Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

The two games in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2019-2020 season are over. Arsenal, which has won the Champions League for four consecutive years, defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg as a guest and is almost half way into the Champions League final this season.

Manchester City and Bayern tied 2:2 at the Etihad Stadium. There is still a big question mark over who will advance to the Champions League final this season.

However, in the second round at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Bayern slaughtered Barcelona 1:4 at home in the first leg of the quarter-finals. Many media and fans are still very optimistic about Bayern's prospects.

First of all, Bayern won the Bundesliga championship in advance and can focus all its energy on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. On the other hand, Manchester City is still competing with Liverpool for the league runner-up.

If they want to retain their hope of finishing second in the league, they have to send out all the main players on the weekend. In this way, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals will probably not have a good result.

If the weekend's league focuses on preparing for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, then there is a high chance that something unexpected will happen to the weekend's league.

After careful consideration, Guardiola finally decided to play in the league with a semi-main force to ensure that the league does not fall behind and prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Arsenal have no such worries. They can fully prepare for the Champions League semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain in the second round at home.

The first Champions League semi-final second leg match was Bayern facing Manchester City at the Allianz Arena.

This game also marks Guardiola's return to his old roots after three years as Bayern's head coach.

3:2

Bayern once again exceeded the score at home, rewriting the total score to 5:4!

The lead lasted until the seventy-fifth minute of the match.

Bayern took the lead at home.

However, Manchester City's defense did well. Bayern seemed to have some bad luck, and many shots slipped past the goal.

In his opinion, if the Manchester City team can maintain a clean sheet, the spirit of the entire Manchester City team will be tight. As the score is equalized, the players will definitely have other thoughts.

Red card!

A severe decrease in physical energy leads to a lack of concentration.

Guardiola now refers to the success points of M's defense on the defensive end, and effectively resolves Bayern's strong offense in a compact defensive system.

But when the game starts, what should be done will still be done.

By the end of the first half, the score on the scoreboard had not changed.

Fate is like this sometimes, it often likes to fool people.

Lewandowski penetrated the most lethal area of ​​Manchester City's defence.

Manchester City, which has been playing with one less player for a long time, runs at all costs in order to stabilize the defense, but every player runs a little more. As time goes by, the quantitative changes become qualitative changes.

Manchester City, who had no away goal advantage, could only strengthen their offense, but they played one less player. When the continuous offense failed to score goals, it finally caused problems in switching from offense to defense.

Once the result of the game is 0:0 or 1:1, the team that advances is Bayern.

The referee on duty, Lahoz, blew the whistle decisively and then showed a bright red card to Otamendi, who committed the foul.

In the second half of the game, Bayern stepped up its offense and forced Manchester City's defense to make mistakes through continuous attacks.

Everyone thought that Manchester City, which was gaining momentum, would maintain the score until the end of 90 minutes of regular time.

The few good news for them is that they are ahead.

Only eight minutes into the game, De Bruyne made a precise pass from the right to find Jesus who ran out of space. He overpowered the central defender Abala and headed the ball into Neuer's guarded goal.

The draw in the first round put a lot of pressure on the visiting team Manchester City. The game system of first home and then away was already depressing. Two more goals were conceded at home in the first round, which also meant that goals must be scored as much as possible in the second round.

Unexpectedly, Thomas Muller gave Manchester City a world-beating goal in the third minute of stoppage time.

In the 86th minute, Lewandowski received Kimmich's cross from the right and scored with a header.

2:2

Manchester City, with one less player to play, equalized the score!

In order to maintain the stability of the defense system, Guardiola had to remove Sterling and replace him with Stones.

In other words... Manchester City has played one less player since the end of the first half.

Bayern, which was lagging behind at home, increased its offensive firepower in the restarted game, trying to quickly equalize the score through strong offense.

If the game ends according to the current score, Bayern will advance to the finals with the advantage of more away goals.

If the game ends with the current score, both sides will enter overtime.

It was not until the 42nd minute of the game that the situation changed drastically.

Martin, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, shook his head and sighed: "No chance."

In order to make up for Fernandinho's mistake, Otamendi did not hesitate to kick Lewandowski down in a single pass during the pursuit.

In the 76th minute, Bayern player Goretzka received a cross pass from Lewandowski and scored, leveling the score.

"aoaoaooaoooooo——"

Back here again, the Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena gave him thunderous applause.

The visiting team Manchester City intends to turn the tables, and luck seems to have fallen on them.

Guardiola naturally protested against such a penalty, but in the end he was unable to change the referee's decision.

The Bayern fans in the auditorium became crazy and shouted loudly one after another.

Guardiola, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the visiting team coach, was as excited as a child, dancing and expressing his need to survive in a desperate situation.

Fernandinho made a huge mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Under heavy pressure, he passed the ball to Thomas Müller, who was rushing forward. The latter made a slight adjustment and sent a through ball.

When everyone thought Bayern would defeat Manchester City, De Bruyne stepped forward. In the 89th minute, he took advantage of Aguero's retreat to receive the ball and made a sudden attack. The football he kicked was so powerful that it hit the goal. Upper right corner.

Conceding the goal at this time is undoubtedly a blow to Manchester City, which has one less player to play.

Immediately confused.

The Bayern players who celebrated the goal were particularly crazy, venting their ecstasy in the fanatical atmosphere.

The stoppage time electronic board held up by the fourth official previously showed [4], which meant that the stoppage time was only four minutes.

The goal scored in more than three minutes was completely equal to a decisive victory.

The Manchester City players, who had high morale after equalizing the score, were all stunned in place.

The crazy celebration of Bayern players slowly ended with the intervention of the referee, and the time... also reached the fourth minute.

The young Nagelsmann couldn't wait to urge the referee Lahoz to call the end of the game.

But Lahoz did not continue, he decided to give the Manchester City players a wave of offensive opportunities.

It is a pity that the enthusiasm of Manchester City players Thomas Muller was shattered, and even if there was a chance to restart, they could not organize an effective attack.

Kyle Walker's cross from the right went directly out of the other sideline, and Lahoz took advantage of it to call the end of the game.

It is equivalent to saying that Bayern eliminated Manchester City with a total score of 5:4 and returned to the Champions League final after seven years.

At the regular press conference after the game, Guardiola was still very graceful even after losing. He first congratulated his former team Bayern for advancing to the Champions League final, then took the responsibility for the loss and even defended Otamendi who received a red card. Protect your own players.
