The match between Liverpool and Newcastle United would be played on Monday night.
The news of Manchester City's 3: 3 draw with Sunderland on Sunday was still fermenting, because there was a follow-up incident that happened in Manchester City's locker room.
Manchester City's hopes of winning the title were once again reduced.
During the match, Balotelli and Kolarov fought for the right to take a free kick and clashed with many of their teammates.
However, Balotelli was once again involved in the center of another storm. The Daily Star revealed that he had a fight with Yaya Toure in the locker room after the match.
According to the Daily Star, the conflict happened after the match with Sunderland on Sunday. In the end, Balotelli and Yaya Toure were separated by Kolo Toure.
According to the newspaper, at that time, Yaya Toure criticized Balotelli's performance in the match. Balotelli expressed that he could not accept it, and the two immediately had a fierce fight.
During the match, Balotelli had already fought with Kolarov for the right to take a free kick and clashed with many of his teammates, including De Jong and Kompany.
It was said that Balotelli could face a fine of up to £160,000 from the club.
The most serious consequence was that the "hothead" could face the fate of being purged.
The Daily Star claimed that Mancini had lost his patience with Balotelli and that Balotelli might be sold by Manchester City for £24 million, which was the same price that Manchester City had paid for him in the first place.
The Daily Telegraph also confirmed the news. The newspaper said that after a series of undisciplined performances, as an Italian compatriot, Balotelli made Mancini feel more and more helpless.
Although Manchester City might not take the initiative to sell Balotelli, an insider of the club said that once they received a significant offer, the club would be willing to discuss the Italian's future. Balotelli's agent, Raiola, would also actively seek an olive branch from other clubs.
Manchester United and Liverpool were naturally happy to hear about problems in Manchester City.
Just like in the players' tunnel before the match on Monday night, when Qin Xiong and Gerard were talking about the "farce" in Manchester City, whether it was Agüero's injury or Balotelli's infighting, Qin Xiong shrugged and said, "Let them be."
Newcastle United was pursuing something at home. They wanted to enter Europe, but Liverpool played extremely fiercely in the away game.
Suarez, who had been released from suspension, was in top form, contributing a goal and two assists in the game.
Qin Xiong, on the other hand, hit two!
Liverpool defeated Newcastle United by 3: 0 in the away game and continued to lead the table.
There were seven rounds left in the league.
Liverpool 72 points.
Manchester United 72 points.
Manchester City 68 points.
Tottenham 58 points 58
Arsenal 55 points 55
Chelsea 53 points
Newcastle United 49 points.
After Liverpool's victory over Newcastle United, they had almost kicked Newcastle United out of the European competition!
Newcastle United was nine points away from Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place. There was little hope of reversing this gap in the last seven rounds. In addition, there were still Arsenal and Chelsea ahead of them. The possibility of reversing the top three at the same time was too low.
There might still be some hope for a ticket to the Europa League. After all, Newcastle United was only six points away from Arsenal in fifth place.
The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was in the middle of the week.
Liverpool held a two-goal lead, and both of them were away goals, which made Comain's line-up and tactical choice extremely easy.
Liverpool faced Benfica at home. They skillfully controlled the situation on the field and launched a wave-like attack on Benfica's goal.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Qin Xiong received Cabaye in the penalty area and directly put the ball into Benfica's goal with a tricky push shot.
When Liverpool took a 3: 0 lead, all the Red Army fans thought the team would easily advance to the Champions League semi-finals.
In fact, it was indeed so. Benfica found it difficult to shake Liverpool's defensive line.
But something that worried and shocked everyone happened.
Qin Xiong was injured!
In a scramble with the Benfica defender, Qin Xiong sprained his foot when he landed.
When he limped off the field, countless Liverpool fans could not help but put their hands on their chests and looked worried.
In the end, Liverpool advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with a total score of 4: 0.
But compared to this result, people were more concerned about Qin Xiong's injury after the game.
Comain said with a serious expression at the post-game press conference, "I talked to the team doctor about Qin Xiong's injury as soon as possible. The team doctor's answer is that Qin Xiong's injury is not serious. He will only be out for two weeks at most. We don't need to panic. The team will work hard to move forward and wait for Qin Xiong's return. He will be our most important player in the final stage of the season."
Qin Xiong did not know whether to laugh or cry. He only suffered a minor injury, but on his official website's message board and the homepage of major social media accounts, thousands of fans left messages wishing him a speedy recovery. It was as if he had a terminal illness and had to fight hard against the grim reaper …
The Champions League semi-finals broke out in the middle of the week!
Chelsea led by Di Matteo actually eliminated the La Liga powerhouse Barcelona!
This made Qin Xiong and Messi's "See you in the Champions League" at the Ballon d 'Or award ceremony come to nothing, at least not this season!
The Champions League semi-finals were out.
England's Chelsea and Liverpool.
Germany's Bayern Munich.
La Liga's Real Madrid.
In the semifinals draw, the defending champions Liverpool and Chelsea were drawn together.
Real Madrid led by Mourinho and Bayern Munich led by Heinrich Heynckes were another highlight of the match.
Liverpool was looking forward to Qin Xiong's return before the Champions League semi-finals. At least according to Liverpool's official statement, Qin Xiong was out of action for two weeks, so he would be able to return before the Champions League semi-finals. However, when it came to injuries, no one could guarantee that it would be accurate.
After the Champions League game, Liverpool, without Qin Xiong, failed to beat Aston Villa at home when they returned to the league tournament.
Aston Villa started the season high and went down low. As they played, they became a team to avoid relegation and had to fight to avoid relegation.
In Anfield, they engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Red Army. Aston Villa, who swore to defend the goal with their lives, got a valuable draw.
Manchester United, who had no worries and focused on the league tournament, won 2: 0 at home against Queen's Park Rangers. They overtook Liverpool in the standings and topped the standings for the first time this season!
Tottenham Hotspur also suffered at the Stadium of Light and were forced into a 0: 0 draw by Sunderland.
Sunderland really had the qualities of a giant killer this season.
Chelsea took all three points from the desireless Wigan Athletic at Stamford Bridge and defeated their opponent 2: 1.
The highlight of this round would be Arsenal's game against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium!
Arsenal had a chance to reverse Tottenham Hotspur and return to the top four, while Manchester City had a chance to shorten the gap between them and Liverpool!
The match between the strong was on the verge of breaking out.
