What kind of operation is this? It's simply a reversal of the big plot, and even the screenwriter doesn't dare to write it like this!
Let's start with the battle between Manchester City and Tottenham. Manchester City's performance can be described as "perfect", with control of the ball from the very beginning of the game, passing and receiving the ball seamlessly. Tottenham, on the other hand, is obviously a little inadequate. In the face of Manchester City's attack like a tiger descending a mountain, Tottenham's defence is like a card wet by rain, and it is ready to collapse at the touch of a button. City's first goal came in the 20th minute, when the midfielder launched a quick counter-attack, and the through ball was pinpointed through the Tottenham defence, and the striker fired a low shot into the back of the net like an arrow off the string. The second goal came in the second half, from a corner, when the centre-backs leaped high into the box and headed the ball into goal, like a fighter jet diving, leaving the goal-line defence useless.
The result of this game was undoubtedly disastrous for Tottenham. They originally had a glimmer of hope to impact the Champions League, but now they can only cry and wipe their tears, watching the door of the Champions League slowly close. And for Aston Villa, it's a windfall! You must know that the last time Villa played in the Champions League was 41 years ago, and many fans did not wait for this day, and may have forgotten the glory of the year.
So, how did Aston Villa go from background character to protagonist? This was due to their excellent performances and unstoppable attacking performance this season, especially in the closing stages of the season, where Villa showed incredible resilience and fighting power. The coach's tactical set-up is clever, and the players are full of confidence and give their best in every game, and this spirit and attitude is the key to their ability to stand in front of the Champions League goal.

This is a question for everyone, but it is also full of expectations. After all, who dares to say for sure the story on the football field?
