In the absence of knowing what will happen in Wembley's final against Crystal Palace (FA Cup, on May 17), The Manchester City season also goes through classifying the next Champions League. And, for the moment, they are fulfilling. They won the Wolves (1-0) to add four consecutive wins in Premier and not lose from March 8. Thanks to a bit of De Bruynein his penultimate game in the Etihad, they are third … and already rains less in Mercuneter.
The atmosphere in the Etihad was 'raruno'. First, by Playing the game on Friday: from the 'Boxing Day' of 2008 the City did not play that day. In addition, the field was half empty until minute 6 for the protests of the local fans in the face of the tickets. Haaland, while, was already on the bench and Cunha pointed to the offensive leader of some Wolves in Raz (six consecutive victories) for the decline of Strand Larsen.
And although the City had the first occasions and also the domain of the ball, The first real danger occasion was for the Wolverhampton in a very clear counterattack. Bellegare was more generous than he owed and Munetsi did not pushed her a goal for little. Moments later, Aït Nouri had a double clamorous occasion: a shot to the stick and a rejection that took under Gavardiol sticks. It was a miracle that the game was not 0-1.
Bruyne scores for 1-0.
But the City can not be too forgiven either. Doku starred in a great play, a good attendance and Bruyne made the first goal of the game in his penultimate in the Etihad. He wants to leave (to the United States?) Leaving the team of his life in Champions League.
The Wolverhampton, however, did not lose your face to the encounter. And Cunha started the second part looking for his 16th goal of the season. The stick prevented it. There the encounter died. The City injected chloroform, and neither had occasions nor granted. Nothing happened in the Etihad beyond seeing Haaland warm up again in the band … although he had no minutes.
Winning was too important for City. The prize? Assault third place and see the achievement of the ticket to the next Champions.
