At 7:45, the starters of both sides followed the four referees out of the players' tunnel and into the court.

They were greeted by a tsunami of cheers.

The Manchester City Sports Narrator on the broadcast table lamented: "Manchester City's home attendance this season is so amazing, almost full! Manchester City officially announced that Lee would be arriving at the Intihad Stadium, and within three hours, all the season packages were sold out!

It can be seen how popular Lee is!

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Lyon coach Genesio lined up a four-four-two formation, goalkeeper: Anthony López; Four defenders: Rafael, Marcelo Antonio, Denay, Mendy; Four midfielders: Kerné, Ndombelai, Diop, Oyar; Two strikers: Fekir and Depay!

That's pretty much Lyon's main lineup!

Pep Guardiola fielded his favorite four-three-three formation, goalkeeper: Ederson; Defenders: Kyle Walker, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Delph; Three midfielders: Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, David Silva; Three strikers: Lee, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling!

Kevin De Bruyne misses out the game through injury and Bernardo Silva will take on the burden of organising the attack.

It was Lee's first Champions League game for Manchester City and fans are looking forward to it.

One of the biggest reasons for Manchester City to bring in Lee is to consolidate their position in the Premier League and strive to successfully defend the title.

The second and most important is to hope that Lee can lead Manchester City to a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Manchester City's results in the Champions League have been unsatisfactory, in the 16-17 season, they stopped in the round of 16, and in the 17-18 season, they stopped in the quarter-finals.

Such an achievement cannot be directly proportional to the huge investment.

And Lee's arrival gave Manchester City hope of breaking through in the Champions League, because Lee led Atletico Madrid to two Champions League trophies!

His success and experience in the Champions League is where the hope of Manchester City fans lies!

De Bruyne's absence from this game was the biggest news of the game, and the media and fans were concerned about how Manchester City would play without De Bruyne?

Can Lee still be like in the Premier League, 'God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha'?

But everything changed yesterday afternoon, with the media and fans focusing on the Lyon manager and goalkeeper.

Lyon boss Genesio claims to have found a pattern to Lee's ups and downs, believing that after every five or six games, he falls into a slump.

After research, it was found that there is indeed this law, and relevant experts have also come forward to explain this reason.

An hour and a half ago, you entered the pitch and told reporters that he was in good form and could score tonight.

We hope he can continue his good form in the Premier League!

The biggest news came with Lyon goalkeeper Anthony López, who provoked Lee in an interview at the airport, believing that he could keep a clean sheet and also believing that he has no place in history as Messi and Ronaldo.

Lee used the phrase 'Who is Anthony López?' ', come as a counter-attack!

We don't know what the real reason for Anthony López to provoke Lee was, maybe to provoke Lee, or maybe to get the media and fans to pay attention to him.

Maybe both.

Regardless, he has managed to provoke the outrage of Manchester City fans and Lee supporters.

The story of the two has just begun, what kind of showdown will they give us tonight?

Can Anthony Lopez live up to his rhetoric and keep a clean sheet?

Will Lee hit back Anthony Lopes with goal after goal?

These are the highlights of tonight! ”

The group of reporters on the sidelines talked a lot, because someone broke the big news:

"They really almost got in the players' tunnel?!"

"Really!"

"Damn, why don't you fight?"

"Fighting? It's hard, after all, what Anthony López said didn't break the bottom line. ”

"How did I hear that it was the Lyon players who almost got into a fight?"

"Really? Tell me what's going on! ”

"I've heard that the players led by Anthony Lopes want to constantly stimulate and provoke Lee during the game, and the purpose is to provoke him and make him lose his mind, and the players represented by Traore do not approve of their approach."

"That's why I almost got into a fight?!"

"yes, I heard that Anthony López had his fists up, if it weren't for his teammates pulling ...... Then the situation is out of control......"

"Damn, an ordinary Champions League group stage, the game hasn't started yet, it's already so exciting?!"

"Looks like ...... Anthony López said that about Lee...... The purpose was indeed to provoke Lee. ”

】

"Look!"

A reporter pointed to the center circle of the stadium, where players from both sides were shaking hands.

When Li Chuanqi met Anthony López, he completely ignored his outstretched right hand and walked directly in front of him!

"Referee! He didn't shake my hand! You're going to punish him! ”

Anthony López is furious, damn it, this is an insult!

The referee frowned and asked the two assistant referees with his eyes.

The two assistant referees shrugged and said they didn't see it.

The referee walked towards Li Chuanqi, and Anthony Lopez snorted coldly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, boy! Fight with me! I'm not going to kill you!

"Lee, didn't you just shake hands with Anthony López?"

The referee came to Li Chuanqi, who was bending over and stretching, and asked in a low voice when he bent over.

"Who is Anthony López?"

Li Chuanqi looked up at the referee.

The referee said helplessly: "Their goalkeeper." ”

Li Chuanqi glanced at Anthony Lopez, who was gloating not far away, and said to the referee with a smile: "He doesn't deserve me to shake hands with him." ”

Really!

The referee said helplessly: "This is not good, why don't you go over and hug him now?" ”

Is this to open the net?

Li Chuanqi shook his head and refused: "According to the rules, you can deal with it as you want, and you can take out the cards when you should take out the cards." ”

People respect me for a foot, and I am still a foot.

If not, why should I respect him!

The referee struggled very much, and in the end he could only deal with it according to the rules, and it was a yellow card for Li Chuanqi!

Anthony López, who was not far away, saw this scene and quickly turned his face away, opened his mouth wide, and laughed silently.

Yes! I did it!

The game hasn't started yet, and I've already given him a yellow card!

What happened?

Sitting on the bench, Guardiola couldn't sit still, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted at the referee: "Why? Why did you show him a yellow card? ”

The assistant referee came to him and explained that it was because Li Chuanqi did not shake hands with Anthony Lopez, and according to the rules, a yellow card was to be shown.

Pep Guardiola will definitely be on his disciple's side, "You know there's a problem between them, this is the damn guy's conspiracy!" ”

He knew he couldn't change anything, so he had to reluctantly return to the bench.
