After Torres missed the penalty, Atletico's attack never posed much of a threat.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Guardiola replaced Lin Quan and others one after another after the 75th minute of the second half.

However, to his surprise, as soon as Lin Quan came off the field, Manchester City got a penalty opportunity in an attack.

This made many fans feel sorry for Lin Quan, if he didn't get off the field, as the first penalty taker in the team, he would definitely take the penalty.

With Lin Quan's penalty hit rate, scoring this goal is a high probability event, so he can complete the hat trick!

It's a pity that Guardiola's substitution was a little early!

Lin Quan was not present, and Aguero stood at the penalty spot.

However, I don't know if it was infected by Torres or what, his penalty was also missed.

Oblak was on the right track and made a fine save to deny Sergio Aguero's penalty.

Aguero is going to die of depression!

It's this guy again, he doesn't know how many chances he has been ruined by this guy in this game, if he hadn't had this guy, he would have scored at least two goals!

After missing the penalty, Pep Guardiola quickly replaced Sergio Aguero and brought on a very young youngster – 17-year-old Kylian Mbappe!

This also made Mbappe 17 years and 139 days old, breaking the record previously held by Lin Quan as the youngest Champions League appearance in the history of Manchester City.

On the bench, when Lin Quan learned about this, he also got up and gave Mbappe a round of applause.

Mbappe broke this record enough to rank in the top four in the history of the Champions League.

The intensity of the Champions League is higher than that of the big five leagues, and to be able to play in such a fierce competition is an affirmation and recognition for young players.

Without great talent and a lot of potential, it's hard for them to play in this kind of game, even if it's a bit of garbage time.

After Mbappe came on the pitch, he was very positive, and even caused a burst of exclamations from the fans at the scene because he used his speed to force an overtake on the side and pass a Atletico player.

However, the 17-year-old director is still too immature, the weapons in his arsenal are not comprehensive, although the speed is fast, but otherwise it is almost meaningless, in the face of Atletico Madrid's level of defense, it is difficult for Mbappe to complete the explosion by fighting alone.

In the end, the score of the two teams was still fixed at 1:2, Atletico Madrid lost to Manchester City at home, and was defeated by the opponent home and away, regrettably stopping the Champions League semifinals.

Manchester City, on the other hand, achieved the feat of reaching the Champions League final for the third year in a row, making them the seventh team in the history of the Champions League and the first team in the Premier League to do so.

If they can win again in this year's final, they will become only the fourth team in Europe to complete a Champions League treble after Real Madrid, Ajax and Bayern Munich.

At the same time, it will also become the first team to win this honor since the Champions League restructuring!

In view of this, countless fans have set their sights on another game - the peak matchup of Real Madrid away vs Bayern!

Coincidentally, both teams have completed the feat of winning the Champions League three times in a row!

For them, whoever wins will be responsible for stopping Manchester City at the San Siro!

Compared to Manchester City's match against Atletico Madrid, the match between Real Madrid and Bayern is actually more concerned.

The reason is also very simple, the gap between the strength of Atletico Madrid and Manchester City is relatively large, and Manchester City's advantage in the first game is too great, so almost no one is optimistic about Atletico Madrid, everyone thinks that this game is just to clock in to work, nothing to see.

But the match between Real Madrid and Bayern is different!

Although in the first leg, Real Madrid beat Bayern 1-0 at home thanks to Benzema's goal.

But the difference of 1 goal is not a particularly big gap for a team with strong attacking power like Real Madrid and Bayern.

What's more, the schedule of away and then home is more favorable to Bayern, so many fans in the outside world are optimistic that Bayern will overturn Real Madrid at home.

In the face of Bayern, which has strong offensive strength, Zidane's tactical arrangement tends to be conservative.

In this game, Real Madrid lined up a 442 formation, intending to strengthen the defense on the side while controlling the midfield, and contain the opponent's attack from the side.

Compared with Real Madrid, Bayern's lineup is much more aggressive.

The old coach Heynckes discharged a 4141 formation at the Allianz Arena!

This formation greatly strengthens the power of the wings, but the weaknesses are also obvious, the defensive pressure of the single back is extremely high, and it is easy to be broken by the opponent's strong attack!

However, Heynckes was not afraid of these risks and resolutely chose this formation.

After the opening, Bayern launched the most fierce attack on Real Madrid by virtue of home advantage.

In the first 30 minutes, Bayern had a whopping 11 shots on goal, 5 of which were on target, but all of them were saved by the Real Madrid goalkeeper!

It was none other than Courtois, a Belgian and Kevin De Bruyne's old acquaintance who Real Madrid had loaned from Chelsea from Chelsea during the winter break! (Note: Generally speaking, players who have represented a team in the Champions League cannot continue to play in the Champions League after transferring to a new team during the winter break. ）

When Courtois returned to Chelsea, he was complacent about joining a big club and even squeezing out veteran goalkeepers like Petr Cech by fighting in the palace.

However, as Chelsea began to fall in the league and Champions League, Courtois's heart began to grow restless.

Seeing that the big ship of Chelsea is gradually sinking, and the sky of the Premier League is gradually shrouded in sky blue, he feels that he has no development prospects in the Premier League, and may even be dragged down by Chelsea, he began to behave and seek a transfer by boycotting the training and boycotting the game.

Abou still admires Courtois, otherwise he would not have sold the meritorious goalkeeper Cech to keep him as young.

So in the face of Courtois's vexatiousness, Abu rarely did not get angry and did not agree to Courtois's transfer.

However, manager Guus Hiddink did not want such a cancer in his squad, so Chelsea had to send Courtois out on loan.

It just so happened that Real Madrid has been lacking a good goalkeeper because of the mistake of De Gea's transfer operation in the summer window.

The two sides hit it off, with Real Madrid signing a one-year loan deal with Chelsea, bringing Thibaut Courtois to the Bernabeu.

Couchatovis has been outstanding for Real Madrid this season and has already won the approval of his team-mates and even the club's hierarchy.

Brilliant saves like this one have been seen in La Liga and other Champions League games before.

But the better Courtois performs, the worse his image will be in the eyes of Chelsea fans.

After all, anyone who is not blind can see that Courtois's performance this season is similar to his performance at Chelsea last season!

This guy didn't do his best when he was at Chelsea, he was completely fishing!

Courtois's excellent performance tried to keep Real Madrid's goal intact, but Real Madrid couldn't find too good counterattack opportunities under Bayern's strong attack.

The situation is still very passive for Real Madrid, which makes Real Madrid fans feel very worried.

And that fear was soon fulfilled!

In the 34th minute of the first half, Bayern attacked again, Lewandowski returned the ball to his teammate at the edge of the penalty area, and Xavi Alonso, who was inserted behind, came with a high-quality world wave.

Although Courtois made the first save, and it was his trademark flying save.

Courtois's stretching in the air was indeed chic, but it didn't work at all, and the ball flew into the net with a thud!

Bayern took the lead in scoring and rewrote the score to 1:0, and the total score also came to 1:1!

The two sides are back on the same starting line!

"Alonso!"

"Alonso!"

"Alonso!"

The fans at the Allianz Arena shouted Brother Long's name in unison, eager to give all the beautiful words to this old and strong player!

The veteran, who is about to turn 35 years old, is still an indispensable brain in the Bayern squad at this time!

His command and dispatch, his precise long passing, are crucial for Bayern!

How important is Xavi Alonso?

It can be seen from the proportion of touches and passes data!

In Bayern's games, Xavi Alonso often accounts for a third of the team's passes!

This is not only unique in the Bundesliga, but there is no second player like this in the entire top five leagues.

After he came to the Bundesliga, he broke the record of the highest number of touches, the highest passes and the highest number of passes completed in a single game in the Bundesliga!

Brother Long not only plays a big role in attack, but also an indispensable barrier in front of Bayern's backline when defending.

He has repeatedly used his excellent defensive experience to help the team defuse crises, winning high recognition from his teammates and fans!

For Bayern fans, Xavi Alonso's only drawback is probably age!

If only he weren't 35 years old, but 25 years old!

……

Bayern's first goal made Zidane's face very solemn: the name of the devil's home stadium at the Allianz Stadium is indeed worthy of its name.

No wonder Manchester City lost here last year!

However, Real Madrid must not lose, he has done his homework for a long time to deal with Manchester City, how can he fall at the feet of Bayern in advance before seeing Manchester City?

With a big wave of his hand, he used a trick!

"Zidane is going to change formation!"

Somewhere in a box at the Allianz Stadium, Guardiola suddenly spoke.

Lin Quan nodded, the situation is so passive, if you don't make any moves, what awaits Real Madrid is a slow death.

"What do you think he'll do?"

Lin Quan asked.

"Real Madrid's two wings are very strong, we should do more about this, and Ronaldo's position should be changed, it should be placed behind Benzema, and it should not be parallel to him."

After the transformation, Ronaldo has a very strong finishing ability.

But he is not a traditional center after all, and his ability to hold the ball with his back and stand on the pile is relatively weak.

Let him be in front of him is easy to be targeted by the opposing defender, and he can't exert his power.

At this time, he should be allowed to retreat a little, give him enough space to move, and when attacking, Benzema in front of him should make the ball for him, and use his strong finishing ability to equalize the score as soon as possible.

"Well, that makes sense, but I think Zidane might change the position of Bale or even Isco as well!"

In this game, not only Ronaldo was invisible on the field, but except for Benzema, these people in the front court of Real Madrid did not perform well.

Bale's incisive breakthrough is gone, as is Isco's outstanding dribbling and passing ability.

Modric is in the middle, but his teammates are collectively disconnected, and no matter how strong he is, it won't help.

As for Casemiro, his main task is to defend well, and the offensive things are not up to him.

If Zidane can't find a way to activate these players, Real Madrid's passivity may continue!

Guardiola thought for a moment and nodded seriously.

What Lin Quan said is really very possible.

What the two discussed was quickly fulfilled, and Real Madrid really adjusted accordingly.

But Zidane's adjustment made Guardiola's eyes widen: This is too bold, right?

"Front-back?"

Lin Quan was also a little surprised, Casemiro's position was advanced by Zidane, and it seemed to be used to protect and respond to Isco!

Isco has solid skills, excellent dribbling, and is good at breaking and passing, but he has a very obvious shortcoming, which is that he can't defend.

Taking advantage of this weakness, Bayern has not been less interested in finding opportunities from him.

And Zidane, in order to make up for this loophole, let Casemiro come out and wipe his ass, which can be regarded as a last resort!

It's just that Casemiro is gone, what about the position of the midfield?

Is it like Manchester City, with the full-backs on top as the midfielders, and the back four into three central defenders?

Well, this possibility is not impossible, after all, the three-centre-back system led by Pep Guardiola is very popular in European football, and many teams have learned and borrowed from it.

However, what Lin Quan and Guardiola didn't expect was that Zidane arranged an unexpected candidate to appear in this position - Bale!

"Huh? Let Bale play in the back? Am I right? ”

"Is Zizou learning from Pep Guardiola and giving everyone a good job in the competition?"

"If that's the case, then Zizu can be said to be taking his life to live, if this game is lost, Real Madrid's Champions League dream this season will be shattered again, and I'm afraid that Qizu will not have good fruit to eat after he goes back, and he will be swept away by Real Madrid!"

"I think this arrangement of Qi Zu is not a whole job that I came up with by patting my head, it really has a saying!"

"That's right, Bale played at full-back when he was at Tottenham and he was promoted to the winger position after discovering his speed and attacking talent, at least in the early days, he started as a left-back!"

"Since he has played at left-back, then his defensive ability is certainly not weak, and now it is popular to let full-backs adduct to play at the back, and the full-backs of other teams can do it, but it makes no sense that Bale can't!"

"But isn't it too condescending to let Bell go to the back and do the dirty work?"

"Well, I said, is it possible that Bale is not playing as a midfielder, but as a B2B midfielder?"
