In the early morning of April 27, Beijing time, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals began: Manchester City vs Real Madrid. In the first half, De Bruyne and Jesus scored, Benzema Jiangong; in the second half, Foden scored, Vinicius a dragon, B seat Jiangong, Benzema penalty hit. In the end, Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-3.
The two teams met in the Champions League in 19-20, when City won both legs 2-1. This time, the vast majority of fans believe that Manchester City's chances of winning are undoubtedly greater.
The game was only played in the 2nd minute when De Bruyne broke the deadlock on the field.
In the 11th minute, Jesus went down again.
In the 32nd minute, Benzema pulled a goal back.
In the 48th minute, Mahrez hit the post and Foden's shot was cleared off the line.
In the 53rd minute, Foden's header was successful.
In the 55th minute, Vinicius ran to break the goal at half-time.
In the 74th minute, Table B extended the lead again for Manchester City.
In the 82nd minute, Laporte sent a handball and Benzema hit a spoon.
After that, the two teams attacked and defended each other, but both scored again. 4-3, Manchester City beat Real Madrid at home. The second leg of the two sides will be held on 5 May, when they move to the Bernabeu.
At 2-0, everyone felt that the suspense was lost. Unexpectedly, Benzema scored. At 3-1, everyone thought Manchester City had won again. Unexpectedly, Vinicius pulled the suspense of the game back. At 4-2, it was Benzema who scored a penalty. It can be seen how tenacious Real Madrid are. More importantly, facing Manchester City, or away, Real Madrid are not conservative and play against the former. This is the most terrible thing.
There is also a terrible thing: Manchester City's own weaknesses. In the 35th minute of the game, without any injuries, Stones was replaced by Fernandinho. Guardiola, seeing his biggest weakness: right-back. When Fernandinho came on, the merits were offset: assisted Foden to score a third goal, and also allowed Vinicius to score a goal. Arguably, right-back is currently Guardiola's Achilles heel. In terms of Ancelotti's old way, this position in the second leg will inevitably become the direction of Real Madrid's main attack. I don't know if Gua Shuai can come up with a perfect solution.
