What are the chances for Man-City and coach Pellegrini in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals?

Manchester City are having a memorable season, reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. This is their last chance toCoach Pellegrinidetermined to win the most prestigious title in the European arena as a farewell gift to the Etihad Stadium team.

Rewriting history

Since Pellegrini agreed to "tie the knot" with the blue team of Manchester from 2013 until now. The team at Etihad Stadium has made positive changes in the domestic league as well as the Champions League arena. Specifically, the 2013-2014 season was a year of great success for Manchester City when this team completed the double of League Cup and Premier League titles. In the most prestigious arena of the continent, the army of the Chilean coach also made it to the round of 16 for the first time and had to stop by the Catalan giant.

In the 2014-2015 domestic season, the blue half of Manchester was dethroned by The Blue and in the Champions League, the English representative fell into "death" with names such as Bayern Munich, AS Roma, CSKA Moscow. Although there were not very smooth starts with heavy losses against representatives from Germany and Russia in the first leg. However, with the sublimation in the second leg matches, Manchester City squeezed through the narrow door, thereby entering the round of 16 for the second time to meet Barcelona. However, like the previous season, they were forced to stop after losing to the Catalan club after 2 matches with a total score of 1-3 (first leg 1-2; second leg 1-0).

This season’s Champions League is witnessing the strong rise of the “rich guy” from Manchester. The fact that the Chilean coach’s team is currently in the Top 4 strongest teams in Europe is considered an unimaginable success for football fans. For a long time, the Etihad team was only considered “smart at home, stupid in the market” when they had to stop at the qualifying round or at least the round for the 16 strongest teams, no more, no less.

This season, after 10 matches, the Etihad team has won 6, drawn 2, lost 2, scored 18 goals and conceded 11. The two players leading the scoring list in the Champions League are Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling with 3 goals each. With their first appearance in the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, coach Pellegrini's team has turned the history of the blue half of Manchester team in the most prestigious arena of the continent to a new page.

Fire for the last time!

The draw of luck accidentally brought the Chilean coach to meet his old friend, the royal team Real Madrid, where he had a not-so-good time and had to pack up and leave because of injustice and dark conspiracies. That was probably a time that coach Pellegrini did not want to mention.

Putting aside the past, the Chilean coach is now about to be kicked out again despite his achievements, just like before at the Bernabeu. 3 titles (Premier League 2014 and League Cup 2014, 2016), an attractive attacking style and even taking the team to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time, but at Etihad, few people care about this Engineers' Day anymore. Their minds are now only waiting for the day Pep Guardiola comes to take over this rich team.

More than ever, the Chilean coach really wants Manchester City, the last hope of England in this year's Champions League after the elite representatives and the biggest hope of the foggy country such as MU, Chelsea and Arsenal were all eliminated, to win against the team that is making a strong comeback under the leadership of French legend Zidane.

Real Madrid may currently possess top attacking superstars such as Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Benzema... who are showing extremely impressive form and are facing the opportunity to complete the "Undecima". However, now coach Pellegrini and his team are not easy opponents to bully. After the failures, Man City have learned their "bloody" lessons in the Champions League. Moreover, the explosion of individuals such as Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling or Yaya Toure is the key to victory for the Etihad team.

A victory over the white vultures will open up a favorable opportunity for the Chilean coach to be able to burn himself out on the path to realizing his dream of winning the Champions League and then leave in glory.
