In fact, at the beginning of the season, the agents and assistants of the three super giants secretly met in Madrid to discuss the super giant war issue in the new season. None of the three who played in the World Cup in the summer wanted to play, and a verbal agreement was reached at that time.
Wang Ai's idea is that since it's time to keep a low profile, it's okay to lose once, but the premise is that he can't lose too much and can't shake his super foundation. What Messi is considering is that Barcelona has a strong center this season.
Suarez had already squeezed out his scoring opportunities. He had defeated Ronaldo once again in La Liga, so losing once was nothing. But the development of the situation was beyond their expectations. When Ronaldo surged forward for half a season,
When they were leading the two of them by double digits at most, Ronaldo fans couldn't control themselves.
They hang out in groups on the official websites of Barcelona and Manchester City, and on the social accounts of Messi and Wang Ai, mocking the two of them by flooding the screen. Wang Ai is okay, he has no base in Europe and cannot provoke any counterattack.
He has firepower, and he is not in La Liga. Moreover, Ronaldo’s fans know that he will most likely come next season, so the focus is not on him. Then Messi, who has a basic base and is still being taken care of, can’t stand it.
So, Messi decided to join the war! Barcelona, Suarez, and Neymar all said: Fuck him!
Now Wang Ai's overall attitude is still that it is best to win, and he can accept a small loss, and his true attitude this season has inevitably been passed on to the other two through average data, appearance rate, etc., which makes them
Both saw a chance to really win... By the way, Ronaldo lost twice, and Messi didn't win either. He just beat poor Ronaldo.
However, both Messi and Wang Ai have temporarily put aside the European Golden Boot, the main battlefield of the super giant war, because the Champions League copy has started. On February 24th, BJ time, Barcelona came to Manchester to prepare for the Champions League 16 match with Manchester City the next day.
The first round of the competition reached 8.
The eyes of all Europe and even the world are focused here. Last summer, Messi was defeated by Wang Ai in a head-to-head match at the World Cup, and the world felt sorry for him. Now Messi has a group of stronger teammates and has come to Wang Ai again.
In front of us, the "battle of revenge" has become the most concentrated voice in the Barcelona media these days.
On the morning of the match day, both sides announced their starting lineups, showing the confidence of the coaching staffs of both sides. In the evening, the two sides, who were ready to go, arrived at the Intihad Stadium almost at the same time. Barcelona has gradually taken shape and has unlimited power.
The MSN team has all the members in place, and Manchester City has also put together the strongest attacking triangle of Wang Ai, Aguero and Silva.
On a cool night in February, Barcelona, wearing a tantalizing yellow away jersey, and Manchester City, wearing a light blue jersey, stood side by side. After the camera scanned them one by one, most fans had a very intuitive impression in their hearts: except for
Except for the center, Manchester City's players in almost all positions are worth less than Barcelona players in the same position.

Yaya Toure, who competed in the African Cup of Nations, has been in sluggish form since his return, which made the home fans place their hopes on their super giant... However, the game unfolded in a way that they and even the entire Manchester City team did not expect.
Last season's triple crown and five crown champions were suppressed right from the start. Wang Ai in the frontcourt was isolated and helpless, and only got the ball twice for 20 minutes. Barcelona's MSN combination was extremely active, and in the backcourt of Manchester City, who was waiting hard,
Free to come and go, just when Wang Ai had to retreat to prepare to participate in the midfield battle, Suarez scored two goals in 5 minutes, completely beating Manchester City's defense.
Messi, who is good at penetrating, and Neymar, who is good at inserting, are like two threads. There is a huge spindle between them. Whenever the two threads pull out a gap, the spindle will hit hard. The luxurious Manchester City defense line
He looked extremely clumsy under the attack of these three people.
It seemed that the MSN team themselves were unprepared for such a smooth performance. They were a little carried away after taking a two-goal lead in the away game in 35 minutes. They actually became lax at the critical moment when they should have been pursuing victory, which allowed Manchester City to seize the opportunity.
Wang Ai, who returned to the midfield, forced control of the ball during the fight with Busquets. He took advantage of his speed and dashed away the three Barcelona players in front and behind him in a straight line. When he reached the corner of the penalty area, he knocked him down with a sharp fake move.
Pique finally faced Bravo who was waiting for him and calmly volleyed into the far corner.
Wang Ai's goal finally stabilized Manchester City's shaky situation, but it also woke up the arrogant MSN team and made them serious again. Although they failed to score again in the rest of the first half, they still suppressed Manchester City.
Can't make it past halftime.
Returning from the second half, Wang Ai attacked at the beginning and with the help of Aguero, he forced a header in front of the goal and succeeded. Then Barcelona regained their senses and once again took advantage of their control of the field and suppressed Manchester City in the half.
In the 14th minute of the second half, Neymar successfully penetrated from the wing to the goal and scored a goal.
The score now became 3:2.
Manchester City no longer cares about the number of goals conceded at home, it would be good to win.
Fortunately, Aguero's stability came into play at the critical moment. In the 21st minute of the second half, he received a pass from David Silva and hit the far corner to tie the score at 3:3.
By now, both sides are a little exhausted. Although Manchester City has the home field advantage, they are too tired this season. Even the two attacks launched by Wang Ai in the remaining time ended in vain when they were alone. But in
In the final stage of the game, Messi was unable to catch up and created a penalty kick and took it personally, giving MSN the last laugh in this twists and turns of the Champions League knockout round.
The media comments after the game were naturally unpleasant, "Man City is useless except for the terrifying King" and "Man City was at a loss in front of the invincible MSN combination. If it weren't for the powerful King and the stable Aguero, this would have been a complete defeat.
", "The defending champions were completely defeated at home, and the MSN group has a bright future"...
Manchester City didn't have time to think too much. Three days later, they faced the challenge of Liverpool in the league. Although Dzeko, who started the game, scored a goal steadily, the game fell behind 1:2 in the 70th minute of the second half. Pellegrini
They had no choice but to send Wang Ai, who had already entered the rotation, to play. Due to the poor condition of the team, Wang Ai only got two shooting opportunities. Fortunately, he scored a goal before the end to equalize the score.
Since Chelsea has other games, their 27th round of the Premier League will be played at the end of April, so Manchester City can temporarily top the Premier League with a 1-point advantage. But what everyone understands is that against two teams that scored 63 points in 26 rounds
As far as the team is concerned, it is very likely to win by then, and this top spot is extremely high-quality.
Manchester City, facing a season with empty hands.
