JURGEN KLOPP hugged Pep Guardiola at the final whistle as if he knew this was a moment to cherish.
The final Premier League showdown between two managerial greats produced one last enthralling battle before Klopp walks off into the sunset this summer.
Even though Arsenal were the big beneficiaries, the bookies still think the champions will come from one of these two - and it is easy to understand why.
Manchester City showed some wonderful quality, even if they failed to build on John Stones' first-half opener, as they surrendered control and the chance to take all three points.
But Liverpool also showcased incredible spirit and determination to haul themselves back into the game, which epitomised what Klopp has built at Anfield.
The atmosphere was deafening, intimidating and overwhelming as, time and time again, Klopp turned to the Reds fans to give his team more... and they always delivered.
Harvey Elliott was a dynamo in midfield, Virgil van Dijk a rock in defence and Joe Gomez produced another sensational display at left-back, right-back and then storming forward at the end.
For City, Stones stood out for his calmness as the noise and desperation swirled around him in a game that was played at breakneck speed - and never slowed down.
