But when the spoils are given out at the end of this Premier League season, this might yet prove to be an afternoon that swayed the title City's way.
Considering they sit third in a three-horse race, that sounds a very fanciful thing to say.
In this vein of form on the Jurgen Klopp farewell tour, this Liverpool team could win every one of their remaining Premier League matches and that would be it for City. Arsenal could do likewise on their 10-game run-in, which starts at the Etihad on March 31.
And after taking a lead at Anfield and looking relatively comfortable, there will be some who see this as a big chance missed by the champions.
But when the dust settles on a monumental tussle, this could still prove to be a precious point earned by Guardiola's side, because after they gifted Liverpool an equaliser early in the second half, the away side was attacked with such passion, bombarded with such fervour, that defeat seemed inevitable.
