Former English football star Steve McManman said that the Premier League title awaited by Liverpool this season "will be filled with some disappointment" given the expected celebration of the title in front of empty stands of fans.
MacManman, who has played in the past for both Liverpool and Real Madrid, stressed that the celebration and feeling of Liverpool in the Premier League title this season will not be the same as when the team won the Champions League title last season, noting that the reason is the absence of the fans from the stands due to the outbreak crisis New Coronavirus infections.
Liverpool need just two wins from their nine remaining Premier League matches to win the title for the first time in three decades.
"It will be great when Liverpool win the title. But the fans will not be on the stands," MacManman said in comments to the BBC's Radio 5 Live program.
"After that, the fans will be allowed to enter. They can celebrate the title through a tour of the city," the former star said in the statements released by the Europe Press news agency on Saturday.
But the reaction of the fans was already apparent when Liverpool returned to their city with the European Champions League, MacManman said. If the team wins the league title after 30 years of absence from the podium, they will celebrate it, but not as it was the celebration on the field and with the team members. "
Liverpool, led by its German coach Juergen Klopp, fell in front of Watford, a few days before the season ended, due to the Corona crisis.
With this, Liverpool will not be able to equal the achievement of Arsenal, which crowned the title in the 2003/2004 season without any defeat.
However, Liverpool can reach the record set by Manchester City in the 2017/18 season when they scored 100 points on their way to the Premier League crowning stage.
"His record in the league is phenomenal ... The great teams win and then they win again. Liverpool is the best, actually, in this league," MacManman said.
