This time Manchester City adopted a semi-main lineup.
After all, they had just played Roma less than three days ago, with all their main players missing and Essien injured.
Blackburn may be relegated if nothing unexpected happens this season.
Although they showed a desire to win on the court.
But the strength gap between the two sides still forced them to surrender.
Two to zero.
Manchester City also did not control the situation and press Blackburn.
It's about controlling the rhythm.
As the saying goes, don’t chase poor criminals.
Manchester City really can't afford to be hurt now.
And when they turn around, they have another tough battle to fight.
April 1st, FA Cup semi-finals.
Manchester City VS Liverpool.
Everyone knows about Liverpool, right?
This is the team that sniped Manchester City's 22nd consecutive victory.
Liverpool: That’s right!
They were once known as the European anti-blue heroes.
Prevented the raging of the terrifying Blue Moon.
But in this game, Liverpool definitely suffered a backlash.
They conceded the goal early due to a mistake by goalkeeper Dudek.
When Dudek kicked the ball, Adriano flew to block the shot.
Adelaide rarely acts so hard.
As a result, the football hit Adriano's back and bounced into the Liverpool goal.
In the end, this goal was the only goal of the game.
Liverpool's skills don't stop there.
All their fronts this season have announced an early end.
Champions League, League, EFL Cup, FA Cup, all four are empty!
Although there are still eight rounds left in the league.
But the points gap between Chelsea and Manchester United has been widened by the top two perverts in the Premier League.
One is the terrifying Blue Moon who have not lost a single game in the fourth tier of matches so far this season.
One is the invincible Gunners who have remained undefeated in the Premier League so far.
Manchester City have won more games and are currently four points ahead of Arsenal.
The rest of the schedule for both sides is almost as scary.
But where Arsenal have an advantage over Manchester City is that they did not expend too much energy in their early EFL Cup appearances.
It didn't cause physical problems for the players.
So if there is a progress bar for physical and mental fitness, Arsenal's players should generally be better than Manchester City's players.
But the next day, Arsenal's advantage was even greater.
Because in another FA Cup semi-final, Arsenal, the invincible Premier League team, lost to Manchester United, which ranked third in the Premier League standings.
Cristiano Ronaldo contributes a winning goal for Manchester United!
Arsenal's third line becomes two lines!
Ronaldo also issued a declaration for Manchester United to win the championship this season: "I know it will be a little difficult for us to do something in the league, but it is not completely impossible."
"And in the FA Cup, I think we have a lot to do."
"I have won the Premier League with Manchester United, but I have not won the FA Cup. I am 200 percent hungry for any new honors."
"It's time for Manchester United to win an FA Cup!"
Manchester United fans are very excited about this.
After all, with two abnormal situations this season, the FA Cup is the best reward for Manchester United to compete.
…
April 4th, the 31st round of the Premier League.
Mars hits the Earth!
Undefeated Derby, staged again!
Manchester City vs Arsenal.
This game is very crucial.
Three days before this game, the two sides had just experienced the FA Cup semi-finals.
Three days after this game, both sides will have to experience the second round of the European knockout rounds.
Arsenal are going to a date with their city rivals Chelsea.
Manchester City will go to Barcelona to renew their relationship with their long-standing enemy Barcelona.
In these three games, both sides...are not going to give up!
"Sky Sports": "Both Manchester City and Arsenal are already in trouble, and they absolutely cannot give up on the European war. But the honor of being undefeated in the league, or the Premier League championship behind it, is also very important to them!"
"The Times": "Both Manchester City and Arsenal are walking a tightrope. It depends on whose feet the tightrope breaks first! Judging from the current results, Manchester City is the one more likely to encounter unexpected events."
"Echo": "Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-1 in the first leg. Manchester City beat Barcelona 2-2 in the first leg. Their situation is unclear!"
"Manwan": "Even if no players are injured, such a high-intensity and high-frequency game, even if both sides are the top teams in the world, will be difficult to bear."
"Record": "This is actually the problem of the Premier League. The competition in the Premier League is too fierce. Such serious internal friction will cause them to be weak in external competitions. Maybe, both teams will become losers because of this game!
"
"Kicker": "Yes, no matter what the result of this league is, they may become losers in the European war!"
The media are very worried about the situation in the Premier League.
But soon, some media said that the commercial value of the Premier League is very high and the championship is extremely influential.
Some media believe that the fierce competition in the Premier League has resulted in the gold content of their league championship being even comparable to Serie A and La Liga.
Anyway, there are all kinds of nice things to say.
But when you look at the power behind the media, they are basically the companies aiming to win the Champions League and UEFA Cup.
They just want Manchester City and Arsenal to fight among themselves.
Both teams are really strong this season.
The results were pretty much what everyone expected.
The two teams fought hard for the championship.
But the defensive quality of both sides is very high.
When attacking, there are six or seven people, and when returning to defense, there are nine or ten people.
The fight was full of passion.
In the 56th minute of the second half, Henry scored with a single shot!
In the 79th minute of the second half, after Toure's long shot, Deng Kai succeeded with a supplementary shot.
The duel of kings is staged!
The two sides finally shook hands and made peace again.
There was no winner between the two sides in the league this season.
At the end of the game, a bitter smile appeared on Wenger's face.
If it's good to win, not to mention narrowing the points gap, we can also use this joy to rush into the Champions League.
But now, both sides are exhausted.
Grass!
April 7th.
The city of London is generally sunny with dark clouds.
Arsenal fans returned home lonely in the heavy rain.
Arsenal's soul is broken at the Blue Bridge!
Chelsea successfully defeated Arsenal, whom they had never won in the league, 2-1!
Chelsea advances to the Champions League semi-finals!
After the game, when interviewed by reporters, Abramovich laughed and said: "So what if you are undefeated in the league? Don't lose the unimportant games that you can lose, but you have to lose the important games that you can't lose."
"I never believed there was an invincible team in this world."
"If there is, it's just because the time has not yet come."
"I spent a lot of money on Chelsea and they have lived up to my expectations. Our goal is to win the Champions League! I have full confidence in us."
"I believe that, let alone Arsenal, even if our opponent is Manchester City, who are undefeated in all competitions this season and are even more terrifying than Arsenal, we will be the ones who advance!"
"This is called the law of conservation of winning and losing!"
