On May 3, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Wolves at home. The latter had previously won 6 consecutive games in the Premier League. This was almost the most difficult game among Manchester City's remaining schedule. As a result, they defeated their opponents 1-0 and successfully scored 3 points.

Since the out of the Champions League, the old Manchester City has regained its life. With sufficient physical strength, Manchester City has been unbeaten for 6 rounds. They even reached the FA Cup final last week. This time against Wolves, Haaland returned from injury and entered the roster, but the Norwegian talented center did not play in this game because Manchester City could defeat Wolves without him. In the 35th minute of the first half, the only goal in the game arrived. Doku forced a breakthrough on the left, then made the ball in the backward triangle, De Bruyne followed up and directly pushed the ball to score. De Bruyne, who is about to be 34, will leave Manchester City this summer, but despite this, he is still working diligently on the court. At Manchester City, De Bruyne has won numerous championships. He conquered all his opponents with the team and was also a witness to Manchester City's entry into a giant from a first-class team. In this game, with De Bruyne's goal, Manchester City finally scored 3 points 1-0.

After this game, Manchester City ushered in four consecutive victories in the Premier League (previously defeated Crystal Palace, Everton and Villa), and they have also entered the top three, currently leading No. 6 Nottingham Forest 4 points. In other words, even if Nottingham Forest can defeat Crystal Palace away in this round, they cannot surpass Manchester City. This season, Nottingham Forest is a super dark horse in the Premier League, and once ranked in the top three for a long time, but unfortunately it is a bit lacking in momentum now. In contrast, Manchester City came from behind, and this Premier League giant has a great chance to win a Champions League place.

Now Manchester City has obtained the initiative in competing for five. In the next three rounds of the game, their opponents are Southampton, Bournemouth and Fulham. These teams are all without exception. In addition, Manchester City has returned to their peak now, and their three wins are just around the corner. As long as you score 9 points, Manchester City will definitely be able to lock in the top five and advance to the Champions League next season. Manchester City will be completely rebuilt this summer. In addition to De Bruyne, Gundogan and Bernardo Silva and others may also leave the team. They need Champions League qualification more than ever to attract superstars and talented players to join. As long as Guardiola is given a few more years, he is likely to build another team that dominates the Premier League. By then, the sky of the Premier League will be blue again!
