Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-0 at home after the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, while in the other semi-final, Schalke 04 also lost 2-0 to Barcelona at their home stadium, with Lionel Messi scoring twice.

Judging from the scores of these two games, there should be no suspense that Manchester City and Barcelona will finally reach the Champions League final.

As a result, the entire European media began to pay attention to the peak duel between Glory and Messi.

If the final of the Champions League is Manchester City and Barcelona meet at Wembley, there will be too much to watch.

First of all, of course, is the contest between Glory and Messi.

These two are the best players in football right now, and every battle between them is enough to take it by storm.

And because the two of them are in different leagues, it is not easy for them to meet in normal times, only in the Champions League.

Another highlight is that the final will be Barcelona's revenge match.

The two sides met in the Champions League last season, in the quarter-finals.

As a result, Manchester City knocked out the defending champions, Barcelona, in a situation that was not favored. And it's a two-legged home and away double. Beat Barcelona 3-1 at home and 2-0 away.

Barcelona's title defense was thus ended. Barcelona, who won the six crowns at that time, was called the "Dream Three Team" by the media, and they also had a nickname called "Cosmos Team", which is enough to prove their strength.

But it was such a team that aspired to defend the title that was eliminated by Manchester City led by glory......

So Barcelona want to seek revenge on Manchester City, and this final will be the best chance.

After the first leg, all the media was talking about the final between Manchester City and Barcelona, but Ferguson did not give up, announcing that United would give up at Old Trafford and create a miracle.

'It's not time to draw conclusions, three goals down is not the end of the world, Manchester United will fight until the last minute.'

It's just that Ferguson's statement was quickly drowned out in the big discussion about who is stronger Glory or Messi...... Not even a ripple stirred up......

On May 1, the final match of the 35th round of the league, Manchester City hosted West Ham United.

Ahead of this game, Manchester United, who had just lost in the Champions League semi-finals, lost 1-0 away to Arsenal in the league, and the gap between them and Manchester City was stretched to 11 points.

This means that as long as Manchester City beat West Ham United in this game, they will successfully defend their league title three rounds ahead of schedule!

Now all eyes are on Manchester City Stadium across England.

Will Manchester City fall before the finish line?

Will Lady Luck favor Manchester United?

Manchester City didn't let that happen, though.

Just ten minutes into the game, Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for City.

The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was not played, and Ibrahimovic watched from the sidelines.

Originally, he was worried that the team would not be able to enter the finals, but later it turned out that it was already considered to be in the finals in advance...... He was a little upset. Because this result has nothing to do with him.

So he took his anger out on his league opponents.

Poor West Ham United ......

Five minutes after Ibrahimovic's goal, City added to the scoresheet.

The person who scored this time is a glory!

"Honor! Rong-!! He doubled the score for City with a header! Now Manchester City lead West Ham United 2-0 at home! There is no suspense in the game! Manchester City will win their second Premier League title in their club's history! and a fourth English top-flight title! They successfully defended their title! ”

John Mortenson shouted with his arms waving.

Manchester City Stadium has been transformed into a sea of joy.

Although it was only fifteen minutes into the game, no one thought West Ham would be able to turn the tables around.

"This Manchester City team is simply unstoppable...... "Alan Hansen also sighed." I think Manchester City should really focus more on the Champions League, where they are no match in the Premier League. But if they can only dominate the Premier League and fail to achieve results in the Champions League, it will be difficult for them to get rid of the image of 'nouveau riche'......"

After Glory's goal, City were firmly in control.

West Ham United didn't get much of a chance.

In the following games, although Manchester City did not score again, the score did not change.

From the 65th minute, Manchester City fans were already in the stands eager to start celebrating.

Celebrate the victory, celebrate their league title.

In the second half, Benitez also made frequent substitutions to allow more players to get the opportunity to play.

So the three substitutions, he gave them all to those players who don't usually play a lot.

He didn't let the main players who were rotated for this game come on to find form, and he doesn't need to do anything to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final now.

Finally, when the referee blew three whistles to announce the end of the game, Manchester City's substitutes, who had been on the sidelines, rushed onto the pitch, and Manchester City fans jumped up in the stands to cheer the victory.

"It's over! Manchester City beat West Ham United 2-0 at home! They successfully defended their title! And it's their fifty-second league unbeaten run! Manchester City's form is really hot......"

After Manchester City won their first league title in 42 years last season, the excitement of Manchester City fans rushed straight into the stadium and then stripped many of the players' shirts, and the glory was not spared.

And this time, Manchester City fans are much more sensible.

At the very least, they just stood in the stands and cheered, and did not rush off the pitch to strip the players of their shirts again.

After a league title, they are happy to win the league again, but it can't make them lose their minds with excitement.

Manchester City's fans are gradually evolving from hillbillies who have never seen anything in the world to those who are used to seeing strong winds and waves.

Perhaps only the Champions League winner can make them lose their minds again......

In his post-match press conference, Rafael Benitez thanked the team, saying that the league title belongs to everyone, and that there is no distinction between the main and the substitute.

At the same time, he also said that after winning the league championship, the team's performance will not be relaxed.

'We still have the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals to play. And we're going to try to finish the season unbeaten. ”

The first sentence was just a polite remark from Benitez.

And the second sentence really caught everyone's attention.

Because the previous season of unbeaten was only heard from Leighton Barnes, no one else had ever said it. So much so that some suspect that this is nonsense after Layton Barnes was overly excited.

But now, they've heard firsthand from Benitez admit that one of City's goals is to go unbeaten this season!

The head coach of the team made such a statement, which shows that this is indeed the goal of the whole team, not Layton Barnes's overly excited nonsense.

However, there are still three rounds left in the league, and Manchester City's opponents in these three rounds are Everton in the 36th round, Stoke City at home in the 37th round, and Bolton Wanderers in the 38th round.

With the exception of one Everton, neither other team could pose much of a threat to Manchester City......

Now it seems that Manchester City's unbeaten season hopes are very high.

After breaking Arsenal's unbeaten run in the league, Manchester City also have to share Arsenal's unbeaten title streak of the season.

The North London Clarion and George Allen must be upset right now......

After the match against West Ham United, Manchester City have already won the league title ahead of schedule.

But that will soon be a thing of the past, and the focus will not be on the league title.

City's entire focus has now shifted to the Champions League – not the Champions League semi-finals, but the Champions League final.

For the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester United, everyone felt that Manchester City was unlikely to be reversed by Manchester United.

They have a three-goal lead on aggregate.

Just to say this game, Ibrahimovic will end his red card ban and return to Manchester City's starting line-up.

When the time comes, the competition between him and Rong Guang after the start will be enough to give Manchester United's backline a headache......

The vast majority of people felt that the suspense of the game was lost before the game even started.

Manchester City will definitely qualify for the final.

In fact, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek, the away side did not let up because they already had a three-goal lead, with Rafael Benitez still fielding their strongest squad and the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic giving City a stronger attack.

After the start of the game, although United fought very hard and took the lead at one point.

However, before the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic, who was suspended for two games with a red card, equalised for Manchester City with a long-range shot from 38 yards out.

Ibrahimovic looked so excited after the goal that he even took off his shirt, and the celebration earned him a yellow card.

This action also worried Benitez, for fear that Ibrahimovic, who was carrying a yellow card, would be hot-headed and make some out-of-the-ordinary moves, so that he received another yellow card and was sent off......

So at half-time, Benitez gave Ibrahimovic a reminder.

"Do you still want to play in the Champions League final, Geratan?" Benitez just said a simple sentence to make Ibrahimovic honest.

The Swede also didn't want to be sent off with a red card and miss the final after he had been released from the ban...... Then you will be a failure this season!

"Don't worry, boss, I will never miss the final!" He said confidently. I580
