Manchester City propose similar scores, but this time different feels. After a draw at Norwich City on Saturday in the men's Manuel Pellegrini saw his title chances in the Premier League do not have another option, one that can be fatal.
There is still time, of course, provided that the time has come, the city retains the hope. But with nine games to sit in the 2015-16 season, the Sky Blues nine points at the top of the table for the room.
In other words, it is not only a remote possibility. At this point, the city needs a miracle.
Michael Regan / Getty Images It has happened before, of course. Four years, the City manager Roberto Mancini had an eight-point deficit with six games remaining. However, with six wins in a row to beat and a winning time discount memorable Sergio Aguero on the last day Team rivals Manchester United to the title of the season late goal difference.
Therefore, it is possible, no matter how unlikely. But for those who pay attention, is beyond this season. There are four, Manchester City were great on the road and almost unassailable at home (18 of their 19 games to win). Also, it is not the case, this time lost with the Sky Blues four times and Etihad Stadium on average only a goal a game in his travels, ESPN FC.

In the destruction of almost forced the hopes of the city, Rob Pollard wrote to the Manchester Evening News: "It's a catastrophic result for the city is safe and secure about the title is now calm talk, have not recovered to secure Premier League games. more than five months and just did not deserve to win the championship. "
An immediate concern could be the West Ham United. Charging takes up on the table, Slaven Bilić men are only two points of the city and the last Champions League Premier League. The title could actually disappeared, but Europe is still struggling.
So what goes wrong? Injuries have a terrible toll, but on Saturday, the problem was reduced to something else. Dominating possession from beginning to end, the city has not been able to transform this supremacy into clear chances. Norwich was shot at goal not notching, but goalkeeper John Ruddy was not particularly busy with little effort in the first half of Aguero.
Michael Regan / Getty Images Ask to break the stubborn resistance of Norwich City, it could not find a way through. Wilfried Bony, starting before Kelechi Iheanacho, was anonymous, and beaten hosts at every opportunity David Silva. Jesus Navas provided width and posed a threat, but could not score produce with his cross from the right.
As the back of the city provides excellent performance from captain Vincent Kompany. But to stay in the title race, visitors need to make a difference at the other end of the field. On this day, at least, Pellegrini and the city are not firepower.
"Of course, we need to create more in the final third," said Pellegrini BBC. "We were at the front static. Every time you drop points, it is more difficult, but you always have to think in a positive way. We always try to win the title, as it is mathematically possible."
Pellegrini is the right to keep the faith, but also mathematics is able to save to the options not for the city name much more Banderas.
