The Premier League has become the most competitive of the five major leagues, and it is also the strongest overall league, which is the largest league in world football. In such a top league, the stability of the team is extremely important, especially in the final stages of the season, the team that competes for the championship can not afford to lose a point. Manchester City, who are still Premier League champions, once again showed their champions, stabilizing the situation at a critical time in the league, leading the table with 80 points in 33 Premier League games, and Liverpool in second place with 76 points in 32 games.
After three consecutive winless games in the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup in mid-April (2-2 Liverpool, 0-0 Atletico, 2-3 Liverpool), Manchester City quickly ushered in a big rebound, retaining the lead in the Premier League table and the absolute initiative to defend the Premier League title. In the last two rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United have won consecutive big games, first in the 30th round of the Premier League on April 21, 3-0 victory over Brighton as the judge of the four supers, refusing to create a miracle of three consecutive upsets, after they beat Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in a row.
City then beat Watford 5-1 in last night's Premier League round 34, thus achieving a 15-game winning streak against that brisket team, with the last win over Watford dating back to 2007, when it was 1-1 Watford. In this round, Manchester City's dominance was enough to suffocate Watford, who was 19th in the table, with 74% possession, 18 shots on goal, 8 shots on target and 5 goals; Watford only had 5 shots on goal, 2 shots on target and 1 goal.
Manchester City continued the heyday of the previous game, scoring in the opening 3 minutes, Zinchenko assisted Jesus to score; in the 22nd minute of the game, De Bruyne assisted Jesus' header and Manchester City led 2-0; in the 27th minute of the game, Kamara completed a low shot from a small angle, Watford 1-2 Manchester City; in the 33rd minute of the game, Rodri volleyed the world wave to break the goal, Manchester City led 3-1; in the 48th minute of the game, Jesus made a penalty and hit his own home penalty; the 52nd minute of the game, De Bruyne again assisted Jesus' goal, and Jesus completed the crazy big four to lead Manchester City to a 5-1 victory over Watford.
There is no doubt that Jesus is the MVP of this game, he has come up with near-perfect form, after a wild 4 goals, Jesus scored 11 goals and assisted 11 times in 35 games in all competitions this season, becoming Manchester City's sixth player to score in double figures this season, and also the sixth player for Manchester City to achieve a total of 20 goals + assists this season.
Manchester City's such a strong firepower group, although there is a clear shortcoming, that is, there is no super shooter, but the dominance and stability of non-giant teams are extremely strong, this season straight to 6 consecutive wins to defend the Premier League champions, the current 2 consecutive wins, the last 4 rounds of the Premier League opponents are Manchester City's defeaters, respectively Leeds United, Newcastle United, West Ham United, Aston Villa, the four teams lost to Manchester City in the first leg, it is difficult to stop Manchester City's 6 consecutive Premier League wins to defend the footsteps. For Manchester City, the next biggest test comes from the Champions League, with the semi-final against Real Madrid.
