Flowing blonde hair, like a comet dragging its brilliant tail, streaked over the Etihad Stadium.

Ernesto Valverde, Antonio Rudiger and Thibaut Courtois watched helplessly as City's new no.9 celebrated in a gallop.

Match time: 65:35.

Score: 3:0.

The one-sided game caught everyone by surprise.

Ancelotti hurriedly called Rossi to his side on the bench and arranged the tasks after coming on the field.

Before the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, all fans were expecting that it would be a close and high-quality match.

But it took only 65 minutes for Manchester City to completely destroy the entire Real Madrid defence.

In this battle, Real Madrid's formation is not the standard 433.

Defensively, Valverde will drop back and form a midfield duo with Kroos to contain the opposition's crosses in the middle.

Rudiger's position was slightly raised, ensuring that he could limit the opposition's central striker at the first time.

This is Real Madrid's defensive tactics against Haaland, referred to as "jail time".

As the name suggests, it is to trap Haaland in a "prison cell" built by many people, cutting off all contact with the outside world.

In Real Madrid's defensive structure, the right side is heavily defended, and once Haaland reaches the right flank, he is immediately interfered with by Rudiger.

City's attacks on this side could only translate into long-range shots from outside the box.

And when Haaland moved to the left, Modric had limited interference with him, and full-back Camavinga lacked protection in front of him, often falling into a one-on-two disadvantage.

In order to ensure Real Madrid's attack on the left side, Vinicius rarely defends deeply, which further aggravates Camavinga's defensive pressure.

To relieve the pressure, Luka Modric and Kroos had to move to the left to fill the left rib space.

In the first half, although Real Madrid successfully limited Haaland's attack, the offensive ability of the rest of Manchester City's players was fully explored, and Real Madrid's goal was frequently in danger.

Haaland's containment ability has been great.

This war of attrition, the first to be unable to withstand is Real Madrid midfielders Modric and Kroos.

The "Xuan Ming Er" constantly faces the impact of high school striker Haaland, and it is inevitable that the huge consumption will be huge.

The two sides are caught in a war of attrition, and the turn-based battles in which you slap me and I punch you back are frequently staged, and the fans on both sides are enthusiastic and addicted.

Real Madrid's attack was dominated by Karim Benzema and Vinicius, who were tandem up front and counter-attacked, putting huge pressure on City's defence.

Rodrigo's task is to use his flexible movement to pull the defense and get opportunities.

Manchester City are sending away two full-backs who are not good at fighting, and the three-centre-back system built by Akanji, Dias and Kyle Walker is very stable.

The midfielders Rodri and John Stones were able to return in time to fill in the holes in the defence.

City's defence is no longer what it used to be.

The game came to the 42nd minute, and when the players of both sides were waiting to get ready for the half-time break, it was also the most problematic stage.

Camavinga was surrounded by Manchester City players on the flank, and there was a mistake in the middle of the cross, and Kroos, who received the ball, was unprepared and was cut off by the opponent.

Rodri broke the ball and quickly deflected to Grealish on the left.

Switching from the strong side to the weak side, the Real Madrid midfielder was forced to lean towards the right.

During the shift, Haaland dropped back from the middle, received the ball from Grealish, leaned his back on the defence and then played back to De Bruyne, who was cut in behind.

The Real Madrid defence made a mistake in marking the line in the continuous sideways, and the unguarded De Bruyne opened up the posture and broke the door guarded by his good brother Courtois with a tricky long-range shot.

It was a brilliant link up front for City, with Haaland's fulcrum ability playing an important role.

After the break, Carlo Ancelotti made changes to his formation.

Rodrygo moved to the left, and the Brazilian duo and Karim Benzema echoed each other, taking turns attacking City on the right.

With Camavinga pressing for the assist, Real Madrid focused all their firepower on the left flank, focusing on the soft underbelly of Manchester City's tall three centre-backs.

Ancelotti's thinking in the second half was to start the game.

In the 48th minute, Rodrygo went straight to the ribs, Vinicius went straight along the wing, and passed the ball to the middle near the bottom line.

Ruben Dias grabbed the ball before Benzema flanked it, fell to the ground and shoveled the ball off the line.

Real Madrid's corner kick was cleared, and the second penalty was grabbed by Valverde and passed to Benzema.

Surrounded by opponents, Benzema played back to Kroos, just as Haaland did for De Bruyne in the first half.

However, City's defence remained intact and Kroos' shot was from a very tight angle, making it difficult to hit a quality push that missed the post.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on the Manchester City goal through high pressing + left attack.

In this game, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson was in a brave state, resisting high and defusing Real Madrid's attacks again and again.

In the first fifteen minutes of scrambling, Real Madrid failed to equalize the score.

With the decline in physical fitness and Manchester City's countermeasures, Real Madrid's midfield gradually lost momentum and was forced to switch from attacking to defending.

In the 60th minute, Manchester City cracked Real Madrid's pressing through patient conduction, and looked for gaps in Real Madrid's defense through De Bruyne's retreat organization.

De Bruyne moved to the right with the ball and attracted a number of defenders.

The Belgian midfielder sent a through ball forward before the siege.

On the seemingly unanswered passing line, a tall figure roared past.

Haaland is moving at breakneck speed through the gap between full-backs and centre-backs.

If you think De Bruyne has made a mistake in passing, it's because the ball wasn't passed to you.

De Bruyne tore through the Real Madrid defence with a scalpel-like thrust.

Alaba's and Camavinga's desperate efforts to chase back could not keep up with the Norwegian centre-forward's pace.

In the face of Courtois, Haaland fired a furious shot into the top corner of the near corner.

With a shot of good angle, speed and power, Courtois could only look at the ball and sigh.

Manchester City leads 2-0.

Before the Real Madrid players could lament Haaland's terrifying speed and explosiveness, Manchester City's attack came again.

In the 65th minute, Manchester City captain Gundogan sent a delicate cross from the left flank.

Haaland successfully countered offside, first shook off Valverde's sliding tackle,

and by virtue of his speed, he ate Rudiger raw,

Then facing Courtois, he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal to make the score 3:0.

The whole Etihad Stadium was boiling.

Haaland scored two shots and one pass to completely break down the Real Madrid defense.

The title of the demon is not in vain.

As early as a few seasons ago, Haaland, who was still playing for Red Bull Salzburg, had a warm-up game with Real Madrid.

Haaland, who was just starting out, was replaced after only half the game.

He gave Real Madrid the impression that he was a very fast winger.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this fast striker actually grew into a powerful center forward and became Manchester City's starting center forward.

If it weren't for Real Madrid's target Mbappe, the Norwegian talent would not have been recruited by Pep Guardiola.

And Haaland's first season in the Premier League completely conquered the fans with his perfect performance.

In tonight's game, he single-handedly helped Manchester City lead 3:0.

This time, Real Madrid should have no chance of reversing.

After the goal, Haaland untied his belt in a sprint celebration, and his flowing blonde hair fluttered in the wind.

The demon Haaland, with his physical fitness, crushed the Real Madrid midfield defense.

Taller than you, stronger than you, and faster than you.

How can this be prevented?

This is the question that haunts the hearts of Real Madrid's players.

Ancelotti saw that the team's morale was being shattered by Haaland, and he couldn't help but think, and immediately called Rossi to his side.

At this time, the only thing Ancelotti can think of is Rossi, who has repeatedly saved the team in times of crisis.

You have Haaland, the Devil, and I have Rossi, the King of Reversal.

Real Madrid, who are three goals behind, has no way back.
