Just nine minutes into the game, Zhang Chaoqiang scored a beautiful turning volley, and the Etihad Stadium immediately fell into a boil.

In the stands, Manchester City fans held up blue scarves and kept shouting "Super Zhang".

In the middle of the court, Zhang Chaoqiang, who scored the goal, rushed to the sidelines with his fists clenched, and jumped three feet high in excitement.

But then he was pushed and pressed on the grass by his Manchester City teammates who arrived, and everyone cheered excitedly.

Having faced Barcelona on a five-game losing streak, the whole Manchester City team would love to win.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang's domineering goal has given them hope of winning.

Prior to Zhang's arrival, Manchester City had played four games against Barcelona and had not taken a single minute lead.

In the last round away to Barcelona, Manchester City took a 2-1 lead before the end of the first half, but the good game was quickly ruined by Bravo's low-level mistakes.

But that game made the whole Manchester City team realise that we are more than capable of beating Barcelona.

'Guys, it's a good chance for us to beat Barca.'

"Everyone, concentrate, don't relax, we have to win tonight!"

After the celebration, Zabaleta, who wore the captain's armband, stepped forward to remind his teammates and boost the morale of the team.

Manchester City's captain is Vincent Kompany, who has just returned and has been on the bench for the weekend due to his poor league performances at the weekend.

The second captain is Yaya Toure, who is currently at odds with Pep Guardiola and has been in the reserves.

So now it's up to third captain Zabaleta to wear the captain's armband.

Perhaps it was Zabaleta's encouragement that played a role, and after the game resumed, Manchester City took advantage of the high morale to keep attacking the Barcelona defence.

In the 14th minute, Kevin De Bruyne got rid of Andre Gomez and sent a through ball from Andre Gomez, and Sergio Aguero slotted home before cutting in front of goal, but the linesman raised the flag for offside.

According to the replay, Aguero was only a small offside position, just half a body.

If he hadn't been so anxious when he stepped forward, maybe the ball would have been there.

In fact, Ah Kun is also in a hurry to score.

In the first round of the group stage, he scored a hat-trick against Borussia Mönchenchen, but since then he has been in a goal drought, even Zhang Chaoqiang has scored four goals with the efficiency of one goal per game, but Ah Kun still maintains three goals.

In the 20th minute, Zhang Chaoqiang changed positions on the right side and dribbled past Digne and crossed, Sterling took the ball on the line of the small penalty area to shake off Mascherano, and was brought down by Umtiti when he continued to break through.

The Manchester City players immediately shouted for a penalty, but the Hungarian referee dismissed it as normal physical contact and finally gave Raheem Sterling, who was the most protesting man, a yellow card.

The decision resulted in boos at the Etihad Stadium.

'Umtiti's action was a big foul and it was a controversial decision.

"The reason why the referee made such a decision may be that he doesn't want the game to lose suspense too early......"

The domestic commentary does not shout a black whistle like the English, only a controversial penalty.

But one thing everyone knows is that if a penalty is really given, Zhang Chaoqiang, as Manchester City's first penalty taker, has a good chance to score a brace.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, it was basically Manchester City who led the attack.

It wasn't until the City players slowed down after their physical exertion that Barcelona finally found some attacking rhythm.

However, Iniesta's absence has had a big impact on Barcelona, and Busquets alone obviously can't support the Barcelona midfield.

So for the rest of the first half, Manchester City still had the upper hand.

In the 42nd minute, Busquets made a mistake in the midfield, David Silva got the ball and went straight forward, and Zhang Chaoqiang received the ball smoothly in front of the penalty area and sent the ball into the Barcelona penalty area.

De Bruyne burst into the box and fired a low shot into the box, and the Barcelona goal was breached again.

"Good shot! De Bruyne scored with a low shot and Zhang Chaoqiang provided an assist. ”

'The first half is not over yet, Manchester City have a two-goal lead, and this game has a good chance of winning.

"As long as the second half is stable, it shouldn't be a problem for Manchester City to win the game......

Amid a chorus of praise, the first half ended with Manchester City returning to the dressing room with a 2-0 lead.

Pep Guardiola didn't make many adjustments, just continued to emphasise possession in midfield.

In Iniesta's absence, Manchester City's midfield had an absolute advantage, so there was a tendency to be one-sided in the first half.

Compared to MSN, the 3G combination can get much more support in the midfield.

But Barcelona was obviously unwilling to admit defeat, and quickly blew the horn of counterattack at the beginning of the second half.

In the 47th minute, Messi passed the ball, and Neymar burst into the penalty area and shot hard, completing Barcelona's first shot within the goal range of the game, but was violently defused by Caballero.

Five minutes later, Andre Gomez's long-range shot hit the crossbar again.

The situation on the pitch has changed, Barcelona seems to be about to get up, and the Manchester City fans who have been happy for the whole first half are worried again.

In the last four seasons, they have lost five consecutive seasons against Barcelona, and Manchester City fans have some psychological effects.

Countless fans craned their necks to stare at the pitch, praying not to concede the ball.

In the 56th minute, Barcelona attacked again and did not threaten, and Manchester City launched a quick counterattack.

Zhang Chaoqiang received a pass from Kolarov near the center circle and immediately accelerated his charge.

Busquets stepped forward to intercept as soon as possible, trying to delay Manchester City's counter-attack and buy Barcelona time to recover.

But Zhang Chaoqiang just received the ball and accelerated, and then slowed down to smash the ball.

A simple and unpretentious stoppage change of direction disrupted Busquets' footsteps and could only watch his target pass.

Zhang Chaoqiang rushed forward with the wind on the soles of his feet, and Umtiti, Digne and others chased back frantically, but they only followed behind him to eat ashes.

Umtiti, as an old teammate, only chased more than ten meters before stopping, because he knew that he couldn't catch up.

Digne chased after him, but he couldn't shorten the distance between the two.

In a moment, Zhang Chaoqiang had rushed to the front of the Barcelona penalty area.

Mascherano, the only one who was dragged at the end, barely stepped forward, and Zhang Chaoqiang shook it with a skillful bicycle and continued to rush towards the Barcelona goal.

Ter Stegen had to abandon the door to attack, and Zhang Chaoqiang made a slight adjustment and made a decisive move.

Hit hard!

The right foot kicks the soccer ball with a strong instep, giving it a great take-off speed.

Ter Stegen, as a top goalkeeper, also reacted quickly during the attack.

But it's still a little slower.

The soccer ball flew just over his arm and crashed headlong into the net.

“goooooooooooal————————”

"The ball is in!! Super Zhang!! Super fast horse!! He used a long run to break down the Barcelona goal, which was a beautiful goal!! ”

"At the critical moment when Barcelona kept attacking, Super Zhang used his speed advantage to complete the counterattack and score a goal, stabilizing the morale of Manchester City."

"It was a game-killing goal, Man City are 3-0 up and they won't give Barcelona any chance to turn the tables around!"

"And these three goals, each of them is closely related to Super Zhang, he contributed two shots and one pass!"

"It can be said that Super Zhang completely dominated this strong battle, and his performance tonight was the best!"

The English commentator cheered wildly, and did not hesitate to give Zhang Chaoqiang all kinds of praise.

On the field, Zhang Chaoqiang, who scored the goal, had already rushed to the sidelines excitedly and greeted the cheers of the fans with open arms.

All kinds of crazy cheers in the stands surged down like a tide, and they all rushed away with Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Well done!"

"That's wonderful, Zhang."

"It's just crazy personal performance."

"Get rid of Barcelona and we're going to win the group."

Manchester City's teammates all rushed over and kept praising Zhang Chaoqiang's goal.

At the same time, the domestic commentators were also praising Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Good job, Zhang Chaoqiang! Another beautiful thousand-mile solo ride!! ”

"When I was in Lyon, Zhang Chaoqiang often staged this kind of good show, because Lyon played many teams with defensive counterattacks, which can leave Zhang Chaoqiang enough space."

"After joining Manchester City, due to the main passing and control tactics, Zhang Chaoqiang has less space to sprint, but he can still seize the opportunity and give full play to his speed advantage."

"This is Zhang Chaoqiang's fifth goal in the Champions League group stage this season, which not only sets a new personal Champions League record, but also equals Manchester City's Champions League group stage record."

"In the group stage of the Champions League in the 13/14 season, Sergio Aguero scored five goals, setting a record for Manchester City."

"Now, Zhang Chaoqiang has equaled this record."

※※※

Zhang Chaoqiang scored the team's third goal, which put the game back in Manchester City's hands.

By the time the whole Manchester City team celebrated wildly and the game resumed, the morale that Barcelona had managed to gather had almost dissipated.

Barcelona itself is not a team that is good at playing against the wind.

What's more, the wind in this game is a bit against the grain.

Barcelona coach Enrique was not willing to give up, and soon replaced the somewhat invisible Rakitic with Alda Turan.

However, the Turk's arrival did not bring much change to Barcelona, on the contrary, it was the departure of Rakitic that caused their possession to further decline.

So on the pitch, Manchester City has a clear advantage.

In the 68th and 73rd minutes, Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero squandered two good chances in quick succession and didn't make the score any uglier.

Seeing that the game had basically been won, Guardiola replaced Zhang Chaoqiang with Gundogan in the 75th minute, and officially called it a day.

Zhang Chaoqiang raised his hands above his head and walked slowly off the field while applauding.

The Manchester City fans stood up and cheered the heroes off the pitch with loud applause.

"In fact, if Zhang continues to stay on the field, he may be able to find a chance to complete a hat-trick."

"But the Manchester City manager is Pep Guardiola after all, and he probably wants to save some face for his old club."

The England commentator took a different approach and found a reasonable explanation for the substitution.

Because anyone with eyes can see that Zhang Chaoqiang is the one in the best condition of the whole Manchester City team, there is no reason to be the first to be replaced.

But even after Zhang Chaoqiang went down, Manchester City still completed the fourth goal.

In the 84th minute, Sergio Aguero crossed from the left, and De Bruyne stepped forward and poked his toes, and the ball successfully penetrated the Barcelona defense.

Substitute Gundogan followed up with a volley to extend the score to 4-0.

Both teams then did not score again until full-time.

"What kind of battle for Manchester City is this? It's a revenge war! ”

"Manchester City beat Barcelona 4-0 at home, not only defeated the opponent at home to complete revenge, but also jumped to the top of the group."

"Super Zhang justified himself with his excellent performance of two shots and one pass, and also justified the name of the 3G combination and Manchester City......"

After the game, it was time for commentators from all over the world to praise Zhang Chaoqiang.
