The London media have already said that the period when Manchester City and Barcelona were indistinguishable from each other was an excellent opportunity for Chelsea to overtake.

Such an opportunity is very rare. Once Manchester City is eliminated by Barcelona and return to the Premier League, they will not have the problem of fighting on both sides.

By then, if Chelsea is still second in the league, it will probably be difficult to overtake.

However, it is not their final say for Chelsea to overtake Manchester City. Of course, Chelsea wants to win, but they also have to look at Manchester City's face while winning.

Chelsea's overtake against Manchester City is mainly achieved by Manchester City themselves.

I just hope that Manchester City will be in a mess and lose the game when fighting on both sides...

Then there will be a bamboo basket to get a waste of water.

In fact, the best choice for Manchester City now is to give up one side and keep the other side.

Who else needs to be said to give up?

It must be the Champions League.

Manchester City is participating in the Champions League for the first time in 40 years. Do you still expect to reach the final and win the championship?

Of course this is unrealistic. Anyway, in the Champions League, we have encountered such a strong opponent as Barcelona, ​​so Manchester City might as well take the opportunity to go down the stage and give up this game strategically.

Then focus on the league's opponent Chelsea.

Even some Manchester media and Manchester City fans think so.

To be honest, it is meaningless to fight with Barcelona. What can you do if you eliminate Barcelona? Which team is easy to deal with when the Champions League is so good?

The tone was in vain at the end, and it would be better if I abandoned the car and kept the handsome guy.

But Benitez has no intention of doing this. As a head coach who wants to lead the team to the championship, if he wants to surrender before encountering a strong enemy, then surrender will become a habit.

In this way, how can we lead the team to win the championship?

What's more, after seeing the team's morale so high, Benitez couldn't make a strategy to give up the Champions League.

He knew that the media analysis was right, and rationally, it was the most perfect solution.

But there has never been a perfect thing in this world, and football cannot make decisions based on reason alone.

If everything is based on reason to make the most perfect choice, then how boring the world would be...

As soon as the lottery results came out, all over Europe and even the world were paying attention.

Manchester City meets Barcelona, ​​and this game is exciting.

More than two years ago, there was a scandal between Rongguang and Barcelona. At that time, the media reported it very frequently, and they all spoke firmly, saying that Rongguang left Bayern Munich after the end of the 207-26 season and joined Barcelona was a foregone conclusion.

There is a rumor that both parties have signed a contract.

Since then, Barcelona fans have been looking forward to glory to form the most terrifying offensive combination in the world with Messi and Ronaldinho.

Fans of other teams in the world do not want this to become reality.

In the end, most people won.

Rongguang was seriously injured, Barcelona did not admit that they had any agreement with Rongguang, and the transfer negotiations were suspended.

Rongguang did not go to Barcelona, ​​and he chose Manchester City after he returned from injury.

Later, Ronaldinho also transferred and left and went to AC Milan.

The most terrifying offensive combination in the world only exists in everyone's imagination or in football games, and has never become a reality.

Now, in the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City and Barcelona meet, which is also the second time Glory and Barcelona meet after that serious injury.

I missed it, but now what sparks will it stir?

Messi, who is already Barcelona's number one star, expressed his welcome to the draw result in an interview.

"...I'm very happy to be able to compete with Rong at such a high level. I will do my best."

The good relationship between Messi and Glory is known by the tireless publicity of the media.

Just like they all know that Glory and Kaka are not in good relationship.

When Ronaldinho was still there, he was Barcelona's well-deserved number one star. Messi was a newcomer who needed Ronaldinho's care.

But now he no longer needs to rely on anyone's wings. He is already one of the best players in football today. In the eyes of many people, he may not even need "one".

Some people even believe that as long as Messi leads Argentina to win a World Cup championship, he will definitely be recognized as the third football king.

He is the newest number one person in the world after Glory was injured.

There are still people who sigh now that if the glory had not been hurt, there might be nothing Messi would have had to do with it now.

But things are impermanent and the serious injury of glory gave two young players the opportunity to quickly rise, one is Cristiano Ronaldo and the other is Messi.

Of course, life cannot be assumed, and there is no if in football.

So everyone doesn't know what the football world would look like if Glory was not injured.

But at least now they have a chance to witness the answer to this question from another perspective.

After recovering from serious injury, Rong Guang quickly returned to his state before his injury, or was better than before his injury.

And what about Messi? He has been in an upward period.

Now that the two best players in the world meet, what will they perform?

It's really exciting.

Moreover, who is stronger between the two of them? If Glory was not injured, could Messi defeat him to the top, just like Glory defeated Kaka in the first place.

Manchester City and Barcelona did not have any grudges and revenge before, so if these two teams meet, there is basically no gimmick to hype.

But now with Glory and Messi, the showdown between these two people is enough to arouse everyone's interest.

At Manchester City, Glory is the well-deserved core, and in Barcelona, ​​the whole team serves Messi.

Everyone says that some players have the ability to change the results of the game alone. It is now recognized that Messi and Rongguang are such players.

So in such two crucial games, can they turn the tide and rewrite the results of the game one by one?

Everyone will wait and see these two games.

Some media conspiracy theories even believe that the lottery result must have been designed by UEFA to create a strong dialogue like Mars hitting the Earth.

Let’s see how many people around the world are discussing and looking forward to it after the results of this match come out. Those sponsors’ faces may be laughing...

Although everyone is looking forward to this game, there are three league games to play before this game.

On March 21, Manchester City challenged Fulham away, which is the 31st round of the league.

On March 24, Manchester City will play Everton at home, which is a supplementary match in the second round of the league.

On March 29, Manchester City will face Wigan Athletics at home, and the 32nd round of the league.

Chelsea will also pay close attention to these three games, because whether Manchester City will collapse, some clues should be seen from these three games.

Manchester City is also very concerned about the league, and does not say that they are all thinking about the Champions League.

After the draw results and specific schedule came out, Manchester City applied to the Premier League, hoping to postpone the 32nd round of Wigan Athletics. Because on April 1, Manchester City will face Barcelona at home.

On the night of April 3, Manchester City will challenge their league opponent Burnley away.

On April 8, after the league is played next week, Manchester City will go to Barcelona, ​​Spain to play the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

After the game ended, on April 11, Manchester City returned to home court and faced Birmingham. At this time, it was the 34th round of the league. There were only four rounds left before the end of the league.

Moreover, playing seven games in the twenty-two days from the 21st to April 11th is too demanding on the team's physical fitness.

However, the Premier League did not approve this requirement from Manchester City.

Their reason is that Manchester City's second round of league has been postponed to the current make-up game. The 32nd round has been postponed and there is no suitable match day for them.

After all, with the end of the league, there is little time. Moreover, after the end of this season, there will be the World Cup, and all national teams will have to train one month in advance. The league time of this season will be shortened by at least one month than usual seasons.

Now I can squeeze out time to arrange a day to play for Manchester City. It's really impossible.

However, considering the actual situation of Manchester City, they are willing to mention Manchester City's 32nd round of the league to the first game of this round, which is to play on the evening of March 27th.

In this way, before the April 1st game, Manchester City has at least four days off, which should be enough. After all, three to four days apart in the league and the Champions League are the standard treatment for all teams participating in the Champions League, and other teams can bear it. Why can't Manchester City bear it?

Of course, Manchester City is dissatisfied with this decision in the Premier League, but what can we do if we don’t accept it?

The Premier League is also talking about the actual situation, and what Manchester City faces is the actual situation.

Moreover, the Premier League has already advanced Manchester City's game time, so they did not allow them to only take two days off after the league to face the powerful Barcelona.

So no matter how dissatisfied Manchester City was, they had no choice but to accept this arrangement.

In this way, in the next twenty-two days, in the seven games, there is only an average of more than three days to rest between each game.

At the end of the season, this is a huge test for the physical fitness of the entire Manchester City team.

At the same time, this is the "collapse time" that Chelsea has been waiting for.

At that time, continuous games and desire for results will eventually lead to Manchester City's physical collapse and players being injured...

Once Chelsea overtakes, they will never give up their top position in the league. At that time, there are still four rounds left in the league. Ancelotti is confident that Chelsea will maintain a complete victory, so there is no need to look at anyone's face.

"...For Benitez's team, the next half month will determine what the final result of his efforts throughout the season will be, whether he will win the league championship, or lose all his money?"

Manchester Evening News commented after the schedule was confirmed.

Manchester City seems to have been leading the season, but in fact they also have hidden murderous intent.

Manchester City fans are the most tangled now.
