April 6 and 7 are the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, with all three Premier League finalists involved, with Liverpool playing Benfica away from home making it easier, as it is difficult for this opponent to hinder Klopp's side. Manchester City sat at home to meet Atletico, Chelsea sat at the Blue Bridge in the early morning of the 7th to meet Real Madrid, and the other set of opponents was Bayern away to Villarreal. The three giants of the Premier League are fully prepared, and although Chelsea have unexpectedly lost to the weak team, the manager and captain have said that the team will prove themselves in the Champions League, and the players are ready.
Manchester City continues to be at the top of the table 2-0 burnley in this round of the Premier League, Liverpool are only temporarily at the top of the table for 2 hours, and Manchester City's recent performance is very solid, so it will be difficult for opponents such as Liverpool to make mistakes. Teams can accidentally lose points before and after the Champions League and international matches, but Both Manchester City and Liverpool have won the league smoothly and will strive to win the Next Champions League. City must win at home and then away, and it is better to score 2 goals so that there will be no danger in the second leg.
There are many internationals in Manchester City, so there are some worries about the game after the national team match, but this round of the team still won easily, because Manchester City led by 2 goals in the first half, the goals were de Bruyne and Kindogan, Sterling sent 2 assists, the little fast spirit outbreak is indeed a good thing, and then there will be more chances of winning against Atletico. Jesus made a threatening shot in the second half, but his shot hit the centre post and the Champions League could have a chance to start.
The core players who did not appear in this round of the league are Stones, Zinchenko, Mahrez, and the substitutes are Gernardo and Jesus, who are likely to start in the Champions League home games. Manchester City's top scorers this season are De Bruyne and Sterling and Mahrez, Sterling has two penalties, Mahrez has four penalties, in addition to Foden scored 7 goals, Kindogan scored 6 goals, and Manchester City's multi-point blossom at the offensive end is also the envy of all. The Champions League top scorers In the Premier League top scorers Salah scored the most goals, the Egyptian scored 8 goals, C Ronaldo and Mahrez both scored 6 goals, Jesus scored 4 goals, Sterling scored 3 goals, Bernardo and Canselo and Foden all scored 2 goals, the Champions League is also a multi-point blossom, which is also a problem for opponents' defense.
For Manchester City, the Champions League trophy is the biggest wish, so there is no room for error in the first leg against Atletico. Atletico Scored 4 goals for Griezmann, City players need to guard against the shooter, the other players scored 1 goal, and Manchester City dominated the offensive end. City's home record this season is 16 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and the points conceded are 0-0 for Sporting Portugal, 2-3 for Tottenham, 0-2 for Crystal Palace and 0-0 for Southampton. Atletico's away record is 11 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, and the number of losses is relatively large, but the team's last 4 away games, the state is warming. The away record into 2022 is 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and the home record after the start of the 2021 season is 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, during which there have been three consecutive away defeats, which is also the reason why the team ranks low in the league.
Currently in the Premier League table, Manchester City has won 23 wins, drawn 4 and lost 3 losses in 30 rounds, and currently has 73 points, ranking first in the table, 1 point more than Liverpool behind them. Atletico currently rank third in La Liga, 12 points less than Real Madrid at the top of the table, and the possibility of winning the title is not high, so the team will also fight for the Champions League, so the game against Manchester City will also be fierce. Atletico currently have 57 points in 30 league games, with 17 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats, scoring 57 goals and conceding 37. City scored 70 goals and conceded 18, beating at both ends of the line better than Atletico.
City scored in the 5th minute of burnley's match, Canselo gave Rodri the ball, the latter crossed the box to find Sterling, the latter directly passed the ball to assist De Bruyne to shoot the goal, the four tore open the line and scored the goal, and the team's intention to grab the start was also obvious. Rodri is also currently a key figure on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, making threatening shots in the game and using his abilities to create fouls. Burnley conceded a second goal after being besieged, this time when Sterling and De Bruyne teamed up to assist Gindogan's volley to extend the lead.
Foden and Glaris missed chances in the second half, but the team kept the game under control and it was good not to score again, as they could stay in the crucial Champions League game against Atletico. This game Gralis is more sluggish, the first half is basically out of the system, the second half to get a chance to shoot but not good, he is also a member of the disappointment of the fans, the next game may be substitute waiting for opportunities. Compared with the young players of the Premier League giants this season, Gralish is indeed inferior to Jota, who has grown fast and can continue to perform well.
Sterling is getting more and more in place by the end of the season, he is no longer a missed goalscorer, but also to help his teammates to build a role, which is also what Manchester City needs, his running position is in place, the speed is not weakened by age, these qualities are precious, and can play a key role in subsequent games. Guardiola's selection has always been in place, but Jesus and Glalis have some slow heat and instability, but they cannot deny their strength, and the subsequent games may indeed be threatening.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 7 matches, the two draws are 0-0 draws with Portugal Sport and Crystal Palace, and the sudden muting of the front players is also puzzling, but overall Manchester City has more sharp offensive ends. Atletico's last 8 games have won 7 wins and 1 draw, the only draw is the Champions League home 1-1 Manchester United, the team's away win over the Red Devils is also a small win of 1 goal, so this round against Manchester City is not optimistic about the big score, the home team has a higher chance of winning than the opponent.
