From early in the morning, the whole city of Manchester is in full swing.

The atmosphere of the Champions League semi-final has been permeated, especially for Manchester City fans, and it is a crucial game for them.

In the face of a strong opponent from Spain, Manchester City did not dare to be careless.

Of course, they will not admit that Barcelona are powerful, and you can see the parade fans on the streets of Manchester City.

They pulled banners mocking Barcelona, especially Messi and Yile were taken care of.

There is no shortage of banners comparing Messi with Ronaldo.

A fan held up a picture of the diminutive Messi looking up at Ronaldo and shouted loudly.

Some people even equate Yile with intellectual retardation.

The variety of banners is dizzying, and at the same time, it also ignites the fiery atmosphere of the whole city.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Barcelona players were making their final preparations.

In the conference room, Valverde has already explained the final tactics, there is no too special tactical arrangement, basically in the familiar way of playing at Barcelona.

Valverde is different from other managers in that he believes in the familiarity that comes with hard work.

He firmly believes that the players are the absolute protagonists on the pitch and that the manager's tactics are to maximise the players' abilities rather than play the ball as they wish.

For this reason, Valverde has been training tirelessly again and again, and now Barcelona has found a set of playing styles that suit him perfectly.

This style of play may not be the most perfect, but it is definitely the most familiar.

Familiarity means you can't make mistakes, and it means that the players know how to play.

Compared with those bells and whistles of technical and tactical arrangements, Valverde prefers to play steadily and steadily, and a set of tactics goes all over the world.

"Alright, I've said that. I don't want to deceive you, in fact, I'm not a magician, I don't have magic tactics. I believe that victory comes from diligent practice, and this is a tactic that we have been honing for a long time, and this is the one you are most familiar with, so you can do it as usual. After a pause, Valverde added, "There's one thing I want you to remember."

Valverde looked solemn, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "We are much stronger than we imagined!" ”

Bang!!

Valverde slapped the table and shouted: "Now, we are about to set foot on the battlefield, we are going to capture Manchester City Stadium, only by stepping through there, can we reach the highest stage of our dreams!" ”

"Guys! Beat Manchester City and get our ticket to the final! ”

As the sun sets, Manchester City Stadium is a lively scene.

It was crowded with Manchester City fans in light blue jerseys.

Manchester City are not the obscure team of their early years, but after receiving funding from the Arab consortium, they quickly rose to prominence and squeezed into the BIG6 group of the Premier League as favourites to win the title.

At the same time, it will also build itself towards a giant, buy star players, good operation, etc., these are all necessary conditions for Manchester City's success on the road.

Today, Manchester City already has a number of star players and coaches such as Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Pep Guardiola.

This Manchester City team is definitely a tough one, Barcelona boast of being strong, but they don't dare to be careless.

Inside the bus, Yile sat with Griezmann.

During this time, Griezmann would always leave his place next to Yi Le, perhaps taking the initiative to ask Yi Le to come and sit.

Now, the two have gradually become familiar with each other and have become good friends.

Antoine Griezmann has a good personality, but his emotions fluctuate a lot, especially in matches, where he is prone to mistakes due to emotional problems.

For this reason, Yile was always encouraging him, which made Griezmann's senses for Yile even better.

The road leading to Manchester City Stadium was bustling with Manchester fans on both sides raising their fists towards the Barcelona-emblazoned buses.

The Barcelona players turned a blind eye to this, they were already experienced and would not be intimidated by such a move.

However, some unsightly banners have also made many people angry.

But no one complained anything, they looked at the banners silently, as if there was a flame rising in their eyes.

At 4pm, the crowd entered the visiting dressing room at Manchester City Stadium.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a picture of the players coming out of the stadium to warm up one after another.

Television stations around the world are broadcasting this crucial battle.

The screen switches back and forth between Messi, Sergio Aguero, Yile, Kevin De Bruyne, Valverde and Pep Guardiola.

Everyone knows that in this game, these talents are the best focus.

At five o'clock, the players of both teams finally officially stepped into the game stage.

Commentators from various countries are also broadcasting with high spirits.

Messi took sides with Kevin De Bruyne, who won the right to start for Manchester City.

Messi asked for the stadium on the left, which backed the stands of the Barcelona fans, and for them it was a haven in a sea of fans.

The players of both teams shook hands, and the players of the two teams staggered, most of them just shook hands, but Messi and Aguero came to a hug.

Yi Le is not familiar with the Manchester City players, so he also chose to shake hands.

But when he walked up to De Bruyne, he had already opened his arms and hugged him softly, and whispered; "It's going to be a good game!"

Yi Le looked at De Bruyne in surprise, and he could feel De Bruyne's high struggle.

He's declaring war!

In this regard, Yile's response is also simple and clear.

"I'm not going to throw out the rhythm of the midfield."

De Bruyne laughed; "Yes, that's how it should be, but I'll get the rhythm and the victory is ours!"

"Who knows!"

The two separated after a brief exchange, but anyone could feel the change between the two in an instant.

"What did he tell you?"

On the way to his own half, Antoine Griezmann leaned over and asked.

Yi Le shook his head and said, "Concentrate, the game is about to start." ”

The players from both sides came to their respective positions, and the referee raised his hand to the goalkeepers on both sides, and immediately blew the whistle after receiving the feedback.

With a sharp whistle, the most anticipated game of the Champions League semi-finals finally kicked off.

As soon as the game began, Manchester City launched a sneak attack.

They took advantage of the fact that the Barcelona players were still getting used to it, and De Bruyne suddenly sent a quick diagonal pass that changed the tempo and found Jesus accurately.

Gabriel Jesus went down quickly and got ahead of Alba, who was helping to defend, and crossed with his feet.

Sergio Aguero touched the ball and was about to shoot at the goal, when Pique suddenly slashed out and kicked the ball off the line with a big kick, which saved the goal from being broken.
