Fernandinho reacted to his former Manchester City side beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Tuesday.
All eyes were on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to discover whether Spurs could stop Manchester City from potentially winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
City, much like Arsenal have now taken the title race to the final day and look like favourites to be crowned champions.
Fernandinho reacts to Manchester City beating Tottenham
Erling Haaland scored a decisive brace against Tottenham to make the task relatively straightforward for City on Sunday — defeat West Ham United and become Premier League champions.
Considering Ange Postecoglou’s side created a whole host of chances, an upset seemed like it was written in the stars during the game.
William Saliba’s pre-match rationale of the Lilywhites players being fired up for the contest to secure Champions League qualification seemingly came true.
But as Manchester City got over the line against Tottenham, Fernandinho wrote on X: “One step away from making history, well done @ManCity.”
The Brazilian international captained City to two league titles before they won their third successive one last season and could now do so once again this campaign.
What Fernandinho stated will motivate the Man City players
After undergoing the difficult task of beating Tottenham, the Manchester City players will be feeling exactly what Fernandinho stated.
This City team are one step away from making history and potentially cementing their status as the greatest English club side of all time.
Since the Sky Blues’ 4-0 thumping of Fulham, they must have felt the pressure of defeating Spurs amidst the noise that surrounded the game.
Now, City return to the Etihad Stadium with the chance to defeat West Ham and become the first English side to win four league titles — a prospect that will motivate them.
It seemed like the Manchester City players channelled the spirit of Fernandinho against Tottenham by putting it all on the line against Tottenham on Tuesday.
Their efforts will be remembered for years to come if they get over the finish line on the weekend.
