For 38 rounds, the Mancunians were able to win 26 victories and ended three duels in peace. The team's attack showed itself brilliantly, hitting the gates of the opponents 102 times.

The best snipers of the team were Sterling (20 goals) and Aguero (16). The Sky Blue finished the Premier League tournament with two dry wins over Watford (4: 0) and Norwich (5: 0).

Sergio Aguero will not be able to take part in today's match, who has not yet coped with a knee injury.

Lyon

Lyon took second place in the group with Zenit, Benfica and RB Leipzig, with whom they have a chance to play in the final. For six matches of the first stage of the Champions League, the team showed good football and the will to win. The French club recorded two wins and draws each, which was enough to reach the spring stage.

At the 1/8 finals stage, the “weavers” got into rivals “Juventus”, which underestimated the strength of the “children”. In the first game, the Italians lost 0:1 and the victory in the return leg five months later with a score of 2:1 was in favor of Olympic.

The "aristocrats" ended the last football season in France with the final of the Cup of the country, where only in a penalty shootout they lost to PSG.

In today's match, the entrance to the field of Denaier, Cornet and Tete is in question.
