Manchester City finally made it back to the Champions League after 42 years. They defeated Tottenham Hotspur, their nemesis from last year, thanks to Peter Crouch's own goal. Now with only two rounds left in the league, Manchester City's target is to surpass Arsenal in third place and secure a spot in the Champions League without having to go through the preliminary qualifications. After the game, coach Mancini appeared extremely delighted. The arrival of the Champions League has indeed significantly lightened the burden on his shoulders.
From start to finish this season, Manchester City has basically never fallen out of the top four. Their Champions League spot is well-deserved. "Celebrate my players! Yes, I want to thank all the players because they have created a dream-like Premier League season," Mancini excitedly stated in an interview with Sky Sports. "We have finally secured our place in the top four teams in the league, of course, we must also perform well in the next two games."
As for himself personally, Mancini also felt relieved: "For me personally, this result is very important, and the sound of the final whistle became a very beautiful moment. I am sure that all our supporters, everyone who works for the club, will feel excited about this. For this goal, we have worked hard together for a year, now, it really is the time to reap the rewards."
Would Arsenal be overtaken by Manchester City? Mancini appeared quite modest: "I don't think, with only two rounds remaining, that we can still surpass Arsenal and rise to third place, but we will definitely try our best. The most important thing now is to prepare for the FA Cup final this weekend, we must give it our all and win the championship."
This season, Mancini had one regret, which was not advancing to the Europa League final. "I am very happy to secure a spot in the Champions League, but perhaps, I am a very greedy person, we could have entered another cup final, the Europa League, yes, we have that ability," the Italian continued to say. "I will always want to stay at Manchester City until I am satisfied."
