Jamie Carragher Misses Liverpool’s Premier League Victory for London Marathon
Jamie Carragher was absent from Anfield during Liverpool’s celebration of their Premier League title, choosing instead to support his wife, Nicola, as she participated in the London Marathon.
Liverpool secured their title with an impressive 5-1 victory over Tottenham, following an early lead by Dominic Solanke. Goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and an own goal by Destiny Udogie sealed the win.
Several Liverpool legends, including Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish, attended the match to witness the club claim their 20th league title. However, Carragher was at the marathon, where his wife Nicola completed her run.
Nicola Carragher has now finished all six World Marathon Majors, having participated in marathons across London, Tokyo, New York, Boston, Berlin, and Chicago. In an Instagram post, Jamie expressed immense pride in her achievement.
Although he could not be present at the game, Carragher shared his thoughts on Liverpool’s victory in a column for the Telegraph. He highlighted the significance of their 20 league titles, equating their success with that of Manchester United.
Carragher noted that Liverpool’s triumph, along with their six European Cups, solidifies their status in English football history. He emphasized the importance of this moment, suggesting that it ends the debate over which club is the most successful.
Gary Neville, a Manchester United legend, acknowledged that Liverpool’s achievement places them at the top of English football history. He emphasized the emotional impact this holds for United fans, marking a significant moment in football rivalry.
