At the same time that Manchester City eliminated Atletico Madrid and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
They will soon move to London to prepare for the FA Cup semi-final.
The opponent in the semi-finals is Arsenal.
Although Arsenal were very desperate in this game, at Wembley Stadium, Gao Bo's team still relied on Kaka and Sanchez's goals in the first and second half to eliminate Arsenal [-]-[-] and advance to the FA Cup final!
And their opponent in the final is their neighbor Manchester United!
Manchester United eliminated Hull City in the semi-finals and reached the final.
The two teams from Manchester met in the final moments of this tournament.
It seems like a repeat of the League Cup final this season.

Said Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.
For Manchester City fans, this is their happiest moment in these years.
Won the league championship seven rounds ahead of schedule.
The FA Cup reached the final.
The UEFA Champions League reached the semi-finals.
And what makes them most happy is this weekend.
This weekend is the second round of Manchester City's No.30 league match against Liverpool this season. Manchester City will challenge Liverpool away.
What made City fans so excited about this game was their chance to see that one of their most hated teams, Liverpool, would line up at their home ground, Anfield, to welcome the league champions!
For Liverpool to line up to welcome a champions team from Manchester is a huge insult.
Of course, lining up to welcome the champion is just an unwritten practice, just a tradition.
Whether Liverpool will line up to welcome Manchester City at home is the most concerned topic before the start of this game.
For Liverpool players.
At Anfield, the pre-match line up to welcome new champions Manchester City bordered on insulting.
However, for Manchester City players, they are very excited, and they are looking forward to this day.
For a long time, Liverpool has been regarded as one of the most successful clubs in English football, as famous as Manchester City's other rival Manchester United.
They are the biggest giants in England.
It's just that they haven't been able to win the Premier League title so far, and Manchester City... already has two Premier League titles.
The fans of Manchester City are also very excited. When they think of this scene, they can't wait.
One day before the game, Manchester City fans were very excited. They talked about it on the Internet and in fan gatherings.
"When I think of the expressions of Liverpool people, I am very happy!"
"Yes!"
"They also have today!"
Not just fans.
The Manchester City players are also looking forward to it.
"You said, will they really line up?" Trippier said excitedly. As an Englishman and a product of Manchester City's youth training, he is happy to see Liverpool suffer.
"I guess they're going to cheat." Kompany also participated in the discussion.
He doesn't think Liverpool will line up for City.
Although it is a tradition to line up to pay tribute, there is no express rule that you must line up.
As far as the hatred between the two cities is concerned, it is more uncomfortable to let Liverpool people line up to welcome Manchester City than to kill them.
"I bet on the top [-], they will line up!" Kolarov booed.
"It's a bet!" Kompany responded immediately.
Soon, Manchester City's players "split" into two factions, and they stood in line one after another.
The whole of England is discussing the next game.
Everyone is very concerned about whether Liverpool will follow the tradition and line up to welcome Manchester City.
Everyone is looking forward to this scene.
The Liverpool people must be very disappointed, they don't want to see this scene.
And Manchester United fans are a little happy about it.
Although Manchester City's victory made Manchester United fans very upset, but having the opportunity to see Liverpool lining up to welcome Manchester City still makes Manchester United fans look forward to it.
After all, they watch the fun and are not afraid of big things. In the future, Manchester United will not meet Manchester City in the league. Therefore, Manchester United fans can enjoy Liverpool's unlucky scene with a very relaxed attitude.
No matter what the parties think, in short, the time for this game is getting closer and closer.
at the pre-match press conference.
The question of whether Liverpool will follow tradition has been asked many times by Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez.
And Benitez has never given a positive answer before, but at the press conference before the game, Benitez said very frankly: "Although we are very reluctant, we don't want to destroy the tradition of English football. Liverpool will not change or destroy such a tradition that has lasted for nearly 100 years."
What Benitez said was very angry, and of course many Liverpool fans have mixed feelings.
On the one hand, they don't want to line up to welcome Manchester City, on the other hand, they don't want to be "sinners" who destroy tradition.
This is really a very contradictory state of mind.
game day.
Anfield Stadium.
When the Manchester City players walked down the stairs of the tunnel and walked out of the pitch.
Liverpool's players lined up in two lines outside the tunnel to welcome their bitter rivals Manchester City.
Crazy boos broke out in the stands!
This is probably very unhappy Liverpool fans.
Of course, there may be a lot of boos here for Liverpool players.
If the players hadn't lived up to expectations and failed to win the league championship, they wouldn't have been humiliated like this.
The Manchester City players were not very excited. During the internal communication, there was no lack of ridicule and ridicule in the words. However, when the Liverpool players lined up to applaud them, they did not act excessively.
The players looked serious, and no one was provocative or smug.
Speaking of which, the feud between Manchester City and Liverpool is not the same as Manchester United and Liverpool.
Although the two sides are enemies, the hatred comes more from the hatred between the two cities. It is not like Manchester United and Liverpool, which have many hatred entanglements, even to the point where they have not communicated with each other for decades.
Moreover, many players have a good relationship with opposing players in private.
If you really want to count, Manchester City's biggest mortal enemy is Manchester United.
Another point of interest in this game is that.
Can Liverpool end Manchester City's winning streak at home?
Manchester City is now on a terrifying 31-game winning streak, and they have already won the championship.
In this way, Manchester City is bound to relax, while Liverpool is still in the critical period of competing for the top four.
The two sides are not at the same level in terms of devotion and fighting spirit to the game.
Before the game, many people thought that the possibility of Manchester City winning was not great.
