Borussia Dortmund dominated the Etihad Stadium with a tsunami of cheers from less than 3,000 fans, with Joe Hart turning his back to the fans and treating them as his own.
Throughout the game, the goalkeeper of the defending Premier League champion was bombarded by the Germans 20 times, and the opponent hit the target 12 times, saving to the end.
City fans, by contrast, were eerily quiet, perhaps struck by the Champions League spectacle of an average of one shot every three minutes, until Bason was awarded a penalty in the last minute of the game, when they raised their arms and chanted the song of Balotelli. Sir Alex Ferguson tilted his head, what they should remember was not how they had escaped death again.
It wasn't just Hart who stood out, as Nasri warmed up Weidenfeller with a powerful shot in the first minute of the game, and then twice stopped Aguero from breaking through.
But Weidenfeller's performance was quickly overpowered by Hart on the other side, and within 60 seconds, Götze made a single shot from a small angle, a random shot made the wind in front of Manchester City, Hart blew his gloves, he already understood what was going to greet him, and at the end of the first half, he had saved 13 times in this Champions League, only behind the Cluj goalkeeper.
But in the 60th minute, no matter how brave he was, he couldn't stop Guan Peng, who went straight in, intercepted Rodwell's pass, Guan Peng finally shot the ball into Hart's net, the England goalkeeper touched the ball, but finally couldn't stop the ball into the net, he lay on the ground, frustrated but did not blame his teammates for negligence, until Dortmund soon grabbed the ball in the midfield and launched an attack. The England international raised his arms to tell his teammates, and Mancini, who was on the sidelines, also stomped his feet in a hurry.
Weidenfeller was a lot more relaxed in the second half, except for Sergio Aguero's header that posed a little threat to him, but unfortunately a team-mate's handball allowed the referee to award City a penalty.
I saw that my clean sheet tonight was coming. He went up to the referee and muttered a lot in front of Bashen, who was about to serve, but Bashen ignored him and tricked him into sending the penalty into the net, at which point Barot responded with the Italian's trademark "what do you mean" gesture to Weidenfeller.
Hart, who knelt down in front of goal to pray for Balotelli, was finally relieved after the goal was scored, and the score became 1-1, a result that both sides could grudgingly accept.
But even in stoppage time after that, Levanovski delivered a powerful shot. Manchester City fans went from high-pitched to low-key for 90 minutes, breathing a sigh of relief and immersing themselves in Dortmund's small delegation of more than 2,000 people.
If it is said that last season's early exit was due to underestimating the enemy. Now, after another two-game winless run, Manchester City fans should really feel that there is no weakness in the Champions League.
The word pit dad is made for him! Manchester City's 12 million new signing Rodwell almost ruined Mancini tonight, after it was reported that the long-established England star was not actually Mancini's choice, but belonged to the Italian population of the so-called Manchester City club's passive recruitment. Mancini's complaint proved quite justified. Rodwell is no different to Liverpool's Jordan Henderson.
Rodwell, a child star who was chased by both Manchester United and Chelsea, has died down in the last two years for the simple reason that frequent injuries and slow pace of progress have left the two giants impatient to wait for the 21-year-old to continue to mature, but this summer. Manchester City suddenly spent £12 million to recruit him, or followed his dream of becoming a giant.
However, in the first and second rounds of the Premier League, he left a "deep impression" on Manchester City fans, and in the first round at home to Southampton, Rodwell inexplicably passed the ball directly to the opponent. As a result, they conceded a goal 2-1 and almost ruined their 28-game home unbeaten run in the league.
In the second round of the trip to Liverpool, he came off the bench and blocked Gerrard's long-range shot with his hand, but was awarded a free kick, allowing Suarez to score directly into the world.
A series of mistakes made Mancini very depressed, not to mention replacing Barry's position, even De Jong, who has been transferred to Milan, is much more reliable than him, originally Xavi Garcia's recent excellent performance has gradually forgotten the various problems in the back position of Manchester City, but this game against Dortmund Espanyol accidentally strained his thigh muscle and could not continue to play, and Barry was not in the list, Mancini had to be anxious to send Rodwell again.
In the 62nd minute, Rodwell made an extremely amateur cross mistake at the back, directly stuffed the ball to Guan Peng, who was inserted at high speed, and the Chinese single-handedly entered the penalty area and calmly hit the far corner to break the net.
The goal was a bolt from the blue for Manchester City and Roberto Mancini, and Rodwell was so ashamed that he couldn't even explain it, but fortunately Balotelli finally scored a penalty to lessen Rodwell's guilt a little.
As for the great luck in the misfortune, I am afraid that Mancini can finally make a firm statement in the future: unless the chicken rib game, Rodwell will not be able to play.
In the rating given by Sky Sports after the game, Rodwell took the worst score of 4 without any suspense, and the comment he gave was: the most stupid mistake that almost put Manchester City out of the game. This is not the first time that Rodwell has failed a grade, as he has only picked up five points in the first two rounds of the Premier League.
Of course, Rodwell has become a parallel commodity, and the Manchester City club hierarchy is not to blame. In order not to lose to mortal enemies such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in momentum, Manchester City signed several people in a row just before the transfer window closed, including the £12 million Rodwell.
At that time, it was reported that Mancini was extremely dissatisfied with the negative recruitment, insisting that he had not yet bought the player he really wanted, and that Manchester City would definitely make big moves in the winter transfer period, and that real Manchester City fans might only accept Xavi Garcia by now.
Mancini said in an interview: "I admire Borussia Dortmund's number 10, yes is the Chinese midfielder Guan Peng, I think his way of playing is very good, his arrival will strengthen our Manchester City midfield, we have been chasing the Bundesliga star, but unfortunately we have not had the opportunity to work together, I hope he will seriously consider our offer." ”
Of course, Mancini found the gap between his team's midfield and Dortmund's twin stars through the game, and the combination of Guan Peng and Gotze simply played Manchester City's midfield, and there was no way to stop Gotze and Guan Peng's play, which also made Mancini focus on the two players who performed well.
After the game, Manchester City FC made a formal offer to Dortmund for 70 million euros to buy Gotze and Guan Peng, which caused an uproar after the media reported it.
