Man City :Form & Record Check
Manchester City is having another outstanding season. The Citizens hardly lose a game in the current season and are still represented in all important competitions. In addition to the renewed championship, the Champions League title should finally work out, but also the F.A. Cup is by no means negligible. Especially since with a potential victory over the worst competitor from Liverpool, the balance of power could possibly be made clear again. So this upcoming semi-final also has implications for the championship race, albeit primarily psychological ones.

The Citizens are once again in strong form just in time for the season finale with the most important games of the year. The Skyblues have been unbeaten for ten games, winning six of them. Most recently, however, there were two draws in a row. In the league duel against Liverpool last weekend, there was a 2-2 draw in an intense top game, but that was enough to keep the Reds from overtaking. During the week, Man City then drew 0-0 with Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, which, given the 1-0 win in the first leg, was enough to qualify for the semi-finals. In a thrilling game against an uncomfortable opponent, the English champions survived the heated and intense final phase so that the dream of the CL title lives on.
