"Rong! Glory! Glory! He was in the Real Madrid penalty area! Tossing and turning, Real Madrid's defenders just can't do anything about him! Narrator John Mortenson shouted excitedly.

There was a huge cheer at the Manchester City Stadium, more than any before.

All the Manchester City fans jumped up from their seats, shouting the name of Glory and shouting hoarsely.

The second half started with a goal conceded and everyone was expecting glory.

They had been looking forward to it until now, and Glory did not disappoint them, and he helped Manchester City to take the lead!

No matter what the time, Glory never lives up to their expectations.

"Wing helped Manchester City take the lead and now it's 2-1 on aggregate, Manchester City are ahead, and although it's only one goal ahead, it's better than a draw or falling behind. In the next leg, there is still hope for Manchester City! ”

The televised cut gave Mourinho a close-up shot, and he was shown with a stern face.

Obviously, he was unhappy with the goal.

But he didn't go into a rage. At this point, he steadied.

He knew in his heart that even if Real Madrid lost this game by this score, it would not be a bad thing.

This is the advantage of the away first, the next leg, back to their home stadium, Real Madrid's fighting power will increase exponentially, and they are only one goal behind, and there is an away goal, as long as they can beat Manchester City 1-0 in the next leg, they can eliminate the opponent by virtue of the advantage of away goals.

Jose Mourinho is already planning the second leg.

While the City players were frantically celebrating the goal, he called Mesut Ozil to his side, lectured him on the occasion and then passed it on to his team-mates.

He asked the team to focus on defense after the game restarted, and not to think about counter-attacks. Now that there is not much time left in the game, Manchester City will definitely attack frantically under the encouragement of the glorious goal, and their attack will be very fierce when the time comes, if Real Madrid is still distracted and wants to attack, I am afraid that they will concede the goal.

Just don't think about scoring goals at all, and focus on defending the goal first, losing this game 1:2 is not an unacceptable result.

Mesut Ozil listened to Mourinho and returned to the pitch to relay Mourinho's instructions to his team-mates.

Many Real Madrid players are not very happy about losing the game, but now they can only accept it. After all, the glory is too fierce, and if you concede another goal and lose the game 1:3, it will be completely different from 1:2.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo was a little unhappy with Mourinho's decision, he pouted and said nothing.

He feels that with his current form, as long as the team supports him, he is confident that he will help the team equalize in the next time.

One away goal is good, but wouldn't it be better if we could get two away goals and level on aggregate at the same time?

Except for him, everyone else supported Mourinho's decision, and he had to pout and be sullen alone.

When City finished their celebrations and returned to the game, they did build on their post-goal momentum to launch a fierce attack on Real Madrid's goal.

Because they also know that 2-1 is not a very safe scoreline, and if they can score another goal, it will be better to beat Real Madrid 3-1.

They thought Real Madrid would send the whole team into a panic after conceding such a goal. As long as they attack with all their might, they will be able to tear through the Real Madrid defence and score again.

But when they did, they found that Real Madrid were not overwhelmed by Glory's brilliant goal, and their backline was still solid.

City's onslaught hit a solid stone wall and came to naught.

In fact, if it were Real Madrid in the past, such as Real Madrid under the coach of "Chilean engineer" Pellegrini, they would probably concede another goal quickly after conceding a goal, because Real Madrid's willpower at that time was their weakest link.

And now Real Madrid, under the tutelage of Mourinho, has become much tougher.

Even if the trident of Ibrahimovic, Rongguang and Kaka tried their best, they were unable to score another goal in the remaining time.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Manchester City and Real Madrid fans cheered at the same time.

The City fans cheered naturally because they came back from behind to win the game.

The Real Madrid fans cheered because the team withstood Manchester City's attack in the last minute and did not concede another goal, and the score of 1:2 was completely acceptable for them.

So there were cheers from both sides.

However, after the game, the media's expression was different from that of the fans.

The Spanish media have all said that Real Madrid have achieved a desirable result. The 1-2 scoreline left them just one goal behind, and one away goal was a favourable factor.

And the media in England were not very happy with the result of Manchester City's game. This score is not safe, it is too dangerous.

There are a number of arguments to support this view.

In the history of the Champions League, teams that lost 1-2 away in the first leg have a 55% chance of advancing to the second leg, more than half. The number of jù and history are more optimistic about Real Madrid.

Manchester City, for their part, clearly knew this, so they launched a fierce attack in the final moments of the game.

It's a pity that he couldn't score in the end.

Some English media have expressed concern about whether Manchester City will be able to get past Real Madrid.

But the glory is so confident that he seems to be very confident.

“…… Now we are ahead, and I don't understand why so many people don't think about us. In an interview with reporters, he expressed his doubts.

The reporter explained: "...... In terms of probability, the team that loses 1-2 away in the first leg has a higher chance of qualifying......"

"Probability doesn't have any reference value, those numbers belong to the previous team, and it has nothing to do with the current us." Rong Guang spread his hands, "Anyway, I don't believe in probability. Even if the probability you say is 99 percent, then we are 1 percent. ”

Benitez then echoed Rongguang's words, saying in an interview with reporters: "If you want to talk about history, as far as I know, Real Madrid has never managed to qualify in the history of the Champions League as long as they lose the first leg 1-2, right? ”

The reporters who asked this question were speechless.

Because that's really the case......

If it is really Real Madrid, the probability of advancing after losing 1-2 away in the first leg is ...... Zero.

Because of the hard work against Real Madrid, many of the players were out of fitness, so Benitez rotated for the weekend's league game.

In this game, even if it was rotated, Manchester City still looked tired.

Sunderland are in high spirits and want to beat Manchester City on the road.

However, Manchester City's overall strength is still stronger than Sunderland's, especially if this is still on their own home turf.

In the end, Manchester City beat Sunderland 3-2 at their home stadium, and Glory scored a goal in the game, which was City's second goal at the time.

Glory was then substituted in the 75th minute as Benitez prepared for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final in midweek.

Although Glory was substituted, the score on the field Manchester City and Sunderland were still inseparable, 2:2 draw.

However, the person who changed the glory was Kaka.

Kaka came on and grabbed a penalty in the box and found a good chance to give City the lead.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 3-2 to get the victory.

The vast majority of City's key players were rested and they were able to pick up the three points, which was a happy result.

Eighty-one points also allowed Manchester City to continue to lead Manchester United by five points.

Manchester United are now starting to pull off in the league, so City's three points are very important.

After the match against Sunderland, Manchester City began to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid.

Both the newspapers "As" and "Marca" have issued appeals, calling on Real Madrid fans to go to the Bernabeu Stadium when the time comes, and to turn the Bernabeu into a sea of white, and they want to make Manchester City feel the white terror.

Then they trailed by one goal on aggregate, but it looked like Real Madrid were on the verge of winning and were very confident of progressing.

Under these circumstances, Manchester City arrived in Madrid three days early, staying in a hotel while borrowing Atletico Madrid's training ground to prepare for the game.

As a sworn rival in the same city, Atletico Madrid is naturally willing to cause some trouble for Real Madrid, and they will be very happy if Real Madrid are eliminated in the end.

At this time, Atletico Madrid will not have any national concept.

And in Madrid, Manchester City has also received media attention.

After every day of training, there will be media blocking them and asking for interviews.

However, Benitez has given the players a gag order to prohibit them from making irresponsible remarks in front of reporters except for official press conferences.

Benitez takes this game very seriously and is cautious.

He didn't want to lose the game because of some minor negligence.

Real Madrid will be crazy when they return to their home stadium, will the Manchester City defence be able to withstand it then?

Benitez doesn't worry about offense, he worries about defense.
