David Silva stood in the corner area, raised his right hand and passed the ball into the box.

Fighting for the top is not City's forte, and they have no intention of stealing points directly in front of goal.

Stones, in the penalty area, broke away from the defence under the cover of his teammates, leaped high and swung the ball to the back post.

The unguarded Raheem Sterling chested the ball in front of him and bounced it towards goal with his right foot like a spring.

Neuer made another save in the direction of the incoming ball, straightened his arm and blocked it with one palm.

The danger in front of the goal made Boateng break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't have time to observe the situation around him, and kicked the ball off the sideline.

Even the corners have been carefully planned, and it seems that Manchester City are bound to win this time.

In the Etihad Stadium, the cheers of the fans also became more enthusiastic as the team attacked, completely drowning out the voices of the visiting fans.

After a series of threats at the start, the Bundesliga giants began to get into the game, with players doing their part, carefully defending the opponent's touchline balls.

With Bayern pressing down the flanks quickly, City handed over the ball.

Heynckes restarted the 4-2-3-1 formation, using the short passing ability of the two wing-backs to ensure consistency at the back.

It was also in the first leg that Heynckes humbly learned after seeing Pep Guardiola arrange it like this.

It's just that Pep Guardiola only needs three central defenders to complete consecutive passes, while Bayern need four.

But this did not affect the operation of Heynckes's tactics.

Because in the midfield position, he has installed Thiago, who is good at playmaking, dribbling and passing.

With him as the midfield commander, Bayern's attack was well organized.

Although it was difficult for the team to push the attack forward, the overall score was 3-2, allowing them to play patiently on the defensive counter-attack.

It is the opponent Manchester City who should be in a hurry.

At this time, the scene was given to Zinchenko, who was suspended.

In the first leg, if he hadn't pulled Rossi, who had formed a single knife, to the ground, Bayern would have held a two-goal lead, and the situation would have been more passive.

Off the field, Guardiola kept gesturing with his hands to convey instructions.

Everyone on the scene, except for the Manchester City players, could not understand his complex command gestures.

In the 8th minute, Bayern finally took the ball out of the backfield through the transmission from the wing.

Coman accelerated his sprint down the flanks and slashed inside with his heel as he approached just outside the box.

Kyle Walker wasn't shaken off by his change of direction and suddenly took a step forward with his right foot and poked the ball out.

Defender Gundogan took the opportunity to control the ball, and after raising his eyes to observe the defense, he found that the opponent's formation was pressed a little high, and he directly sent the ball over the top in the backfield.

The decisive ball when switching from defense to attack is also the focus of Guardiola's emphasis.

Especially after suffering a loss in the first leg, Manchester City deliberately strengthened the tactical practice of long passes from the back.

When Davies was returning to the defense, he observed that Sterling behind him, on the premise of not being able to ensure full control of the landing point, deliberately pressed towards him, intending to play against him and interfere with his receiving of the ball.

Without the advantage of physical confrontation, Sterling first pushed his body up, and then suddenly "pulled the stool" backwards, causing Davis to pounce in the air and fall to the ground.

[The Bayern defender made a mistake and fell! ] 】

[Raheem Sterling enters the penalty area!] 】

[Face Neuer!] 】

【Shot!!! 】

【GAOL！！！！！！ 】

In the Etihad Stadium, an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted, drowning out the voices of the on-site commentators.

Manchester City scored, 1:0!!

The aggregate score of both teams is 3:3!!

There is an away goal advantage!!

How can this not make people's blood boil!

It was another mistake by Alphonso Davies that gave Bayern a blow to the start.

Next, they have to step up their attack.

When Neuer got up, he patted his little brother Alphonso Davies, pointed to his eyes, and told him that it was important to mark people.

Playing in the Champions League for the first time, it is still such an important game, and it is inevitable that I am a little nervous.

Manchester City are no ordinary team, they are very good at taking advantage of the opposition's subtle holes and mistakes to launch a thunderous blow.

Under the repeated encouragement of the big brother, Davis nodded frequently, and his eyes gradually became determined.

Kimmich's suspension has left Bayern with few options at right wing-back.

The veteran Raphinha defended more than enough, and the attack was insufficient, and it was difficult to withstand the back and forth impact of Manchester City's forward line.

Alphonso Davies is young and has potential, but loses due to a lack of experience on the big stage.

Three minutes later, City's attack found its chance again from the left.

B-Silva's through ball broke through the Bayern defence from the ribs and into the feet of Raheem Sterling.

The Happy Golden Boy quickly cuts into the box and prepares a cross.

At this point, Neuer made a decisive attack to block the opponent's shot angle.

At the same time, he pointed behind him and motioned for Davis to make up his defense.

Neuer is worthy of being a world leader, and at a critical juncture, he quickly made the right measures.

Raheem Sterling crossed the ball across without a shot angle.

Davis Alphonso, who was in good shape, fell to the ground and slid the ball off the line.

Ooh!

Fans shouted in amazement at the failure of the attack.

"Prevent it well, that's it!"

Neuer got up and encouraged his teammates, and the two high-fived in celebration.

After the meritorious service, encouraged by the captain, the pressure on Davis Alfonso's heart suddenly eased, he straightened his chest, hammered his fist into his chest, and let out a roar.

This roar released all his pressure and tension.

Manchester City took a tactical corner, and after passing back and forth on the wing, B-Silva picked up the box.

It's a pity that the landing point is a little deep, and Neuer strikes to hold the ball steady.

Under Manchester City's continuous high-pressure attacks, Bayern need time to adjust.

The general practice of the team is that the goalkeeper will lie down on the grass after the attack and save the ball, taking the opportunity to delay the service time.

But Bayern is no ordinary team.

Their reigning Champions League champions, six-time champions.

Neuer served quickly and handed it to Davies on the wing.

Raheem Sterling quickly approached from behind and interfered with his delivery.

Davis faked a facsimile dunk, first shook off Sterling and then crossed diagonally into the middle.

After conceding the goal, Guardiola asked the players to counter-attack on the spot and replace the defense with attack.

Thiago, who is very familiar with the tactics of his mentor Pep Guardiola, was watching the defense before receiving the ball.

After seeing Rossi on the left wing, he sent a long pass over the top straight forward without stopping the ball.

A beautiful over-the-top kick broke City's counter-attack and pressing.

Thiago was happy with his pass.

It's also strange to say that this kind of high-quality pass can only be made when he is looking for Rossi.

The overly excited Manchester City players not only pressed the formation a little higher, but they also did not expect that Thiago would be at the back, passing this ball with excellent vision and imagination.

Rossi accelerated to the left and pulled out a gap in the middle for Muller.

At the same time, Koeman also moved from the left to the middle.

After Rossi unloaded the ball, he turned his back to Kyle Walker and took a big step with his right foot towards the baseline, leaning his body to the right.

Turn around and break through under the bottom?

Kyle Walker anticipated Rossi's next move and moved his body sideways toward the baseline.

But Rossi's body suddenly moved sideways in the opposite direction, and the outside of his left foot also took the ball away and shook off the defense.

What?

Walker's face turned pale, he never dreamed that he would be deceived by such a simple change of direction by his opponent.

Although shaking off the defense, Rossi also stayed away from the goal.

At this point, he saw Coman reach for the ball, and while turning, he knocked the ball across the middle of the penalty area.

Coman was just outside the penalty area, stopping and rubbing, and passed the ball delicately into the box.

Muller, who stepped forward, slipped on the soles of his feet under the tug of Stones.

But before falling to the ground, he kicked the ball out with his right foot.

Goalkeeper Moraes, who came out, was also taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Muller was able to finish the shot when he fell to the ground, and when he crouched down and spread his legs and tried to intercept, the ball drilled under his crotch and slowly rolled into the goal.

There was silence at the Etihad Stadium.

Bayern actually scored!

It's still the same Muller who played in the midfield.

Maybe it's because Rosie is so dazzling that everyone forgets.

Thomas Muller, also a goalkeeper opportunist.

As Heynckes said in his press conference, Rossi is the absolute top centre-forward, but he needs to help the team win.

And at this time, it was Thomas Muller who held the victory.

Manchester City made a mistake by caring too much about Rossi's attacking prowess.
