Manchester City will try everything possible to make sure they get into the top4 since they are no longer part of the title race this season but one thing to note is the level of seriousness in the team right now because from their performance yesterday even after scoring 5 goals they were not satisfied like they were playing like a team that is angry that is how a team should perform especially when they have failed to do well in the season.
For Arsenal, they tried to draw the game because for a team that has a big match this week against Real Madrid losing the league match will not be a problem for the team since they are not fighting for the league title against Liverpool again but they need to defend their 3 goals advantage against the best team in the history of champions league Real Madrid.
If City are punished in any way (look at the point deductions last season that were applied to Everton and Nottingham) then they won't even be close to the Eurocup zone. I'm glad that even without this penalty City are now teetering on the brink of getting into the Champions League (this year it's 5 places instead of 4) but still at least some punishment should be applied to them?
As for Real, yes, they are the best in history but far from the best this year. This does not change the fact that Arsenal are losing the race shamefully.
