In one of the matches of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League Manchester City at its stadium takes Basel. Manchester City for the first time in its football history can become the owner of three trophies at once for the season, and, according to the coach himself, the victory in the Premier League is in the first place. Indeed, from the very beginning of the internal tournament, the townspeople showed flashing football and firmly occupied the leading positions by the eighth round. Since the beginning of October, the advantage of the City has grown, as in leaps and bounds, so it is not surprising that the club with a catastrophic margin is ahead of its closest pursuers Liverpool and Manchester United, preparing for the triumph. In the last round of the Premier League, the townspeople accepted in their field the current Chelsea championship, which for almost two months already does not show a clear game and falls lower and lower on the standings. That meeting began at a low pace and the guests even had a few moments at the gates of Claudio Bravo. However, the entire first half was dominated by a relatively peaceful atmosphere, but on the 46th minute Bernard Silva with the transfer of David Silva was able to open an account. Further, the game was dried, and the City won over the aristocrats a second victory in the championship (both 1: 0). In addition, it is worth noting that the hosts became the owners of the English League Cup, winning in the final at gunners from Arsenal with a score of 3: 0. It is important that in the next match Manchester City again faced with Arsenal already in the next round of the Premier League and again won 3-0.

In the FA Cup, the citizens were disappointed, as the club had to leave the tournament due to a defeat from the less promising club Wigan Athletic (0: 1). Despite such an unfortunate failure, the mentor of the townspeople still plans to lead the City to hegemony in the Premier League, but for this the club will need additional funds to attract the top players of the new generation. For example, Sergio Aguero, who did not particularly remember the match with Chelsea, although he extended the contract with the club, but is not so bright. The footballer himself understands that every year his authority in the transfer market dims. Another thing less experienced, but dynamic forwards in the person of Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus entered the orbit of interests of other European grandees. In the upcoming match against Basel, Manchester will obviously lack motivation to win, but despite the advantage, after the first away match in Switzerland, the English will not play for a draw, but will give their fans a football holiday.

As for the team of guests, Basel is the champions of Switzerland and, according to the everyday routine, represents its country every year in the Champions League. As part of the domestic championship, Basel has no competitors, so it is forced to increase its potential in the European arena. In the group stage of the Champions League, the wards of Rafael Vicki will get into a rather difficult quartet and in the company with Manchester United, CSKA and Benfica managed to take the second place and go to the playoffs. Particularly bright matches Basel were given at the home stadium, when in the face-to-face meetings were able to beat Manchester United (1: 0) and the Portuguese from Benfica (5-0). In addition, in the first round in a duel with CSKA Moscow in Moscow, Swiss footballers won, winning CSKA away 2: 0. It is possible that it was this victory that gave the club a push in the advantage over the Russians on points and the passage to the 1/8 finals.

It is important that the guests try to act with an emphasis on the attack, but here in the match with Manchester City everything was accurate to the turn. Despite home advantage, Basel looked pretty faded, for which he received a quick goal into his own net. Further, the townspeople tried to increase the advantage and eventually nailed in the opponent's goal three more goals (4: 0).
