MANCHESTER, England - Manchester City will have to wait a little longer to be crowned Premier League champions after they were beaten 2-1 at home by Chelsea on Saturday.

Un penal a lo Panenka es el penal que todo jugador sueña con hacer algún día. Picar el balón suavecito, mientras el arquero rival se desparrama a un costado junto a sus ilusiones y esperanzas. Sergio Agüero pensó también que ejecutarlo ante Chelsea sería una forma perfecta para despedirse del Manchester City, regalando un título tal como el que hizo realidad en la temporada 2011-12 y por el cual es y será adorado.

With so many bids up for grabs across the continent, tracking the qualification process can be very difficult.
An American will win the men’s UEFA Champions League. It’s a bit unbelievable to type, read or say, but it’s true after a Christian Pulisic assist vs Real Madrid means Chelsea will face Zack Steffen’s Manchester City in the UCL final on May 29 in Istanbul.
No USMNT player has ever taken part in a Champions League final, and either Steffen or Pulisic will lift the big-eared trophy in just over three weeks.

El título de la Premier League roza los dedos del Manchester City. Hoy los Cityzens, con un exquisito Sergio Agüero, necesitaron apenas 82 segundos para liquidar su duelo ante Crystal Palace y ahora solo necesitan dos puntos en los próximos cuatro encuentros para poder abrazarlo con confianza y destapar las botellas de champagne.
