The city awakens as the season draws to a close, and it seems Erling Haaland has also sprung to life after a somewhat challenging period over the last two months.
However, in the first half of the match, he dominated all the action on the field. The Norwegian first put the Citizens ahead in the 39th minute with a penalty goal, which was conceded by Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool conceded the second goal at the worst possible moment. In the second minute of added time, Haaland doubled the home team's lead after an assist from Antoine Semenyo.
The City rhapsody continued at the start of the second half. The assistant for the second goal, Semenyo, this time beautifully converted an assist from Rayan Cherki to make it 3-0 in the 49th minute.
Very quickly, Haaland completed his hat-trick, this time with an assist from Nice O'Reilly.
Liverpool had a chance to soften the defeat, but Mohamed Salah missed a penalty.
It ended 4-0, making Manchester City the first FA Cup semifinalist. Today, two more matches await us, with Chelsea and Arsenal being strong favorites to join the top four teams in the world's oldest football competition.
Result and scorers: Manchester City - Liverpool 4:0 (Haaland 39', 45+2', 57' Semenyo 49')
