Just had a fierce battle with Manchester United in the FA Cup for 90 minutes, and the explosion of the small universe that relied on the most glory was reversed and eliminated Manchester United.

Immediately afterwards, Manchester City will usher in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

The semi-finals in the league are different from before. They are no longer a knockout match with a certain victory or defeat, but a two-round match between home and away games.

In other words, even if Manchester City wins the first game, they may not be able to advance to the finals.

In the first leg, they faced Liverpool at home.

This is an opponent they have just beaten, but just beaten does not mean that they can beat Liverpool again in the next game.

The fun of football lies in the fact that the opponents you meet in each game are different. Even if it is clearly the same team, even the starting lineup has not changed.

But when the players are in different states, the game will be played in different ways.

Especially the difference between the league and the cup.

Liverpool have missed the European Cup for two consecutive seasons. They not only missed the Champions League, but also were not qualified to participate in the Europa League.

Judging from the league this season, it is not easy for them to qualify for the Champions League. If they can obtain the guaranteed qualification to participate in the European game by winning the League Cup, Liverpool will definitely be willing.

So maybe they will lose 1:4 away to Manchester City in the league, but they may not continue to lose to Manchester City in this league cup.

If Manchester City still faced the match with their mentality of defeating Liverpool 4-1 in the last game, they might not lose.

I don’t know if I spent too much energy and used up all the luck they had accumulated before in the game against Manchester United, nor do I know if it was Manchester City players who really didn’t take their long-term defeat Liverpool seriously.

In short, Manchester City lost to Liverpool 0-1 at his home court.

This is their first loss in all competitions this season.

When this result came out, the media were shocked and could not believe what they saw and heard - Manchester City would actually lose at home?!

This is their home court!

At their home court, shouldn't Manchester City be invincible?

Manchester City actually lost...

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Liverpool players ran and celebrated.

They hugged each other and cheered.

That looks like they've attracted the League Cup.

Manchester City players stood on the court in a daze, unable to believe this reality.

"It's incredible... Manchester City actually lost to Liverpool at home." John Motterson sighed. "Manchester City didn't play well in this game. They never got into the form. The players looked exhausted and even the Trident was silent. They played badly in the first half with Manchester United, but they could still reverse the second half. But this time, their performance in the whole game was not good..."

"Mar City players are probably reaching a limit..." Alan Hansen analyzed. "In the end, we can see that they are not trying to fight, but they can't fight at all. Their legs are like they are filled with lead, and they can't lift them up at all..."

"Marcelona lost, I think this will definitely become big news after the game!"

John Motterson said it was right. Manchester City unexpectedly lost to Liverpool at home, which did cause a strong response after the game, and a big discussion started on the Internet as soon as possible.

The media followed up quickly.

Many people think that Liverpool's defeat of Manchester City is of great significance and far-reaching impact.

Maybe this is not the beginning of Manchester City's collapse?

"... Although I tried my best to win Manchester United, the consequences of that game have begun to appear. Manchester City has taken themselves to the difficult situation of multi-line combat. In fact, I think they should give up the FA Cup... But it is also good to give up the League Cup now. The failure for Liverpool is a signal, reminding Manchester City players that they cannot cover all the championships. Giving up appropriately is a wise choice, and failure does not mean being embarrassed."

"Manchester City's collapse may have begun. From the loss to Liverpool, we can clearly see the current situation of this team..."

"Multi-line combat brings players not only physical difficulties, but also huge psychological pressure. If I were Benitez, I would give up a certain event so that I could concentrate on a truly valuable event..."

...

Many people on the Internet gloat about Manchester City's loss. They were already very upset with Manchester City, which relied on the support of the Middle East chaebols, and Manchester City's continuous winnings made their unhappy reach the peak.

Now that they have the chance to see Manchester City lose in a miserable way, they feel as happy as drinking ice coke during the dog days of summer.

Many people made a prediction online that Manchester City will collapse and lose all the money.

In the league, Manchester City was tied away by Wigan Athletic again.

It looks like they are really in a very troublesome situation.

Manchester City almost lost again in this game. At that time, their unbeaten league may end...

Until the 86th minute, Manchester City was still behind Vigan Athletics with one goal. At that time, Rong Guang dribbled the ball and was trapped in a deep siege, and there was almost no way, but he suddenly passed the football from under the feet of a Vigan Athletic defensive player and passed it to Ibrahimovic who was escorting to the goal.

Ibrahimovic made a very beautiful shovel and shoveled the ball directly into the goal.

In the end, with this goal, Manchester City tied Wigan Athletics 1:1 away.

Manchester City players were very excited when they scored, but when the game ended, they were still quite frustrated because they failed to win.

Since losing to Liverpool in the League Cup, everyone has been under tremendous pressure because the media and fans are slandering them and not optimistic about them.

As a result, in this league, facing a team that is not very strong, it was unable to win, which seemed to confirm the opinions of the media.

Manchester City got a draw, while United beat Bolton 3-0 at home, finally ending an embarrassing two-game losing streak in the league.

Manchester City draws and Manchester United wins, and the difference between the two teams has changed. Now it is Manchester City 52 points, Manchester United is 48 points, and the difference between the two teams is four points.

Although Manchester City played one less game, this was not a decisive factor.

So Manchester United still has hope.

In the next half season, as long as they do their best and devote all their energy to the league, they can still threaten Manchester City's top position in the league.

The loss to Liverpool in the League Cup, and the two away games against Wigan Athletics in the league seemed to indicate that Manchester City's crazy state was about to come to an end.

They have already tied two of the last three league games in the league, which is not a good sign.

You should know that before that, they only drew two games in the 18 rounds of the league.

In the eyes of many people, perhaps what is waiting for Manchester City next is not a draw but a failure. Their consecutive unbeaten record in the league will also be ended!

This time they avoided losing with this personal ability of glory, but they can't always rely on the personal glory of glory, right?

In the 22nd round of the league, Manchester City will face Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Tottenham Hotspur had a very good performance for a while, which brought their league ranking to second place at one time.

However, their performance was unstable and overly relied on Gareth Bale, which made their grades start to decline.

Tottenham Hotspur has been surpassed by Manchester United and ranked third.

Of course, this ranking is quite good for Tottenham Hotspur. After all, their goal this season is to qualify for the Champions League next season.

This qualification can be obtained in the top four of the league, and they rank third.

They accumulated forty-six points, while Chelsea, ranked fourth, was still six points away from them.

Relatively safe.

In this round of the league, Manchester United challenged Arsenal away.

If Manchester City wants to open the gap with Manchester United again, this round is a good opportunity.

Of course, the premise is that they will beat Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Tottenham Hotspur this season has caused headaches for many teams.

Especially this time they also have a healthy and in excellent form Gareth Bell.

The two sides fought in the first round this season (I could only sit in the stands due to injury.

This time he will twist the strength of the two games together and use it in this game.

Before the game started, he said murderously that he knew that Manchester City was in poor form at the moment, but he would not be affected by this: "How should I play or play, no matter whether they are in good condition or not. We are here to take away a victory, and no matter whether they are in good condition, the goal will remain unchanged."
