Arteta chokes on Klopp

The rivalry between Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp has dominated the last chapters of English football history. A rivalry in which the German came out triumphant, narrowly: nine wins against eight, plus two draws. Now, It seems that a pupil of Pep has learned how to face Liverpool's Mikel Arteta. The Basque coach took the controls of a ship whose course needed adjustments, that of Arsenal and, the one that was second to City, has fallen on his feet in the Emirates. Thus, in just a few months, it has even earned promotion. In addition to having become a kind of nemesis for the one from Stuttgart.

Arsenal and Liverpool played a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Thursday and, once again, the London team won the battle. While it is true that those from Merseyside were superior, Leno's brilliant performance in goal and the lack of aim made the match a maximum penalty for Klopp and his team. If a few days ago Klopp made the Spanish kneel for the first time, in less than a week he has seen how the one from San Sebastián put the omelette on his side again. This was the fourth time that both men saw each other as heads of their respective benches and the third in which the scale weighed more on the side gunner.

The most painful defeat also came from the fateful point, since there was a title at stake. The Community Shield became the second title in less than a month for Arteta (He won the FA Cup against Chelsea). In the match between the Premier and FA Cup champions, Aubameyang was decisive, both in regulation time with his goal and scoring the decisive penalty of the shoot-out. Two fingers.

The first would also fall from the side gunner, although they received in the Emirates a Liverpool that already knew itself champion. However, the eleven of the German technician was the one of the great afternoons and Lacazette and Nelson's goals turned Mané's initial goal. That would become the first confrontation between the two and laid the foundations for a rivalry that promises. Arteta's 3-4-3 chokes Klopp.
