Although Lin Quan didn't take Dzeko's hostility to heart, his light in this game was too dazzling to cover it up at all.

In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Lin Quan dribbled horizontally at the front of the penalty area, all the way from the left side to the right, stunned and messed up the opponent's back line with his own strength, and finally sent a straight kick to assist Aguero to score easily.

Manchester City 1:0 Roma!

Manchester City's goal was so unpretentious, so simple!

After falling behind, Roma tried to counter-attack and try to equalise.

But they were soon beaten in the face.

In the 26th minute, taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's attack and the lack of defense in the back, Manchester City played a quick counterattack.

Lin Quan took the initiative to retreat to receive the ball, and then transferred to De Bruyne on the wing.

De Bruyne looked up to look up at his teammates up front, and then made a wide shift to find Mbappe on the flank.

Mbappe used his speed to shake off defenders and cut inside directly after receiving the ball.

The defenders who dragged the opponent back had no choice but to come up and block Mbappe's shot angle.

However, Mbappe's shot was a feint, and after fooling the opposing defender, he flicked the ball forward and a figure sped past him!

This person is none other than Lin Quan, who galloped all the way along the central axis.

Mbappe's ball passed very well, the force was moderate, and the angle was also good, eliminating the step of Lin Quan stopping the ball to adjust, so he chose to shoot directly without stopping the ball.

Roma goalkeeper Alisson could do nothing but watch as the ball penetrated his own door once again.

Although Alisson's performance this season has been outstanding, such a close-range shot can only be in vain, even if the gods come.

What's more, the person who shot the goal is named Lin Quan, which is even more difficult to pounce.

In less than 30 minutes, City have already scored two goals.

The trend of this game is just as predicted by the experts before the game, Roma, the dark horse, in front of the mighty Manchester City, showed the prototype, was beaten without any defense, and there was no chance of winning at all.

"With this style of play, Manchester City can still score, and this game will probably be a slaughter!"

In the CCTV studio, even the two commentators shook their heads frequently after seeing this situation, feeling pessimistic about the prospects of Rome.

"That's right, Manchester City's form is getting up too fast, and it's on their home turf and it's the first leg, so they're definitely not going to let it go, they're going to take the opportunity and try to finish the fight in one leg."

"And the tragedy of Barcelona's tragic reversal before also reminded them that Roma is a team with a lot of resilience, if you don't seize the opportunity to completely kill the opponent, the next leg will be at the home of Rome, maybe you will be reversed by Rome if you are not careful."

Teacher Zhan Jun sighed lightly, and Xiao He defeated Xiao He.

Roma miraculously reversed Barcelona and became the biggest dark horse in the Champions League this season.

But it was precisely this game that made all the other giants more vigilant and did not dare to be careless about Roma.

There are examples of Barcelona in front of them, and when they meet Roma, they will definitely give their best and score as much as they can.

The two commentators were right, and City's first-half goalscoring performance wasn't over yet.

In first-half stoppage time, just when Roma lowered their vigilance and thought they could take a break, Manchester City seized the last tens of seconds to launch a fast attack.

One second the ball was back and forth at the back of the Manchester City backfield, and the next second, the ball was quickly passed through two feet on the wing and had been moved to the edge of the Roma penalty area.

Lin Quan burst into the penalty area after dribbling the ball, and Phalos and Maloras were a little caught off guard, and the two joined forces to stop him.

Alisson was taken aback, his opponent's attack was too fast for him to be prepared.

At this time, seeing Lin Quan swinging his legs and preparing to shoot, Alisson could only guess the direction of the opponent's shot to save.

However, Lin Quan's shot was just a feint, and when Alisson handed over his weight, he kicked the ball to the other side without hurrying.

Alisson guessed lonely and was completely tricked by Lin Quan.

At half-time, 3:0, the score was a bit exaggerated.

The Roma players obviously did not expect such a major blow on the road, so when they left the game, the players looked depressed and morale was low.

In the stands, the Roma fans who traveled with the team were heartbroken after seeing this score.

Those who can come all the way from Italy to cheer on the team are all die-hard Roma fans.

They still have a lot of expectations for the team before the game, after all, Roma have just beaten Barcelona 3-0 at home.

If the team can beat a top club like Barcelona, there is no reason why they can't touch Manchester City.

Manchester City is just a little bit better than Barcelona, it's not a big deal.

With such optimism, these Roma fans came to the Etihad.

Then they saw a scene that broke their hearts, wept and broke down emotionally - their own team was completely destroyed by Manchester City!

From the first half of the game, it was clear that the two sides were not teams of the same grade at all.

Manchester City's overall quality, speed and success rate are much better than them.

And in the face of Manchester City's aggressive high pressing and patient passing, Roma seemed a little helpless.

They often managed to snatch the ball from City's feet, only to be tackled in the process of passing forward before they could organise a full attack.

In this game, Manchester City's on-the-spot counter-attack was very good, once the ball was lost, the players near the spot immediately counter-attacked, and the synergy was very good, the Roma players who were besieged, if they did not pass the ball out at the first time, they would never have a chance to play the ball again.

Among these Roma players on the field, except for Manchester City's veteran Kolarov, who can barely adapt to Manchester City's pressing rhythm, everyone else is a little unbearable.

And the most infuriating thing is that after Manchester City completed the steal, they either immediately launched a counterattack on the spot, or patiently controlled the ball with their feet.

And when Roma wanted to replicate Manchester City's style of play, breaking the ball from their feet by counter-attacking on the spot, they found that this trick was not easy to use at all, and once the ball was at the feet of the Manchester City players, it was difficult to get it back.

Manchester City is like a pixiu, only in and out, there is no way out.

The Roma couldn't figure out why, but the Liverpool fans next door to Manchester City did.

The reason is actually quite simple, before Manchester City met Roma, they played two games against Liverpool, who are very good at pressing high positions.

Under the 'teaching' of Liverpool, a senior sparring partner, the Manchester City players' ability to protect the ball has been qualitatively improved.

At least now, when they encounter opponents with multiple packs and presses, they are less prone to panic and make mistakes.

As long as the players are not panicked at the first time, can calmly make judgments and decisions, and pass the ball out, the probability of mistakes will naturally be greatly reduced.

The fifteen minutes of the intermission passed quickly.

I don't know what the Roma coach said to the players in the dressing room, but at the beginning of the second half, Roma made personnel changes.

They replaced the diminutive centre-back Tsengiz with a 191-year-tall high school striker Schulka.

The substitution was a bit inexplicable for City.

Did the Romans think that their problems could be solved by changing strikers?

Replacing such a high striker, do you want to rely on headers to crush Manchester City?

It's too much to think about, but City's backline isn't afraid of high-altitude bombardment.

Besides, you can't even get the ball, how many opportunities do you have for high-altitude bombing?

In practice, this is a failed substitution.

In the 56th minute, Manchester City scored again.

This time, it was Lin Quan who assisted Mbappe.

The score has become 4:0, and the suspense has been lost.

While the audience at the scene and in front of the TV set felt sorry for Roma, they were also very curious, how many goals could Manchester City score in the remaining time?

Looking at them, it seems that Manchester City are not planning to withdraw their troops, and they want to continue scoring goals.

Barcelona were eliminated in a 4-1 home win over Roma, proving that even a 4-0 score was not enough.

In the 62nd minute, Kevin De Bruyne also scored.

He was on the edge of the box, and after seeing that there was not much chance in the box, he tried to kick a long-range shot.

Maybe De Bruyne himself didn't expect it, just a blindfolded kick, actually kicked out of the world wave, the quality is very high, Alisson tried his best and only barely touched the ball with his fingers, but he couldn't change the flight trajectory of the football at all.

Roma's goal is pierced for the fifth time!

5:0！

This is definitely a tragedy!

Although the opponent's strength is not as good as Manchester City, it is also a strong team in Serie A.

Before the game, many people guessed that Roma would lose, but they didn't expect Roma to lose so badly.

And it's only been 62 minutes, with the efficiency of Manchester City scoring a goal in these ten minutes, if they continue to attack, I'm afraid the door of the Roma team will suffer.

Afraid of anything, in the 69th minute, Manchester City got a corner kick opportunity.

Lin Quan drove a corner to the back post and Van Dijk grabbed the first spot, but his close-range shot was saved by Alisson.

It's a pity that Roma was unlucky, and the saved ball fell to the feet of De Bruyne outside the penalty area, who saw that the box was full of people and there was no defender around him, so he flicked the ball and shot directly from a distance.

Alisson's reaction was quick, he just got up from the ground, and before he could stand firmly, he jumped up and made a save.

It's a pity that De Bruyne's shot is from a more tricky angle than the last long-range shot, and Alisson has tried his best, but it was only in vain after all.

The football flew into the Roma goal for the sixth time, and the score had become 6:0!

With a net minus of six goals, this has equalled the record for the biggest defeat in Roma's history.

Desperately, however, the game is not over yet and City still have plenty of time to improve on that record.

On the sidelines, Totti, the wolf king who hung up his boots last summer, looked anxious and depressed when he saw the team being beaten on the field, and he couldn't wait to take off his suit and go to the court.

But even if he plays, I'm afraid nothing will change.

Similar tragedies, Roma has not been unheard of in the Champions League.

It is in this city that eleven years ago, Roma suffered a 7-1 defeat to the Red Devils at Old Trafford.

Even on their home turf, Roma suffered a 7-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the 2014-2015 Champions League group stage.

On the pitch, it was clear that Roma's morale was on the verge of collapse.

Despite the manager's frequent shouting on the sidelines and even making another substitution, he tried to boost morale.

But the effect can't be said to be nothing, and it can only be said that it's better than nothing.

On the contrary, on Manchester City's side, Guardiola saw that the players were playing like crazy, and poured 6 goals into the opponent, and he had already begun to think about whether to make substitutions in advance, replace the main players on the field, and let them rest well.

In fact, four goals have already met Guardiola's requirements.

Now not only did he meet his requirements, but even exceeded them, which made Guardiola determined: substitution!

He sent Sane, Haaland, Foden, Gabriel Jesus, Gundogan and others to warm up.

He doesn't plan to make any changes at the back, with several players up front playing a lot of games lately and could be replaced to give them more rest.

In the stands, Manchester City fans saw that the substitutes were warming up, and they were worried that after the main players were replaced, the team would not be able to continue scoring, so they eagerly shouted at the field:

"One more!"

"Let's have a 7-UP package!"

"Help the Romans break a record!"

You're weird!

Hearing the shouts of the Manchester City fans, the hearts of the Roma fans were nervous.

But don't score again, if they really break the 100-year history of the Roma team, then they will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Hearing the shouts of the fans, Lin Quan looked at De Bruyne and others and smiled.

In the 72nd minute, before being replaced, Lin Quan tried to make a breakthrough.

The breakthrough was successful, but unfortunately the shot was deflected.

There is no way to do it, and the record-breaking thing can only be left to the substitutes to complete.

"Don't worry, boss, we promise to let them set a new record and go home happy!"

Haaland patted his chest and said confidently.

Lin Quan was amused by his words, this kid is so bad!

You helped others break the record of the biggest loss, if it is really broken, the Romans can hate you for the rest of their lives, how can they go home happy?

The substitutes don't care about that, we're finally getting on the pitch, and if we don't get one or two goals, won't it be for nothing?

If they can't score goals for a long time, how can they compete for the main position?

These substitutes are so eager to improve, so when they come on the pitch, they work harder than the main players.

The Romans are crying, where did this pack of wolf cubs come from?

Although they are not very old, they bite people really hard!

Pep Guardiola thought that by replacing these main players, the team's offensive strength would drop significantly.

But the frantic performance of these substitutes on the field completely overturned his judgment.

In the 82nd minute, Haaland made the ball on the line of the penalty area, and the follow-up Jesus volleyed to rewrite the score to 7:0!

In the 89th minute, Sane used his speed on the wing to eat the opponent's wing-back, and after a successful breakthrough, he cut inside into the penalty area.

Although his shot was saved by Alisson, Haaland, who was waiting in front of goal, shrewdly stretched out his foot and slotted the ball into the back of the net.

The score became 8:0!

City's group of substitutes really delivered on their promise and helped Roma break their all-time record.

And it also improved that record by two goals!

The score of the match quickly spread throughout Europe and the world through the internet and social media.

The whole football world was shocked by this exaggerated scoreline!

And the defending champion Real Madrid, after learning about this score, was even more frightened.

The thought of such a terrible adversary seeking revenge on them makes them sleep! (End of chapter)
