"What impressed me about these quality players was the desire was still there to go and win the game right until the end," Keane said on Sky Sports. "No team was ever going to dominate for long spells because there's so much quality on both sides. "Liverpool struggled to get going but in the second half, they showed their character. Klopp had a go at them at half-time and they were early out onto the pitch for the start of the season period. "He wanted them to show their true colours and we saw that before City again some great chances. It was a great reminder of what the game is all about and why we love it. Credit to all the players." https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1513212622014976008
