West Ham United striker Michail Antonio has issued a public apology to Liverpool for his past comments that have aged badly. Earlier in the season, Antonio boldly claimed on the Footballer’s Football Podcast that West Ham would finish higher than Liverpool. However, his comments did not go down well, especially after West Ham lost 3-1 to Liverpool at Anfield.
Currently, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool is leading the Premier League and remains competitive on all fronts. Realizing his mistake, Antonio expressed his regret and apologized to Liverpool in the latest episode of his podcast.
Antonio admitted that his previous comment was wild and deluded. He acknowledged that Liverpool's performance has been impressive, contrary to his earlier belief that they were not gelling as a team. Antonio publicly apologized to the Liverpool fans and players, retracting his previous statement.
In addition to his apology, Antonio praised Liverpool's transfer decisions, particularly highlighting the impact of Diogo Jota and other players that were initially questioned by critics. This incident serves as a reminder that predictions in football can be unpredictable and that it is important to acknowledge and rectify any misguided statements.
