Wan Sheng said he was very happy to see the team lose one game and expressed his optimism about the team's next game, but the media did not think so. They felt that Wan Sheng was stubborn because no matter what Wan Sheng said, Manchester City did lose the game.

Some media even believe that Manchester City is in crisis.

"Moris has not recovered from injury, and the players have been suspended one by one. The team has encountered one battle after another. Manchester City has been exhausted from top to bottom. The four-line battle has brought them too much pressure. Even if the League Cup is over, it will be difficult for Manchester United to continue to support it. In China, the Champions League, they must choose one of them..."

This is the view of many neutral media and also represents the views of most media.

Even the media supporting Manchester City had other opinions, because Manchester City lost to Everton at home, and the unbeaten league ended, which was a big blow to the team's morale. Their advice to the team was to give up the FA Cup and focus on the league and the Champions League.

Those hostile media expressed their opinions that it is good for Manchester City to win the league championship now, and it is difficult for them to make a difference in the Champions League, believing that Manchester City has encountered a great crisis.

Just like the Daily Mirror's view, "A league failure may not mean anything, but Manchester City's weakness in the game is obvious. They cannot continue to persevere. The only thing they can fight for is the league, and the Champions League also puts too much pressure on them."

"Wan Sheng may be a qualified league coach, but he is not a qualified Champions League coach."

Compared to the FA Cup, it is obviously more important in the Champions League.

Hostile media are just to seize the Champions League. As long as Manchester City's performance in the Champions League is not good, they can have something to say, and they believe that Manchester City's form will be affected in recent times, and it will be difficult to maintain the top position in the league.

Under such an atmosphere of public opinion, Manchester City ushered in the next round of the league - playing against Wigan Athletics at home.

In the 15th round of the league, Wigan Athletics tied Manchester City at home, so this game is still very popular. Everyone wants to see what kind of performance Manchester City can perform in the face of Wigan Athletics, which is "strong in the strong team, strong in the weak team, weak in the weak."

Those hostile media were disappointed.

In the game, Manchester City continued to show full suppression and eventually defeated Athletic 4-0.

There is almost no suspense in the game.

At the beginning of the game, Darren Bent scored a goal, and then Ivan Cruy helped the team expand its lead. In the second half, Giovani Morisio, who came on the bench, relied on the header to help the team expand its lead again. Before the end of the game, Dunn added icing on the cake and locked the score at 4-0.

After this game, all the media said that Manchester City was in poor form shut down.

At the moment when Manchester City won a big victory, they were powerless no matter what they said.

However, some media still stubbornly believe that Manchester City is still in crisis. Their view is that Wigan Athletics is not enough to test Manchester City's "quality", because Manchester City thinks they are good at playing against small clubs.

But it is obvious that ‘good at playing against the club’ is also terrifying, because most teams can be counted in the club’s category.

On March 4, in the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester City faced the Celtics at home.

In the last round of the two teams, Manchester City defeated the Celtics 3-2 away. The team had three away goals and one goal difference advantage. It would be difficult for the Celtics to have a chance without playing a 'miracle'.

The Celtics obviously did not give up on the opportunity to advance.

Before the game, their coach Stracan repeatedly emphasized that 'the team will not give up any hope'.

"......It has not reached the point where 'definitely eliminated'. We still have a chance. 2-3 does not mean losing. Even at Manchester Stadium, we will continue to work hard until the end to strive to defeat Manchester City..."

Strakan's accent makes people see his fighting spirit and confidence.

But in fact, the Celtics did not show what he said was strong. Manchester City still dominated the game. They did not even show the toughness of the last game. The result of the game can be imagined.

90 minutes later, Manchester City beat the Celtics 2-0.

After two rounds of matches, Manchester City eliminated the Celtics with a total score of 5:2 to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.

In the Champions League match on the same day, Manchester United defeated Lyon 1-0 at Old Trafford with a goal of Ronaldo and entered the Champions League quarterfinals with a total score of 2:1; Liverpool defeated Inter Milan 1-0 with a goal of Gerrard, and combined with a total score of 2-0 in the first leg, Liverpool successfully advanced with a total score of 3-0.

The next day was the second match day of the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. Chelsea played against Olympiacos, Barack, Lampard and Karau each scored one goal. Chelsea ended the game with a score of 3:0.

After the second match day, the quarterfinals of the Champions League have already been produced.

Four Premier League teams, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, all defeated their opponents to advance to the quarterfinals respectively.

Serie A AC Milan and Roma also defeated their opponents respectively to advance. Schalke 04 of Bundesliga was eliminated by AC Milan, Real Madrid was eliminated by Roma, and in other games, Barcelona eliminated Porto and Fenerbahce defeated Sevilla.

The Champions League quarterfinals have already emerged, namely Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea in the Premier League, AC Milan and Roma in Serie A, Barcelona in La Liga and Fenerbahce in Turkish League.

That night, almost all British media were covering the Champions League events, because of the quarterfinals of this year, the four Premier League teams occupied half of the UEFA Champions League!

"The Premier League dominates!"

The British Football Newspaper used this title to report on the Champions League, "...As Liverpool dismantled the "century-old store" Inter Milan at the Meacha Stadium, the four Premier League champions joined hands to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals, thus opening a new chapter in the Champions League."

"At the beginning of the new century, the Champions League was strong and the Serie A was strong, but the grand era of the two national clubs occupying half of the country's top eight matches has never happened, but the Premier League clubs have completed a major breakthrough this year after accumulating last season."

Liverpool and Manchester United were highlighted because their opponents were the most difficult.

"...Liverpool advanced with Inter Milan, while Manchester United defeated Ligue 1 champion Lyon. The results of the two teams also prove that the Premier League's strength level is already the top in the Champions League."

The British Football News continued to analyze and point out that "Since the five major European leagues have been said, the debate about which is better and worse in Italy, England and Spain has never stopped. However, judging from the European competition results in recent years, England clubs have led the Italian, Spanish clubs in overall terms. Premier League teams have been seen in the Champions League finals for three consecutive seasons. Last season, the four teams qualify for the group and rushed to the quarterfinals together."

"The Premier League is prosperous, the general trend is ready!"

Just like the report of The British Football News, almost all British media are praising the good results of the English club in the Champions League.

However, the most core report is always the progress of the game. The Champions League quarterfinal draw has become the focus of everyone's attention. Many British media expressed that they hope that the Premier League will not encounter a civil war. "...that the four English teams may occupy all the semi-finals..."

That is really a prosperous era!

Of course, the above statements are just the "fantasy" of the British media.

Not to mention whether UEFA's draws in the Champions League quarterfinals are fair or not. There are four Premier League teams in the quarterfinals, and the probability of not meeting each other is too small.

The results of the draw on the next day were not as expected by the British media.

In the end, Liverpool met Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City met Roma and AC Milan respectively, and Barcelona drew good draws. They staggered six Premier League teams and Serie A teams, and met Fenerbahce in the Turkish Premier League.

There are four teams in England, two of them will have to engage in civil war, while two of them will have to collide directly with Italian teams.

Many media exclaimed, "This is a direct showdown between the Premier League and Serie A!"

Manchester's "two heroes" met AC Milan and Roma. Manchester United's opponents were better. Roma was very strong this season, but they have always had poor results in the Champions League. Although they eliminated Real Madrid, Real Madrid has broken the wings of the Champions League quarterfinals for several consecutive seasons, and the media and fans have become "cliented" by Roma. In other words, there is nothing strange about Roma's elimination of Real Madrid. Compared with the powerful Manchester United, they are still considered the "weak" side.

The showdown between Manchester City and AC Milan became the focus.

Both the British and Italian media regard this as a "direct showdown between the Premier League and Serie A".

AC Milan is the best Italian club in the Champions League, and they are also the defending champions of the Champions League this season; Manchester City has performed quite well in the past three seasons, and they have almost 'ruled' the Premier League and have performed very strongly in the Champions League this season.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, Manchester City met AC Milan. After two rounds of home and away, Manchester City was eliminated by AC Milan, and now the two teams are in contact again. The Sun said, "This is a fateful showdown!"

"Milan Sports" believes that "Acc Milan has won the worst draw!"

The Italians and the English have different ideas, because England has four teams to advance to the quarterfinals and Italy has only two teams. Although they also regard the game between Manchester City and AC Milan as the focus, the game of focus is by no means an "good signing", because in the eyes of many Italians, they only have AC Milan, a team that can compete for the championship.

Roma also entered the quarterfinals, but almost no one would think they had a chance to compete for the championship. The odds of European bookmakers regarding the Champions League championship can also prove this. Among the remaining eight teams, Roma's odds are only higher than that of Fenerbahce in the Turkish League, reaching a 1-loss of 28.

Therefore, AC Milan is the only hope for the Italians.

AC Milan is definitely not a good sign when it comes to Manchester City.

Although AC Milan eliminated Manchester City last season, the good goal Manchester City played at San Siro Stadium still remembered the Italians. Thinking of that game, thinking about Manchester City's strength this season and AC Milan's weakness in the domestic league, they all know that AC Milan has encountered difficult opponents.
