4-0!1-0! A crazy night, the big three wins, Bayer Leverkusen makes history, and Paris reaches the final
A number of matches were played on the night, with the big three giants Manchester City, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain all winning. Manchester City came out of a series of draws with a 4-1 thrashing of a strong Aston Villa at home. Pep Guardiola dropped Haaland in favor of Alvarez in this game. As a result, although Alvarez created a lot of chances, he just didn't score and his performance was not satisfactory. Thankfully, Foden stepped up and put in a phenomenal performance, scoring three goals and being the biggest contributor to the team's victory. And Rodri, the big fortune player, also scored the goal. The victory allowed Manchester City to temporarily tie Liverpool in points, but Manchester City played one more game than Liverpool, so Manchester City is still at a disadvantage in the final three.
Arsenal also got a win, beating Luton Town 2-0 at home. Odegaard scored for Arsenal in this game. Arsenal were also lucky, as they sent in an own goal and Taiki Hashioka scored. Arsenal had 58% possession and scored 2 goals from 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Luton, on the other hand, had only five shots on goal and failed to score. The huge gap in strength made the game without any suspense. Arsenal continue to soar, winning nine and drawing one in the Premier League since 2024, dropping just two points at Manchester City. That's quite a result. Arsenal have now climbed to the top of the table as well.
Paris Saint-Germain beat Rennes 1-0 in the semi-finals of the French Cup. Mbappe was a big contributor to the success of the game, scoring the only goal of the game. However, he also missed a penalty. Rennes had about the same number of shots as PSG, but the quality of the shots was poor, with nine shots not scored. In crucial matches like these, the performance of superstars is often the difference between the winners and losers, and Mbappe has once again proven his worth. This time Enrique did not dare to replace Mbappe in advance.
Bayer Leverkusen also played a semi-final match, against Fortuna Dusseldorf in the German Cup semi-finals. As a result, Bayer Leverkusen went crazy, swept their opponents 4-0 and advanced strongly. Bayer Leverkusen scored in the seventh minute when Frimpong slotted home with a powerful shot. Adli then doubled the lead with a low shot. Wirtz scored in the 35th minute. In the 60th minute, Wirtz continued to score, scoring twice from the penalty spot. In the end, Bayer Leverkusen won by 4 goals. Bayer Leverkusen continue to make history and are unbeaten in all 40 games this season, which is unbelievable!
