After the match against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City welcomed Lyon at home.

Because Manchester City defeated Lyon 2-0 away in the first leg of the match between the two sides, many people think that this second leg is basically no suspense.

But that's not the case.

After the start of the game, Manchester City, who were playing at home, did not play very well.

They seem to have taken too lightly and have been in the game for significantly longer than Lyon.

However, Lyon, who had their backs to the water, completely let go of their psychological baggage, went all out, and caused some problems for Manchester City away from home.

Until the end of the first half, Manchester City, who were playing at home, could not score, and the score was 0:0.

Although this score can also make Manchester City qualify from the group, if they can't win the game at their home stadium, there is still some face that is not passable.

At half-time, Rafael Benitez was relentless in his criticism of City's players.

At the start of the second half, City were able to return to some normal levels.

But it's still hard to get into the game that quickly, let alone Lyon's form.

The two sides are inseparable.

There were times when it looked like Lyon had the edge, and other times it looked as if City were going to score right away.

Whether it's Manchester City or Lyon fans, they are scared.

The person who finally ended this qiē is still glorious.

But he didn't end it with a goal, it was an assist.

After a dribbling breakaway, he crossed the ball in front of goal, and Berbatov, who followed up in the middle, easily swept the ball into the goal, and Manchester City finally broke the deadlock at home!

1：0！

On aggregate, Manchester City led Lyon 3-0.

This goal could have almost ended all the suspense. Lyon are unlikely to score three goals in a row with just over 20 minutes remaining, while still denying City the chance to score further.

Before that, Lyon was like a balloon full of gas, and Berbatov's goal punctured the balloon, and with a snort, the gas ran out in an instant, and Lyon immediately wilted.

After the restart, they could no longer find the spirit they had before, and they were not in the same form as before.

As for Manchester City, for a longer-term consideration, Benitez has also begun to make frequent substitutions, filling the team's rhythm of the game.

After all, there is a league ahead, and the league battle with Chelsea is crucial. There's no need to put too much effort into a game you've already won, so what if you get a player injured?

Rafael Benitez replaced Sneijder, Berbatov and David Silva and the attacking line-up that started up front was a source of glory.

One glory is enough, enough to deter Lyons so that they do not dare to press the attack.

The final score of this game was fixed at 1:0, and this game was not shocked after Manchester City's goal, and everyone was not surprised by this result.

Regardless of what happened before the goal, at least the result was quite in line with everyone's pre-match predictions.

Manchester City didn't pay much to knock out Lyon.

In this way, Manchester City made a historic break into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It was the best performance in their Champions League history.

After the final whistle blew, there was a deafening cheer over the Manchester City Stadium.

These are all sent by Manchester City fans.

Champions League quarterfinals!

It feels like a dream for something like this to happen to the team they support.

They felt that no matter who appeared in front of them now, they had nothing to fear.

This Manchester City team has the ability to beat any team in the world!

※※※

Although at the end of the game, Manchester City fans were full of confidence, and even a little inflated.

But after a night, most people calmed down.

They are starting to care about who Manchester City will face in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Of course, they hope to draw a team that is not very strong, as was the case in the round of 16 draw, so that they can break into the semi-finals and write their own record.

Now they don't know the outcome. Because all the quarter-finals of the Champions League have to wait a week.

In the middle of next week, when all Champions League quarter-finals are completed, there will be a draw for the quarter-finals.

In the league at the weekend, Manchester City beat Sunderland 2-1 away and Chelsea beat West Ham United 4-1 at home.

They remain four points clear of Chelsea.

And Chelsea have not been left behind, continuing to clench Manchester City, waiting for the time to collapse Manchester City.

Manchester City have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and while the City fans are in high spirits, the Chelseans see their hopes of winning the title. Reaching the quarterfinals is definitely not good news for Manchester City, and when it comes to the Champions League, Manchester City will definitely not give up lightly, and they will inevitably give their best in the Champions League, which will also affect Manchester City's performance in the league.

Also in the Champions League, Chelsea lost 2-1 away to Inter Milan in the first leg of the quarter-finals, but that doesn't mean Chelsea will be eliminated from the Champions League and they have a chance of progressing to the next round. After all, Chelsea have only lost by one goal on aggregate, and Chelsea have one away goal.

However, Chelsea feel they have a lot more experience in dealing with both sides than Manchester City.

Six years ago, in 2004, under Claudio Ranieri, Chelsea had reached the last four of the Champions League and they knew exactly how to play on both fronts.

Just three days later, however, Chelsea lost 1-0 to Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan at their home stadium.

If both sides set up buses, Ancelotti did not win against Mourinho.

Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League.

Having been eliminated from the Champions League will naturally make Abramovich a little unhappy. Because of the league title or something, he already tasted it when Jose Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea. But the Champions League has always been his dream goal.

Starting with Agnelli, the Champions League semi-finals have failed to satisfy Abramovich.

Later, Grant took over the Chelsea left by Jose Mourinho in the middle of the way, and reached the Champions League final without being favored. However, the final defeat prevented Grant from successfully staying under Abramovich.

This shows how deep Abramovich's desire for the Champions League title is.

There is a saying that has a deep influence on him, that is, if a team has not won the Champions League, it is not a giant, no matter how many domestic league titles it has won.

Abramovich doesn't want his team to be looked down upon all the time and be called a "nouveau riche", so winning a Champions League title to justify himself has become Abramovich's most urgent desire.

This time, however, Chelsea lost in the quarter-finals of the Champions League...... And it was also lost to Mourinho, who was swept away by him before, which will definitely make Abramovich have an opinion about Ancelotti.

But for Chelsea today, being out of the Champions League may still be a good thing.

Because they can concentrate on Manchester City and compete with Manchester City for the league title.

Manchester City still has to fight on two fronts, and when the time comes, Chelsea will wait for work, and it is not a dream to drag down Manchester City.

On the day Chelsea were knocked out, all eight quarter-finals were over and all eight teams had qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

They are Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Bordeaux, Porto, Barcelona, Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow.

Two of the eight teams are from the Premier League, the league with the largest number of teams, which shows that the Premier League is still the best league in Europe.

The rest of the teams each represent a league, with Bayern Munich representing the Bundesliga, Bordeaux representing Ligue 1, Porto representing the Portuguese Super League, Barcelona representing La Liga, Inter Milan representing Serie A and CSKA Moscow representing the Russian Premier League.

In the evening, at UEFA's headquarters, a draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League took place.

The draw was not as grand as the group stage and quarter-final draws, but it was still in the spotlight.

Because the Champions League is played here, almost every game will be a strong conversation.

The first team to be drawn was Manchester United, who were drawn with Bayern Munich.

This is the battle between the best and the best.

The most famous feud between Manchester United and Bayern Munich is naturally the Camp Nou in 1999, Bayern Munich led for 90 minutes and allowed Manchester United to score two goals in stoppage time to lose the Champions League title 1-2, and also achieved the most famous comeback victory in the history of the Champions League.

The next Porto and Bordeaux were grouped together, a two-wave battle.

Four of the eight teams have been drawn, leaving Manchester City, Inter Milan, Barcelona and CSKA Moscow.

Manchester City fans watching the draw live on their televisions were nervous, and the quarter-final opponent they would most like to face was CSKA Moscow, the weakest team in the quarter-finals.

If they can be separated together, then Manchester City can almost be regarded as entering the last four early.

However, the odds of winning CSKA Moscow are not very large, and the remaining two-thirds of the odds of either Inter Milan or Barcelona are not good news for Manchester City.

Manchester City fans also know that now that they are competing with Chelsea for the league title, the weaker the opponent in the Champions League, the better, and they will have to fight both fronts.

While Manchester City fans were praying to God, the draw continued.

Their names were reported.

"Ah, it's Manchester City! Now it's Manchester City and they're going to play at home first – home and away – and that's not a good schedule......" said John Mortson, the host in charge of the broadcast.

Manchester City have been drawn out, and it is time to draw Manchester City's opponents next.

The Manchester City fans in front of the TV held their breath.

Their eyes were fixed on the raffle's hands, watching his hands fiddle with the ping-pong balls in the transparent boxes.

Then his hand stopped, grabbed a ping-pong ball, and began to lift the ball out of the box.

He began to dismantle the ball with his head down, and took out a folded note from it.

He looked at it for a moment, then unfolded it to face the camera lens, and at the same time he said: "Barcelona." ”
