After the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 3-0 at home, and in another semi-final, Schalke 04 also lost to Barcelona 0:2 at home, and Messi scored twice in the game.

Judging from the scores of these two games, it should be no surprise that Manchester City and Barcelona will eventually reach the Champions League final.

So the entire European media began to pay attention to the peak showdown between Glory and Messi.

If Manchester City and Barcelona meet at Wembley in the final Champions League final, there will be too many highlights in this game.

First of all, it is naturally a contest between Glory and Messi.

These two are the best players in football now, and every battle between them is enough to cause a storm.

Since they are in different leagues, it is not easy for them to meet, and it is only possible in the Champions League.

Another highlight is that the final will be Barcelona's revenge battle.

The two sides had a fight in the Champions League last season, and it was still in the quarter-finals at that time.

As a result, Manchester City eliminated the defending champion, Barcelona, ​​without being optimistic. And it was a two-legged home and away double. It defeated Barcelona 3:1 at home and 2:0 away.

Barcelona's road to defending the title was ended. Barcelona, ​​which won the six-champion at the time, was called "Dream Three Team" by the media. They also have a nickname called "Cosmic Team", which is enough to prove their strength.

But such a team that is determined to defend the title was eliminated by Manchester City led by Rongguang...

So Barcelona is looking for revenge for Manchester City, and this final will be the best opportunity.

After the first leg, all media were discussing the finals between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​but Ferguson did not give up. He announced that Manchester United would make every effort to create miracles at Old Trafford.

"It's not time to draw a conclusion yet. It's not the end of the world to fall behind by three goals. Manchester United will fight to the last moment."

But Ferguson's statement was soon drowned in a big discussion about which Glory or Messi is stronger... Not even aroused a ripples...

On May 1st, in the last game of the 35th round of the league, Manchester City will face West Ham United at home.

Before this game, Manchester United, who had just lost the Champions League semi-finals, lost 0-1 away to Arsenal in the league, and the gap between them and Manchester City was widened to 11 points.

This means that as long as Manchester City defeated West Ham United in this game, they will successfully defend the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule!

Now the whole of England is focusing on Manchester City Stadium.

Will Manchester City fall before the finish line?

Will the goddess of luck favor Manchester United?

But Manchester City didn't let this happen.

Just ten minutes into the opening game, Ibrahimovic scored his first record for Manchester City.

There was no match in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and Ibrahimovic watched from the wall.

He was worried that the team would not be able to enter the finals, but later he found out that he had already entered the finals early... He was a little unhappy again because this result had nothing to do with him.

So he vented his anger to the league opponents.

Poor West Ham United...

Five minutes after Ibrahimovic scored, Manchester City scored another goal.

The person who scored this time was glory!

"Rong--!Rong--!! He expanded the score for Manchester City with a header! Now Manchester City is leading West Ham United 2-0 at home! There is no suspense in the game! Manchester City will win the second Premier League championship in their club history! And the fourth top league championship in England! They successfully defended their title!"

John Motson shouted with his arms waving.

Manchester City Stadium has become a sea of ​​joy.

Although the game has only just begun fifteen minutes, no one thinks that West Ham can still turn the tables.

"This Manchester City is simply unstoppable..." Alan Hansen also sighed. "I think Manchester City should really focus more on the Champions League. They are already hard to match in the Premier League. But if they can only be the leader in the Premier League but cannot achieve results in the Champions League, they will still be unable to get rid of the 'nova'... "

After Glory scored, Manchester City has been in control of the scene.

West Ham United didn't get any chance.

In the following game, although Manchester City did not score again, the score did not change.

From the 65th minute, Manchester City fans were already in the stands and couldn't wait to celebrate.

Celebrate victory and celebrate their league title.

In the second half, Benitez also frequently substitutions, allowing more players to get the chance to play.

So he gave all three substitutions to players who don’t have many opportunities to play.

He did not let the main players who were arranged to rotate in this game come on the court to find their state. He does not need to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals now.

Finally, when the referee blew three times and announced the end of the game, the Manchester City substitute player who had been guarding the sidelines rushed to the stadium, and Manchester City fans also jumped up in the stands, winning and cheering.

"The game ends! Manchester City beat West Ham United 2-0 at home! They successfully defended their title! And this is their 52nd unbeaten in the league! Manchester City's form is really hot..."

After Manchester City won its first league championship in 42 years last season, excited Manchester City fans rushed into the stadium and stripped away many of the players' jerseys, and Glory was not spared.

And this time, Manchester City fans have become much more rational.

At least they just stood in the stands and cheered, and did not rush down the court to strip the players' jerseys again.

After experiencing a league championship, they are happy to win the league championship again, but they cannot make them lose their minds excitedly.

Manchester City fans are gradually evolving from a country bumpkin who has never seen anything in the world to being used to being storms and waves without any surprise.

Perhaps only the Champions League champion can make them lose their minds again...

At the post-match press conference, Benitez thanked the whole team, saying that the league championship belongs to everyone, and there is no distinction between the main players and the substitutes at this time.

At the same time, he also said that after winning the league championship, the team's performance will not slacken.

"We still have the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals to play. And we also have to strive to end the season with an unbeaten record."

Everyone just regards the first sentence as Benitez's polite words.

And the second sentence really attracted everyone's attention.

Because everyone has only heard the saying that the season is unbeaten in the past, and no one else has said it. Some people suspect that this is the nonsense after Leiden Barnes was too excited.

But now, they heard from Benitez's mouth that Benitez admitted that one of Manchester City's goals is unbeaten season!

The team's head coach made such a statement, which shows that this is indeed the goal of the whole team, not the nonsense that Leiden Barnes was too excited.

However, there are three rounds left in the league. Manchester City's opponents in these three rounds are Everton away from home, Stoke City at home, and Bolton away from home in the 38th round.

Except for one Everton, the other two teams cannot pose any threat to Manchester City...

Now it seems that Manchester City has a great hope of unbeaten season.

After breaking Arsenal's consecutive league unbeaten record, Manchester City will also share Arsenal's season unbeaten championship record.

North London Horn and George Allen must be very upset now...

After the match against West Ham United, Manchester City has won the league championship ahead of schedule.

But that will soon become a thing of the past, and everyone's attention will not be focused on the league championship.

The focus of the entire Manchester City team is now shifting to the Champions League - not the Champions League semi-finals, but the Champions League finals.

For the second leg of the Champions League semi-final match with Manchester United, everyone thinks that Manchester City is unlikely to be reversed by Manchester United.

I won't talk about their total score being three goals ahead.

Just talking about this game, Ibrahimovic will end his red card ban and return to Manchester City's starting lineup.

At that time, the competition between him and Rongguang after starting will be enough to make Manchester United's defense headache...

Most people feel that before the game begins, the game has lost its suspense.

Manchester City will definitely advance to the finals.

In fact, this is true. In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the mid-week, Manchester City, who played away, did not relax because they had already led by three goals. Benitez still sent the strongest lineup, and Ibrahimovic's return made Manchester City's attacking power stronger.

After the game started, although Manchester United fought very hard and took the lead for a while.

However, before the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic, who was suspended for two games by a red card, used a long shot from the goal to tie the score for Manchester City.

After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic seemed very excited. He even took off his shirt, and this celebration brought him a yellow card.

This action also made Benitez very worried, for fear that Ibrahimovic, who was carrying a yellow card, would be hot and did something extraordinary, so he got the yellow card again and was sent out...

So during the halftime break, Benitez gave a reminder to Ibrahimovic.

"Do you still want to play in the Champions League final, Geratan?" Benitez made Ibrahimovic honestly with just a simple sentence.

The Swedes don’t want to be sent off by a red card after finally lifting the ban, and then miss the final... Then I will be a failure this season!
Chapter completed!
