After defeating Bolton, Manchester City is only one game away from AC Milan's record.

So the number on the official social network of Manchester Evening News was changed to "1".

Originally, the third round of the league began on August 27th.

However, as Manchester City went to Monaco to play the European Super Cup with last season's League Cup champion Porto, Manchester City's third league round was prematurely played half a week.

On the afternoon of August 24, Manchester City will challenge Tottenham Hotspur away.

Tottenham Hotspur cannot be considered a weak team, and it once caused trouble for Manchester City last season.

Gareth Bale was unstoppable in the game at that time. If glory had not been more unstoppable than him, Manchester City might have lost to Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur's most threatening Manchester City player is Bale.

After Bale lost to Rongguang, Rongguang took the initiative to exchange jerseys for him and encouraged him, which made Bale reject the high-paid invitation from Real Madrid this summer and insisted on staying at Tottenham Hotspur.

He hopes to rely on his own efforts to help the team qualify for the Champions League next season in the new season.

But unfortunately, just during the pre-season training camp, Bale was injured, and he was seriously injured and had to miss the game for three months.

This was a heavy blow to Bale and Tottenham Hotspur.

At the same time, Bale's absence also made them lose their only hope of defeating Manchester City at home.

If Bale had not been injured, it was hard to say what the final result of this game would be.

Before this game, Rongguang accepted an interview with reporters and also talked about Bell.

"I'm sorry, I can't compete with him on the court. I hope he can get out of the injury as soon as possible."

Bale also responded to Rong Guang's blessing: "Thank you! Rong is a very great and amazing player! Being able to compete with him has always been my dream. I am very sorry that I am injured now, but I will recover as soon as possible and challenge Rong again on the court!"

The interaction between the two is also considered a warm moment in this focus battle.

But the warmth off the court will not affect Manchester City's performance in this game.

After all, as long as they win Tottenham Hotspur, they will tie the record. At this critical moment, it is almost impossible for Manchester City to lose the chain - this has been proved several times before.

In this third round of league game that was played in advance, although Tottenham Hotspur was at home, they seemed vulnerable when facing Manchester City.

Without Bell, their offense quality has been much lower than usual.

In offense, it is impossible to threaten Manchester City, so it can only be beaten by Manchester City.

No good result is to be beaten by Manchester City, let alone a team like Tottenham Hotspur, which has an unstable defense...

At the end of the first half, Manchester City led Tottenham Hotspur two goals. The person who scored these two goals for Manchester City was Ibrahimovic, who scored four goals in the last game, but he didn't score a single goal. Ibrahimovic could only watch Glory and Kaka show the limelight, and finally he vented all the anger of the last game in this game.

In the game against Bolton, Manchester City was tied by the opponent while leading two goals. So will Manchester City repeat the same mistake this time?

Obviously not.

Just as the second half began, Rong Guang used a powerful shot in the penalty area to open Tottenham Hotspur's goal, rewriting the score to 3:0.

This game has completely lost its suspense.

Commentators John Motterson and Alan Hansen have begun to discuss the significance of Manchester City tying the AC Milan record, and reviewing how Manchester City tied the AC Milan record.

"...For Manchester City, it is really not easy to think about it now... After being eliminated by Everton, Manchester City was only seven games away from the longest unbeaten record in England's top league. At that time, "North London Horn" ridiculed Manchester City, but unexpectedly, such an ordinary ridicule turned into the beginning of a great history..." John Motterson sighed. "Rong's goal at that time was just to surpass Arsenal's record, but now they have reached the top of Europe..."

"It's really amazing. In the fifty-eight league games, many times, Manchester City is actually on the verge of failure. But this team always has some people who can change the situation by relying on their own. Rong, Ibrahimovic, and now they have Kaka again... I said Manchester City is one of the most powerful teams in Europe today, and I think there is no problem, right?" Alan Hansen said.

"Of course there is no problem, we can even remove 'one'..."

Manchester City fans in front of the TV and on the Internet are excited about the team tying AC Milan.

However, the players on Manchester City's field have no intention of stopping.

After Glory scored, Sneider and Godin scored another goal each. The score was finally frozen at 5:0.

The home team Tottenham Hotspur failed to score a single goal.

Without Bale, Tottenham's offense suddenly fell into a stagnation.

During the broadcast of this game, the camera often gave Bale a face. Bale, who was sitting in the box, watched the ball with his wife, but his expression was always solemn. When the team missed the opportunity, he seemed more excited than his teammates on the court. When the team lost the ball, he covered his face with both hands and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Sometimes he is even more eye-catching than the players on the court.

However, this is of no use.

Tottenham still lost the game.

When the referee blew the whistle of the game, John Motterson raised his arms and shouted: "The game ends! The 58th league unbeaten! Manchester City tied AC Milan!"

"Excellent record! Awesome Manchester City! Twenty years later, Manchester City finally caught up with AC Milan and stood shoulder to shoulder with that great team!"

Before the game ended, Manchester City's substitutes left their seats and stood on the side of the football field. Now that they heard the whistle sound, they rushed to the court and went to hug and celebrate with their teammates.

This scene is like Manchester City has won the championship.

But this is more delightful than the champion.

A team may lose one or two games in the process of winning the championship, and such a failure will not affect the final result. However, in the pursuit of the record of unbeaten in the league, it cannot be lost in a single game.

Champions allow a certain tolerance rate, which can make you make some mistakes. But this one cannot make any mistakes.

In the past fifty-eight league games, Manchester City has made no mistakes and has not lost a single game. This record is hundreds of times more difficult than winning the championship.

They have reason to celebrate this way.

Manchester City fans in the stands were also celebrating wildly.

The only downside is that this is Tottenham Hotspur’s home court, and Tottenham Hotspur fans do not want to see Manchester City be so arrogant under their noses.

So as Manchester City celebrated, Tottenham fans booed, making their victory look a little regretful.

A reporter also mentioned this issue to Rongguang during a post-match interview.

Rongguang seemed to do nothing: "It's no big deal, we still have home games."

What he means is that after returning to home, Manchester City can continue to celebrate unbeaten, which means that at least Manchester City's consecutive unbeaten leagues will be 59 games, not 58 games. He made up his mind to be the best team, not "one of the best teams."

After the game, this matter was discussed throughout England and even Europe.

Especially the Italian media.

"Milan Sports" published the news that Manchester City tied the record of AC Milan's unbeaten league in the first place, which caused heated discussions in Italy.

Some people were amazed at Manchester City's performance and thought they were as great as the AC Milan team back then.

But some people expressed their disdain, believing that it is too easy to win a league unbeaten in a row now and it is completely incomparable to Serie A in the early 1990s.

The two sides confronted each other on TV, newspapers and the Internet.

As the record-breaking head coach of AC Milan, Saki seemed very generous. After Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur, Saki immediately congratulated Manchester City on the Internet.

"Congratulations to Manchester City, this is a great achievement! With the joint efforts of all Manchester City players and coaches, it is very proud that the team has achieved such a result. I am very happy to see that there is another team that can be the same as AC Milan. This era belongs to Manchester City!"

Then many media reporters went to interview Sakchi and wanted to hear in detail his views on this matter and his views on the current controversy.

Sachi still supports Manchester City.

"I don't agree with those who think that our era is more difficult than now. Football has been developing. The current skills and tactics must be more advanced than our time, and the current players must be stronger than our time. This is beyond doubt, otherwise football will really be regressing. But is football retreating? I don't think it is. To give the simplest example, there was a successful UEFA Champions League title defense, and it is common. Is it still there now? It has been gone long ago, which shows that football competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the gap between teams is getting smaller and smaller. Under such circumstances, Manchester City can still achieve 58 consecutive unbeaten results in 58 league games, which is of course very remarkable. I don't think there is anything to argue about. Any team can be unbeaten in 58 consecutive league games in such a fierce competitive environment deserves any praise."
