Liverpool showcased a spectacular performance against Man City yesterday. Even though Man City had the lead in the first half, Liverpool, in a stellar fashion, equalized the ground, ending the match in a 2-2 draw.
However, Paul later deleted the tweet and added a new one.
Man City Vs Liverpool is a toss up. City has home field…but Liverpool on fire at the moment.
I’m putting my bet on The Reds and @mosalah

Paul’s statement drew the ire of fans. Further, he might even receive heavy backlash from Man City’s massive fanbase of 76 million. The very fact that Paul changed his statement about the fans puts him in a line of fire.
