In a strong dialogue in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final that ended in the early morning of April 27, Beijing time, Real Madrid lost 3-4 away to Manchester City. In this game, Manchester City, who played at home, kicked Real Madrid at the beginning of the first and second half, but it was shocking that Manchester City's attackers missed at least 4 excellent opportunities.
In the 26th minute of the match, City played a counter-attack, Bernardo Silva sent a direct stop, Mahrez led the ball into the right side of the box, and then shot from a small angle, the ball hit the side-netting! By the time Mahrez shot, Foden was already in place to face the empty goal. But Mahrez chose to go it alone, missing the opportunity to score this time.
And wasting this good opportunity made Guardiola on the sidelines very angry, and Guardiola jumped like a thunderbolt and threw a fist at Mahrez. Imagine this shot on goal, Manchester City will lead 3-0, which will also greatly damage the morale of Real Madrid, making the game move completely different.
Three minutes later, City again played a quick counter-attack, De Bruyne received a cross from Mahrez at the front of the penalty area, and then a low flat ball was slanted to the left side of the box, Foden inserted the ball in front of him and shot low from a small angle, the ball slightly off the far upright!
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City took advantage of Real Madrid's unstable foothold to attack again. In the 47th minute, Mahrez burst into the penalty area after a light pass, and a kick bounced off the post, and Foden's shot was released by Carvajal. Seeing that such a good opportunity could not be converted into a goal, Guardiola covered his face and sighed on the sidelines.
In the 75th minute, Mahrez, who frequently "spit out the cake", passed and shot from a small angle was pushed off again! Seeing that love will not be able to shoot repeatedly, Guardiola can only show his helplessness.
After missing these four great opportunities, What should have been a big win turned into an unsafe 4-3. The second leg arrived at the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid, and given Real Madrid's rich experience of reversal in the Champions League, who will advance to the final will be a huge suspense. If City don't qualify, they will regret wasting their chances in the first leg.
