Things couldn’t have gone better for Manchester City: On Saturday, Pep Guardiola’s team won 5-1 against Luton Town, and on Sunday both Arsenal and Liverpool lost their respective games. As a result, City has taken the lead in the Premier League table and is now in its own hands to become England’s football champions for the fourth time in a row. A bonus for Guardiola: Against Luton he let a number of key players take a breather, which meant they had fresh legs and heads for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid this Wednesday evening (9 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the Champions League and on DAZN). can get to work.
