  • 25' The travelling Manchester City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Manchester City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
