Chapter 709: Two goals, Manchester City won 5-0 away against Shakhtar Donetsk

Manchester City came to the Donbass Stadium to take away the three points and determine the qualification spot in advance, so that they could focus on the domestic competition.

Pep Guardiola tweaked his line-up, with Gabriel Jesus starting in place of Sergio Aguero.

At eight o'clock the next night, the game started in the cold air.

The cold did not freeze the enthusiasm of the fans on both sides, and the number of Manchester City fans who came to the Donbass Arena reached 5,000!

Amid the shouts of fans on both sides, Manchester City, who took the lead in serving, launched a fierce attack on Shakhtar Donetsk.

In the second minute, Raheem Sterling, David Silva and Edouard Mendy combined on the left flank, with Mendy playing a low ball to David Silva!

David Silva stopped the ball and hooked his right foot in the direction of goal, only to hit the crossbar and bounce off the bottom line.

Three minutes later, Manchester City made a comeback, Li Chuanqi formed a breakthrough on the wing, inverted a triangle pass near the baseline, and De Bruyne, who followed up in the middle, pushed it with a kick!

It's a pity that he pursues the angle too much, and the football flies out of the bottom line against the post!

In the ninth minute of the first half, Manchester City took a tactical corner, De Bruyne and Sterling combined, the Belgian sent it directly to the goal, and Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Pyatov did not dare to slack off to save the ball from the bottom line.

In the thirteenth minute of the first half, City counter-attacked from the back and De Bruyne fed David Silva, whose pinpoint through-ball found Gabriel Jesus, but the Brazilian was blocked by the onrushing Pyatov.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Raheem Sterling accelerated away from a defender on the left flank and passed the ball, and Jesus stopped the ball in the box and turned and fired a left-footed shot away.

Manchester City controlled the situation on the field with their strong overall strength, and the offensive was like a tide!

This made the reporters on the sidelines shake their heads slightly, and some even asserted: "Pinning the hope of ending Manchester City's winning streak on Shakhtar looks like it is going to fail!" ”

In the twenty-fourth minute of the first half, Manchester City's attack finally paid off, and it was a blood-boiling picture: Li Chuanqi began to force a breakthrough on the left side, and five players in a row passed Shakhtar into the penalty area!

Shakhtar central defender Koryvistov made a mistake in his rush and brought Li Chuanqi down!

"Drop! ……”

The referee blew the whistle, awarded a penalty and issued a yellow card to Kryvestov.

The home fans shook their heads helplessly, and there were five players in a row...... This is the king of the ball?!

Manchester City fans roared with joy.

Li Chuanqi scored the penalty in one fell swoop!

1 to 0!

Manchester City broke the deadlock and took a one-goal lead.

Five minutes later, Shakhtar suffered another blow when City broke the ball up front, Mendy passed to Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian turned and shot was blocked, the ball went to David Silva and the Spaniard fired a left-footed shot at goal!

Break through the goal guarded by Pyatov!

Two to zero!

With two goals down, Shakhtar launched a frantic comeback, with City pressing aggressively in their own half.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Manchester City made a tackle at the back and David Silva transferred the football to the feet of Li Chuanqi.

Li Chuanqi drove straight in, ran more than 60 meters with the football, and after entering the penalty area, he made a horizontal pass, and Jesus was unmarked and shot successfully!

Three to zero!

Manchester City seal the win!

Jesus pointed at Li Chuanqi and jumped on him excitedly.

According to Pep Guardiola's position, Jesus is in the same position as Sergio Aguero, who is firmly in the main position with his qualifications.

Gabriel Jesus didn't get many chances.

It was his first start of the Champions League of the season and a single goal is bound to change the image he has in Pep Guardiola's mind.

The reason why Li Chuanqi gave up his own shot to pass the ball to him actually has this reason.

After all, Sergio Aguero is getting older, and Gabriel Jesus is in his prime.

If Gabriel Jesus is not reused at Manchester City, or if he is not having a good time, he will definitely leave Manchester City.

Li Chuanqi feels that Jesus' level is still good.

Of course, this should be a question for Guardiola to think about, but Li Chuanqi feels that he can also do something.

Of course, the group of reporters on the sidelines didn't know what Li Chuanqi thought, and was surprised: "Li actually gave up the opportunity to score? Doesn't he want to win the Champions League Golden Boot? ”

He was immediately ridiculed by his peers: "Champions League Golden Boot? Isn't that already Lee's? ”

"Yes, if he gives up this ball, it won't affect him in the Champions League Golden Boot at all!"

"Lee has scored nine goals in the Champions League! Who can compete with him for the Champions League Golden Boot? Messi, Ronaldo? The two of them scored two goals one and one scored only one goal! ”

"A man who can play the Champions League into a league, you are worried about whether he can win the Champions League Golden Boot?!"

The reporter who made a surprised voice hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean this, I think a player like Li is very sensitive to data......"

He was once again ridiculed by his peers: "You think he is Ronaldo? ”

'If he's so sensitive to stats, he created the penalty against Burnley three days ago, why did he give it to Kevin De Bruyne?'

"That's right, Li is improving his leadership!"

……

After taking a three-goal lead, City's offensive eased and Shakhtar took advantage of the opportunity to get a shot on goal.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Shakhtar got a corner kick opportunity, Mateenko pressed Stones, the header was rubbed back, and the football was out of the goal!

Three minutes later, City created another chance to score.

After Li Chuanqi broke through the full-back on the right, he sent the football to Jesus in the arc of the penalty area.

Gabriel Jesus dunked a defender near the line of the penalty area, made a slight adjustment, raised his right leg, and shot with a curling ball!

The ball is slightly out of the net!

In the end, Manchester City ended the first half with a three-goal lead.

After a fifteen-minute half-time break, players from both sides returned to the field.

"Drop! ……”

With the referee's whistle, the second half began.

What people didn't expect was that the Shakhtars' attack still didn't improve much, but Manchester City's pressing in the midfield paid off.

In the third minute of the second half, Li Chuanqi snatched the football from the opponent's feet and immediately handed it to De Bruyne, who responded.

De Bruyne goes straight to the ball!

Gabriel Jesus received the ball at high speed and crossed to the left on the line of the penalty area under the frontal defence of two Shakhtar players.

David Silva flew up and fired a low shot!

The football was blocked by the Shakhtar defender out of the bottom line!

City get a corner, De Bruyne sends a tactical corner, Mendy crosses from the left!

The ball flies towards the back post on the right side of the penalty area!

A shocking scene appeared: Li Chuanqi raised his right foot and volleyed directly!

The football is like a cannonball, blasting towards the goal!

A flash of white light flashed, and the ball crossed the goal line and slammed into the goal!

Four to zero!

Li Chuanqi scored twice!

Manchester City doubled the score!

This earth-shattering goal ignited the passion of Manchester City fans, and Manchester City fans frantically shouted Li Chuanqi's name: "Lee! ”

"Lee!"

"Lee!"

Two minutes later, Li Chuanqi was substituted to the applause of the fans.

Soon after, Kevin De Bruyne was also replaced by Seat B.

In the thirteenth minute of the second half, Manchester City launched a counterattack after breaking the ball at the back, and Sane ran wildly with the ball on the right flank, handing the football to the inserted B seat.

Seat B takes the ball and dribbles horizontally and shoots low at the penalty line!

The ball hits the inside of the left post and bounces into the net!

Five to zero!

In the end, Manchester City won Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 away, winning three consecutive Champions League victories and 14 consecutive victories in all competitions!
