The four great Spanish kings were united once again.
It was said that Manchester City's matches had become a focal point for observation by the Spanish national team.
Continuing to play like this,
Villa, Fabregas, and David Silva might even have a chance to make it into the national team!
As such, their performance in this game was particularly active.
But Chelsea gave Manchester City a cold wake-up call from the start.
In the first minute, the viper Mutu controlled the ball in a narrow space, dribbled into the box, and took a low shot.
Neuer was fully focused and successfully parried the shot.
But then came Crespo's follow-up shot.
Thankfully, Kompany rushed at Crespo in time, causing the Argentine's shot to hit the post and bounce out.
When they snapped back to reality, Manchester City also launched a fierce offensive.
