On the 17th Beijing time, a new round of matches in Europe's top five leagues has begun, and Manchester City, which has not performed well in recent seasons, has once again surprised people, and they were forced to draw by Crystal Palace after two goalsChelsea easily beat their deputy. On the Spanish side, the same goes for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Manchester City 2-2 Crystal Palace.
Manchester City managed to beat Luton Town in their last game to end a four-game winning streak, and this time they hosted a losing back-to-back Crystal Palace side in another heavy defeat. Throughout the game, Manchester City had a total of 19 shots on goal with 9 on target, a whopping 74% of the total goals scored. Jack Grealish opened the scoring for the first time in the half-time, his first three Premier League goalsYoung player Rico Lewis also scored his first goal of the league in the second half.
Just when they thought City could lead until the end of the game, things changed dramatically when Schlupp burst into the box with Dias on 76 minutes and then played the ball to Maatsen to equalise. Mattson scored again in the fifth minute of stoppage time when he caused a foul by Foden in the box, and the Prince of Manchester City made a late mistake and Olise did not miss a single shot to force Palace to a draw. Manchester City have lost home advantage and remain fourth after a game in hand, and if Liverpool win this time, then the Blues will be six points behind.
Chelsea - 2-0
After two successive defeats, Chelsea returned to Stamford Bridge to take on bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United, where they missed a number of chances and even missed a few mistakes in the first half, with Jacquesson and Mykhailo Mudryk continuing their miserable performances up front. Fortunately, Palmer, who moved from Manchester City in the summer window, was once again a key player in the team, and on 54 minutes, he played the ball up front, and then Raheem Sterling made a perfect pass and Palmer assisted from the flank. Seven minutes later, he again created a great danger with a pass and sent it to Jacquesson before the Sheffield goalkeeper could catch the ball for a 2-0 victory.
Valencia 1 - Barcelona.
For Spain, Barcelona have not been in good form in recent times, being beaten by Girona and then losing to Antwerp in midweek, which has put Xavi under even more pressure. This time, however, Barcelona were a big disappointment when they faced Valencia. Lewandowski didn't play as well as he should, Raphinha played a solo flight, and De Jong allowed Felix to score a goal on 55 minutes thanks to his excellent possession. In the 70th minute, several defenders on the line of the Barcelona penalty area were brought down, and Guilliamont scored a world wave to tie the score.
Barcelona have six points to Girona after a game in hand, while on Christmas Eve, Barcelona face lower-placed Almeria and if they fail to win this round, Xavi's place will be replaced in the winter window.
Bilbao 2 - Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both out of the tournament and should be the happiest for first-placed Girona and Real Madrid;Bilbao's win is three points behind Barcelona and two points behind Atletico Madrid.
