Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakaae ana te kaiwhakahaere o Manchester City, a Manuel Pellegrini, kei te whawhai tana kapa ki te noho tonu ki ngā wāhi o te Champions League. Te āhua nei kua nui rawa te whenua i ngaro atu i a City ki a Chelsea i te whakataetae taitara o te Barclays Premier League, ā, kua arahina e to rātau āhua o nā tata nei ki tētahi atu āwangawanga, me ngā taha kei muri i a rātau e tere haere ana. Ka kitea pea e nga toa o mua i te tuawha o te waahi i mua i to raatau whakataetae e whai ake nei - i Crystal Palace i te Mane - mena ka pa ki a raatau nga hua i te mutunga o te wiki. Ko Manuel Pellegrini (pokapū) e ringihia ana te ringa ki a David Silva i te whakangungu o Manchester City.

E titiro ana a Frank Lampard (matau) ki te tākaro i tētahi tuku i a ia rāua ko ōna hoa kapa e whakamātauria ana i a rātou.
