The unmotivated Derby Dents Visitors ‘Champions League hope

Manchester City couldn’t take advantage of Chelsea’s slip-up in the Champions League football race as the derby with Manchester United ended in an unforgettable 0-0 draw.

City had been seeking revenge for United’s Smash and Grab victory at Etihad Stadium in December, but Pep Guardiola’s men did not offer any major threats at Old Trafford.

Certainly, the famous fixture quickly evolved into a disappointing sight, with neither side crafting many opportunities for clear cut goalscoring.

Despite the fact that the city is still a team that has something to play in the league, it has united to finish something stronger, but the goalless scoreline represents a season where both clubs are well below expectations.

City would have moved to the top four with victory. Instead, they can now jump in a crowded Champions League race by Newcastle United.

Manchester United v Manchester City

United threatened a fast start when Reuben Diaz bundled Alejandro Garnacho just outside the area in the first minute, but the game quickly settled into a very poor view.

Clearly the best player on the pitch, Bruno Fernandez was regularly wasted by inadequate executions in the final third, which led to him promoting responsibility with his teammates.

Meanwhile, City struggled to tear down the host, which reduced it to long distance efforts. Bernando Silva flashed the post once, but Andreonana was always covering it.

Omar Marmash stabbed Onana’s palm several times in the second half, but it was united that he seemed likely to break the deadlock.

Fernandez always seemed to be the opener architect, but Patrick Dolgue’s left-wing cross almost proved that he said he had pushed Ederson into action as his first shot of substitute Joshua Zilky.

United’s lack of energy is probably a lack of energy related to the idea of ​​Thursday’s quarter-final clash with Lyon in the Europa League, representing the only hope of saving the trophy from the season and the only route to Champions League football next season.

The lack of risk employed in the city was even more perplexing, but with four of the last seven games played at home and only one of the away games played against the top half of the side, we hope it will be enough to secure a fifth-place finish that holds his place at the top table in Europe.
