"The Etihad Stadium had an unprecedented level of excitement tonight as Manchester City reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time, making history for the club in Europe, but not yet, they are one step away from the Champions League final and the European title!

The war in European football has come to an end, and today we will witness the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Etihad Stadium.

Can Manchester City get a home advantage against Atletico Madrid?

Or will the decisive battle be pushed to the second half at the Calderón Stadium?

Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Klich.

Midfielders: Fernando, De Bruyne, Fernandinho.

Forwards: Keylor Navas, Sergio Aguero, David Silva.

Sergio Aguero, Sergio Aguero, Atletico Madrid fans should have mixed feelings for Sergio Aguero at this moment, and they can't help but think of Sergio Aguero's heroic appearance at the Stadio Calderón for the Red and White Army.

They certainly wouldn't have expected to see Sergio Aguero break through his old club's goal, but Sergio Aguero, who won his first Premier League title with a one-time striker, is now a legendary striker for Manchester City!

Simeone's Atletico Madrid started today with 442.

Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Juanfran , Godin, Jimenez, Felipe Luiz.

Midfielders: Koke, Gabi, Fernandez, Saul.

Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Ye Yifeng.

If you want to say which striker in European football has risen the fastest in popularity this season, and the limelight is the strongest.

It is the new red and white king of Atletico Madrid, Ye Yifeng from China!

He led Atletico Madrid to the top of Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, and he also tops the La Liga scorer charts and is expected to become another player who can score 40 goals in a single season in Europe's top leagues.

Last season in the Europa League and the Bundesliga, the combination of Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne called for the wind and rain to be invincible!

De Bruyne is wearing the Manchester City jersey today, Ye Yifeng leads Atletico Madrid, the pair of twin stars who were close to each other last season are competing together today, and they are bound to set off a storm on the field!

The big game is about to begin, and the frenzied cheering at the Etihad Stadium heralds something extraordinary.

The referee blows the whistle and goes to war! ”

Once the game began, City launched a fast attack without probing.

When Kevin De Bruyne stepped up front, Ye Yifeng defended from behind him, wary of the other City midfielders cutting in from behind.

Manchester City's fast attack on the right flank, who moved from La Liga to the Premier League, was a speed maniac, and with Sania's limited support, he quickly hit Felipe Luiz and knocked the ball back diagonally, and De Bruyne took the initiative to receive it and went straight to the diagonal cross.

Godin and Jimenez defended their attention on Sergio Aguero, and the ball bounced off the ground at the back of the box.

David Silva was slow to follow up.

Simeone frowned slightly, the sudden threat of this kick to the footline pass was enough to raise the alarm in his heart.

This does not bode well.

Compared to Barcelona's diagonal pass, which requires players to respond and deliver lethal assists, De Bruyne's diagonal cross is closer to the goal, and if a teammate can cut inside, even if the angle is small, it can surprisingly form the first goal.

It's a shame that David Silva isn't the Terminator character.

When Ye Yifeng saw this cross, his heart rippled.

It seems to be reminded of the past when De Bruyne asked him to run to grab points almost two years ago after repeated passes on the pitch.

No one knows how much he misses this season!

No player in Atletico Madrid's squad has yet been able to deliver such a god-view pass to tear apart the opposition's defence, and if anyone does it by chance, it will be absolutely blind.

But then again, this kind of extreme passing into an assist will be amazing, and when it can't be played, it is often passed in the eyes of the audience, and if you change a player who is not at the level, it will be considered a few blind kicks.

In the 5th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid broke the ball in front of the field, and Koke immediately passed the ball diagonally forward after breaking the ball against David Silva.

Ye Yifeng ran to respond, Fernandinho rushed from the front to intercept, Ye Yifeng suddenly accelerated to the side area before touching the ball.

Fernandinho quickly turned and retreated, and Ye Yifeng met Klich in a quick forward along the wing.

After two rounds of fast pedaling on the bicycle at his feet, he sank his shoulders and faked his posture to cut inside, and after Klich swayed left and right, his center of gravity was deceived into the inside, and Ye Yifeng changed the direction of the ball and broke through the bottom from the outside line and sent a cross.

Griezmann slanted into the right rib of the penalty area without stopping the ball and shot directly with his feet!

The ball hit the goal-side netting and was half a metre away from hitting the goal.

De Bruyne saw Ye Yifeng's comical operation output in the backfield, and his expression was a little dazed.

I haven't seen him for a year, Ye Yifeng's strength has obviously become stronger again!

What has he experienced in La Liga this year?

De Bruyne is not actually clear, and what he knows is probably nothing more than from media reports.

Everyone has limited energy, and it is impossible to play their own games and watch other people's games.

Manchester City and Atletico Madrid spent most of the game in a hand-to-hand tug-of-war.

The clash of muscles in midfield made the scene more British.

England teams excel at fighting for every inch of territory, while Atletico Madrid have an iron-blooded style that never flinchs.

It is difficult to avoid collisions and frictions, because it is the semi-finals of the Champions League, they will refrain from their movements, avoid eating cards as much as possible, even if their hearts are on fire due to the collision, they are also calmly restrained.

In the 14th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng advanced quickly in the middle of the front field, stopped and pulled the ball in front of Fernando to change direction, and Fernandinho rushed to the pinch, and he immediately knocked the ball across the left side.

When Saul rushed up to answer, Ye Yifeng had already run forward.

When Saul passed the ball diagonally again, Ye Yifeng was intercepted by Belgian central defender Kompany as soon as he stopped the ball, he dialed the ball to the right side like a dragonfly, and when his body changed direction and tried to break through, he collided with Kompany, Kompany bounced Ye Yifeng slightly, but Ye Yifeng stood firm on the center of gravity of his body and continued to rush forward with a sudden force, Kompany couldn't keep up with his speed.

But he was experienced and dropped to the ground to stab the ball first down the left wing.

Klich controlled the ball on the side, and Ye Yifeng turned back to defend.

Manchester City fast-attacked, De Bruyne took the initiative to run at the back, stopped and passed, and the football flew to the left side of the frontfield.

Simeone couldn't sit still when David Silva stopped the ball on the left flank in front of the box.

Not only is it fast for the opponent to play fast from the back, but it also saves time with accurate passing, which means that Atletico Madrid has less time to switch from defense to attack.

David Silva was blocked by Juanfran and Gabi as he dribbled inside, and he crossed the ball diagonally between the two.

Aguero unexpectedly leaked the ball in Godin's unexpectedly on-the-go run, and went from receiving it directly to attacking the left rib area of the penalty area.

Godin hurriedly retreated, and Aguero scrambled the ball to a cross-cut and scrambled his shot just out of the corner.

The ball flew down the middle of the goal and went down the left and goalkeeper Oblak kept the ball away.

In the 18th minute of the game, De Bruyne cut forward from the midfield all the way to the goal, and when he received a pass from Sagna on the side and just dribbled forward in the front, Ye Yifeng accelerated from the side and tried to break the ball.

De Bruyne leaned slightly to the right to prevent him from losing his centre of gravity, but Fernandes followed up with a leg that sent him tumbling to the ground.

De Bruyne, who was rolling on the ground, immediately got up, and after turning his head and seeing that the person who had just collided with him was Ye Yifeng, he got up and walked towards Ye Yifeng with an angry face.

"Are you trying to hurt me?"

"Kevin, you're not going to be so vulnerable."

"That's not a reason why you just fouled me with your teammates!"

"Strictly speaking, there was no foul in my movements!"

"But you must know what he's going to do, right? Why? You know he's going to foul me after hitting me, and I'm probably going to get hurt! Why? ”

Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne were-for-tat, De Bruyne's expression was excited, but Ye Yifeng was serious with obvious strength.

The referee had already blown the whistle, but the two men had fallen on deaf ears.

Fernandinho and Fernando walked briskly behind Ye Yifeng, while Gabi, Saul, Koke and Godin also trotted in different directions behind De Bruyne.

It looks like there are teammates on both sides to support their star players.

But at the same time, De Bruyne made the same move with Ye Yifeng.

Ye Yifeng raised his hands and signaled his teammates not to approach.

De Bruyne raised his hand to Fernandinho with an excited expression.

"Don't come here!"

"Go back!"

The matter between the two of them is not the turn of others to get involved.

They can fix it themselves.

The players of both teams stopped, and their hearts were not happy.

If it weren't for the fact that one of these two people had almost knocked over the other just now.

They all have to wonder if both of them are undercover.

Manchester City and Atletico Madrid fans were confused.

But the fans who supported the two all the way from Wolfsburg were very understanding.

Ye Yifeng said to De Bruyne in a deep voice: "If you did the same thing to me, I would understand, Kevin, we are not teammates now, but opponents." ”

De Bruyne gritted his teeth, his expression flashed with a hint of complexity, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "So you can expect me to end up injured now?" ”

Ye Yifeng roared: "Of course not, I expect you to protect yourself on the court!"

Grass, I'm not the one who can still take care of each other with you on the field, but you have to protect yourself!

Just like I couldn't sit in front and wait for someone to get the ball to my feet, everything changed!

I never want to see you fall and fight me until the last second!

That's what you and I are fighting for in Wolfsburg!

Isn't it? ”

De Bruyne stared at Ye Yifeng silently, his expression returned to calm with high fighting spirit, and when the referee walked in front of the two, Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne shook hands in unison, and each walked away in one direction.

Everything has changed.

There's no going back.

The former Wolfsburg twin stars did not stage a blatantly contrarian break at the Etihad.

They just really cut off the trace of multiple fantasies that have been haunting their hearts, and the idea that they should be happy and excited to reunite.

Start killing each other on the green field!
