Manchester City sweet sixteen



If you state that Pep Guardiola has the Midas touch, you may be right, ever since this man career started as manager, he has become one of the most prolific in the world.

By making it as one of the most successful operates.

Going into his second year at the helm of the Sky Blues, Pep has instituted not only a winning attitude but also a sense of confidence to all of his players by seeing an all-around revival in Etihad.

Yes, the Citizens are currently delivering a one of a kind campaign and playing a tough game of football and so far are in a record setting run by delivering sixteen wins in a consecutive form.

Very well solidifying their first place position, with a commanding fourteen-point lead over their closest chasers Manu, Chelsea and Arsenal, with a rout over their foes.

Still the campaign is not over and with Premiership coming to its first half finish.

So far, Pep Guardiola and company seen as the league champions, despite EPL’s campaign being in its core and time in it for many squads to be in the title race, for some by the looks of City successful campaign.

By conceding early, the race for the league shield is over.

With today’s match celebrated in Etihad the Manchester City bunch had in front of them a very resilient and battling Tottenham Hotspurs coming to town and by the hand of their manager Mauricio Pochettino, the Londoners were looking for a big win.

Not against this Etihad based squad, playing a wondrous game of football that is delivering all sorts of panic to their foes after seeing how these close their games with an absolute authority and a goal rout that is becoming a nightmare for the opposing defenses.

Ask that to a surprised and overpowered Tottenham bunch leaving Manchester with a goal rout and exposing their initial eleven weaknesses whenever these play against a big squad that they cannot overcome their aggressive and fierce football.

As Pep and company did, a repass over the Spurs with a 4-1 goal rout were the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling shined as well a renewed Leroy Sane that in every match this chap is displaying a one of a kind game.

Still in week 18 of Premiership the game that highlighted as most important was the one between the Lilywhites and Citizens, with both squads initial elevens plagued with top of the line players, very well with strikers in Sergio Aguero versus Harry Kane.

Today Kane considered as an emerging player and seen to be among the top players alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Lionel Messi, today this man stellar performances eclipsed by a stingy and overpowering City defenses.

At the end the Spurs shots on goal were reduced to just seven versus twenty of their hosts.

By a parade of strikers making their target, the Citizens sentenced the match with goals from Ilkay Gundahan, Kevin De Bruyne and a double by Raheem Sterling the Sky Blues not only sentenced this match into  their sweet sixteen win.
