El Manchester City sigue flying in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s team has forgotten to lose. Since November 21, when they fell (2-0) in the Tottenham field, the Sky Blues have not slipped. 20 games without losses in all competitions, 13 in Premier, that put them in a privileged position. They are going for the 28 record they added between April and December 2017. They stopped conjugating the verb lose more than two months ago. Since then, victories are customary.
The Citizens won (0-2) at Burnley and continue to extend their winning streak. There are already 13 consecutive wins among all the tournaments, already the best streak in its entire centennial history. Nine of them have been in Premier placing them at the top three points ahead of their Manchester United neighbors … with one game less. They have come back from the middle of the table to the top getting strong in the lead. A mighty man supported by his defensive fortress. They have chained six league games without conceding. Hudson-Odoi was the last to beat Ederson in the 1-3 from City at Stamford Bridge to Chelsea … on January 3! An unstoppable month.
Top Burnley, Pep Guardiola’s team survived the centers and local anti-aircraft guns. They did not flinch. The ‘Clarets’ did not bite. They were anesthetized by the visiting control that Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Gndogan imposed … And without De Bruyne! Gabriel Jesus, after three minutes, and Sterling, after assistance from a superlative German media, they put City 0-2 before the break. The Englishman accumulates 99 goals and 55 passes on goal at the command of Pep. He is their most decisive footballer. The Citizens were so superior that they hardly took any chances. And Pope kept the score from being even wider. The leader did not suffer at Turf Moor and faces his visit to Anfield on Sunday with the number 1 on his back. They can deliver a coup of authority in Liverpool. They scare.
