Well, the fact that nepo has now got to win at least one game should lead to something different ?
Yes. Nepo will be aggressive now . Making room for more error that can be capitalised by Magnus

What should be the strategy for Magnus now? Should he now just defend everything or still push for some wins?
Magnus should just play the board. There's no need to slack off to rest on a victory and go for less than a win.
Given his mindset, from what I have seen in these press conferences, Magnus is going to follow just what you said. So yeah he isn't going to relax
That rook sacrifice took my breath away.

The GOAT of endgames? Yes. The overall GOAT? No.
All the same, props to Nepo for defending a difficult endgame for so long; he was really making Magnus work for that W. When I first saw 80.Rxf7+, I thought it was a disadvantageous transformation. A few moves later, I saw that Nepo would be lucky to escape with a draw. Let's hand it to Magnus for winning such a difficult endgame with minutes on the clock!

Move 33.Rd1 by Magnus was reported to be a blunder. The only blunder in this game. And I have no idea why. Much of this stuff is beyond me. For example, Yan plays ..54 Qe4 and leaves white's rook alone. I would have gone capture the rook on a3 and I think anyone my rating would have.

Game 6, the longest world chess championship game, will go down as one of the most famous endgames in history. It'll be legendary as Fischer's Game 6.

There is a very complicated engine line that is supposedly winning after 33. Rcc2, not easy to see with very little time on the clock (Carlsen spent three seconds on that move). After 53. … Bxa3 and rook takes the black pawns are very difficult to defend, white can slowly get both rook and knight in position to pick one or two of them.

This is definitely one of those games we'll look back on for it's historic value. Carlsen is known for being a "grinder" and what better example than the game he gave us today. Wow. Amazing. His fighting spirit is just as admirable as his technical ability.
Carlsen had less than a minute on the clock and was able to recover and win the game, what a beast!
chessbrah has a pretty good recap up already on the game

Another nice aspect to a win today is that it forces Nepo to play for wins going forward --- good for the fans

He's not as good at middlegame complications as Kasparov or other legends. But being able to win games in the style he did today is especially important when facing such high-level competition.
Wow! someone actually won a game!
The Magnus Grind.
Indeed wow
You don't stay World Champion by playing SAFE moves.
You have to play GOOD moves.
Yeah I mean he needs to play good moves. But he will refrain from taking any risks either maybe
