Lucky Laporte lifts Carabao Cup kings Man City to yet another Wembley triumph

Oct 19, 2021
In the 81st minute of the Keirabao Cup final, Kevin De Bruyne (Kevin De Bruyne) took a free kick from Tottenham Hotspur and Emmerich Laporte ( Eymeric Laporte) probably shouldn't play at Wembley, but Manchester City won't care.

Laporte rose to the top nod, defeated Pep Guardiola's outstanding performance and became De Bruyne's goal over Hugo Lloris. The defender played Scored the only goal of the game.
Manchester City are facing a nightmare. 30 minutes of overtime is the last thing they wanted three days before their first leg in the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.

But due to Laporte's late intervention, as the season entered the final journey, they now have the first of three trophies.

However, the Spurs felt a little difficult after being caught up by Lucas Mora twice in the first half, and this was the only way he could prevent the Brazilian international from withdrawing him.

Normally, both offenses deserve a yellow card, but referee Paul Tierney's reservation only penalized the second offense.

If he receives a yellow card for the first time, will he face a second challenge? This question will not be answered, but this is unlikely to reassure fans in North London.
We will never know if John Stones was not sent to Aston Villa on Wednesday, whether Laporte would start here.

Therefore, the England international missed the game due to suspension, which allowed Laporte to be promoted one season later. In this season, due to Stones’ comeback and Ruben Diaz’s arrival, he was forced to Watch the game on the sidelines.

His brutal retreat to Lucas explains why he is no longer the mid-stream tay pillar once under Guardiola's leadership.

In other words, it will be Laporte who is at the top of the history books. This player has ensured that the crazy love between Manchester City and the Carabao Cup continues.

While winning the trophy for the fourth consecutive season, they have now reached the record for Liverpool to win consecutive championships in the 1980s, and Guardiola is now the most successful co-manager in the history of the game.

Manchester City last lost the Carabao Cup in October 2016, and captain Fernandinho (who has won the trophy with his companion Sergio Aguero) has now six times. Win the championship.

The joy of winning the trophy in front of the 2,000 City Fan fans in the stadium was eased, and they did not have to play for 30 minutes after the first half of the game that was supposed to be wrapped up.
Toby Alderweireld twice used Raheem Sterling's blocks and Phil Foden's close-range efforts to rescue Tottenham Thorn, the latter was deflected to the post.

At the same time, Riyad Mahrez was only one step away from the two deadlocks, and Hugo Lloris was able to get rid of Joao Cancelo's efforts brilliantly. The Spurs (the only shooter was Giovanni Lo Celso) survived halftime.

Someone in the Spurs camp suggested that Lily White had returned to the Mauricio Pochettino style of interim manager Ryan Mason.

It seems that before Jose Mourinho was fired six days ago, the "parked" football that Spurs fans disliked had disappeared, and its adventurous style had increased slightly.

However, in the game against Manchester City, Mason's allegations found that it was almost impossible to get rid of half in the opening 45 minutes, because Lloris spent half an hour wasting time to breathe for his teammates.

As the game progressed, the Spurs improved, but Guardiola may have used this conflict as a PSG game against Pochettino on Wednesday 

More than a year ago, the boss of Manchester City adopted a similar fluid system and performed well against Real Madrid against the Bernabeu. This time it was De Bruyne and Foden who took turns to fill the forward position because Tottenham failed to beat the press.

PSG certainly has better players. Guardiola hopes his defender can handle Neymar and Kibba Mbappé better than Laporte's performance against Lucas.

However, the celebrations with the fans throughout the day showed that they did not worry about this until Monday morning.
