From the time the players warmed up, the Etihad was already full of spectators.

When players from both sides appeared in the tunnel, countless blue flags were flying throughout the stadium.

The cheers from the fans were deafening.

One wave after another, as if to tear the Barcelona players who came to the away game to pieces.

The battle between Zhao Yi and Ronaldo last season, and the battle between Zhao Yi and Messi this season.

It seems to be announcing the end of an era in football.

The future era will belong to Manchester City, to Blue Moon, and to Super Zhao!

“In this game, Guardiola deployed a very offensive 3241 formation.

At the Etihad, Guardiola was not conservative at all.

It looks like we are going to have a wonderful offensive battle with Barcelona.

Manchester City did not have any injuries or suspensions in this game and faced Barcelona in their strongest form this season.

Aguero is still in front as a single arrow.

Behind him is a group of frontcourt offensive players with both talent and skills.

De Bruyne occupies the left wing, with two No. 10 players in the middle, Zhao Yi and David Silva, and Sterling on the right.

The double defensive midfielders, Kante and Gundogan, are all capable of defending well and have sufficient physical fitness.

Back three, Kompany, Stones, Kyle Walker.

Goalkeeper Ederson.

This lineup may have certain problems on the defensive end.

It is difficult for Gundogan and Kante to fill the defender positions in defense.

It is almost impossible for De Bruyne to drop back to the back line to defend.

The back three is likely to be penetrated by Barcelona's powerful attacking line.

But at the same time, this lineup has strong firepower on the offensive end. Whether it is Gundogan or Kanter, they can provide considerable firepower support.

What's more, the five players in the frontcourt themselves have strong offensive firepower.

Barcelona's defense will face a huge test against these wolf-like players.

Barcelona is still in the 433 formation in the first round.

Neymar, Suarez, Messi.

In the midfield trio, Enrique made adjustments. Iniesta, who had some physical problems, was on the bench, replaced by the more impactful Gomez. The other two midfielders were still Busquets and Rakiti. strange.

The defense has also been slightly adjusted, Alba, Umtiti, Pique, and Roberto.

Roberto has performed very well in recent games and started in place of Mascherano.

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

The two sides met at Camp Nou in the first round. Although Manchester City won the game, the process was very anxious.

Manchester City is also extremely rare. In the final period, they adopted some delaying tactics and finally took all three points from Camp Nou.

So this game is still full of suspense.

let us wait and see! "

The players on both sides took their positions and Suarez took the kick.

Manchester City fans cheered.

As soon as Busquets got the ball, Zhao Yi lifted it up.

Before he even got to Busquets, Busquets had already moved the ball away.

Rakitic got the ball and De Bruyne quickly stepped forward to interfere.

After Manchester City started, they played very proactively.

Manchester City's full six midfielders obviously wanted to contain Barcelona's offense in the midfield, preventing them from successfully getting the ball to the frontcourt.

Rakitic tried to break through, but Kante and De Bruyne surrounded him and blocked Rakitic's path. Rakitic could only turn around and wanted to find Busquets, but found that he had been blocked by Zhao Yi. Only Roberto can be found.

Roberto, who was following, was instantly disturbed by Sterling.

He did not dare to cross the ball easily to find the defender, so he was forced to push the ball directly to Ter Stegen.

Aguero rushed over, but Ter Stegen didn't dare to push the ball away and kicked the ball away.

Suarez in front was blocked by Stones, who headed the ball to Gundogan.

Neymar ran half a circle around Gundogan but failed to grab the ball. Gundogan took the ball and moved forward.

"Barcelona has some problems with the ball. Look at Manchester City's attack."

There were loud cheers at the Etihad Stadium.

In this game, Manchester City increased their speed and rhythm from the beginning.

After the cooperation between Gundogan and Silva, Silva single-handedly rushed into Barcelona's defenders.

Take advantage of the situation and hit the door with your kick.

The football was held by Ter Stegen.

"This shot is a little less powerful. David Silva is also very active in the frontcourt!"

Barcelona was completely suppressed in the first six or seven minutes.

Today's Manchester City have a stronger desire to fight than the Manchester City team at Camp Nou.

Let Barcelona play very hard.

Neymar and Messi could only drop back and start receiving the ball.

However, both of them were double-teamed by multiple players on the wing, making it difficult to successfully bring the ball to the frontcourt.

Suarez in the frontcourt is even more isolated and helpless.

The cheers of Manchester City fans filled the entire stadium.

It makes every Manchester City player feel like they have been given a shot of blood.

In the tenth minute of the game, Messi and Rakitic played a very beautiful match against the wall. Messi, who retreated, got the ball and rushed to Manchester City's offensive third near the midline.

Kanter and Gundogan chased back at the same time, and Zhao Yi in the frontcourt also quickly returned to defense immediately.

Stones moved forward, delaying Messi's attack.

Messi moved from the center to the right with one sway.

Kompany moved laterally immediately, and Kanter, who chased back, immediately took up the position, making it impossible for Messi to continue to use every opportunity.

He immediately changed his breakthrough route, dribbling the ball laterally, cutting inside continuously, swinging out of angles, and shooting directly from outside the penalty area.

Kyle Walker jumped up, turned around and blocked the ball with his back.

Messi bared his teeth and immediately rushed to where the football landed.

Zhao Yi, who returned to the midfielder position, faced the extremely fast football, jumped slightly, and stopped the ball with his chest.

Then he quickly half-turned.

At this time, Busquets, who was following, immediately leaned towards Zhao Yi, preparing to counterattack on the spot and delay Zhao Yi's progress.

At the same time, Gomez also leaned towards Zhao Yi.

The football was still in the air and had not landed on the lawn. Zhao Yi, who turned halfway, raised his right foot and pointed at the football.

The huge force made the football fly into the sky and rush towards Barcelona's half.

No one would have thought this would happen.

Facing the second penalty kick, in his own defensive third zone, after Zhao Yi stopped the ball with his chest, he did not stop the ball at his feet and turned around to advance. Instead, before the defensive player had time to come over, he gave the ball away with a big kick. go out.

Enrique, like the Manchester City fans, craned his neck to watch the trajectory of the football.

Barcelona's midfielders and backfielders turned on their energy and rushed towards the ball's landing point.

The football crosses the center line, past the defender, and lands on the right side of the center.

At the moment Zhao Yi passed the ball, Sterling was still in the center line, so the ball would not be offside.

When the ball was passed, Sterling had already twisted his big butt and rushed over with full power.

His speed played a key role in this moment.

Alba was completely left behind.

The football landed on the lawn and bounced up. Sterling was already two positions ahead of Alba, touched the ball and passed the football out again.

Then, pat the horse and chase the football.

Alba was already behind, and Umtiti chased back in the middle, preparing to make up for it.

At the same time, Ter Stegen also rushed out of the small penalty area.
