A lot of had criticised that the meeting of gone in London had had more intensity that occasions, but Manchester City and Tottenham saved it to him everything for the turn of Champions. In the Etihad Stadium lived a party of crazy that went 2-2 in the minute 11, and that until the last second of the discount transitó in the middle of an authentic Russian mountain. Rain of goals, controversial, VAR... And an incomparable emotion that leaves to the 'spurs' as semifinalist.

In hardly 4 minutes, Raheem Sterling had equalised the crossing, with an action marks of the house that confirmed that both applicants wanted to struggle to open grave. Typical action of the English by left band, diagonal to open hollow and derechazo with thread to the that could not answer Hugo Lloris. It painted well for Pep Guardiola that warned that it would go out to win, but went to answer the ones of Mauritius Pochettino.

Two errors of Aymeric Laporte enabled to Sound Heung-Ming, that gave retorts it with two latigazos that voltearon immediately the marker. In the first, failed the central and Ederson, that could not divert a very centred shot of the Korean. In the second, went the tip the one who looked for the cosquillas to the guardameta, with another attempt more enroscado that equally finish besando the network.

The initial instants were being of infarct, and in another blink arrived the equalised of the 'sky blues'. This time from the right profile the one who traced the diagonal was Bernardo Silva, whose shot hit with fortune against the legs of Danny Rose and poisoned a balloon that left seated to the cancerbero and rebasó mansamente the line.

After the artificial fires there was truce, although no by long. It decided the City that it was necessary to throw of possession to treat to recover the advantage, and after a warning of David Silva attained it. Played of tiralíneas between Bernardo that yielded of heel for Kevin Of Bruyne so that this centred raso and hard to the second stick, where this time Sterling only had to push.

In the trip until the rest the most notable was the injury of Moussa Sissoko, that tried to hold but forced to Pochettino to take out to the only acting of his bench that cost like attacker. It adjust in his diagram and Fernando Llorente to the green, before they Are detained the hearts of the bloated local with a pelotazo placed that left near of the wood. 

The VAR and the Tottenham sentence to the City

The go through changing rooms did not change in at all the guion of the clash, and the City went back in the resumption had to put in difficulties to Lloris. They had it again Sterling, Bernardo Silva and the Kun Agüero, although between the errors of the attackers and the tarpaulin of the Frenchman there was not, for the moment, more movements in the electronic, because like this it wanted it equally an Ederson that had to brake to Llorente.

Almost to the hour of party burst in joy the Etihad, because this time yes arrived a so much of Agüero that put in tray the pass. The 4-2 was born in Ilkay Gündogan, that yielded the spherical to an Of Bruyne that went back to open the pot of the essences. The midfield player left in good position to an ariete like the Argentinian, that to which saw a gap no thought it to him and fusiló to the goalkeeper.

After some instants in which the Tottenham remained noqueado, went back to equalise the strengths, and arrived a controversy that marked the crossing. A kickoff of corner put of self-evident the threat that supposed the 'spurs' by high, although the VAR had to review in depth the played because Llorente could strike with the hand before sending the balloon at the end of the meshes.

The referees gave green light to the target and were the ones of Manchester those that were against the ropes, because they won of one but was not sufficient. It played it to him Guardiola with Sané and ready was to go out him well, but Gündogan sent to the clouds a good prolongation of the germano. As it could not be of another form, the duel finish with wrap, in a new intervention of the technology.

There was explosion 'citizen' in the minute 93, but saw interrupted by the VAR. Christian Eriksen yielded a very dangerous pass backwards and his sending brushed to Bernardo Silva, what was sufficient to leave in position antirreglamentaria to Agüero and without validity the goal of Sterling. With blood sweat, tears and defeat, the Tottenham is in semifinals, in which it will not appear the City.
