As the season drew closer to its conclusion—or to be exact, since December—Manchester City's starting lineup had begun to display a visually pleasing synergy on the pitch, seemingly abandoning the outdated POMO theory that had plagued English football for three decades.
Watching them play, one would no longer see endless crosses from the wings or attackers blindly charging into the box. Instead, their attacking play was layered, fluid, and unpredictable.
Over the next three weekends, Manchester City faced a busy schedule. First, they swept aside Bolton Wanderers and then Southampton, while Arsenal unexpectedly stumbled with two draws. After the 34th league fixture, City maintained their momentum, delivering a resounding win that pushed Tottenham Hotspur deeper into crisis—hovering dangerously in 17th place and on the brink of relegation.
However, rather than being swept up in joy, the atmosphere at Manchester City grew tense as they stood on the brink of a historic moment!
