The clash between Manchester City and Barcelona has just ended, and the results of the match have been actively reported by sports media around the world.

4:0, which is indeed a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

You know, this score has tied the biggest Champions League loss score in the history of Barcelona.

In the 93/94 Champions League final, Barcelona, which has the title of Dream Team, defeated AC Milan 0:4 in Athens, which was full of injuries, and the ball control tactics were beaten by the defensive counterattack, which directly led to the disintegration of the first phase of the Barcelona dream.

In the group stage of the Champions League in the 97/98 season, Barcelona in the transitional period lost 0:4 at home to Dynamo Kiev, which made the nuclear warhead Shevchenko make a huge name in one fell swoop.

In the semifinals of the Champions League in the 12/13 season, Barcelona lost 0:4 to the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, and the aggregate score of the two legs was an exaggerated 0:7.

That series not only propelled Bayern to the throne of the new Cosmos, but also considered the end of the era of Barça's Dream III.

Now in the post-Dream III era, Barcelona suffered another 0:4 defeat, which is the fourth time in their team history that they have encountered this score.

This time it was 0:4, and Barcelona achieved the prestige of the 3G combination.

In addition to covering the game, the English media kept creating momentum for Manchester City and the 3G combination, only to announce to the public that the 3G era in football is coming.

Zhang Chaoqiang, as the absolute hero of two shots and one pass, has benefited the most and successfully earned a wave of good fame.

However, on the whole, although the media highly recognized Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Barcelona, it was not exaggerated to the extent that it became a god in a game.

After all, it's just a group game.

What's more, Barcelona still has three main players injured.

But through this game, Manchester City and the 3G combination did win a big wave of attention.

After winning Barcelona 4:0, Manchester City's Champions League group points increased to 9 points, chasing the same points as Barcelona, and successfully rose to the top of the group by virtue of the advantage of winning and losing.

In the other game in the same group, Borussia Mönchenchen drew 1-1 at home to Celtic and failed to take all three points.

So after four rounds of group stage, Manchester City and Barcelona have 9 points, Borussia Mönchen has 4 points, and Celtic has 1 point.

According to the points situation, Manchester City and Barcelona are a foregone conclusion that they will join hands to qualify, and there will be no big variables.

However, if Manchester City are to qualify as top of the group, they will have to win the remaining two rounds.

In other group games, Arsenal narrowly beat Ludogorets 3-2 away, Leicester drew 0-0 at FC Copenhagen and Tottenham lost 0-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

The Gunners won and qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League two rounds ahead of the tournament, becoming the first Premier League team to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League this season.

Originally, Leicester City could have advanced early if they won this round, but unfortunately they couldn't get three points.

However, they are still top of the group and it is only a matter of time before they qualify.

Only Tottenham Hotspur are the worse ones, having fallen to third place in the group after losing at home, and the qualification situation is quite unfavorable.

It can be said that Tottenham are the only team in the Premier League this season who are likely to be out of the group stage, and there is still a good chance of it.

In addition, in the Champions League scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang increased the number of goals to 5 goals after scoring twice in this round, and jumped to the second place in the scorer list.

At the moment, it is Messi who has scored more goals than Zhang Chaoqiang, with his tally of 6 goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Champions League Golden Boot in the previous four seasons, but he has not been in good form this season.

Only two goals have been scored in four rounds, which is really not very efficient.

Of course, this is for a player of Ronaldo's level.

If an ordinary striker scores two goals in four rounds, it's already a good efficiency.

Taking advantage of Manchester City's four-goal victory over Barcelona, Zhang Chaoqiang's agency also began to exert efforts to create momentum for him.

The agent, Jacques Freillo, came to Zhang Chaoqiang's house to communicate with him about related matters.

"According to the current mainstream perception, it is difficult for us to be in the top three of the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer of the Year, after all, Griezmann is the core player of the Champions League and European Championship runners-up, and he is the third person of the year who is expected to be this year."

"So let's change our goal and fight for the Team of the Year......"

Aiming for the Team of the Year is not an easy goal.

The Team of the Year has three striker positions, and in recent years, Cristiano Ronaldo Messi has been steadily occupying two positions for a long time, leaving only one place for other strikers.

Zhang Chaoqiang wants to fight for that position, and needs to compete with Griezmann, Suarez, Bale, Neymar and others.

Although Griezmann has a high probability of being in the top three of the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year, he will not necessarily be in the Team of the Year.

There was a precedent for a place in the top three of the awards but not being selected for the Team of the Year.

After all, the selection mechanism of the two awards is different.

What's more, Griezmann is a striker, and his overall goal tally is not much.

With the exception of Griezmann, several of the other candidates are not general.

Suarez is the La Liga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot.

Bale was a member of the Champions League winning team and also led Wales to the semi-finals of the European Championship.

Neymar was the third person of the year in 2015 and is extremely famous.

Zhang Chaoqiang's real achievement is to lead Lyon to the semifinals of the Champions League with core players, and staged a dark horse show.

And Zhang Chaoqiang scored a lot of goals last season, with a full 48, second only to Suarez among the main candidates.

Moreover, he also has an invisible advantage, which is FIFA's optimism.

Since becoming famous, FIFA has been silently promoting Zhang Chaoqiang, obviously aiming for the Chinese market behind him.

Therefore, as long as FIFA "helps" a little, Zhang Chaoqiang has every chance to beat several others and successfully be selected for this year's annual team.

After the Champions League in midweek, it was soon the weekend league game again.

On November 6, in the 11th round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted promoted Middlesbrough.

Fresh off the big win over Barcelona in midweek, Manchester City's morale was high, and they kept bombarding Myburgh all over the field, and completed a full 29 shots on goal.

The fly in the ointment is that the overall shooting efficiency is not high.

Only 8 of the 29 shots on target were scored and just one goal was scored.

In the 37th minute, Zhang Chaoqiang received a pass from De Bruyne in the penalty area and turned and shot hard but was blocked by Myburgh goalkeeper Valdés, and then Aguero grabbed the supplementary shot and scored.

Valdés is the Barcelona door god Valdés, and now he is old and comes to Myburgh to retire.

It may have been Manchester City's abuse of Barcelona in midweek that stimulated his form, and Valdés kept getting high and only missed a follow-up shot.

The games on the football pitch that bombard but can't convert goals are prone to accidents.

This is not a surprise.

Manchester City have scored just one goal, but as long as they don't concede, they can still get three points.

However, in the third minute of stoppage time at the end of the game, Myburgh caused chaos with a corner kick opportunity, and Dutch midfielder Druen stabbed the goal.

Manchester City suffered a late draw and could only accept a 1-1 result.

Possession was 76 per cent to 24 per cent, shots on goal were 29 to 5, shots on target were 8 to 2, and the final score was 1 to 1.

This is a classic pass-and-play point loss.

Elsewhere in this round, Manchester United finally ended a four-game winless run in the league with a 3-1 win away to Swansea City.

In addition, Chelsea and Liverpool both beat their respective opponents by five goals.

In the north London derby, Tottenham drew 1-1 away at Arsenal.

In the latest Premier League standings, Manchester City continues to occupy the top spot with 27 points, followed by Liverpool with 26 points, followed by Chelsea with 25 points, Arsenal with 24 points, Tottenham with 21 points and Manchester United with 18 points.

In the last three rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City has suffered two draws, and the teams behind them have all caught up.

If they drop another point, Manchester City will likely not be able to hold on to the top spot.
