The final 0:4 was shaped by Julián Alvarez, who scored a quarter of an hour after the break and finally killed the enthusiasm of De Dzerby’s “seagulls”.
With the victory, the champions collected 76 points in their assets and displaced Liverpool from the second place, which has 74. Arsenal is the leader with 77 points, but the “citizens” still have a game less.
