Manchester City, on the day of Rodrigo Hernández's return after eight months of absence, thrashed Bournemouth 3-1 and caressed the classification for the next Champions League.
Those of Pep Guardiola will be worth a draw on the last day to ensure the pass to the maximum continental competition, since in a hypothetical 69 -point draw they have a better scoring difference than Newcastle United, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
A triumph against Fulham on Sunday will confirm makeup to an Aciaga season and that can only be redirected with that access to the 'Champions' and perhaps with a good performance in the next FIFA Club World Cup that begins on June 14.
In that championship will be Rodrigo Hernández, who played on Tuesday his first minutes since that damn September afternoon in which a crossed ligament was broken in a draw against Arsenal.
The Spanish Golden Ball had been left for eight months and has reappeared just in time to lead its team to the Champions League and direct it in the United States World Cup.
Rodri, who played the last ten, was the second great protagonist of the night, behind Kevin de Bruyne in his last performance in the Etihad Stadium. The Belgian player received his well -deserved tribute with a spectacular typhus and a delivered stadium that will soon dedicate a statue like those of David Silva, Vincent Kompany and Sergio Agüero.
And to celebrate it, the Etihad witnessed one of the best goals of the season. An Omar Marmoush missile from thirty meters that entered directly through a squad of Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Egyptian had done the most difficult, get the City out of the tasteless moment in which it is submerged.
Bruyne stayed with honey on the lips of taste a goal and failed somewhat singing, under the goal and without archer, sending the ball to the crossbar, while Evanilson corresponded with a shot to a stick a few moments later.
That forgiveness of the Brazilian striker preceded Bernardo Silva. Ilkay Gündogan, as if it were one end, took Dean Huijsen to the bottom line and left him nailed with a back pass that allowed the entrance of Bernardo Silva from behind and the definition of the Portuguese to the first stick.
Despite the 2-0, the City found a way to complicate the existence, the usual tonic of the season, and Mateo Kovacic was 'self-examination' by grabbing Evanilson when he left only towards the goal after an erratic pass of Gvardiol.
However, the tremor of the legs lasted little to the City because Lewis Cook took Nico González with a very dangerous entrance and the referee expelled him.
Guardiola was able to breathe calm, the City fasted the victory with a goal by Nico González in the 90th minute and now depends on himself. If he wins the Fulham, he will be in the next Champions League.
For the Bournemouth, which already cut over the horn in the last thirty seconds through Jebbison, this is the definitive confirmation that next year will not go to Europe because it is already impossible to reach eighth place.
