THE Manchester City refuses to lose at Champions League and wants to “erase” her record United with the longest winning streak in the competition.
It was September 19, 2007 when his excellent team Sir Alex Ferguson kicked off the Champions League with a win over Sporting Lisbon. Scorer then Cristiano Ronaldo who “hurt” the club of his heart and was starting an incredible streak 25 matches unbeaten in the tournament.
This stopped in the finale of the following season and the final in Rome against Barcelona. Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi obliged the “babies” to first defeat after 20 months and at the same time they were crowned European champions.
The trophy may have been lost for ‘Fergie’ and his armada, the record of 16 wins and 9 draws maintained over time until it is now ‘threatened’ by the city’s awe-inspiring rivals. Manchester City “survived” in battle of the titans with Real in Madrid and after the 3-3 between them the qualification to the semifinals of the institution will be decided in England.
With the draw at the “Bernabeu”, the current European champions extended their unbeaten run in the Champions League having 22 matches with 16 wins and 6 draws. To catch the compatriots in this informal “against” they will need to remain unbeaten until the final and to overcome them, they must start the next season with a win. The answer in the near future.
