Después de la amarga derrota en la final de la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf ante Seattle Sounders y un Clausura 2022 privado de playoffs, la Lillineta comienza a destartalarse.
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City may appear to be a relentless winning-machine, but manager Pep Guardiola wants his side's legacy to be that their period of Premier League dominance was "fun" as the team close in on their sixth title.
City lead the standings on 89 points, three ahead of Liverpool with two games to play. Thanks to their superior goal difference, a win against West Ham United on Sunday would all but assure them of a second successive league triumph.
Atlas derrotó de visita a Chivas y se quedó con el primer round de los cuartos de final del Apertura 2022. Los rojinegros – actuales campeones del fútbol mexicano – rescataron el valioso botín desde el Estadio Akron gracias a un doblete del canterano Jeremy Márquez y un buen par de tapadas del arquero colombiano Camilo Vargas, quien incluso no dudó en ofrecer sus partes nobles en sacrificio del trabajo colectivo.
Real Madrid smashed Levante 6-0 to confirm Levante’s relegation on Thursday. Vini Jr. had three goals and Luka Modrić had three assists. For me, the best play of the game was the Karim Benzema assist to Vini Jr. for the fifth, the Frenchman going full Gumby-legs to set up the Brazilian.
Atlas, actual campeón del fútbol mexicano, aparece en cuartos de final como el primer obstáculo de Chivas en su sueño por obtener el Clasura 2022. Sin embargo, su enemigo número uno en el reino tapatío no será el único ni el más poderoso rival al que le tocará enfrentar.

Federico Viñas apenas alcanzó a jugar 15 minutos en la visita del América al Puebla, en el duelo de ida de los cuartos de final del Clausura 2022.

Weston McKennie and Juventus will finish the 2021-22 season without a trophy. Ivan Perišić made sure of it with two well-taken goals — one with each foot — in extra time as Inter Milan claimed the Coppa Italia 4-2 on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
In a wild, back-and-forth match that saw Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri shown a red card, Inter took full advantage of two penalty kicks and dominated extra time to claim its eighth Coppa Italia, trailing only Juventus (14) and Roma (9) for most all time.
Manchester City reopened its three-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table Wednesday with a 5-1 away win over Wolves courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne's hat trick inside 24 minutes before the Belgian added a fourth on the hour mark. Raheem Sterling completed the scoring for City in the 84th.
In terms of minutes on the clock, De Bruyne's hat trick was the third earliest in PL history.

Christian Pulisic has started two Premier League games in a row for Chelsea and has picked up an assist and a goal. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel had repeatedly snubbed Pulisic from the starting 11 for the past two months.

Pulisic’s goal was Chelsea’s second in a 3-0 victory on Wednesday.
