Chapter 646 No Suspense
Chapter 657 No suspense

The cheers at the Etihad Stadium have never stopped!
After taking the lead, the situation of the game did not change much!

Real Madrid has a dominant ball possession rate. This is because Manchester City took the initiative to give up the frontcourt to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid's offensive organization seems helpless in the face of Manchester City's tight defense!
Instead, Manchester City constantly threatened Real Madrid's goal with counterattacks!

Almost every counterattack of Manchester City can always make Real Madrid fans feel tight.

If it weren't for Casillas' wonderful performances, Real Madrid would have fallen behind by two goals.

Ancelotti doesn't have much to do with this situation, he has no room for adjustment.

Ten players are already at an absolute disadvantage. It would be fine if Real Madrid were ahead, but now that Real Madrid is behind, it will be difficult for them to score goals.

Thinking about it now, if Real Madrid could seize the opportunity in the first round of the match between the two sides, Real Madrid would not have to be so passive now.

But where in this world are there so many ifs?

It is precisely because Manchester City won the first leg that they were able to put up such a formation at their home court, and Real Madrid had no choice but to continue to attack.

Now Real Madrid is one goal behind. If they don't find a way to equalize the score as soon as possible, in the second half, the consequences of missing one player will be more serious-the physical fitness of Real Madrid players will be more severely tested.

Real Madrid's players also know this, so in the next step, they have to press hard and strive for goals, even if the backcourt is empty, they can't take care of it.

Real Madrid kept making crosses or long-range shots, while Manchester City counterattacked as soon as they had a chance. Real Madrid could only follow back to defend desperately, even if it was a foul, they had to stop their opponents.

Knowing that if things go on like this, as long as Manchester City seizes a chance to counterattack, Real Madrid can completely lose the possibility of pulling back, and Ancelotti can only acquiesce in the team's current performance.

Ancelotti is betting.

Now he can only hope that Real Madrid's stars can have a flash of inspiration and help Real Madrid score early!

Game No. 40 minutes, only 5 minutes left in the first half to end.

A quick counterattack by Manchester City just now almost made contact with Griezmann in the frontcourt. Fortunately, Casillas struck out in time and kicked the ball to the frontcourt. Otherwise, Manchester City just now would have been a single-handed opportunity.

But this time Casillas's ball was pushed back to the middle circle by Kompany.Eriksson didn't stop the ball and flicked the ball to the side with his left foot. Hazard made an inward cut. As a result, he gave up the ball and passed Arbeloa all at once!

"Manchester City two on two!!!"

When Hazard dribbles forward at high speed, Griezmann is also in the frontcourt.

Real Madrid only had two defensive players, Ramos and Pepe, in the backcourt. Of course, Casillas rushed to the goal.

Because he was worried that Hazard would hang the door directly.

Hazard originally planned to hang the door, but he gave up when he saw Casillas's speed of returning to defense. Now is a great opportunity, and there is no need to deal with the low success rate of hanging the door.

He dribbled forward, Griezmann was responding, Ramos and Pepe were defending, and the Real Madrid players in the frontcourt hadn't had time to come back yet!

The second sophomore in the frontcourt!
This is another excellent counterattack opportunity for Manchester City!

Every time Hazard touches the ball, it seems to be an amplified signal of cheers. The cheers of the Etihad Stadium are like a rocket accelerating, and the sound shakes the stadium.

Griezmann and Hazard ran a cross, and when Griezmann appeared in the left penalty area, Hazard's pass was just right!

boom! !

The sound of the scene swept across the four directions like an explosion!
"Griezmann!! Griezmann got the ball in the box!! He faced Casillas directly!!!"

Letkinson grabs the microphone and shouts! ! !
"Griezmann entered the penalty area! What is Ramos doing!? Stop him!!!"

The commentator in Madrid roared anxiously, he couldn't even let himself run down from the commentary seat, rushing to the goal to defend Griezmann!

In the cheers of the sky, Griezmann shot with his left foot!

This shot Griezmann shot very tricky, the football stuck to the ground and ran towards the far end!

This is a shot from the calf, not powerful, but very sudden, and the angle is well controlled!
Faced with such a tricky shot, Casillas reacted, but the football flew past him!
Griezmann added an inward rotation to this shot, so that although the ball is not fast, it does not run in a straight line while touching the ground, but has a slight arc.

It was this slight arc that bypassed Casillas' fingertips just right, and the Real Madrid goalkeeper failed to touch the ball.

The football bypassed his defense and entered the goal from the far end! !
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

"Two to zero!!! Two to zero!!! At the end of the first half, Manchester City took a two-goal lead!!!"

"A very easy counterattack!!! So easy!! Hazard passed Arbeloa, drove straight in, passed the ball to Griezmann, and Griezmann sent the ball into the goal! Everything seemed so easy!"

"Real Madrid has one less player, their midfield is almost defenseless, and every counterattack of Manchester City always makes their defense crumbling!!!"

The narrators roared one after another!

The players congratulated each other, but Gao Bo on the coach's bench didn't react much.

Leading by two goals, there is no suspense in this game.

The first half of the game ended quickly. During the intermission, Gao Bo praised the team's performance, but he didn't say much.

Isn't it natural to lead by two goals when one more player is kicked?

In such a high-level confrontation, having one more person than the opponent is such a great advantage.

Gao Bo would never allow his opponent to have a chance to comeback.

"Defense!! It's still defensive in the second half. Keep this defensive intensity, don't let them easily organize and oppress them in the frontcourt. It's best to let them fall into isolation and fight alone. If there is a chance to counterattack, don't be soft! Remember, don't relax in any way, this piece of meat has been in our mouths, we must not let it slip!"

In fact it is.

Real Madrid was not able to stage a miracle.

In the second half, Ancelotti used up all three of his substitutions early on, but it didn't work.

Instead, Manchester City scored first.

Game No. 608 minutes, a chance to counterattack, Griezmann made Pepe's foul, Manchester City got a free kick facing the goal in the front court, a position very suitable for direct shots.

David Silva came to handle the ball, he took a free kick around the wall, and the football got into the corner!
Three to zero!
Manchester City lead by three goals.

Afterwards, Gao Bo also started to make substitutions.

Adam, Barry, and Maguire played.

Gao Bo asked Maguire to play the midfielder. His task was to keep an eye on Ozil. Ozil is the connection of Real Madrid's offense. Without Ozil's connection, the two superstars of Real Madrid, Ronaldo and Bale, would not be able to connect.

In the end, Real Madrid also failed to score.

Manchester City defeated their opponents [-]-[-] at home and secured the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule!

"The game is over!!! The game is over!!! Manchester City defeated Real Madrid [-]-[-] at home!! They secured the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule!! Congratulations to Manchester City!! They reached the last [-] of the Champions League!!"

At the end of the game whistle, the England commentator and the fans at the scene were very excited.

This is a milestone event for Manchester City.

For the first time in the history of the Manchester City club, it has entered the knockout round of the Champions League! !This point in time, this game, can be recorded in the history of the club.

After that, every game of the team in the Champions League, every round of progress, will be a moment to refresh the team's record.

The players also celebrated on the court, while Gao Bo seemed very calm.

It's just qualifying from the group. Except for Real Madrid, the opponents in this group are not very strong teams.

As long as Manchester City beat Real Madrid, it is a matter of course that they will qualify first in the group, and it is definitely not an accident.

He stood up from his seat, shook hands with Ancelotti, walked around the field with the players to thank the fans, and then left the field.
