Raheem Sterling's Controversial Exit and Impact on Liverpool's Title Race

It has been nine years since Raheem Sterling last scored a goal for Liverpool. His controversial exit from the club in 2015 left a sour taste in the mouths of Liverpool fans, and he has since become a target of boos whenever he faces his former team.

Sterling's move to Manchester City in 2015 coincided with Jurgen Klopp's appointment as Liverpool manager. Since then, Klopp has led Liverpool to numerous trophies, including the Premier League title in the 2019-2020 season. In contrast, Sterling's time at City has been underwhelming, with the team finishing 12th in the Premier League last season.

Despite his struggles at City, Sterling recently scored a crucial goal against his former team, helping City secure a draw against Liverpool. This result has put the Premier League title race back in Liverpool's hands, with every point now crucial for both teams.

While Sterling's goal may have given Liverpool fans a reason to cheer, his unsavoury exit from the club still lingers in their minds. Regardless of the outcome of this season's title race, Sterling won't receive any thanks from Liverpool fans for his contribution.

In the upcoming League Cup final, Sterling will have the opportunity to face his former team once again. While this could be the highlight of Chelsea's season, Liverpool will be focused on their pursuit of a quadruple. Sterling's impact on the title race may be significant, but his actions have already left a lasting impression on Liverpool fans.
