Just after 90 minutes of a vicious battle with Manchester United in the FA Cup, it finally relied on the explosion of the glorious small universe to reverse and eliminate Manchester United.

Immediately afterward, Manchester City will face the semi-finals of the League Cup.

The semi-finals of the league are different from before, no longer a winner-or-lose knockout match, but a two-legged home-and-away match.

In other words, even if Manchester City wins the first game, they may not be able to qualify for the final.

In the first leg, they faced Liverpool at home.

It's an opponent they've just beaten, but just beating them doesn't mean they can beat Liverpool again in the next game.

The fun of football is that every game you face different opponents, even if it's the same team, even the starting line-up doesn't change.

But the players are in different shapes and the game is going to be different.

Especially the difference between league and cup competitions.

Liverpool have missed out on European competition for two consecutive seasons, not only did they miss out on the Champions League, they also did not qualify for the Europa League.

Judging from the league this season, it will not be easy for them to qualify for the Champions League. If they can win the Carabao Cup to qualify for European competition, Liverpool will be willing.

So maybe they will lose 4-1 away to Manchester City in the league, but they may not continue to lose to Manchester City in this Carabao Cup.

If Manchester City still come to the game with the mentality of beating Liverpool 4-1 in the last game, I am afraid that they will lose.

I don't know if it was because they spent too much body and all the luck they had accumulated in the game against Manchester United, or if it was because the Manchester City players really didn't take the long-term defeat to Liverpool seriously.

In short, Manchester City lost 0-1 to Liverpool at their home stadium.

It was their first defeat in all competitions this season.

When the result came out, the media were shocked and couldn't believe what they had seen and heard - Manchester City would lose at home?!

This is their home turf!

Shouldn't Manchester City be invincible at their home turf?

Manchester City actually lost......

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Liverpool players ran and celebrated on the pitch.

They hugged each other and cheered in triumph.

It looked like they had won the Carabao Cup.

City's players, on the other hand, stood on the pitch in a daze, a little in disbelief at this reality.

"It's unbelievable...... Manchester City actually lost at home to Liverpool. John Mortenson exclaimed. City didn't play well in this game, they were never able to get into shape, the players looked tired, and even the trident was dumb. They also played badly in the first half against Manchester United, but they were able to come back in the second half. But this time, they couldn't do it for the whole game......"

"I'm afraid City's players have reached a limit...... 'Alan Hansen analysed. In the end, we can see that it's not that they don't want to fight, but that they can't fight at all. Their legs were like they were filled with lead, and they couldn't lift them at all......"

"Manchester City lost, I think it's going to be big news after the game!"

John Mortensen was right when he said that Manchester City's surprise defeat at home to Liverpool did cause a strong reaction after the game, and there was a big discussion on the Internet immediately.

Then the media quickly followed suit.

Many people felt that Liverpool's victory over Manchester City was significant and far-reaching.

Isn't this the beginning of City's collapse?

“…… Despite their best efforts to win Manchester United, the consequences of that game were already beginning to be felt. Manchester City have put themselves in the difficult position of fighting on multiple fronts. Actually, I think they should give up the FA Cup...... But it's not bad to give up the Carabao Cup now. The defeat at Liverpool was a signal that City's players could not win all the titles, that it was wise to give up and that failure did not mean shame. ”

'City's collapse may have already begun, and from the defeat to Liverpool, we can already see where this team is now......

"Playing on multiple fronts brings not only physical difficulties to the players, but also a huge psychological pressure. If I were Benitez, I would let the players drop a tournament so that they could focus on the really big game......"

……

Many people on the Internet gloated over Manchester City's loss, and they were already very unhappy with Manchester City, which had turned into a phoenix with the support of the Middle East plutocracy, and Manchester City's consecutive wins made their unhappiness climb to the top.

Now that there is a chance to see the wolves of Manchester City's defeat, they are as good as drinking cold Coke on dog days.

Many people have made predictions on the Internet that Manchester City will collapse and lose everything.

In the league, Manchester City were held to an away draw by Wigan Athletic.

It looks like they're really in a troublesome situation.

In this game, Manchester City almost lost again. Their unbeaten run in the league could end there......

Until the 86th minute, Manchester City still trailed Wigan Athletic by one goal. There was little he could do about it when Glory broke through the siege with the ball and suddenly passed the ball under the feet of a Wigan Athletic defender to Ibrahimovic, who had outflanked the goal.

Ibrahimovic made a very beautiful tackle that shoveled the ball straight into the back of the net.

In the end, with this goal, Manchester City drew 1-1 away from Wigan Athletic.

The City players were thrilled when the goal was scored, but when the game was over, they were frustrated. Because I couldn't win.

Ever since the Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool, everyone has been under a lot of pressure because the media, the fans, are singing about them and not looking down on them.

As a result, this league faced a team that was not very strong, and it was not able to win, which seems to confirm the opinion of those media.

Manchester City picked up a draw and Manchester United ended an embarrassing two-game losing streak in the league with a 3-0 win over Bolton Wanderers at their home stadium.

Manchester City drawn, Manchester United won, and the point difference between the two teams changed. Now it's 52 points for Manchester City and 48 for Manchester United, with the difference between the two teams being four points.

Although City have played one game less, it was not a decisive factor.

So there is hope for Manchester United.

In the next half of the season, as long as they give it their all and devote all their energy to the league, they can still threaten Manchester City's top position in the league.

The League Cup loss to Liverpool and the league draw away to Wigan Athletic also seem to indicate that Manchester City's crazy form is coming to an end.

In the league they have drawn two of their last three league games, which is not a good sign.

You must know that before that, they had only drawn two games in total in the eighteen rounds of the league.

In the eyes of many, perhaps what awaits Manchester City next is not a draw but a defeat. Their unbeaten streak in the league will also be ended!

This time, they relied on this glorious personal ability to avoid losing, but they can't always rely on the glorious personal flash, right?

In the 22nd round of the league, Manchester City hosted Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur had a very good run for a while, which led to a time when they moved to second place in the league.

However, their performance began to decline due to instability and over-reliance on Gareth Bale.

Tottenham Hotspur have now been overtaken by Manchester United in third place.

Of course, this ranking is quite good for Tottenham Hotspur. After all, their goal this season is to qualify for next season's Champions League.

The top four in the league qualify for it, and they finish third.

They have 46 points, while fourth-placed Chelsea are six points behind them.

It's relatively safe.

In this round of the league, Manchester United is away to Arsenal.

If Manchester City are to reopen the gap on Manchester United, this round is a good opportunity.

Of course, only if they win at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

And this season's Tottenham Hotspur is a headache for many teams.

Especially this time they also have a healthy, in-form Gareth Bale.

In the first leg of this season's meeting, Bale was confined to the stands due to injury.

This time he's going to screw the forces of the two races together and use them in this one.

Before the start of the game, he was murderous and said that he knew City were not in good form at the moment, but he would not be affected by that: "I play how I should play, whether they are in good form or not. We're here to take away a win, and whether they're in good form or not, the goal is the same. ”
