0-0 draw with Southampton – who took a goal in the 35 previous games of the Premier League – complicates the team in the struggle for vacant places at the champions
Manchester City gave, this Saturday 10/5, another example of his irregularity of the season. The then champion of the four -time Premier League, who lost the 2024/25 title in Liverpool, visited St. Mary Stadium The Southampton Lantern. But he didn’t leave a 0-0. Pure disappointment in this game for the 36th English round.
This draw was terrible for City, which was 65 points and now they see Newcastle and Chelsea (63), Nottingham Forest (61) and Aston Villa (60), which will still play in the round, approach the current third place. Southampton, with the worst attack and the worst defense of English, reaches 12 points. For the first time after 36 rounds they did not take a goal in a game. Two salient points of the team in the match were the Ramsdale goalkeeper and the Brazilian defender Welington (ex San Paolo).
Fight for the champions
Interestingly, the English title is already decided in favor of Liverpool. And in addition to Southampton, the other two relegates are also defined: Ipswich and Leicester. Therefore, what is worth this last stretch are the remaining four vacant places for the Champions League (after all, one of these is already in Liverpool). They fight these places: Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
Manchester City is not size
The first half showed a Manchester City with difficulty finding spaces to finish that could be dangerous for Southampton. The torch, by the way, which has an average of more than two goals granted by game (he has already taken 82, being the most leaked defense of the competition) – he did a good defensive work. At the point that city, with seven finishes, obtained only one on the target.
Therefore, even with 72% of the possession of the ball and without any defensive risk (the opponent’s only football came out), the score continued 0-0 until the interval. Bruyne’s offensive quartet made up of Bruyne, Foden and Haaland offered a danger only in Bruyne’s free kick. But this has gone scraping.
Citizens pressure in the final stretch
Already in the second half, with Doku instead of Mcatee, City was a little more incisive in the comedies from the hips, but followed with extreme offensive ineffectiveness. In 20 minutes, there were seven proposals, but only a really dangerous. Guardiola launched Savinho and the Marouh striker at the end of the game. The Brazilian almost marked, with Ramsdale who makes great defense. In addition, Marias sent one to the pole. However, it was not a city day. Also with 26 to 2 in sending and 73% in office.
