Chapter 840: Seven to Zero! Manchester City eliminated Schalke 04 and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League
Li Chuanqi did not expect that he would become the biggest news in the Premier League in this form.
Is it because there are no goals?
But Manchester City won.
Raheem Sterling looked at him with envy: "No goal can be the biggest news in the Premier League? ”
De Bruyne shook his head and said: "When I can be the biggest news in the Premier League without an assist, I will be content......
Sergio Aguero jokingly said: "Unless Lee leaves Manchester City and leaves the Premier League!" ”
De Bruyne shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't want to be the biggest news in the Premier League. ”
The teammates burst out laughing.
Manchester City's biggest rivals in the Premier League, Liverpool, drew again this round after they were held to a 0-0 draw away from Everton.

This is the rhythm of winning the championship early!
As for winning the title a few rounds earlier, the Manchester City players put up their fingers and began to count.
The media believe that Liverpool's draw with Everton is due to their need to stay in the second leg of the upcoming Champions League knockout tie, with Liverpool drawing 0-0 at home to the Bundesliga giants in the first leg.
