LONDON: The third act of Manchester City and Tottenham’s trilogy has some living up to do after a Champions League classic saw Spurs prevail on away goals to reach the semi-finals.
However, it is Liverpool who lead by two points as things stand having played a game more than their title rivals. City’s extra resources may have counted for little once more in Europe, but it could prove the difference with such a tight turnaround for both sides. And should they lose a fifth straight away league game, third-placed Spurs could easily find themselves outside the top four come the end of the weekend.Such was the drama at the Etihad that Liverpool’s serene progress to the Champions League semi-finals with a 4-1 win in Porto went largely unnoticed.
In comparison to their Premier League rivals, Manchester United limped out of the Champions League with a whimper as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men were beaten 3-0 by Barcelona on Tuesday to complete a 4-0 aggregate defeat. That could get even worse if the rot is not stopped at Everton on Sunday as City and Chelsea visit Old Trafford next week.
