605. Defeat is inevitable
In the 76th minute, Barcelona finally got an excellent opportunity. Messi made a pass from the edge of the penalty area, and Aguero finally got the right position. This time he successfully counterattacked and headed the ball directly to the far corner. Navas jumped up with great effort, but unfortunately he still couldn't touch the ball.
At this critical moment, Van Dijk stood up in time and actually juggled in a barb posture to relieve the situation!
Fortunately, Messi's pass still prevented Aguero from exerting full force!
Fortunately, Aguero's header headed to the far corner, giving Van Dijk a chance to turn around and clear the ball!
"Damn it!" Wen Sheng was shocked on the sidelines. This was too dangerous!
Such an opportunity also fully proves the terror of Messi and others. Even if he wants to limit his poor condition throughout the game, it is extremely difficult for him to limit himself.
Van Dijk's clearance greatly encouraged the morale of Manchester City. At this time, Barcelona's goal was extremely bad for morale, but a beautiful clearance would also encourage the whole team.
Etihad Stadium burst into thunderous applause for Van Dijk.
Hawkeye technology has not been used in the Champions League at this time, but there is a goal-line referee in the Champions League at this time, and this time, the goal-line referee does not need to be used. Aguero's header is relatively barely enough, and the ball has not reached the goal-line yet.
"Enrique was so angry that he stomped his feet! This ball is such a pity!" Brother Jun was very funny when he saw Enrique's movements on the sidelines.
"This goal is equivalent to increasing the morale of Manchester City. If Barcelona enters, Manchester City will be in a desperate situation!"
While talking.
In the 81st minute, Barcelona, who was crazily pressing the whole line, paid the price again. Manchester City intercepted the ball in the backcourt and formed a quick counterattack. In order to stop Costa, Pique had to pull him from behind. As the last defensive player, Pique had no choice but to receive a red card, so that only ten people left Barcelona to fight.
No matter how much Enrique adjusts, he will not be able to add a central defender. He lets Mascherano continue to stick to his position.
"Long pass! Long pass!" Wensheng kept shouting to the court. Mascherano and Dzeko were a natural disadvantage in height. Why not? Although it seems that it would be more reasonable for Manchester City to take control, Wensheng also had anger in his head at this moment. He wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity to see if he could make a final decision.
If you score another goal, Barcelona will really fall into death.
It's true that Manchester City has seized the opportunity.
In the 84th minute, Manchester City passed the ball in the backcourt for a long time, and Mascherano was not tall enough, so he had to use a foul to deal with Dzeko and push people with his hands. Then Manchester City got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.
De Bruyne and Wensheng are really in tune with each other. If it is normal, Manchester City would be better off continuing to pass the ball, but De Bruyne intends to attack directly. Barcelona lacks Pique, the commanding heights of set pieces, and it will definitely be more difficult to defend the set ball.
Enrique should at least make some moves at this time, for example, if he replaces a taller player on the court, he did not do so, which makes only one Busquets in Barcelona who is over 1.8 meters tall, while the other players are under 1.8 meters tall.
Several tall players in Manchester City were all called to the opponent's penalty area by De Bruyne. Barcelona naturally knew their disadvantages. They moved their defense line forward as much as possible and caused offside.
Of course, there is also a problem with this defensive strategy. When encountering a fast forward from Manchester City and successfully counter-offside, Barcelona basically can only surrender.
But for Barcelona this is the best choice.
De Bruyne made a long pass on the right, and also looked for the back point. Manchester City also had its own strategy to defend against Barcelona. The ball went back and forth. Even if you were offside, you could run. Manchester City could suppress Barcelona from the back point with its height.
The idea is very simple, but it may not be successful when implemented. Success is both accidental and inevitable. If it were today, Manchester City might be considered inevitable.
Kompany and Van Dijk shot the goal with two ghosts from the back. The ball landed very deeply. Kompany pushed the ball towards the small penalty area. Busquets and Dzeko jumped on the spot. Busquets suffered a loss this time. Dzeko headed the ball and flew towards Barcelona's goal. Terstegen was out of reach, and the ball was pushed into the far corner by Dzeko.
The goal is more than 7 meters long, and Dzeko is standing in the middle of the small penalty area. This ball is not easy to defend.
Terstegen was also trying hard to get rich, but his city was lost again.
Cheryl and the others stood up from the seat, everyone laughed happily, and even Lydia slapped happily.
"This is the victory completely! Hahaha!" The two uncles couldn't help but hug each other and laughed together.
"Barcelona is the Little Team, Manchester City is the Giants! This is obviously bullied!" Cousin John teased Barcelona unscrupulously.
Enrique's brothers and sisters are cold, and there is no doubt that this goal basically declares Barcelona's death penalty. Even if he scores another goal, Barcelona will be eliminated with a score of 2:3, unless Barcelona can score two goals in less than ten minutes, but is this a matter?!
With one person missing, the opponent is still Manchester City, which has a strong defense, no Barcelona fan has such confidence.
As a commentator, Brother Jun never likes to make conclusions in advance, but Director Zhang is different. He likes to tell the facts he has seen.
"No suspense! No suspense! Barcelona should be out. This is Manchester City's third consecutive Champions League final! Great! Great!"
"Enrique should have been replaced long ago!" Gary Neville made a big fuss in the live broadcast room. He felt indignant and felt like a Barcelona fan.
Carragher gloated and said with a smile: "Manchester City is creating feats. There has never been an English team that has reached the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons! This is even, well, Liverpool and Manchester United have never done this!"
Carragher's eyes were staring at Neville, and Neville smiled, not knowing whether it was a sneer or a bitter smile.
"Don't look at me, I'm a commentator! I will evaluate this game fairly. Manchester City did play so well! Barcelona is too unsatisfied. They wasted the advantage of the first round!" Neville said with great suffrage.
Both Sonnes and Carragher smiled, and Sonnes said: "We should be proud of Manchester City. Not any team can accomplish the feat of three-way Champions League finals!"
"The game is not over yet! I think we should be cautious, it will not be too late to wait until the game is over!" Neville shouted.
"I'll bet with you 50 pounds!" Carragher made a quick decision.
"Why should I bet with you?!" Neville said in disappointment.
Chapter completed!
