded and helpless — would be a massive viral hit, and wondered whether Guardiola would encourage Haaland to watch it again or to ignore it. Guardiola looked irritated by the question. “He is strong. Mis-hit, the other time he’s gonna put it in the net, so what is the problem? It’s football.
