For this historic step, it was just a game for all ages. Manchester City reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in its history, but suggest the 0-0 draw against Dynamo Kiev not reluctant to go further in the near future.
Lift the trophy, of course, is what it really is. It is also the reason why the review of the city not exactly spacious reduced fears about the recent poor performance of England in the Champions League.
Manuel Pellegrini admitted after the game that "we take no risk", but the reality is that such a strong team, the city does not need a team of Ukraine as moderate as to be cautious. As rich as the competition Premier League, now it should not need to be so dependent, would have on a good train one quarterfinal.
In this sense, the city can open up new avenues for the club, but a disturbing trend continues for England. Pellegrini team are just the fourth held in English in order to reach the Champions League quarter-finals in the last five years. Of course, this led to much debate about whether the Premier League correct its deep richness, or - is reduced if the money is his intellectual level of competition, which means that the clubs do not have the same desire to innovate - even worse. This may be a reason why they thought it tactically in Europe.
Some in the Premier League think differently. A senior manager of the club told ESPN FC there is a feeling among the best teams that the "competition" energy of a team for the European competition a week SAPS.
This view seems a little convenient and easy, but back mainly because of the failures of the date to England before comprehensive race for the championship, where Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid match restlessly had results. Instead, it is the intensity of competition in the Premier League could actually offer a different explanation in this season.
It is not enough, because the best clubs in Europe fight after all. They also have unprecedented bad seasons in the league as well, and that's not just because of the impressive increase of Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Moreover, all these bad seasons appear below each for different reasons, but as a binding factor. It is possible that this is only the consequence of a collective change of great chance.
Arsenal, after all, only the modern Arsenal. in fact, they are a unique case, and have stagnated in the Premier League today as they were too complacent about the performance in the Champions League with the club management.
Arsene Wenger was the fact fault that she had dressed as Barcelona again as sensational, but ours is even remove in part to its inability due to the pain from time to time, or at the end of the second in the group. Make only them as they do in the league. This does not reflect the Premier League. It reflects the peculiarities of Arsenal, and their struggle to change something about themselves.
Chelsea is the opposite. They were in a state of almost constant change since Roman Abramovich the club in 2003 bought This is designed to end in 2013 with the return of Jose Mourinho, but these plans have been torn in December.
The natural expectation was to develop this young team Mourinho could be a senior European side who won the championship, suffering only historically plump, raise questions about the management style of the entire Portuguese. His season was abnormal. Anyway, do not forget that you are still better team Champions League England are in the last half decade, the only team to the semifinals in the time to achieve (victory in 2012).
Manchester United are also in a unique setting - and history - their own situation. They are still recovering from the removal of one of the greatest managers ever to Sir Alex Ferguson. This put a number of problems, but it now seems clear that even there to meet error with two management decisions. David Moyes was a disaster, and there is a debate about whether Louis van Gaal could be worse, mainly because he has not been achieved by United from a favorable draw in the group phase.
If they had called in 2013 one of the true elite coach in Europe, as Sir Alex for resignation, which could have radically different appearances enjoyed in Europe.
Of course, that is exactly what has to replace the city Pellegrini with Pep Guardiola.
Regardless of the debate on the problems of the Premier League, it is very clear that their top clubs are still far from the level of Barcelona or Bayern Munich.
City tried to answer this question, but by learning specifically looking for these clubs. They tried to copy their structure and concepts, and the name admired the director, who was responsible for both.
Barca former directors Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano Been Etihad as football director and CEO or even before it was announced that Guardiola would change Munich to Manchester in July.
Unlike the other three English teams in the Champions League, the city has to take a clear path to the top super clubs.
If they succeed, the Premier League is not so different from the Bundesliga or Liga at once. This, of course, remains to be seen.
One thing is clear at this time. All richest clubs in the Premier League are underperforming for much bigger reasons that Europeans tops to be better.
