Mahrez cut in from the left flank, attempting to flick the ball over Allison. However, the winger’s effort went over the bar, denying City the chance to solidify their position at the top of the table.

De Bruyne was asked for his opinion on the miss following the game to which he told Sky Sports (via CityXtra):

“Riyad [Mahrez] chose to chip the keeper; if it goes in it’s a wonder goal but it didn’t happen. We played very well and had the upper hand. We didn’t win, it can happen but that’s the way we need to play going forward.” 

Alisson was a capable goalkeeper for Liverpool, and his stance in coming off his line to confront Mahrez may have caused the forward to overcomplicate the scenario.

In any case, the title battle is still on a knife’s edge, with City behind Liverpool by just a point with seven games remaining.

City dominated the game and failed to take advantage of numerous chances, with not only Mahrez but a number of other players failing to finish.

During Sunday’s game, Pep Guardiola’s team had eleven shots, but only five of them were on target. They were impressive in their match against the Reds, and a win would have put Liverpool’s title hopes in jeopardy.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s side’s determination to mount a comeback on two occasions demonstrated the tenacious and resilient team they have become under the German.

Manchester City’s focus now shifts to Wednesday’s match at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. They will face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals to see whether they can secure a place in the final.
