After the game against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City welcomed Lyon at home.

Because in the first leg of the two sides, Manchester City defeated Lyon 20 away, so many people think that there is basically no suspense in the second leg of the game.

But this is not the case.

After the game started, Manchester City played at home and did not play very well.

They seemed to underestimate the enemy too much, and they would have been in the game for obviously longer than Lyon.

However, Lyon, who was fighting against the slums, completely put down his psychological burden and went all out to cause some trouble for Manchester City on the away game.

Until the end of the first half, Manchester City, who played at home, was unable to score, and the score was 00

Although this score can be qualified in Manchester City's group, if you can't win the game at home, you will still be a little embarrassed.

During the break, Benitez criticized Manchester City's players without mercy.

After the second half of the game started, Manchester City finally returned to some normal levels.

But it is still difficult to get into the game so quickly, let alone Lyon's form has been played.

The two sides are hard to distinguish.

Sometimes it looks like Lyon has an advantage, and sometimes it looks like Manchester City will score goals immediately.

Both Manchester City and Lyon fans are worried.

The person who ends all this is still glory.

But he didn't end with a goal, but assists.

After a breakthrough from the ball, he passed the ball across the goal. Berbatov, who followed up in the middle, easily swept the ball into the goal. Manchester City finally broke the deadlock at home.

Manchester City B0 leads Lyon in the total score.

This goal can announce the end of all suspense. Lyon cannot score three goals in the remaining twenty minutes, and at the same time, he will not allow Manchester City to continue scoring.

Before this, Lyon was like a balloon full of air, while Berbatov's goal pierced the balloon, and with a sneer, the air ran away instantly, and Lyon immediately became depressed.

After the game started again, they could no longer find their previous energy and their condition was no longer the same.

As for Manchester City, for longer-term considerations, Benitez has also begun to make frequent substitutions, filling the team's game rhythm.

After all, there is a league next, and the competition with Chelsea is crucial. There is no need to invest too much energy in the game that has already won. What if the player is injured?

Benitez replaced Sneider, replaced Berbatov, and David Silva. The attack lineup of the frontcourt started left a glory.

One glory is enough, enough to deter Lyons, so that they dare not suppress the attack.

The final score of this game was frozen at 0. This game was calm after Manchester City scored, and everyone was not surprised by the result.

No matter what happened before the goal, at least this result was quite consistent with everyone's predictions before the game.

Manchester City eliminated Lyon without paying too much.

In this way, Manchester City made historic breakthrough into the Champions League quarterfinals.

This is their best performance in the history of the Champions League.

After the final whistle sounded, deafening cheers rang over Manchester City Stadium.

These are all sent by Manchester City fans.

Champions League quarterfinals

It really makes people feel like they are dreaming that such a thing happened to the team they support.

They feel that no matter who appears before them now, they are fearless.

This Manchester City has the ability to beat any team in the world

※※※

Although at the end of the game, Manchester City fans were full of confidence and even a little inflated.

But after one night, most people calmed down.

They began to care about who Manchester City will meet in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Of course, they hope to draw a team that is not very strong like the draw of the quarterfinals, so that they can enter the quarterfinals and further write their records.

They can't know the result yet, because all the Champions League quarterfinals will have to wait for another week.

The quarter-final draw will be held in the quarter-final draw at the end of all Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of next week.

In the weekend's league, Manchester City beat Sunderland 2l away and Chelsea beat West Ham United 4l at home.

They still lead Chelsea for four points.

And Chelsea was not thrown away, and continued to bite Manchester City, waiting for the time to collapse.

In the Champions League, Manchester City has already entered the quarterfinals. When Manchester City fans were excited about this, Chelsea also saw their hope of winning the championship. Entering the quarterfinals is definitely not good news for Manchester City. When it comes to this part in the Champions League, Manchester City will definitely not give up easily. They will definitely do their best in the Champions League, which will also affect Manchester City's performance in the league.

Also in the Champions League, Chelsea lost 2 away to Inter Milan in the first leg of the quarterfinals, but this does not mean that Chelsea will be eliminated in the Champions League, and they will also have a chance to advance to the next round. After all, Chelsea only lost one goal in the total score, and Chelsea still scored one away goal.

But Chelsea believes that they have much more experience in dealing with two-front battles than Manchester City.

As early as 204, six years ago, during the coaching period of Ranieri, Chelsea had already reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. They knew very well how to fight on both sides at this time.

However, just three days later, Chelsea lost to Inter Milan, coached by Mourinho, at his home court, with a score of 0.

If both sides set up buses, Ancelotti did not beat Mourinho.

Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League.

The Champions League was eliminated, which naturally made Abramovich a little unhappy. He had already tasted it when Mourinho coached Chelsea because of the league championship. However, the Champions League championship has always been his dream goal.

Starting from Agnelli, the Champions League semi-finals failed to meet Abramovich.

Later, Grant took over Chelsea, who was left by Mourinho, and reached the Champions League final without being favored. However, the final failure made Grant unable to successfully stay under Abramovich.

This shows how deep Abramovich's desire for a Champions League championship is.

There is a saying that has a profound impact on him, that is, if a team has not won the Champions League championship, it is not considered a giant, even if he has won many national league championships, it is not counted.

Abramovich doesn't want his team to be always looked down upon and called it "nova" contemptuously. So winning a Champions League championship to justify himself has become Abramovich's most urgent wish.

But this time, Chelsea actually lost in the Champions League quarterfinals... and it was lost to Mourinho, who was swept out by him before, which would definitely make Abramovich have an objection to Ancelotti.

But for Chelsea today, it may be a good thing to be eliminated from the Champions League.

Because they can concentrate on dealing with Manchester City and compete with Manchester City for the league championship.

However, Manchester City still has to fight on both sides. At that time, Chelsea is waiting for it to work hard, and it is not a dream to drag down Manchester City.

On the day Chelsea was eliminated, all the quarterfinals ended, and all eight teams that advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals were released.

They are Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Bordeaux, Porto, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow.

Two of the eight teams are from the Premier League, which is the league with the largest number of teams, which shows that the Premier League is still the best league in Europe.

The remaining teams each represent a league, Bayern Munich represents the Bundesliga, Bordeaux represents the Ligue 1, Porto represents the Portuguese Super League, Barcelona represents La Liga, Inter Milan represents Serie A, and Moscow's CSKA represents the Russian Super League.

That night, a draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals was held at UEFA's headquarters.

This draw ceremony is not as grand as the group stage and the eighth finals draw, but it still attracts much attention.

Because the Champions League plays this way, almost every game will be a strong conversation.

The first team to be drawn was Manchester United, who were drawn with Bayern Munich.

This is a strong showdown.

The most famous grudges between Manchester United and Bayern Munich is naturally the Camp Nou in 1999. Bayern Munich led by 90 minutes and allowed Manchester United to score two goals in injury time, eventually losing the Champions League championship twice, which also made it the most famous reversal in Champions League history.

The next Porto and Bordeaux were divided into two wave battles.

Four of the eight teams were drawn out, leaving Manchester City, Inter Milan, Barcelona and CSKA Moscow.

Manchester City fans watching the draw live broadcast in front of the TV were very nervous. The opponent they most hoped to meet in the quarterfinals was CSKA Moscow, which is the weakest in the quarterfinals.

If they can be separated, Manchester City can almost enter the semi-finals in advance.

But the chance of drawing Moscow CSKA is one-third, not very high, and the chance of drawing with two-thirds is not good news for Manchester City, whether it is drawing Inter Milan or Barcelona.

Manchester City fans also know that now they are competing for the league championship with Chelsea, so the weaker the opponent in the Champions League, the better, and they must fight hard without both sides.

The lottery ceremony continued while Manchester City fans prayed to God.

Their names were reported.

"Ah, Manchester City is now drawing Manchester City. They will play at home first - first and then away. This is not a good schedule..." said John Motterson, the host in charge of the live broadcast.

Manchester City has been drawn out, and it is time to draw Manchester City's opponent next.

Manchester City fans in front of the TV held their breath.

Their eyes stared at the hands of the lottery guest, watching his hands fiddling with the table tennis balls in the transparent box.

Then his hand stopped, grabbed a ping-pong ball, and began to lift the ball out of the box.

He began to lower his head to remove the ball, and took out a folded piece of paper from it.

He looked at it, then expanded, facing the camera lens, and at the same time he said, "Barcelona."
