As the most competitive professional football event in today's football, the Premier League attracts the attention of fans all over the world every season with its huge championship suspense. Serie A and Ligue 1 champions have been very clear, the Premier League is still in the triwizard pattern, in the just concluded 30th round of the Premier League, the defending champion Manchester City and Gunners Arsenal, at the Etihad Stadium for 90 minutes to shake hands, so that Liverpool became the biggest winner, with the home reversal of Brighton's performance, Klopp led the team to the top of the Premier League standings, respectively ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City 2 points and 3 points, in the Premier League with nine league games left, the initiative to win the championship in their own hands, the defending champion Manchester City to impact the Premier League four consecutive titles is very difficultBut this is probably not the worst news, the Blue Moon will have three tough games in 7 days, and the devil's schedule may make the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid smile and end the hope of the Blue Moon Army defending their title in the Champions League!
With a sullen draw at home to Arsenal, Manchester City lost the initiative to win four consecutive Premier League titles
After winning the treble last season, Manchester City is expected to continue to write their legend in the new season, in which whether the Premier League can defend the title has become the target of many fans, and the reason is very simple, in the history of the Premier League, no team has ever completed the hegemony of four consecutive titles, if Guardiola can lead the team to the top of the Premier League again, they will become the only one in history.
But after the draw with Arsenal, Manchester City has lost the initiative to defend the league title, they want to come from behind, must meet two conditions at the same time, one is that they have more points in the remaining nine league games, and the other is that Liverpool and Arsenal make mistakes at the same time, although from the rest of the schedule, Manchester City is the easiest of the top three, but if you want Liverpool, who has more points and goal difference than you, to give up the top spot, you must let Liverpool have at least 1 defeat and 1 game, and at the same time Arsenal also needs to lose at least 1 game, in this case, Manchester City needs to win all the games to reach the topObviously, the probability of such a situation is not very high.
Facing 3 hard-fought battles in 7 days, the devil's field may also make Manchester City's Champions League suffer a heavy blow
For Manchester City, the Premier League cannot defend the title is likely not to be the worst outcome, they are also likely to stop in the Champions League quarterfinals, in the upcoming Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester City will face the Champions League king Real Madrid, although from the overall strength point of view, Manchester City is the stronger side, but the devil's schedule will have a very big impact on them.
In seven days, the Blue Moon will face Villa, Crystal Palace and Real Madrid in a row, and in order to maintain their hopes of defending the Premier League title, Manchester City will definitely go all out in both league games. High-density matches will have a very big impact on the state and physical fitness of the core players, on the other hand, Real Madrid will have up to eight days to prepare for the first leg of the match with Manchester City after beating Athletic Bilbao at home.
In the first leg of this season's Champions League 1/4 finals, Real Madrid will sit at home at the Bernabeu to face Manchester City, if the Galaxy can beat Manchester City in the first leg by virtue of the advantage of home and physical strength, then after the second leg comes to the Etihad Stadium, it is likely to follow Arsenal's example and retreat with an iron bucket, thus ending Manchester City's hope of defending the Champions League!
