On October 29, in the 10th round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged West Bromwich Albion away.

Since there is no strong game in this round of the Premier League, and the English media has previously hyped Manchester City into a bottleneck, so Manchester City's game has received a lot of attention.

If Manchester City drop points away from home, the Champions League fixture in midweek is likely to be unlucky.

However, the result did not give rise to the English media, who were waiting to see the show.

After a week of rest, Kevin De Bruyne has found his form and Sergio Aguero has performed well as City have won the three points comfortably 4-0 away from home.

Zhang Chaoqiang played only 60 minutes before resting, and only received one assist.

Pep Guardiola asked him to stay in preparation for the home game against Barcelona.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have all managed to win their respective opponents in the rest of the round, so the difference between the top four in the Premier League table remains unchanged.

However, Tottenham and Manchester United have both managed to draw just one.

Tottenham drew 1-1 at home to Leicester City and given the defending Premier League champions, dropping points was understandable.

Manchester United, on the other hand, drew 0-0 at home to promoted Burnley, which was a bit of a disappointment for Red Devils fans.

In the last four rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United has not tasted victory with three draws and one loss.

The four results were a 1-1 draw with Stoke City, a 0-0 draw with Liverpool, a 0-4 defeat to Chelsea and a 0-0 draw with Burnley.

Even if they are winless in four games, they have only scored one goal in four games, and the Red Devils' attacking ability has been seriously questioned.

Many English media outlets have pointed the finger at Jose Mourinho, believing that it was his conservative tactics that prevented United from scoring.

In particular, Manchester United has the most valuable midfielder in football, Paul Pogba, and the super striker Ibrahimovic in the attack.

You must know that in Ligue 1 last season, Ibrahimovic beat Zhang Chaoqiang to win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot.

Now that both of them are in the Premier League, Zhang Chaoqiang is still a strong contender for the Golden Boot, while Ibrahimovic has suffered six consecutive goal droughts since the fourth round of the league.

By the way, Zhang Chaoqiang has not scored in the last two rounds of the league, but he still ranks first in the Premier League scorer list with 10 goals.

Diego Costa, who is provisionally second in the scorers' list, has eight goals, while Lukaku, who is third, has seven goals.

After a comfortable win away to West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City returned to Manchester with all their players training hard and awaiting Barcelona's visit.

On November 2, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage arrived.

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City fans played the huge team emblem Tifo, which was bound to win this game.

"After losing to Barcelona in the last round of the group stage, the Blue Moon has lost five consecutive games against Barcelona, so this game is not only a direct competition for the top spot in the group, but also a home honor game for Manchester City."

"To be a really competitive team, Manchester City have to prove themselves by beating Barcelona at home!"

With Manchester City's non-stop winning streak some time ago, the mainstream media in Europe have raised their expectations for Manchester City.

In the Champions League favorites list, Manchester City has surpassed Juventus and Real Madrid to become the third favorite to win the Champions League after Barcelona Bayern.

Although Real Madrid are the defending champions of the Champions League, their performance in the Champions League since the start of the new season has not been ideal, and they are a little unable to beat Dortmund in the same group.

On top of that, Ronaldo's goalscoring efficiency seems to have dropped significantly.

Therefore, Real Madrid has been looked down on to a certain extent, and has fallen behind Manchester City, relegated to the fourth favorite in the Champions League.

But the favorites are very illusory, and it's hard to really hit.

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City and Barcelona are ready to start with the cheers of the fans.

Manchester City played with all the main players, and only the goalkeeper position was replaced by Caballero.

Bravo was suspended for a red card in the last round, so he could only start with the Argentine goalkeeper in this game.

On Barcelona's side, their personnel changes are not small.

Alba and Pique, who were previously injured, have yet to return, and recently injured veteran Andres Iniesta.

So at present, Barcelona has three main players injured.

Fortunately, MSN started all the games, and it did not affect the gimmick of the strong battle.

With the whistle of Hungarian referee Kaushoi, the second leg of the 3G vs. MSN officially began.

Barcelona kicked off first, and after a brief trial, they quickly launched an attack.

Andres Iniesta was injured and Barcelona sent Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomez to start.

Gomes appeared to be in good form, delivering a quality half-high diagonal pass from the first attack, but Suarez fired high from the cushion under the interference of Stones and Otamendi.

Then it was City's turn to attack, De Bruyne and David Silva combined to link up the wall and sent a through ball, Raheem Sterling stepped into the box from the right and crossed, and Sergio Aguero followed up with a lift of his foot.

Oh————

The fans jumped up, but finally ended with a sigh of hugging their heads.

'The attack had created chances but Sergio Aguero was too conservative and was easily denied by Ter Stegen.

"If Aguero doesn't play this kick and leaks the ball, Zhang Chaoqiang has a good chance to score."

'But on the other hand, City created chances from the first attack, they are in good shape and will be looking to get their revenge at home......

In the weekend league, Ah Kun also completed the double ring in good form.

Unexpectedly, when he switched to the Champions League to play Barcelona, he immediately softened.

On the pitch, the situation of the game was similar to the first leg, with both sides focusing on attack and fighting against each other.

In the 9th minute, after the two teams exchanged the ball back and forth twice, it was Manchester City who controlled the ball and pressed it to the front.

De Bruyne pretended to wait and see the ball in front of the penalty area, but suddenly fired a long-range shot close to the ground with a cold arrow.

Kirter Stegen reacted quickly and flew to save the ball off the line.

Then De Bruyne took a tactical corner, and David Silva took the ball on the periphery and picked up a pass, trying to find Zhang Chaoqiang in front of the goal.

Umtiti saw Silva's intentions and immediately jumped up to clear the ball with a header.

Zhang Chaoqiang was running in front of the Barcelona goal, and when he looked back and saw Umtiti jumping to clear the siege, he judged that the attack would be destroyed, so he slowed down and turned around to observe the ownership of the ball.

Silva's pass was spinning, and Umtiti's hasty jump clearance was not successful, but instead made a header back.

The football was rubbed by this and quickly flew to Zhang Chaoqiang's side.

Zhang Chaoqiang, who was already in a state with his back to the goal, reacted immediately, immediately twisted his waist and stepped to turn his body, waved his right leg with turning inertia, and struggled to pump the football in the air.

Wow!!

The fans at the scene let out a chorus of exclamations, witnessing the football being vigorously pumped towards the Barcelona goal.

The ball is extremely fast, just like a shooting star.

Ter Stegen in front of the goal bent his knees slightly, ready to save in advance, but he couldn't react at all.

The soccer ball swooped past him and slammed headlong into the net with the sound of the wind, pulling out a huge net.

“goooooooooooal——————————”

"The ball is in!! Super Zhang!! Very beautiful turn volley!! ”

"It was a turning volley with his back to the goal, it was powerful, it was so powerful that it didn't give Ter Stegen any chance to save at all!"

'The important thing is that the goal was a tacit assist from Umtiti.

"The French defender sent the ball to the side with a standard header, which gave him this opportunity to shoot, and the two are old Lyon teammates who know each other very well."

While the commentator praised Zhang Chaoqiang's goal, he did not forget to ridicule Umtiti, who assisted in an own goal.

At this time, the domestic commentators also cheered wildly.

"It's so beautiful!! Zhang Chaoqiang turned and volleyed in front of the goal, and helped Manchester City open the scoring with a domineering goal! ”

"Facing Barcelona three times in his career, Zhang Chaoqiang will score in every game no matter how he wins or loses."

"Hopefully this time the Manchester City players will not make another low-level mistake and ruin this good start......

Three times against Barcelona, at neutral venue, away, at home.

Zhang Chaoqiang can score something in every game, which is also an alternative record.
