Chapter 36 Manchester City VS Bayern, 4 goals in 20 minutes, crazy goal battle!

After the opening, Manchester City unceremoniously started an attack with Bayern, which surprised everyone who thought that Manchester City would focus on defense.

"Is Manchester City crazy? Dare to play against Bayern at the Allianz Arena? ”

"Don't they know what happens when they play them at Bayern's home stadium?"

Manchester City's choice came as a big surprise, and before the start of the game, there was almost unanimous belief that Pep Guardiola would adopt conservative tactics against Bayern, who knew he would be so aggressive.

"It's worthy of Guardiola, it's crazy enough!"

"It's really crazy, saying that he played against Bayern at the Allianz Arena, and sure enough, he played against Bayern!"

"I think Mourinho's madman title should be given to Pep Guardiola!"

"Hehe, Mourinho is just crazy with his words, his team's tactics are extremely conservative, not crazy at all, but Guardiola, every time he goes to the semi-finals or finals, he always surprises you to give you a big one.

This kind of person who constantly innovates and uses important games as a testing ground for his new tactics deserves to be called a madman! ”

The fans didn't care so much, seeing Manchester City choose to play against Bayern, the lively fans cheered for Guardiola.

Such a top strong team, it is exciting enough to play against the attack!

The kind of game where people who spend all their energy on defense and can't score a few goals in a game are drowsy, where is this kind of heart-wrenching goal battle?

After learning that Manchester City chose to play attacking tactics, more and more fans were attracted to this game.

The number of fans watching the game live at the same time around the world climbed dramatically, soon surpassing 500 million and almost breaking the Champions League viewership record.

On the court, the two sides tacitly improved the rhythm of the game to the extreme after the opening, and the speed of each other's attacks was amazing.

Maybe it was Bayern's attack a few seconds ago, but in the blink of an eye, Manchester City's counterattack hit Bayern's goal.

The fast-paced attack created great chances for both sides, and in the second minute, N'Golo Kante broke the ball and passed to De Bruyne, who went straight to Cerlin.

Lin Quan broke down the flank and passed to Sergio Aguero, who managed to counter offside and slotted into the box and fired from 10 yards out.

Neuer was in great form, making a flying save to save Aguero's powerful shot.

City took a corner but couldn't threaten.

Bayern played a quick counter-attack after clearing a corner, Robben broke through the wing and passed to Muller, who cut in after him, and Muller returned the ball on the left side of the box.

Thiago's 12-yard effort was blocked by Van Dijk.

This kind of fast-paced offensive and defensive game is addicted to neutral fans watching it.

That's what they think the Champions League semi-finals should look like!

However, both Bayern fans and Manchester City fans nervously raised their hearts to their throats, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Both teams look like they could score at any moment, and with a slight distraction, there is a good chance that they will miss the best moment to score.

The fans expected well, and the goal in this game came quickly.

In the 7th minute, Xavi Alonso's long-range shot was saved by Navas, and Bayern won a corner.

Alonso took the corner himself, took a look at the positions of both players in the box, made a tactical gesture and sent the ball towards the box.

The players on both sides in the penalty area are stuck in the position, pulling and pulling, and the whole penalty area is in chaos.

In the midst of the chaos, an unguarded Bayern player suddenly swooped in from outside the box and headed the ball into the back of the net before City's defenders could take position.

Benatia!

It was Bayern's central defender Benatia who scored the goal!

Bayern's corner tactics were very well coordinated, Xavi Alonso did not look for the team's high point, but specially selected an unguarded area, sent the ball here, and cooperated with Benatia who inserted from behind to complete the fatal blow.

Keylor Navas's reaction was already quick, his flying save touched the ball, but it was still unable to prevent the goal from falling and Manchester City fell behind Bayern 1-0!

The aggregate score between the two sides also became 2:1, and Manchester City temporarily led by one goal.

But it took just seven minutes for the opposition to pull a goal back, leaving City with just one goal ahead and more than 80 minutes remaining.

Few believe that Manchester City can hold on to that goal, especially if they opt for a game against Bayern.

At the moment of the goal, the Allianz Stadium was like a pot of boiling oil poured a scoop of water, and it boiled instantly.

Bayern's fans jumped and jumped, and they were all ecstatic.

This goal came so early, they had a feeling in their hearts that Bayern would score a lot of goals in this game!

On the other hand, Manchester City fans, seeing the opponent score so early, they were all stunned, and their faces couldn't help but show a worried look.

This is the Allianz Arena, so they let the opponent score so early, will they be able to hold it up for the next game?

On the sidelines, Bayern's coaching staff was completely boiling, and even Heynckes couldn't help but stand up and wave his fists vigorously.

On Manchester City's coaching side, Guardiola couldn't help but frown.

Manchester City will concede a goal at the Allianz Arena, which he expected.

City's defence is not strong enough to keep a clean sheet against Bayern, and it is only a matter of time before they concede a goal.

But conceding early and conceding late can mean something completely different.

The team conceded so early, Bayern's momentum will be stronger, and their next fierce attack, Manchester City may not be able to stop.

This game is a bit dangerous for Manchester City!

……

Pep Guardiola quickly made some changes to the defence, allowing his players to watch out for corners.

You can't fall twice on the same stone!

Bayern saw Pep Guardiola greeting the players and thought he was going to change his tactics and give up attacking.

However, what they didn't expect was that after Guardiola's shouting, Manchester City not only did not reduce the intensity of the attack, but further invested heavily in the attack.

This made Heynckes can't help but glance at Guardiola, regardless of whether the opponent's tactical choice is reasonable or not, this courage is much stronger than the average person.

After Bayern's goal, their morale was boosted, and they launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Manchester City for a while.

However, Manchester City's side were not intimidated by the opponent's attack, they were not affected by the goal just now, and after defending against Bayern's attack, they launched counterattacks against Bayern again and again.

However, Bayern's defence was tight, and their layers of interceptions and frantic pressing caused a lot of problems for City's attack, and although they created some chances, they did not convert them into goals.

In the 13th minute, Ribery received a pass from Schweinsteiger and dribbled the ball on the edge of the penalty area, attracting the attention of opposing defenders, and then passed the ball to Thomas Muller.

Muller dribbled into the box and Van Dijk defended very solidly, blocking almost all of Muller's passing lanes.

Good Muller, he was forced into the corner, almost lost the ball, without looking behind him, directly with his heel to send a wonderful pass to Lewandowski in the box.

Lewandowski understood and received the ball on the edge of the box.

The space and angle of this ball are very small, and the average striker is more likely to shoot hastily.

Lewandowski, however, had the audacity to fool Kompany with a feint, then dodged, half-spun and fired the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.

2:0!

Bayern got off to a dream start and had already equalised just 13 minutes into the game.

After scoring the goal, Lewandowski excitedly ran to the south stand, stripped to celebrate, and greeted the Bayern fans.

Lewandowski's quality is already strong, and when he was at Dortmund, he was already very efficient in scoring goals, and he was one of the top strikers in the Bundesliga.

But after coming to Bayern, this 'one' was removed, and now he is undoubtedly the No. 1 striker in the Bundesliga.

This season under Heynckes, he has not only won the Bundesliga, but also achieved very dazzling statistics in the Champions League.

Counting this goal, his goals in the Champions League this season have reached 10, beating Messi and Ronaldo and other big stars, ranking second in the Champions League scorer list, second only to Lin Quan at the top of the list.

If Bayern can win this game, then leading the team to defeat Manchester City, which has Lin Quan, Lewandowski is very likely to go one step further and be promoted from the first striker in the Bundesliga to the first striker in Europe!

In Lewandowski's opinion, he is very close to this goal!

Bayern's consecutive goals have made the Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena extremely excited.

It was as if they had seen Manchester City fall to their knees and their heads held high at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

"Oh, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, but that's it!"

"I think he can take off the title of the world's top coach from today, he is just a mediocre talent who became famous at the peak of Barcelona, and he has no outstanding skills!"

"Well said, he doesn't even have the basic judgment to be a coach, and such a person deserves to be called a famous coach?"

"From the moment Manchester City dared to play us at the Allianz Stadium, they lost!"

"Pep Guardiola really doesn't know whether to live or die, others don't know how fierce Bayern is at the Allianz Arena, and as a former coach of Bayern, doesn't he know it?"

"Perhaps, because when he was in charge of Bayern, Bayern's home stadium was not so strong, so he had the illusion that he could beat Bayern at the Allianz Arena?"

After Bayern's equaliser, Bayern fans devalued Guardiola for nothing.

In their opinion, Heynckes equalized the score in just 13 minutes, which is enough to prove that Heynckes is 10,000 times better than Guardiola.

This guy can succeed, it's nothing more than following Barcelona at his peak!

Although the neutral fans did not make sarcasm, they also had doubts about the strength of Guardiola and Manchester City.

With such a big advantage in hand, it only took 13 minutes to completely bury it, is Bayern too strong, or Manchester City too weak?

But doesn't Manchester City have the world's top coach Pep Guardiola and superstar Lin Quan in the team?

Such a luxurious lineup shouldn't be a weak team, right?

Many people cast skeptical glances at Manchester City's dugout, and they all had doubts about Pep Guardiola's quality.

If Manchester City do suffer a heavy defeat to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, it is debatable whether Pep Guardiola still deserves the title of world-class manager.

On the sidelines, Pep Guardiola was a little worried when he conceded the first goal.

But after conceding the second goal, he was completely free of mental burden.

Now that the two sides are back on the same running line, it's up to us to see who has the tougher life!

Bayern have run out of tricks, now let them see what Manchester City has to offer!

Pep Guardiola waved his hand and motioned for the players to press out.

Seeing Guardiola's gesture, Manchester City quickly changed formations.

Lin Quan appeared on the right side and was fixed here, becoming a right winger!

De Bruyne and Kroos and others behind him also began to move closer to the right, delivering shells to him behind Lin's body.

Manchester City's attacks began to concentrate from the right flank, a change that immediately caught Bayern's attention.

Because their defense on the left flank was quickly blown up!

Lin Quan's breakthrough on the side is almost unstoppable, no one can prevent him one-on-one, if multiple people are trapped, it will not only affect the attack in the frontcourt, but also make his own defense line porous.

You know, Lin Quan is not only good at dribbling and passing, but also has a strong passing ability, if he takes advantage of the loopholes in Bayern's defense and sends a fatal pass, Bayern is very likely to lose the ball.

This time didn't drag on for long!

In the 15th minute, Lin Quan broke through and sent a straight stopper, Aguero successfully knocked on the left rib of the penalty area against offside, and Lin Quan, who followed up, easily hit the ball into the empty goal.

Manchester City pulled a goal back and the score became 1-2!

The aggregate score between the two sides became 3:2!

It was a crucial goal that not only helped City stop their decline, but also secured a valuable away goal.

Don't look at the current Manchester City only 1 goal ahead, but because of the away goals, Bayern must score at least 2 goals if they want to beat them!

In other words, this goal equals two goals!

The two goals that Bayern had worked so hard to score before came to naught under Lin Quan's goal.

However, this is not the end of the story, and without waiting for Bayern to make adjustments, Manchester City took advantage of the holes in the opposition on the left side of the defense and took advantage of this weakness to fight to the death.

In the 19th minute, Kroos sent a long pass, and Lin Quan sent a cross on the right side of the penalty area.

Boateng missed the ball and was unable to intercept it, and David Silva fired a powerful shot into the bottom left corner of the net from 10 yards!

2:2!

Manchester City equalised!

The aggregate score between the two sides also became 4:2!

Manchester City have extended their goal difference to two and they now have two away goals compared to when they started the game!

Bayern will need to score at least three goals in the next matches if they want to qualify for the final!

Three goals don't seem impossible for Bayern, who have a strong attack.

After all, they scored two goals in just 13 minutes in the opening game, but the difficulty is that Bayern can limit Manchester City and prevent Manchester City from scoring while scoring goals.

If they score a goal and Manchester City score a goal, they will never be able to catch it back!
