In this game, Liverpool's golden boy Owen played very well, he used his super-fast speed to threaten the Manchester City goal on several occasions, but Manchester City's starting Colombian central defender Córdoba was also very fast, and Owen did not score a single goal under his interference.
Ding Hongxing shone in this final, and his hat-trick helped Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0 and won the League Cup for the third time in four years.
In the post-match media coverage, Manchester City added another nickname - the Honor Predator, which is a very emotional title in Western culture, and Manchester City is worthy of this title.
In the four seasons after Ding Hongxing took charge of Manchester City, except for the FA Cup in the first season and the League Cup in the second season, Manchester City won all the championships they could have won, all the best of the month in the past two seasons were won by Manchester City, and the title of the league's top scorer and best player was also included by Ding Hongxing, in the selection of the best team, Manchester City players must at least exceed half of the number, and this season's league championship is about to fall into the hands of Manchester City, FA Cup and Champions League I believe it is only a matter of time, Such Manchester City, called a predator of honor, deservedly!
Of course, the title of honorary predator also means that Manchester City has become the public enemy of the entire Premier League team, and I believe that in the following games, every Premier League team will take it as their responsibility to defeat Manchester City.
On March 13, Manchester City played Middlesbrough away, a match in the 29th round of the league, which was originally a very ordinary game, but attracted tens of thousands of Manchester City players to watch the away game.
That's because, before this game, Manchester City were already 26 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United, and if Manchester City won this game and Manchester United did not win, Manchester City would have won the title nine games earlier, which is an unprecedented feat in the history of the Premier League, and who would not want to witness such a feat in the field?

Manchester City's game is going on smoothly, as long as Manchester City scores first, with Manchester City's super control, no team has been able to pull it back, and in the second half, Larsson and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored one goal each, Manchester City is already a four-0 lead.
Manchester United had been leading 1-0 until the Manchester City game entered stoppage time, when the Manchester City fans in the stands suddenly burst into a loud cheer, and it turned out that Leeds United equalised in the 90th minute with a goal from Jimmy Hasselbaink.
In the end, the two games ended in succession, with Manchester City beating Middlesbrough 4-0 away, while Manchester United drew 1-1 at home to young defenders Leeds United, so that after 29 rounds of league play, Manchester City are 28 points ahead of Manchester United, and with nine games remaining, Manchester City have already won the Premier League this season early.
