In the studio after the match, the former Liverpool and Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy expert, and when the host Scott Minto asked Bellamy if Manchester City with avancementet would go after the trophy, came the answer:
– of Course they will it but they will meet Burton. Good to see Burton go on, he said.
the Problem is just, that at that time – at least officially – has not been drawn to the semi-finals, which the host also made aware of.
