The Citizens had a very challenging match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s team kept pressing against Andriy Lunin’s goal throughout the entire game but couldn’t secure a win in regular or extra time. Instead, “Los Blancos” emerged victorious in the penalty shootout. It’s hard to imagine how much energy and emotion the team expended on Wednesday, with an equally emotional match in the FA Cup ahead. Last weekend, “City” won their match against Luton Town (5-1). Combined with the stumbles of their competitors, this victory propelled them to the top of the Premier League. Currently, Manchester City leads their closest rivals by two points and stands a good chance of clinching the title.
The Blues can only dream of contending for the championship, much like their aspirations for European competition. Despite spending a considerable amount to strengthen their squad, Chelsea essentially remains stagnant, showing no signs of improvement. In the league, “The Blues” sit in ninth place, trailing Tottenham by a whopping 13 points. However, their recent performances have shown noticeable improvement. For instance, in the league last weekend, they trounced Everton at home with a score of 6-0. This victory extended Chelsea’s unbeaten streak in the Premier League to eight matches (with 4 wins and 4 draws).
