Even if Manchester City choose to play with their second team, they will still be able to win Chelsea. Chelsea is not a team that can stand Manchester City as it is. That's why Pep Guardiola find it worth while to rest Kelvin De Bruyne and Haaland since they have already won the premier league and also in the finals of champions league. Rest their key players will do them good for the champion league match against Inter.
What Chelsea need is a good coach that utilize their players in a better way not more players in additions to the ones they have. There no reports of Chelsea moving to sign Neymar into the team.
I have to give it to Pep Gardiola and Manchester City for a job well done. Congratulations to them on winning the English premier league and it is well deserved. One of their treble trophy target has been achieved, now their focus would be turned to FA cup and UEFA champions league. City played it's second 11 team and won against the struggling Chelsea side. I just hope we're going to see a brand new version and rejuvenated Chelsea next season because this particular Chelsea has finished. 😄
I attempted to examine Manchester City's fixtures following their match against Chelsea in order to determine the last time they lost a game. However, I was unable to find any losses in their recent history, this is not because they haven't suffered any defeats in the past few months; rather, the matches they have won overshadowed any losses and were all marked with green checkmarks.
I was amazed by how they managed to turn things around towards the end of the season, as for Chelsea, I couldn't help but feel disappointed in them. Pep decided to bench key players from Manchester City to showcase their dominance in the English league, and Chelsea fell right into his strategy. I can only wonder how the game would have unfolded if Pep had chosen to start the tough players from the beginning.
