After eliminating Real Madrid, Manchester City made it to the Champions League semi-finals. A day later, their opponents in the Champions League semi-finals also came out.

Barcelona defeated AC Milan 3:1 at home and finally eliminated AC Milan with a total score of 3:1 and entered the semi-finals.

They will face Manchester City in the semifinals.

This is really... it's not that enemies don't get together.

In the Champions League final last season, Manchester City defeated Barcelona, ​​and the two teams met in the semi-finals this season.

This is a deliberate attempt to give Barcelona a chance to revenge...

Barcelona also thinks so.

After they eliminated AC Milan, Pique said in an interview that it was great to meet Manchester City in the semi-finals.

"...We have been waiting for this day. Since the final of last season, we have been looking forward to meeting Manchester City again. This time we will show them the power of Barcelona!"

Goalkeeper Valdes also said: "Manchester City is strong, but we are confident of defeating them. There is no team in this world that can win for a long time."

Messi also expressed his confidence in an interview: "I will give my all in the game. We respect Manchester City, so we will give our all."

In response to this, Manchester City's response was a little dull.

A reporter went to interview Rong Guang and told him that Manchester City's opponent in the semi-finals had come out and it was Barcelona!

"Oh." Rong Guang said oh first, then found that the reporter was still standing there, and added, "So what?"

"Do you have nothing to say?" the reporter said crazy.

"Not yet." Rong Guang shook his head and left.

Even if Barcelona lost to you in the Champions League final last season, you don’t have to be so dull, right? Is this a psychological battle of glory, or is it what he thinks?

No one knows.

Ibrahimovic refuted the "revenge theory" proposed by the Catalan media: "Why didn't we give us a chance to continue beating them?"

The reporter who asked the question backwards was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Because of the Champions League match against Real Madrid, Manchester City's 32nd round of the league was the last to play in this round. On the evening of April 8, Manchester City challenged Arsenal away.

The league has been held for thirty-one rounds, and Arsenal has once again shown his strength. They have risen from the sixth in the league at the beginning of the season to the third in the league. Currently, they have 58 points, squeezing Tottenham Hotspur, who has accumulated 58 points, to fourth. Because of the advantage of goal difference.

Arsenal's goal difference is one more than Tottenham Hotspur.

In the other 32nd round of the league that has ended, Tottenham Hotspur shook hands with Sunderland 0:0 away.

Temporarily surpassed Arsenal with fifty-nine points.

But Arsenal hasn't played yet.

If Arsenal can beat Manchester City at home, they will surpass Tottenham Hotspur in points and continue to rank third.

But if they lose to Manchester City, they will really have to go back to fourth place.

Although fourth place can also allow Arsenal to qualify for the Champions League next season, it is naturally the best result if he can not participate in the qualifying round. After all, the qualifying rounds of the Champions League start very early, which will disrupt Arsenal's summer preparation plan, allowing Arsenal to enter the official game too early, and may also suffer injuries and other situations.

Another important reason is that as a mortal enemy in the city, how could Arsenal let Tottenham Hotspur finally put on their heads?

They plan to take advantage of Manchester City's hard away game in the Champions League and take Manchester City off the unbeaten mythical throne with all their might in the league.

However, Manchester City did not get them to what they wanted.

Although Arsenal played well in this game, he scored the goal early.

But the tenacious Manchester City finally tied Arsenal away.

1:1.

This result is actually not satisfied with both sides. Arsenal tied this game and still scored with Tottenham Hotspur. However, they have been surpassed by Tottenham Hotspur in terms of goal difference. Tottenham Hotspur is now ranked third with a goal difference advantage.

As for Manchester City, after tied this game, they only led the second-place Manchester United three-pointer. Manchester City now has 82 points, while Manchester United has 79 points.

It's just a game difference.

In the final stage of the league, the two teams have another direct conversation. If Manchester United can beat Manchester City, they will tie Manchester City's points.

However, there is still a huge gap in goal difference between the two sides. Manchester City now has 65 goals difference, while Manchester United has 51.

So the safest way is to win another game, and pray that Manchester City will lose one game or draw a few more games.

Judging from Manchester City's current schedule and performance, there are more and more draws. Perhaps they may really lose the league championship in the future because they have too many draws.

※※※

On April 11, Manchester City will face West Bromwich at home.

Manchester City did not draw in this game, they beat West Bromvic 4-0 at home. Rong Guang scored his 30th league goal of the season in this game. He was far ahead in the league scorer list.

Meanwhile, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 away.

Continue to maintain the pressure to catch up with Manchester City.

After playing this game, Manchester United can get a rest, but Manchester City cannot. Three days later, they will welcome Everton at home, which is the FA Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City now maintains the lead in the league, has won the League Cup, has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the FA Cup has also reached the semi-finals.

It seems that they have the potential to win the championship on any front.

This is a huge temptation. At this time, I believe that Manchester City players will not be willing to give up any event easily.

Therefore, in the FA Cup semi-finals, Manchester City will do their best and give all the main players.

In fact, Benitez took this into consideration when playing against West Bromvic, and he allowed many players who participated in the match against Real Madrid and Arsenal to rest and use a rotation lineup.

When playing against Everton, Manchester City can come up with their strongest lineup.

The FA Cup semi-finals were held in a neutral stadium. Since the construction of the New Wembley Stadium, the FA Cup semi-finals and finals have been held at this stadium.

For Manchester City, this is equivalent to having more tiring travel.

But now that we have all this, Manchester City can't always complain about the schedule or something.

To win all the championships, you have to bear such a price.

Everton also did his best to do his best. He hoped to eliminate Manchester City and get the chance to advance to the finals.

The league has been held for thirty-three rounds, Everton has 47 points and is ranked seventh. They are still ten minutes away from Chelsea, who is sixth-placed, not to mention Newcastle United, which is fifth-placed.

If Everton wants to qualify for the European Cup next season, then the FA Cup is their only chance and they must win it.

Everton scored the first goal at the semi-finals at Wembley Stadium.

It seems that Everton's players are indeed more physically fit than Manchester City's players.

In the 24th minute, Everton forward Geravic scored the first record for Everton.

The Everton fans at Wembley Stadium cheered excitedly.

In the whole first half, Everton's performance was indeed better than Manchester City. They controlled the situation. Although Manchester City had been rotated, many main players were still very tired and were unable to enter the game for a long time.

Until the end of the first half, they were unable to score the score, and Everton entered the midfield with a goal lead.

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. At the beginning, there was no difference from the first half, but Everton firmly controlled the situation.

In the 60th minute, Geravic, the hero who scored the first record for Everton, fouled Kaka when he returned to defense. The referee gave Manchester City a free kick 25 meters away from the goal, which was a good free kick.

Everton was facing a great enemy and laid out a wall of up to six people.

But this was useless. Rong Guang's left-footed free kick drew an arc, walked around the wall, and flew into the blind spot of the goal!

"Rong!! Manchester City has not created any threatening offensive opportunities so far, but the advantage of having too many stars is that they can always find opportunities to solve problems based on the individual abilities of the players! For example, this free kick! Manchester City's overall condition is not good, but this cannot affect Rong's kicking football into the goal! Free kick is an opportunity that relies solely on the personal abilities of the stars, Rong seized it!"

After Glory equalized the score, Manchester City's overall condition rebounded, and the players seemed to have left their burdens and performed more easily.

In the 85th minute, after receiving Kaka's straight pass, Ibrahimovic entered the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Howard, he took a spoon shot. The football passed by Howard and fell into the empty goal behind him.

Another reflection of the stars’ personal abilities.

Manchester City led Everton 2:1.

The goal at this time can almost be said to be a final kill.

Everton, who lost two goals in a row, was depressed and he was unable to make a comeback in the next game. He could only watch Manchester City eliminate them and enter the FA Cup final!

"The game is over! Manchester City has reached the FA Cup final! They have another championship they can compete for!"

Everton's players left painfully, while Manchester City players stayed to celebrate the victory with their fans.

The FA Cup final will be held on the evening of May 5, before that, Manchester City will be played in three very important games, two Champions League semi-finals, and one with Manchester United's city derby.
Chapter completed!
