In the early hours of this morning, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final kicked off, and Manchester City and Real Madrid presented a super wonderful goal battle for the majority of fans, and finally Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 4:3 at home. England star Irving, who used to play for Real Madrid, predicted yesterday that Manchester City would beat Real Madrid 3-1 at home, and Irving guessed the first 51 minutes but could not guess the final result.
Two weeks ago, in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Real Madrid played at home against Chelsea, Real Madrid's poor defense was scored by Chelsea for 3 goals in a row, almost eliminated by Chelsea's big reversal, and finally relied on Rodrigo's draw and Benzema's stoppage time kill to reverse and eliminate Chelsea to advance. Irving predicted Manchester City's 3:1 victory, precisely considering the poor performance of Real Madrid's defensive side, but in the end, Owen did not fully guess correctly, because Real Madrid's defense was worse than he thought, and Benzema's frontcourt grasp was also far beyond Irving's imagination.
In the opening 10 minutes, the Real Madrid defense had a series of problems, first by Mahrez after a series of 4 and 5 defenders, and then De Bruyne inserted in the back row and no one defended, De Bruyne's head hammer broke the goal. After that, Alaba even risked the card position to grab the ball mistake, and Wasis Turned by Jesus to hit the goal, and Real Madrid put themselves into a 0:2 disadvantage. Shortly after the start of the second half, Real Madrid was countered by Manchester City against a defensive error, Fernandinho's underdog cross, Foden's head hammer to the goal, Manchester City once again won a two-goal lead. In the 72nd minute, the Real Madrid defense was once again collectively confused, and B took the ball into the box and fired angrily in the 2-man bag, and Manchester City won a two-goal lead for the third time in this game. Of course, in this game, the Real Madrid defense is far more than the potential danger of conceding 4 goals, and Manchester City's chances are even more, but Mahrez, Sterling wasted too many opportunities.
In addition, Benzema's rampage and Real Madrid's toughness are also unexpected by Owen, in the 33rd minute, Benzema swept the ball that did not seem to be a chance very lightly, and Real Madrid narrowed the point gap for the first time in this game. After Foden scored in the second half, Vinicius scored the best goal of the game, also cleverly turned around to get rid of the defense, and then ran long distances into the box to push the shot, and Real Madrid narrowed the point gap for the second time. At the end of the game, Benzema grabbed the point of pressure to cause Laporte handball, Real Madrid won the point, Benzema's big heart spoon point shot twice, Real Madrid narrowed the score for the third time, and the game was fixed at 3:4.
Irving, who did not fully guess the result after the game, said: "Real Madrid have done a good job, they are only one goal behind on the road. There is no doubt that Manchester City are the best team, but Real Madrid's experience and resilience in the face of desperate situations are incredible. "So back at the Bernabeu next week, can Real Madrid's experience and resilience allow Real Madrid to reverse the promotion again? After The Benzer Marseille, he said on his personal social platform, "The race has just begun!" We are Real Madrid! "It is true that Real Madrid wants to turn over again, I am afraid that it will also have to look at Benzema, but big data also has the odds of winning the championship, Real Madrid is really difficult, big data predicts that Real Madrid only has a 20% chance of turning over and an 8% chance of winning the championship, and the odds of winning the championship Real Madrid are far behind Manchester City at the top of the list of 1 to 13. So do you think Real Madrid can still turn the tables this time?
