Manchester City revitalized the Premier League title race on Sunday at Anfield by securing a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Liverpool, narrowing the gap behind league leaders Arsenal to just six points. Despite falling behind to a spectacular free-kick from Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai, Pep Guardiola's squad staged a resilient second-half performance to hand the Reds a significant setback in their quest for multiple trophies. This pivotal result highlighted a weekend of high-stakes European football where traditional powerhouses across France, Spain, Italy, and Germany fought to solidify their standing in their respective domestic hierarchies. Beyond the English top flight, the continental landscape saw major shifts and defensive consolidations. In France, Paris Saint-Germain reclaimed their position at the top of Ligue 1 after a commanding performance against Marseille in 'La Classique,' surpassing the season's surprise contenders, Lens. Meanwhile, the status quo remained intact in Spain’s La Liga, as both Barcelona and Real Madrid secured victories, maintaining a narrow one-point margin between the long-standing rivals. In Germany, Bayern Munich recovered from a brief slump by defeating Hoffenheim, re-establishing a six-point cushion over Borussia Dortmund at the summit of the Bundesliga. Italy’s Serie A witnessed a dominant display from Inter Milan, who continued their upward trajectory under Christian Chivu. Their 5-0 demolition of Sassuolo extended their lead to eight points over AC Milan, although the Rossoneri still hold a game in hand. On an individual level, Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres emerged as a primary winner of the week; the Swedish striker has transformed his form since the start of the year, netting six goals since January 1. Despite early criticisms of his £55 million price tag, Gyökeres is successfully emulating a low-touch, high-output scoring style that has become vital for Mikel Arteta’s tactical setup as the Gunners maintain their lead at the top of the table.
