Casemiro's goal made the situation of the game confusing again, and Manchester City had already begun to try to control the tempo of the game after taking the lead, using their best possession tactics to drain Real Madrid's sharpness and game time little by little.

But Casemiro's goal disrupted everything and the score was back on the same page, and City could no longer continue to execute on their original plan.

And Real Madrid's morale was completely boosted by Casemiro's goal, and they found it not so difficult to break through Manchester City's defence.

Manchester City's defence is really strong, but Casemiro's surprise goal just now proves that as long as you take the opportunity well, you can still score.

As for how to create chances and seize them, it depends on the performance of this group of stars in the Real Madrid team.

After a successful one-time finish, Modric consciously distributed more of the ball to the left side.

Benzema, on the other hand, had just instigated a goal and was in the excitement stage, and after receiving a pass from Luka Modric, he was extraordinarily active, frequently trying to create chances on the wing with his personal strength.

He was originally guarded by the pair of Van Dijk and Stones, but after coming to the side, he suddenly had a feeling that the sea was wide and the sky was high and the birds were flying.

Compared to the defensive density in the middle, the defensive intensity on the wing is much weaker, and as long as he does not force himself to make up for a crowded place, he is in a one-on-one advantageous position most of the time.

Benzema's footwork is good, and with the body of a center forward, he has an advantage in physical confrontation.

And unlike the average wide player, Benzema is not the kind of full-back who crosses with the ball, but a player who likes to move on the edge of the box, this kind of passing point that is active in the ribs and is very close to outflanking teammates in the box, and the threat to Manchester City's goal is far greater than that of the average wide player.

In those ten minutes, Benzema made three successful attempts on the flank, and failed twice.

A successful three-shot shot was created and a shot on goal, with a cross cleared by a defender.

Among them, if it weren't for the attention of Manchester City's goalkeeper and the volley of Ronaldo, it would be difficult for Real Madrid to achieve a reversal of the score.

During this period, Real Madrid's attacking momentum was very ferocious, and under the continuous delivery of shells by the midfield trio, their attacks gradually formed a siege of Manchester City's goal.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in front of Manchester City's goal, and the overall formation was pressed very backward, even if the defense was successful and the ball was cleared, but because the outside was basically Real Madrid's players, the ball would soon return to Real Madrid's feet, and then continue to besiege Manchester City.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were very excited, just to play like this, this is the real strength of Real Madrid.

What a bullshit European champion, there is only a kneeling share in front of our Real Madrid!

Thanks to the strong support provided by his teammates, Ronaldo was given many chances to shoot on goal during this time.

But Ronaldo's luck didn't seem to be good, and his shots were either saved by the goalkeeper or too angled, grazing the post.

But Ronaldo has a feeling that he is close to scoring his second goal.

Sometimes, the players' instincts are very accurate.

In the 69th minute, Manchester City were in a hurry to push the line out after clearing the ball, but Gundogan was suddenly tackled by Modric while watching with the ball.

Modric did not snatch the ball in the first place, but forced Gundogan to be forced to pass back.

When Gundogan returned the pass, a white figure rushed forward and snatched the ball away before the Manchester City players - Gareth Bale!

City immediately organized a counter-attack after conceding the ball, and Bale's dribbling line was almost completely cut off, but Modric did not return to the middle after pressing Gundogan, but went to the side like a wide player.

Bale only felt a white figure flash past him, and without thinking about it, he passed the ball directly.

Luka Modric received the ball without adjusting and only had time to glance at the box before being squeezed down by a Manchester City player.

Luka Modric's pass was tricky, between City's goalkeeper and three defenders in the box.

The four Manchester City players closest to the landing point were unable to clear the ball in the first place, but instead a man who fought along the ribs, relying on spiritual movement and keen sense of smell, shot the ball into the net the moment it hit the ground.

The scorer was Real Madrid's number 7 – Cristiano Ronaldo!

It looked like a mediocre goal, and it seemed that it only needed to stretch out your foot and lightly pad it to score.

However, it is actually very difficult to score because it requires players to have excellent shooting skills, top nose, excellent off-ball movement and accurate prediction of where the ball will land.

A striker who can combine these skills can count in a slap in the entire football world!

Perhaps in terms of visual impact, this goal is not as good as Lin Quan and Messi's goals that have passed five levels and cut six generals and broke through alone.

But as long as you know the ball, you can see Ronaldo's skills from this goal.

He's known as a superstar, and he obviously has a real talent!

Cristiano Ronaldo looked very excited after the goal, and he had a feeling that this goal could seal the victory and help the team win a Champions League trophy!

On the sidelines, Real Madrid's head coach Zidane calmly put his hands in his pockets one second, looking light, and the next second he saw Ronaldo's goal, he clenched his fists excitedly, bent his legs, and let out a huge roar!

At this moment, he threw all the demeanor, master demeanor and other things out of the clouds!

Fuck the demeanor, fuck the outside world, Lao Tzu doesn't care anymore, Lao Tzu's team is going to win the championship!

Real Madrid both knew how meaningful this goal was, so when Ronaldo ran to the sidelines to celebrate, the players on the bench and even some club staff rushed over and celebrated wildly.

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, this moment also seems to be dominated by Real Madrid fans.

Although the number of people is smaller than that of their opponents, the momentum they make and the movement they create far exceed their opponents.

At this moment, the Real Madrid fans, both live and in front of the TV, were almost cheering and celebrating.

Is the 10th Champions League trophy for a single club in the history of the Champions League finally about to be won by Real Madrid?

They have been waiting for this moment for fifteen years!

After winning the ninth Champions League trophy in the team's history in the 2001-2002 season, countless Real Madrid fans are looking forward to winning the 10th Big Ears Cup as soon as possible.

But even Real Madrid, which has gathered a number of top stars and built an incomparably luxurious Galaxy Battleship, still failed to do so, and even fell into a trough after the end of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, unable to make a breakthrough in the Champions League all year round, and once fell to the point of being the sixteenth in the Champions League.

Over the years, Real Madrid has spent a lot of money in the transfer market, with big-name stars arriving one after another, and managers changing one after another.

But the team always loses in the Champions League, first met Barcelona at its peak, and finally survived Barcelona, and Manchester City rose again.

Real Madrid are always a little short of winning the tenth title in team history.

This has made countless fans eager to see through it, and they don't know when they will be able to achieve their wishes.

And at this moment, they saw hope!

The dawn of victory is just around the corner, and countless Real Madrid fans seem to have seen the Big Ears Cup beckoning to them!

"Damn it!"

Guardiola saw that the opponent had scored again, and angrily kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him.

The fourth official glanced at him, and when he saw the other party's unfortunate look, he ignored it.

Pep Guardiola was angry, not angry with the players, although he did have an unshirkable responsibility for losing the players on the pitch this time.

But more of the blame lies with him.

As early as before, when Bale frequently attacked Manchester City's left wing, he thought about making a substitution.

At that time, Pep Guardiola planned to bring on Fernandinho and replace Gundogan to strengthen the defence.

Gundogan is actually doing quite well, but he is not a full-time defensive midfielder after all, so you can't ask too much of him.

Fernandinho is different, if he plays, Manchester City's double back is the kind of sweeping midfield, which can effectively limit the play of the opponent's midfield.

But in this way, almost all of the team's organizational and offensive tasks are pressed on Lin Quan and David Silva.

N'Golo Kante and Fernandini are weak in attack, and with the vast majority of their energy to dedicate to defence, they can't be expected to contribute much in attack.

Therefore, such a substitution seems a bit risky.

This is the main reason for Guardiola's hesitation!

But it was such a hesitation that he conceded two goals in ten minutes, which completely reversed the tide of the game.

Manchester City went from being the leader to being the one behind them.

Now they are not only under pressure defensively, but also offensively.

Real Madrid can continue to attack Manchester City with the momentum of scoring goals one after another.

You can also start to control the tempo of the game, defend solidly and consume time, as Manchester City did before.

The initiative of the game, after Ronaldo scored his second goal, has been completely reversed.

Pep Guardiola is not an indecisive person, and now that he has realised that there are problems with the team's defence, he no longer hesitates.

He quickly made up his mind to make substitutions and adjustments, and it was a one-time change for two people!

Fernandini comes on and Gundogan comes off.

Sane comes on and Sergio Aguero comes off.

If the first substitution is a counter-substitution and can be understood, then the second substitution is a bit confusing.

Sane is a winger, take him for Aguero, so who will play as a striker in Manchester City?

The answer is Mbappe!

And what surprised the fans even more was that Guardiola did not let Fernandinho play as a midfielder, but let Fernandinho play fullback, making Manchester City's formation a very eccentric 5131.

Fans said they couldn't understand it, what kind of formation is this?

Haven't seen it at all!

Not to mention ordinary fans, even Manchester City fans have never seen it.

A three-centre-back formation?

It's not like that!

Manchester City have only two centre-backs, one midfielder and two full-backs.

Can this play a back three?

And isn't Sane's position wrong, according to this formation, he should play left wing-back, but why is his position more like a left winger?

But what's even more strange is that Mbappe can play a 18-year-old player who is used to being a winger to play as a striker?

I can't read it, I really can't understand it!

Fans have wondered if Guardiola's habitual work has been committed again, and not only has it been committed, but it has also brought a big deal to the big guys.

After seeing the opponent change formation, Zidane also frowned involuntarily.

Why can't you understand the other party's intentions?

Isn't it a bit brutal for Fernandinho to be such a good defensive midfielder, not in the position of the back back, but in the position of full-back?

Although David Silva does have good organizational skills, it is not impossible to put him in the position of receiving the forward midfield, but the pressure to be faced in this position is much greater than that of the wing, can David Silva carry it?

As for whether Mbappe can play as a striker, Zidane is not clear about this, but judging from the impact that Mbappe has shown before, his threat should not be underestimated.

In the stands, the coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, couldn't help but sit up straight after seeing Guardiola's change of hand.

He was interested in Pep Guardiola's tactics, but more interested in Mbappe's performance as a striker.

He doesn't doubt Guardiola's eyes at all, and since Guardiola did it, he naturally has his reasons.

Therefore, he is looking forward to seeing more surprises from Mbappe up front.

In the box of the stadium, after the team took the lead, Florentino's mood also relaxed.

Like Didier Deschamps, he is appreciative and closely follows Mbappe's performance.

Of the 11 Manchester City players on the pitch, three of them are of the most interest to him.

The first place is, of course, Lin Quan, the second is Mbappe, and the third is N'Golo Kante.

It was too difficult to dig up the forest, and Real Madrid basically didn't have any hope.

Although Kante is good, Casemiro's performance is not bad, and Real Madrid is not in a hurry for the time being.

But Mbappe, for Real Madrid, this is a guy they are very anxious to buy.

As Bale gets older, injuries increase, and Cristiano Ronaldo gradually moves from winger to centre-forward, Real Madrid is almost without a full-fledger.

Mbappe, a young, talented, fast, impactful winger, is simply tailor-made for Real Madrid!

Florentino is looking forward to seeing Mbappe show more of his abilities, and of course, he would prefer Real Madrid to win in the end.

In this way, amid the doubts, curiosity and even expectations of all parties, the game restarted.

How effective Manchester City's change of formation is ultimately to be tested from the game!

And when the game resumed, the Real Madrid players quickly felt that their opponents had become a little different.

Although it was just two people changed, it was like a different team, giving them a strange feeling. (End of chapter)
