The clash between two of the most revolutionaries coaches in soccer’s recent history, Pep Guardiola for Manchester City and Marcelo “El Loco” Bielsa for Leeds United, concluded with the surprising result of 7-0, that allowed Citizens to maintain the edge of the Premier League, acquiring an advantage of four points over Liverpool.

Only half an hour of game was enough for Manchester City to secure the result: Phil Foden opened the score after eight minutes, followed by an unusual header (at least, for him) by Jack Grealish and the first goal since mid-October by Kevin De Bruyne.

The music didn’t change in the second-half, with Ryhad Mahrez, De Bruyne, again, with a wonderful strike from distance, John Stones and Nathan Aké to conclude the job.

The large defeat, and the critical situation of their team, didn’t seem to intimidate that much Peacocks’ supporters, that kept cheering and sustaining their team until the final whistle, showing, one more time, the must wonderful side of soccer: people that love it.
