April 2, the 33rd round of the Premier League.

Following a 9-0 thrashing of Wigan Athletic in the previous round, Manchester City travel to Burnley after a week's rest.

At Turf Moore Stadium, Manchester City dominated the initiative from the start, and Gao Han used skill cards to launch a scramble.

Xavi Alonso took a corner, the Burnley defender couldn't clear the spot, Kaka crossed into the box again, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal of the game with his right foot, 1-0.

Just a minute later, City snatched the ball and launched a counter-attack, Sanchez forced a break down the right and passed into the box, and Benzema easily slotted home from the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.

In the seventh minute, it was Kaka who received a return pass from Sanchez on the right side and got rid of the defender's diagonal pass to the left, Cristiano Ronaldo followed up with the volley, but was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, Sanchez easily picked up the missed push and scored, 3-0.

In just seven minutes, Manchester City unleashed a ferocious attack, scoring three goals in a row, leaving Burnley powerless to resist.

After taking a three-goal lead, City's offensive slowed down, but they still firmly controlled the initiative of the game on the field.

In the twentieth minute, City were awarded an indirect set-piece in front.

Modric sent a quick release and launched an attack from the left, Cristiano Ronaldo hit the left side of the penalty area, but was tightly defended by the opponent and had to pass the ball back, David Silva crossed diagonally to the middle, Kaka started, caught up with the ball in the penalty area, and easily pushed the goal, 4-0.

But in the 45th minute, City's attack threatened again, David Silva cut through the edge of the box to tear through Burnley's defence, and Cristiano Ronaldo calmly volleyed home to make it 5-0.

Five goals in the first half boosted the morale of Manchester City.

After the rematch in the second half, Manchester City played more patiently and calmly, and it was not until the 58th minute that a corner kick opportunity was scored by Vincent Kompany's header to extend the score to 6-0.

In the 71st minute, substitute Michael Johnson kicked straight through, and Sturridge, who also came on as a substitute, crossed the middle, and Benzema made it overnight to lock the score at 7-0.

In the end, Manchester City beat Burnley by seven goals at Turf Moore Stadium.

After two rounds in a row and a frantic attack of sixteen goals, Manchester City's performance surprised everyone.

Not only the Premier League, but the whole of European football shook it.

Especially in the last two rounds of the league, the outstanding performance of the four attacking players in Manchester City's front court has made all opponents frightened, these four superstars are not only excellent in their individual ability, but also more and more tacit cooperation, simply playing with the opponent's defensive players in applause, how can it not be frightening?

On the afternoon of April 10, the third-party neutral stadium.

In the semi-finals of the FA Cup, Portsmouth, who had been relegated from the Premier League ahead of schedule, welcomed Manchester City.

The head coach of Pompeii is former Mourinho's assistant Grant.

Inspired by Wigan Athletic and Portsmouth, Grant fielded a back six in this game to face a sidelined Manchester City in a 54-4 formation.

Although it is a relegated team, there are many famous players in the team, such as right-back Finnan, who won the Champions League for Liverpool, the famous striker Kanu, and midfielder Kevin Boateng, who has performed well this season and has attracted the attention of many teams.

The team was not weak, but it was affected by the team's relegation, morale was a little low, from the beginning of the game could not block Manchester City's possession, after 28 minutes of struggle, the goal was lost, and it was striker Sturridge who scored for Manchester City first.

City then continued to control the game and added another goal in the 42nd minute, this time by David Silva and an assist from Luka Modric.

After the restart-up in the second half, Manchester City scored twice in the 69th and 81st minutes through Luka Modric and Xavi Alonso to beat Portsmouth 4-1.

It was the striker Kanu who came off the bench to score for Pompeii.

Chelsea's game against Tottenham Hotspur was a tough one compared to Manchester City's uneventful away win over Portsmouth, with the two sides going to extra-time after a 0-0 draw over the course of 90 minutes.

In the end, Chelsea made it to the final thanks to two goals from Falcao and Ramirez to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.

But after the game, Scolari's use of troops was questioned again.

When the team has been unable to attack for a long time, why not arrange for Falcao to play, or even start?

As it turned out, Chelsea turned the tide in successive games only after Falcao's appearance, and this one beat Tottenham Hotspur thanks to Falcao's pass and shot.

But this has further intensified Chelsea's internal rivalry, as well as the pressure on Scolari to take charge.

In particular, the FA Cup final against the cold Manchester City has undoubtedly put Chelsea in a worrying position.

While Gao Han and Manchester City were competing in the FA Cup and Premier League, the Champions League quarter-finals also ended with two legs.

Unfortunately, the Premier League was wiped out.

Manchester United met their former club Bayern Munich, and the two Champions League runners-up teams from last season were also full of highlights, resulting in a 1-2 defeat at the Allianz Arena in the first leg.

But back at Old Trafford, the Reds played a very smooth first half, with Jurgen Klinsmann's starting tactics completely restrained by Alex Ferguson, and the Red Devils took a 3-0 lead thanks to Nani's brace, and it was not until just before the end that Thomas Muller's goal saved Bayern Munich's hopes.

After the rematch in the second half, Manchester United defender Rafael received a second yellow card and was sent off.

At the crucial moment, the superstar played a role, and Ribery assisted Robben to score a world wave, helping Bayern Munich beat Manchester United and successfully entered the semi-finals with the advantage of away goals.

If Manchester United can still compete with Bayern Munich, then Arsenal is completely inferior to Barcelona and is powerless to resist.

In the first leg of the match between the two sides, if it were not for Puyol's red card, Barcelona would probably have walked away, but even with the help of the red card, the Gunners only drew Barcelona 2-2 at home, and Ibrahimovic scored a brace.

However, in the second leg at the Camp Nou, although Bendtner scored first, Messi staged a quadruple to help Barcelona reverse Arsenal 4-1, and finally eliminated the Gunners with an aggregate score of 6-3.

The two remaining Premier League giants have lost to the quarter-finals, which has dealt a big blow to the Premier League, and the halo of the world's number one league has been questioned, and all fans and Premier League players have reflected on the league's problems.

Gao Han also further mentioned this problem in the column of the Guardian, believing that the failures of Manchester United and Arsenal are due to their own lack of strength, and they do not have the strength to challenge the top European teams for the time being, but the difference is that Ferguson can rely on his excellent technical and tactical skills to make up for the lack of strength of Manchester United and close the gap with Bayern Munich.

Everyone understood what Gao Han meant.

In fact, the first leg of Manchester United can be described as a complete defeat, but in the second leg, if it were not for Ferguson's complete suppression of Klinsmann in the first half and a complete victory in terms of technique and tactics, Manchester United would not have had any chance of winning at all.

You must know that in these two games, Bayern Munich's possession rate exceeded 60%, and the advantage on the field was still obvious, as for the game between Arsenal and Barcelona, the disadvantage in possession was even more obvious.

Therefore, Gao Han mentioned in his column that Premier League teams must further move closer to the continental style, improve the team's technical and tactical level, and make up for the gap in strength with other European league teams as soon as possible.

Everyone understands what Gao Han means, the biggest advantage of the Premier League over other leagues is the financial revenue, which makes even a relegated team like Portsmouth able to attract a group of good players, such as Kevin Boateng, not to mention the middle of the Premier League, and even the upper reaches of the team.

For Gao Han's words, not only the Premier League, but also the whole of Europe are extremely recognized, the reason is very simple, he is Gao Han!

After the semi-finals of this season's Champions League were released, Gao Han's prestige was once again raised, because three of the four teams were led by Gao Han, including Simeone's Atletico Madrid, Klinsmann's Bayern Munich, Prandelli's Inter Milan, and the last one, which is also the favorite to win the championship, is the Barcelona led by Pep Guardiola, a recognized protégé of Gao Han.

The semi-finals of the four teams with the most Alpine characteristics and inherited the mantle of Alpine were regarded by the whole world as a great victory for Alpine football, and whoever had the last laugh in the end represented the victory of Alpine.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid defeated Jurgen Klinsmann's Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, and finally the two giants of La Liga gathered in the Champions League final, staging a brother-in-law duel between the Alpine disciples, Pep Guardiola and Simeone.

While the Champions League semi-finals were in full swing, the last five rounds of the Premier League were also concluded according to the schedule.

In these five league games, Manchester City beat Birmingham City 5-1 at home, Manchester United 1-0 at home, Arsenal 2-0 away, Aston Villa 3-1 at home and West Ham United 4-0 away.

So far, Manchester City has won the Premier League title from 2009 to 2010 with an astonishing record of 38 rounds, not only that, Manchester City has broken the record for goals in the history of the Premier League, and Cristiano Ronaldo has also scored 48 goals, becoming the most goalscorer in a single season in the history of the Premier League.

What shocked everyone even more was that Benzema and Alexis Sanchez both scored more than 20 goals, and Kaka, although he did not officially return until December, still won the title of the Premier League's assist king, and his goal tally also reached 16, ranking behind teenager Sturridge as the team's fifth leading scorer.

The whole European football world is cheering for Manchester City's fantastic performance this season, but everyone is also looking forward to next season's Champions League and wondering if Manchester City can continue this season's glory and continue the myth of alpine.

But within City, Gao Han and all the players turned their attention to the FA Cup final.
