Manchester champion of the Premier League 2021-2022
This Sunday, Manchester City and Aston Villa met for matchday 38 of the Premier League at the Etihad. A match that had the pressure of the Liverpool match at the same time at Anfield against Wolves.
The 'Citizens' and the 'Reds' could win the league, those led by Pep with 90 points and those led by Klopp with 89, a failure of one made the other champion, of course, depending on the result.
Both clashes started in the worst way for the leaders of the table, since the Wolves team gave the surprise, just in minute 2 with a goal from Pedro Neto that silenced Anfield and suddenly the hopes of the fans came crashing down.
But Jürgen had placed his arsenal on the attack. Sané, Luis Díaz and Diogo Jota, since Salah was injured. At minute 23 Mané converted the tie after a backheel pass from Thiago Alcántara that left him hand in hand with the goalkeeper and thus achieved the partial 1-1.
For its part, the match began at the Etihad and both teams did not face the rival goal. Possession of the ball belonged to City, but the minutes passed with the news that Liverpool was down on the scoreboard.
Until at minute 37 the 'villains' made a counterattack from the left through Lucas Digne, who sent a center into the area and Cash headed it to send it to the back of the net. 0-1 and the Etihad also fell silent.
With Liverpool drawing at the end of the first half and the partial defeat of Guardiola's men, the team from the capital were champions because they had the advantage in goal average with six more goals, but the comebacks would materialize in the second half.
However, the situation would become even more complicated for Manchester, since at 69' Philippe Coutinho would score the partial 0-2. The play of the goal was with a long serve by Olsen that Rodri did not clear and fell to Coutinho in the area, he outwitted a defender and finished close to the near post and beat Ederson to widen the difference.
Pep's men were still champions with that partial result, because Liverpool were still drawing at Anfield, but if Klopp's men scored again, City had to score three goals to win the championship.
However, at 76' Gundogan scored the first for City. Sterling sent a cross into the area and the German headed to the near post to make it 1-2. Quickly, the local team converted the tie.
At 78', Zinchenko leads an attack down the left wing and, reaching the baseline, sends a pass to the edge where Rodrigo arrived, who took a low shot to the right post by Olsen. 2-2 partial. But the story would not be like that.
At minute 81, Gundogan again converted the final 3-2. The action starts from an attack by Kevin De Bruyne who enters the area and takes a pass to the far post and the German arrives there to convert the last goal of the match and complete the comeback that would give Guardiola the fourth Premier title and the two-time championship to City.
The comeback of Guardiola's men came just in time, since at Anfield Liverpool would score 2-1 in the 83rd minute through Salah, who had come on, recovered from an injury in the FA CUP game.
At minute 88 the locals would score the final 3-1 through Roberson after a pass he received from Firminho. The result would not be enough for Liverpool, since City had come back as well. Guardiola's men were crowned Premier League champions for the second consecutive year, the sixth for City and the fourth in Pep's era.
