Pep Guardiola said Manchester City survived a second-half "tsunami" from Liverpool to secure a 1-1 draw on March 10 that leaves three sides separated by just one point at the top of the English Premier League.
Arsenal lead the way on goal difference from Liverpool, with defending champions City just one point back in third.
Guardiola is still to win in front of a crowd at Anfield, as City's only victory stretching back to 2003 remains in a behind-closed-doors clash in 2021.
However, City was the happier to escape with a point after Liverpool laid siege to the City goal after Alexis Mac Allister's penalty cancelled out John Stones' first-half opener.
"That is a game that defined what both clubs have been for many years," said Guardiola.
"Sooner or later in this stadium, it is like a tsunami."
The final league clash between Jurgen Klopp and Guardiola did not disappoint as Liverpool roared back in a breathless second half despite being depleted by injury.
Klopp's men could have regrets if they do not go on to break City's run of three consecutive league titles, though.
They missed a plethora of chances to secure a crucial win and were controversially denied a second penalty deep into stoppage time, when Jeremy Doku's boot caught Mac Allister on the chest inside the box.
