Gary Lineker expressed satisfaction in being proven wrong, as his earlier comments about Liverpool came back to haunt him.

Gary Lineker has admitted he is “pleased to be wrong” after claiming it was “impossible” for Liverpool to win the Premier League this season. Under new manager Arne Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp in the summer, Liverpool have been in stunning form, surprising many, including Lineker. The team is currently six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand and is also performing well in the Champions League and Carabao Cup. Reflecting on his early prediction, Lineker acknowledged, “None of us, I don’t think anyone in football, predicted how they’d fly quite as high as they have.” He went on to admit, “I said ‘it’s impossible for them to win the league.’” His co-host Micah Richards laughed, while Lineker took the comment in stride, saying he didn’t mind admitting his mistake. He praised Slot for the exceptional job he’s done, acknowledging the team’s unexpected success. Lineker and fellow pundits agreed that Liverpool could win the Premier League this season, and their potential for a quadruple remains alive.
