There have been four rounds of the Champions League group stage in six rounds. Today, in addition to Manchester City and Villarreal, Naples also played another game with Bayern Munich. Naples played against Bayern Munich one-to-one.

Therefore, the current record is that Bayern Munich has three wins and one draw, ranking first.

Manchester City rushed to the second place in the group with a double defeat to Villarreal, winning two wins, one draw and one loss in four games, and earning seven points.

Naples and Bayern only scored one point in their two encounters, and their rankings could only be surpassed by Manchester City, with one win, two draw and one loss in four games, and five points.

Villarreal was very miserable. They lost all four games to the bottom of the group and had already lost hope of promotion and became the most tragic team in this group.

The yellow submarine, which was once very famous in European football, is now quite regrettable.

Manchester City's Champions League promotion situation has become much optimistic, but the away game against Naples and home match against Bayern Munich are not easy to win in both games. If Manchester City wants to advance, they still have to show 100% form.

In terms of the Premier League, the schedule is gradually becoming more difficult.

In the 12th round of the league, Manchester City faced Newcastle United, which is currently ranked third in the standings.

The Magpies have indeed performed very well this season. Among them, the core Ben Alfa and forward fierce player Dembaba are definitely their magic weapon to win in the Premier League. Being able to beat Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and other powerful teams ranked third in the league standings is enough to prove the strength of this team. Dembaba is also the top super forward player on the scorer list.

Before the game, the whole Manchester City team attached great importance to this game. In terms of ranking in the standings, this is a Premier League matchup that is second only to the Manchester derby.

Manchester City, who plays at home, naturally faces the main players, and Newcastle United also wants to give Manchester City the first defeat in the Premier League this season.

Manchester City starts goalkeeper Hart, and the defense is Richards, Kompany, Lescott and Krish.

Yaya Toure is partnered with De Jong in the midfield, Xu Qi appeared on the right side in this game, while Nasri is on the left side.

David Silva got a chance to rest in this game, and Balotelli partnered with Aguero on the front line.

As for Newcastle United, goalkeeper Kruel and the defense are Simpson, Steven Taylor, Kroccini, and Ryan Taylor.

Midfielder Noimia Ameobi, Kabaye, Danny Gusri, Argentina international Gutierrez.

Before Dembaba, Ben Alfa lived behind Dembaba.

The Etihad Stadium finally officially kicked off at 11:00 pm Beijing time.

Manchester City, which has won eight consecutive victories in various competitions, finally kicked off and is ready to create a winning streak record of this team, winning nine consecutive victories!

David Silva did not play in this game, but Xu Qi immediately filled David Silva's position and showed his organizational talent to the fullest.

"Okay, the game has begun. This is the only matchup between the two teams that remain unbeaten this season. Who can continue to maintain the unbeaten golden body after this game is a topic of interest to the media and fans." commentator Zhan Jun commented, "Newcastle United is the favorite opponent of Manchester City, because they have not beaten Manchester City for a long time. The last time Newcastle defeated Manchester City was in 2005, and the player who scored for Newcastle United was still Irving."

At the beginning, Manchester City, the leader of the league, naturally showed its courage as the leader and began to use the advantage of ball control to siege Newcastle United's defense.

Xu Qi, Aguero and Balotelli bombed Newcastle United's defense zone in turn, and Newcastle United also made Manchester City's defense line sweat with a shot in front of the goal.

Both teams did a very good job of defense. There was no goal in the first 40 minutes of the game. Until the 41st minute of the game, Kalixi made a cross from the left, and Xu Qi and Balotelli rushed up to compete for the landing point in the penalty area, but Ryan Taylor reached out to block the ball's running line at this time.

The referee could see the ball clearly and directly called a penalty!

Balotelli stood before the penalty spot again, and he never missed a penalty kick, and this penalty was no exception.

After running, he tricked goalkeeper Kruel, and then sent the ball into the opposite direction, one to zero!

Balotelli crossed his hands on his chest, showing a calm and worthy of beating, looking cool.

As soon as the ball was scored, Newcastle United seemed quite chaotic. Just three minutes later, Newcastle United made a mistake in the backcourt. Although Ryan Taylor, who had just given a penalty, did not give a penalty this time, his clearance kicked under Xu Qi's feet. After Xu Qi saw Richards inserted on his side, he shook his ankle and gave Richards a single shot.

Richards scored directly with a goal, 2-0, and the Magpies looked like they were going to suffer their first defeat in the season.

Manchester City's victory will continue.

The first half was 2-0, and in the second half, the score was quickly rewritten. Xu Qi scored the third goal this time!

Xu Qi showed his strong breakthrough ability on the right side. After finding the opportunity, he shot with his right foot outside the instep in the penalty area. The ball was directly in the dead corner, making Kruel unable to defend.

Three to zero.

Manchester City faced the third-place team in the Premier League standings and gained a three-goal lead like cutting melons and vegetables.

In the next 72 minutes, the referee gave Manchester City a chance to score another penalty in a very proud way, and Aguero took the penalty and hit it!

Four to zero!

The dignified Newcastle United was defeated at the Etihad Stadium.

Although they scored the 89th goal in the final stage to save some face, this did not prevent them from suffering the first defeat in the league, and watched Manchester City win nine consecutive victories in various competitions!

Currently, the only team that is unbeaten in the Premier League is left: Manchester City!

At this time, Manchester City scored a total of 44 goals in the twelve rounds of the league, setting a record for the strongest firepower in the first twelve rounds in the 48 years of the English top league. Today, Blue Moon is proud of the Premier League!

Manchester City temporarily expands its lead in the Premier League standings to eight points. Next, it depends on whether Manchester United can withstand the pressure and continue to recover the gap to five points.

In the next day's game, Manchester United really withstood the pressure. They won Swansea 1-0 away and continued to narrow the gap back to five points. However, this did not prevent Manchester City from continuing to enjoy their wonderful Premier League season, as if they had already booked the championship.

After all, the gap between five points is not small. Manchester City has gained unprecedented confidence in these twelve rounds of the league and developed a strong winning inertia.

In the next round, Manchester City will face the strong opponent again, Reds Liverpool!

However, before that, there was a more critical Champions League match, away against Napoli.

After facing strong opponents for two consecutive games for a week, Manchester City finally began to face difficult challenges!
Chapter completed!
