What made the British media even more excited came on Thursday night. In a Europa League semi-final match, Blue Moon Manchester City played at home against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga.

Because this season is destined to fail in the domestic arena, Manchester City will devote more energy to the Europa League. In any case, if you can win the Europa League, it is also a European champion.

Blue Moon cast all their anger on Athletic Bilbao for their early exit in the league competition, and beat the Basque team 4-0 at home, almost ending the suspense of this two-round knockout round.

And the result of this game is also Manchester City's declaration to the world: their complete failure in the domestic competition is not because they are not strong enough, but because their opponents are too strong!

After all, a team that has achieved 23 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in 34 league games, scoring 80 goals and conceding 28 goals, cannot be said to have performed poorly.

With an average scoring rate of 2.18 points per game, they can get 82.7 points in the whole season, which is enough for them to win the league championship in 5 to 6 of the 17 Premier League seasons with 38 rounds!

With an average scoring rate of 2.35 goals per game, the number of goals scored in the whole season can basically reach 89.4 goals, which is enough to exceed the final number of goals scored by 16 championship teams in the 20 seasons of the Premier League!

Manchester City is really sad enough in England this season. In the league, they played the best record in the history of the same period, but they couldn't help but beat the mediocre Manchester United.

After all, facing a perverted team that scored 30 wins, 1 win and 1 loss in 32 games, and scored 120 goals but only conceded 20 goals, everyone would feel powerless.

In the FA Cup, they even met Manchester United in their first show, and they were out again without any suspense.

In the Carabao Cup, they were in a critical period of competing with Manchester United for the league title, which prevented them from going all out in the semi-final against Liverpool, and then lost the two rounds, which eventually led to their comprehensive domestic competition. fail.

Manchester City's record makes the British media even hope that the Premier League team will win both the Champions League and the Europa League. After all, according to the current situation, the Champions League final is likely to be staged in the Premier League civil war, and the championship is almost won. With the strength of Manchester City, whether it is Atletico Madrid or Valencia, it is difficult to become their opponents.

If Manchester City can really have the last laugh in the siege of the three La Liga teams, it will really save face for the Premier League!

………………

At a time when the British media collectively fell into a climax,

The Premier League ushered in the 35th round of the game very low-key. Manchester United played at home against Toffee Everton led by Ferguson's Scottish fellow Moyes.

Under the leadership of Moyes, Everton has always been the backbone of the Premier League. In the 33 Premier League games that have been played this season, Moyes' team has achieved 13 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses, scored 47 points, ranked 7th in the Premier League, and crushed rivals Liverpool in the same city.

However, it is very difficult for Everton to enter the European competition, because they are far behind Chelsea, which is ranked 6th. And this season's League Cup was won by Liverpool. If the season ends with the current ranking, Everton will definitely have no hope of entering the European competition.

Therefore, this game can be said to be a game between two teams with no desires and no desires.

Because the UEFA Champions League battle with Bayern will be ushered in three days later, Ferguson will undoubtedly continue to carry out a comprehensive rotation of Manchester United.

As a result, Manchester United, who played with most of the bench lineup, played a hearty offensive battle at Old Trafford and Everton. Rooney and Nani, who performed sluggishly in Munich four days ago, both exploded in this game and may score twice, while Nani contributed 1 shot and 2 passes.

In the 41st minute, Nani passed the ball from the left, and former Manchester United player Phil Neville went over the top. Rooney scored a header from the edge of the small penalty area to equalize the score. This is Rooney's 25th league goal this season.

In the 57th minute, when Valencia made a breakthrough from the right wing, Pinar was injured and fell to the ground. Manchester United continued to attack. Everton's defense made consecutive mistakes. Volley scored his ninth goal of the season to help Manchester United reverse the lead 2:1.

In the 60th minute, Manchester United played a wonderful small team cooperation. Welbeck passed Nani in the penalty area. Nani formed a single-handed shot against Howard with his right foot and rewritten the score to 3:1.

In the 66th minute, Hibbert made a cross from the right, and Fellaini shot with his right foot from 10 meters to get back a point.

In the 69th minute, Welbeck made a low pass through the crotch from the right side of the penalty area. Rooney scored twice with a low right foot shot from the left corner of the goal near the penalty spot. While helping the team expand the score advantage to two goals, they also scored Scored the 180th goal after wearing the Manchester United jersey, and then surpassed Best and Violet to become the fourth-most goalscorer in club history.

However, after 80 minutes of the game, Everton played consecutive high-quality offenses, scored two goals in a row, and rewritten the score to 4:4.

This is also the final score of the game.

After Manchester United won the league championship, with the transfer of energy, they avoided falling into a slump in the league. Two rounds of 1 draw and 1 loss allowed Manchester City, which had won 3 consecutive victories, to narrow the gap between the two teams to 15 points.

However, Manchester United didn't pay much attention to this. Anyway, they have already won the championship. What's the difference between playing well and playing badly? Can't deprive Manchester United of the championship?

However, there is one person in the Manchester United team who is very dissatisfied with this situation, and that is Bell. Because he could not play in the league in a row, he faced a situation where two missions might fail.

Bell felt that he needed to find some time to have a good chat with the old man. Even if the league wins, this sluggish situation should not continue. It is likely to cause Manchester United's poor fighting spirit and state.

………………

Although Bell had the idea of ​​having a good chat with Ferguson, it was obviously not the right opportunity right now, because their top priority was to beat Bayern at home and break into this year's Champions League final.

Bayern came to Manchester early, because they were going to Spain to play in the Europa League, so Manchester City simply lent their training base to Bayern.

At this time, Blue Moon didn't realize at all that what they did was the awareness of the enemy. Being able to make friends with super giants like Bayern Munich is very effective in increasing their influence in European football. At the same time, it can also cause trouble for the rivals Manchester United in the same city, which can serve multiple purposes.

As for England's UEFA ranking and European qualifications, what does it have to do with them? With their current strength, the Champions League seats are as stable as dogs, so there is no need to worry. As long as it doesn't affect him, who cares about the flood outside?

What's more, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Premier League's UEFA ranking points have a very obvious advantage over La Liga. Even if Manchester United is out, it will not affect the Premier League's UEFA ranking for the time being.

………………

The day before the second leg between Manchester United and Bayern started, another Champions League semi-final took the lead in the Nou Camp.

Before the start of this much-anticipated game, the magnificent Camp Nou stadium was full of seats, and the excited Barcelona fans waved red and blue scarves representing the colors of Barcelona and kept singing.

Obviously, every fan who comes here firmly believes that when they return to the home court, they only know that Chelsea, which is stubborn and ugly, will not be able to escape from Barcelona, ​​and the home team will definitely be able to reach the final smoothly.

When the Turkish referee blew the opening whistle, it seemed that everything was moving in the direction Barcelona expected. Messi and Iniesta have easily entered the penalty area and threatened the gate guarded by Petr Cech. In 12 minutes, Chelsea's main defender Cahill left early because of a muscle strain. 30 minutes before the game, Chelsea was in a completely passive situation, unable to parry at all. In 35 minutes, Barcelona scored a goal from Busquets with a series of dazzling passes. The total score of the two sides became 1:1, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.

What made the Barcelona fans even happier was that after 2 minutes, Chelsea captain Terry hit Sanchez with his knee without the ball. As a result, this stupid behavior did not escape the eyes of the lines referee and the referee. Show no mercy to Terry and send him off.

In less than 40 minutes, the main defender was injured and retired, the team fell behind, and the captain was sent off again. The Blues fans in the corner of the stands were almost ashamed at this time, and Di Matteo on the sidelines also had a serious face.

Obviously, if the normal situation develops, Chelsea will only be at the mercy of others.

In the 43rd minute, Iniesta extended the lead and Barcelona scored 2:1 on aggregate. This goal almost put the "coffin lid" on Chelsea, and the sentence of death penalty has come to the fore.

………………

Just when everyone was almost desperate, a simple and effective pass between Lampard and Ramirez broke through the gate guarded by Valdes. 1:2, the total score is 2:2. Chelsea, who had already fallen into the abyss of hell, suddenly grabbed a branch at this time, and his already cold heart began to beat again.

The sudden change did not actually change Chelsea's situation. The fact that there is one less player cannot be changed, and Barcelona's strength and control are becoming more and more obvious.

After the half-time break, as soon as the second half started, Chelsea, which was already scarred, was hit hard again.

In the 48th minute of the game, Drogba tripped Cesc Fabregas in the penalty area, and the referee whistled a penalty kick.

Although his penalty kick has always been criticized by the world, Messi still stood at the 12 yard point without hesitation. At such a critical moment, as the core of the team, there is no choice.

If he doesn't even have the courage to stand on the penalty spot, he will never have the courage to compete with Bell and Ronaldo for the best player in the world!

If Messi scores a goal and the total score becomes 3:2, it will be almost impossible to score again in Chelsea's situation.

Fortunately, however, Messi's penalty hit the crossbar and popped.

Messi fell again at the 12 yard point!
