This score means that in the second leg, Barcelona only need to win Manchester City 1-0 to ensure that they advance to the semi-finals!
If City are to avoid a difficult second leg, they will need to score at least one goal in the remaining game time and ensure they don't concede any more goals.
Mancini was drinking water before seeing Messi score, and when he saw Messi score, he threw the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground, splashing everywhere.
Mancini's face was grim and he certainly knew what Barcelona's goal meant.
City will have to score one more goal to be a little more secure.
Mancini looked at the time, and the game was sixty-three minutes on.
He was hesitating whether to make a substitution at this time, but then, seeing an attack by Manchester City, Yang Fan looked a little lonely in front, and other players were also watched by the Barcelona defenders.
"Mario, go warm up!" Mancini said to Balotelli on the bench.
Balotelli immediately stood up and went to warm up with assistant coach Sogliano.
The camera was focused on City's dugout and bench before Balotelli got up to warm up, which immediately caught the attention of the commentators.
"Balotelli is starting to warm up, Manchester City still has to attack, a one-goal lead is not safe for them with the second leg of the game, they have to attack!"
"If Balotelli plays, it will definitely not be to replace Yang Fan, it should be to replace one of Ballack or Adam Johnson. The commentator analyzed, "It's more likely to replace Adam Johnson." ”
"When Mario comes on the field, he will form a new trident with Yang Fan and David Silva, and we look forward to their excellent performance. ”
Three minutes later, in the 69th minute, Xavi's pass headed De Jong off the touchline and there was a chance for a dead ball, and the fourth official signalled for City to call for a substitution.
"Oooo
"Mancini still hasn't replaced Ballack, it seems that he still doesn't have the courage to fight, of course, if it is Ballack, Manchester City only has De Jong in the midfield who really has the ability to intercept, which will be dangerous, so Mancini replaced David Silva. ”
He came on the pitch after Balotelli and David Silva high-fived.
The players on the pitch all looked at Balotelli and they knew that Super Mario must have brought the latest instructions from the manager.
Balotelli did not shy away from the Barcelona players not far away, and he yelled at his team-mates: "Attack!
Hearing Balotelli's shout, everyone nodded, in fact, Mancini replaced Balotelli and added a striker, which in itself was a signal for attack, from three to one to three, only one goal ahead, and Barcelona got two away goals, and, considering the difficulty of the Camp Nou, Manchester City's away trip was overshadowed, in order to occupy a certain advantage in the second leg, Manchester City had no other way but to attack, and strive to score again.
Mancini wants his disciples to attack!
Pep Guardiola also stood on the sidelines, yelling loudly into the field, pushing forward with both hands, signaling his players to continue attacking and try to score again. Barcelona after Messi's goal just now, it can be regarded as their offense has been rewarded, morale is greatly boosted, in addition, Guardiola also knows that defense is not Barcelona's strength, Barcelona's strongest point is offense, now, Manchester City people want to attack, just what they want, Guardiola will not worry about the opponent's attack, only worry about the opponent's death, after the Manchester City people attack, there will be more holes in the backfield, it is when Barcelona plays their offensive ability.
This kind of offensive battle is the favorite of the fans.
Some experts and media had speculated before the game that Manchester City would adopt a more prudent strategy, and the game may not be too dull, but it will not be too exciting, but in this game, it is obviously the ability of the forwards to determine the trend of the game!
Overall, the game is a battle of offense!
After Messi just scored, there was a period of time when Manchester City was overwhelmed by Barcelona.
But Yang Fan and his teammates still survived the most difficult five or six minutes.
Especially Yang Fan, his expression was very serious, and he was completely desperate!
Yang Fan's desperate and serious attitude even affected the whole team, which is a subconscious influence and the charm of the leader.
The whole team twisted up and down, and after surviving Barcelona's attack, Manchester City also launched a counter-attack. In particular, Balotelli is on the field, which makes Manchester City's attack in the front court a lot stronger, Yang Fan, Balotelli and David Silva are all good attackers with strong impact, which makes Barcelona also feel a lot of pressure.
Manchester City's attack, Balotelli broke through with the ball, however, he was cut off by Alves, who rushed forward with the ball, Ballack came over, he counter-attacked, and successfully forced the ball to finally go out of Alves's body, Manchester City's sideline ball.
Ballack shouted at Balotelli, meaning that Balotelli should have actively counter-attacked on the spot after conceding the ball just now.
'Ballack really worked hard today, in fact, the whole Manchester City team was really desperate and they wanted to score another goal and win the game by a bigger score!' said the commentator in surprise.
Ballack threw the sideline ball, after Ballack **** stopped the ball, passed to Ballack, the latter's subsequent pass was intercepted by Busquets, however, Busquets then passed the ball to Pedro, Pedro dribbled the ball, but was also cut off by Ballack who rebounded.
Pedro's dangerous back-tackle sent Ballack to the ground, but before he could go down, he passed the ball out. He passed to Zabaleta.
The referee runs quickly and raises his hands forward, which means that the attack is advantageous and the game continues.
After Zabaleta won the ball, he dribbled towards the baseline at high speed.
"City's chance to fight back!"
"Barak, his counter-robbery created this attack!"
"The German veteran is really desperate today!"
Zabaleta broke through to near the baseline and crossed with his right foot.
The ball was hit by Yang Fan, he shook his head, this is not a header, it is a ferry!
I have to admire David Silva and Yang Fan's heart, the moment Yang Fan's header ferried, David Silva immediately started at high speed, he really received the football, and while unloading the football, he took advantage of the beautiful situation to deduct Pique who defended him, and then burst into the penalty area.
"David Silva's one-on-one knife!"
Manchester Civic Stadium was filled with joy.
Valdés was not only sluggish, but he rushed out quickly, hoping to reduce the distance between him and David Silva as much as possible.
David Silva kicks the door!
Valdés pounced on the ball, he couldn't stop it, however, he felt his fingertips touch the ball, which gave Valdés a glimmer of hope.
In the end, the football was able to bypass the post and go out of the line.
"It didn't go in, oh oh oh
"It's dangerous! Valdés made a brilliant save! City missed a great chance to score!"
David Silva was very annoyed, it was a pity that he did not grasp this opportunity.
After Milner's corner, Yang Fan and Puyol had another direct duel in today's game in the penalty area, and this time Yang Fan won. He grabbed the spot and flicked his header at goal, but this time, his header was angled too wide for Valdés to reach out and the ball was cleared by Pique's foot.
Puyol couldn't carry Yang Fan just now, and fell to the ground after landing, Yang Fan stretched out a hand, pulled Pujol up, turned around and ran back.
Puyol looked at Yang Fan's back, a little helpless, he was tired, and the confrontation with Yang Fan made him physically exhausted, and he gasped for breath.
Mancini looked down at his watch on his wrist as the game reached the final twenty minutes of the second half.
Yang Fan looked up at the big screen, the game was 73 minutes old, and counting injury time, there were still 20 minutes.
They have to try to score another goal in those 20 minutes.
Valdés throws the ball in his hand and attacks.
Barcelona's attack is quite fluid, and the stars in the midfield are not ornaments.
Xavi, who is the brains of Barcelona's midfield, received a pass from Abidal and passed it to Pedro, who broke through with the ball, faced De Jong and passed the football to Messi, who came to pick it up.
Barcelona were very fluid in their passes, and their passing and advancing were fast.
Ballack knew how powerful Messi was, and he almost kept keeping close to Messi, not only closely, but also constantly rushing with his body and pulling with his hands. There is no way to do this, this kid's breakthrough is very sharp.
Rao is like this, but Messi is like a tumbler, no matter how the other party tosses, no matter how unstable his center of gravity is and how embarrassed his posture is, the football is miraculously always stuck to his feet.
Seeing that Ballack had no choice but to take Messi, De Jong came up to help, De Jong's style was much tougher than Ballack, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he directly slid and shoveled Messi down with the ball.
The referee's whistle blew for a foul on Frenkie de Jong and awarded Barcelona a free-kick.
The Barcelona players were not happy, they surrounded the referee, this is asking for a card, they want the referee to give De Jong a yellow card, but the Barcelona players remember, if De Jong eats another yellow card, the next leg of the game will be suspended.
The referee ignored the protests of the Barcelona players this time, he just saw it clearly, De Jong touched the football first when he tackled, this tackle looks very fierce, in fact, it is not very harmful, to be honest, it is a little too much to punish De Jong for fouls, not to mention the cards.
The Barcelona stars also know that the referee will not change the decision, they just routinely go up to the referee, surround the referee and protest loudly, put pressure on the referee, which has become a special culture of Catalan football.
This time, Messi took the free-kick.
The referee's whistle sounded, Messi assisted, stopped with his supporting foot, picked up the other foot, and pumped it on the ball.
The soccer ball lifts off the ground, bringing up a piece of dirt, and the ball continues to fly, and the dirt falls.
Messi's free-kick was still quite quality, the football flew to the top left corner of the goal, the angle was good, and the power was full, but Joe Hart's performance today was indeed quite good.
Joe Hart leaped and saved the ball off the line.
Barcelona corner.
Xavi's corner kick into the box was headed in by Abidal but there was no power to top it, and Joe Hart held the ball firmly.
'Joe Hart, he was outstanding today and without him Man City would have conceded more goals. ”
Joe Hart made a quick run to the penalty line and threw the ball with a strong hand to launch a quick counter-attack.
Zabaleta received the ball and passed it directly to Ballack, who launched the attack.
Ballack **** stopped the ball and looked at the front, Balotelli was raising his hand to ask for the ball, Ballack also raised his right arm, it looked like he was going to pass the ball to Balotelli who wanted the ball, but suddenly a ball over the top was passed, and the target of the pass was Yang Fan!
Ballack crosses...... Busquets was fooled, the ball was passed to Yang Fan!!" The England commentator made no secret of his appreciation for Ballack's pass. At the same time, he is also looking forward to this attack of Manchester City!
Yang Fan has always been followed by Puyol, Yang Fan can only barely protect the ball, he pulls the ball with his left foot, trying to turn around, Puyol immediately moves his body, Yang Fan can only knock the ball back again, and then suddenly pull the ball to the left. Puyol was stuck in position again.
Peat, Yang Fan knew that he was in a bitter battle, because not only Puyol was pestering him, but Abidal also came up and watched from the sidelines. Always ready to kick in.
No, we have to find a way!
Yang Fan squinted at Abidal, and an idea came to mind.
He slammed the ball with his heel and tried to stab it between Puyol's legs as he turned to chase the ball.
Unexpectedly, his intention was guessed by Puyol, Puyol's legs immediately tightened, the football hit Puyol's legs, jumped up, Yang Fan was about to turn around, seeing this, he quickly stretched out his legs to hook the ball, and hooked the football back with great effort.
Abidal had been waiting for an opportunity next to him, and at this time, seeing Yang Fan hooking the ball back in embarrassment, he immediately saw the opportunity to break the ball, and he directly got down and slid away.
When Yang Fan hooked the ball back, he knew that it was not good, and Abidal would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and sure enough, he saw Abidal tackle coming.
Yang Fan was naturally reluctant to let Abidal succeed, he moved in his heart, pushed away Puyol beside him with one hand, and at the same time took advantage of this reaction force, turned around on the spot, and at the same time gently picked up the football with his left foot, he was able to avoid Abidal's tackle, and then, he touched the ball with his knee, and the whole person jumped up, just escaped from the gap between Abidal and Puyol!
"Yang Fan!oh!oh!! "What a cleverness, he deftly killed out of the encirclement!"
Puyol's body has not adjusted its center of gravity at this time, and as he gets older, his reaction is indeed slower than that of young people......
Yang Fan decisively got rid of the defense, padd his knee again, and the football continued to roll forward, and he himself took this opportunity to accelerate towards the football.
The whole action is done in one go and is very beautiful.
Seeing Yang Fan pass Abidal and Puyol with such an unbelievable move, Pique was shocked.
Seeing Pique rushing up, Yang Fan immediately lifted his right foot and kicked the football.
Is it a shot or a pass?
Pique is like a great enemy!
At the same time, his center of gravity is tilted to the left!
At this time, Yang Fan was originally kicking the right foot of the football, but he slashed under the football, and then with a shake of his ankle, he pulled the football back to the left like a whip!
Oxtail!
Pique's center of gravity was still moving on the left side, and at this time, it was too late to retract his center of gravity, and he could only watch Yang Fan's back that was shaking all over his body quickly move away from him.
“YANG!”
“YANG!”
“YANG!”
“YANG!”
"YANG!OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH
"It's so exciting!"
"OOOOOOOO-YANG FAN!HE FLICKED HIS TAIL PAST PIQUE!NOW, ONLY VALDÉS WAS LEFT IN FRONT OF HIM!MARCH YANG FAN!SCORE YANG FAN!SCORE!SCORE!YOUNG MAN!OHOHOHOH-"
The commentators couldn't calm down one by one, they were all crazy, and now, except for the Catalan commentators, everyone had only one thought, and that was to score, Yang Fan scored!
From the time he beat Abidal and Puyol with his almost ballet-like great football artistic moves, to now past Pique with a flick of the bull's tail, everything has been so exciting, and now, one thing is still a little bit closer to perfection, and that is the goal!
"Captain!
"Captain!
The stands at Manchester City Stadium were cheering like this.
In the midst of the huge cheers and the excited howl of the commentator, Yang Fan arrived at the door!
Now, in front of him, there is only Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdés!
Facing Valdés, Yang Fan lifted his right foot and kicked the football!
Valdés immediately made a save!
Then he watched in despair as Yang Fan buckled the football back, and then, an acceleration swept past him!
"It's over!"
"Only the empty door is left!"
"Shoot—"
"Shoot—"
In the roar of the commentator, Yang Fan gently pushed the football into the empty goal!
In the stands, countless people's arms were raised frantically!
A goal like this is enough to ignite the flame of all passion!
