Manchester City are now in the devil's schedule, playing three games in ten days and now playing the final round of the Champions League group stage.

However, Manchester City has already qualified early, and most of the main players can be rested in rotation.

On December 13, the Champions League was ignited again.

Manchester City host Hoffenheim.

In the first leg, Manchester City won away from home, but the process was very difficult.

It was thanks to a hat-trick by Lee Chuanqi that Manchester City finally won the victory.

Manchester City are unbeaten until now, so the substitutes vowed before the game to win Hoffenheim and defend their home honours.

In the aftermath of the report, under intense pressure, Manchester City opted for solidarity.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 13th, the match between the two sides started on time at the Yin Tihad Stadium.

The Yoon Tihad Stadium is packed!

Manchester City fans repay their players in this form.

"Even if it's a downgrade, I won't choose to leave!"

This quote really touched the Manchester City fans.

They are lifelong Manchester City fans, but they are unlikely to be fans of a certain star for a lifetime.

In the Jin Yuan era, it was difficult for a player to stay on a team for the rest of his life.

Manchester City belonged to them as fans, but now they find that these players also seem to call Manchester City home.

】

That's family.

Of course, the family has to be supported.

Amid the loud shouts, the City substitutes launched fierce attacks on the opposing side.

As a new Premier League giant, although Manchester City cannot be compared with the old giants in terms of heritage, the depth of the bench can be compared with them, or even stronger than them.

So even if they send substitutes to play, Manchester City still has the absolute upper hand in terms of strength.

Li Chuanqi, De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and other players sat in the stands in casual clothes and cheered for the team with the fans.

In the sixth minute of the first half, Manchester City's attack failed, Hoffenheim launched a counterattack, Schultz broke through on the left and crossed, Grischi grabbed a backheel in front of the goal and hit the ball wide.

I don't know if it was the Manchester City substitutes who wanted to make a difference or if Hoffenheim came prepared, and City's attack did not play well and did not create a chance to score.

Instead, there were a lot of passing errors.

In the twelfth minute of the first half, Hoffenheim attacked after completing a steal at the back.

Bittenkurt inserted an inverted triangle pass on the left, and Kramaric followed up with a powerful push on the line of the penalty area only slightly higher!

Hoffenheim made a comeback two minutes later, Kramaric curled a right-footed curling shot from the left side of the penalty area, and Ederson flew to save and defuse the danger!

In the sixteenth minute of the first half, Laporte pulled down Hubnell behind in the penalty area for a foul, and referee Ekberg decisively pointed to the penalty spot!

Penalty kick!

Kramaric takes the penalty in one fell swoop!

Zero to one!

The home fans looked at each other and fell behind?!

Thinking about Manchester City's impressive results in recent games, Manchester City fans are not panicking, and they believe their team can come back.

As for Laporte's foul to give the opponent a penalty......

It's not a big deal, and the scene of Laporte blocking Hazard's long-range shot with his face against Chelsea has been etched in the minds of Manchester City fans.

This is the man behind Manchester City's miraculous victory over Chelsea!

After the game restarted, the Manchester City players seemed to come to their senses and made a lot fewer passing errors.

In the nineteenth minute of the first half, Sane crossed from the left corner, and Jesus grabbed a header in front of the goal and hit the post and popped up!

"Coax! ……”

There was a loud cry of regret on the pitch, followed by thunderous applause.

In the twenty-first minute of the first half, Gundogan's free kick crossed, Stones jumped high to grab the header and hit the goal, Hoffenheim goalkeeper Bowman subconsciously reached out to block it, and then held the ball on the goal line!

Manchester City were in full swing and the game was gradually gaining control and tempo.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Gundogan crossed a free kick from the left side of the field, Otamendi nodded the ball in front of him, and the ball hit the crossbar again and popped up!

In first-half stoppage time, Gabriel Jesus won a direct free-kick in front of Manchester City.

Leroy Sane took the direct free-kick from more than 20 yards out of goal.

The ball arcs in the air and flies towards the top left corner of the goal!

Hoffenheim goalkeeper Baumann couldn't reach it and could only watch the football fly into the goal!

One-to-one!

Manchester City equalised near the end of the first half thanks to Leroy Sane's brilliant free-kick!

In the end, the two sides ended the first half with a score of 1-1.

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

Manchester City continued their form late in the first half, putting pressure on the Hoffenheim defence.

In the fourth minute of the second half, Sane crossed from the left corner, and Laporte nodded the ball to the top and was blocked by Hoffenheim goalkeeper Baumann!

Laporte's follow-up shot was also defused!

The Spanish defender seemed to be trying to make up for his mistake with a goal.

In the eighth minute of the second half, Foden made the ball, and Jesus inserted into the bottom line of the penalty area to deduct the defender from a small angle!

Hoffenheim goalkeeper Bowman reaches out to block the ball off the line!

Then Sane took the ball from the left, and Otamendi nodded the ball high!

In the tenth minute of the second half, Manchester City counterattacked with three arrows in front, Foden burst into the penalty area to divide the ball, and Sane did it back to Bernardo Silva who was inserted in the middle!

This is the perfect opportunity to overtake the scoreline!

But Seat B's close-range shot was blocked by Bowman, and Manchester City missed the must-score!

There was a huge cry of regret in the stadium, followed by applause.

In the sixteenth minute of the second half, Manchester City played a quick counterattack, Foden slanted, Sane inserted into the penalty area to face Hoffenheim goalkeeper Bowman calmly scored with his left foot!

Sane seized the opportunity!

Two to one!

Man City leads!

In the next game, Manchester City will have to take advantage of the victory and continue to put pressure on the Hoffenheim defence.

In the 21st minute of the second half, Hubnell brought down Gabriel Jesus and was booked, and Gundogan's free-kick curled over the crossbar from the top of the arc.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Phil Foden tried a long-range shot with his left foot from the top of the arc and went just wide.

In the thirty-first minute of the second half, Foden crossed, and Phil Foden made a beautiful volley in the box!

Hoffenheim goalkeeper Bowman saves and flies over the crossbar.

Manchester City formed a succession of attacking chances.

In the final stretch of the game, City slowed down their attacking tempo while Hoffenheim stepped up defensively.

In the end, neither side scored and changed the situation on the pitch.

"Drip, drip, drip! ……”

Five minutes of stoppage time were up, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Manchester City won at home as they wished, defended their home glory, and continued to remain unbeaten!

And enter the round of 16 as the first in the group!

……

The knockout rounds of the Champions League are about to begin, and the test for Manchester City has just begun!

As for the reported incident...... Still fermenting.

Surprisingly, the day after the European giants gathered in Madrid, Florentino did not announce the establishment of the European Super League as planned.

Did something happen?
