Facing Manchester City's goal, the players of Paris Saint-Germain seemed a little frustrated and tired.

Thiago Silva and Marquinhos encouraged each other, but they clearly showed fatigue on their faces.

Maxwell put his hands on his hips and panted heavily, obviously unable to do anything about Li Lei's breakthrough and shooting.

Striker Ibrahimovic stood near the center circle, his hands on his hips, looking at the goal, his face full of unwillingness.

Everyone knew that the team needed to respond quickly, but he also knew that it was not easy to score under Manchester City's tight defense.

Midfielders Thiago Motta and Blaise Matuidi also looked a little tired. They looked at each other and continued to encourage their teammates to keep fighting.

Motta said to Rabio beside him: "We can't give up, keep attacking and try to equalize the score."

As the game progressed, the physical problems of Paris Saint-Germain players gradually emerged.

Veterans such as Thiago Silva and Maxwell obviously seemed a little overwhelmed. When facing Manchester City's rapid attack, their defensive movements became slow and their reactions were not as fast as at the beginning.

In the 70th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain tried to equalize the score through a counterattack.

Di Maria dribbled the ball on the right, and his speed was still very fast, but he seemed a little overwhelmed when facing Clichy's defense.

Clichy successfully broke the ball out of the sideline and resolved the attack.

In the 75th minute, Paris Saint-Germain organized an attack again.

After Rabiot received the ball in the midfield, he quickly passed the ball to Cavani who was advancing.

Cavani dribbled forward, but when facing Otamendi and Mangala's double defense, he failed to find a chance to shoot, and was finally successfully intercepted by Mangala.

Manchester City performed very solidly on the defensive end. The central defender combination of Otamendi and Mangala repeatedly resolved Paris Saint-Germain's attack.

Fernandinho and Fernando's interception in the midfield was also very critical. They constantly put pressure on Paris Saint-Germain's defense through quick counterattacks.

In the 80th minute of the game, Manchester City created a threat again through a quick counterattack.

Aguero dribbled the ball and passed it to Li Lei who was on the right.

Li Lei dribbled into the penalty area and faced Maxwell's defense again.

The game had been going on for 80 minutes, and Manchester City temporarily led Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 with Li Lei's goal.

Roy Keane, the host, and Phil Jones, the guest, were discussing the progress of the game in the Sky Sports live studio.

Roy Keane sat in the host seat and said seriously: "So far, Manchester City's performance can be said to be very good."

"Guardiola's tactical arrangement is very effective, especially in taking advantage of the weakness of Paris Saint-Germain's defense."

"Li Lei's goal is very crucial. It not only shows his personal ability, but also reflects the threat of Manchester City's overall offense."

He continued: "Paris Saint-Germain is now under great pressure, especially their veterans, whose physical fitness has obviously declined."

"Tiago Silva and Maxwell's performance in defense is not as good as in the first half. If Manchester City continues to maintain this offensive momentum, they will have a chance to score another goal. "

Phil Jones nodded in agreement, and added: "I agree with Keane's point of view."

"Manchester City's control in the midfield was very strong today. The organizational ability of De Bruyne and Silva made Paris Saint-Germain's midfield seem a little passive."

"Fernandinho and Fernando also did a very good job on the defensive end, successfully intercepting Paris's attack many times."

Jones continued: "Although Paris Saint-Germain's attack was threatening, Manchester City's defense was very solid."

"Otamendi and Mangala's central defender combination"Mangala, in particular, his physical confrontation and speed made it difficult for Paris' forwards to find a breakthrough." Keane continued: "Guardiola's tactics are obviously to consume Paris Saint-Germain's physical energy through high-pressure pressing and quick counterattacks." "At the same time, use the speed of Li Lei and Aguero to make a fatal blow." "Li Lei played very well today. His breakthroughs on the right wing tore through the opponent's defense again and again." Jones nodded and added: "Indeed, Manchester City's tactics are very clear, that is, to use fast ball transmission and wing breakthroughs to disrupt Paris's defensive formation." "In the second half, they have created several good opportunities through this tactic. If it weren't for Trapp's several heroic saves, the score might have exceeded 1-0." Keane concluded, "With less than 10 minutes left in the game, Manchester City needs to stay focused and can't relax at all." "Paris Saint-Germain will definitely attack with all their strength at the last moment, and Manchester City's defense needs to withstand the pressure. ”

Jones continued: "Indeed, this game is crucial for both teams."

"Manchester City currently has the upper hand, but Paris Saint-Germain is not without opportunities."

"The key lies in whether Manchester City can maintain a solid defense in the final stage and seize the opportunity to score another goal to completely lock in the victory."

The game has entered the final critical moment, Manchester City still leads Paris Saint-Germain 1-0, and has the advantage with Li Lei's key goal in the 66th minute.

Matuidi successfully grabbed several After the break, he quickly passed the ball to Angel Di Maria on the wing.

Rabiot made precise passes to find Ibrahimovic and Cavani in the frontcourt.

Angel Di Maria's breakthrough on the wing caused a lot of trouble for Manchester City's defense.

In the 82nd minute, after receiving a pass from Rabiot on the right, Di Maria quickly broke through Clichy's defense and dribbled into the penalty area.

He sent a precise cross, and the ball flew directly over Ibrahimovic's head.

"Di Maria's breakthrough was very sharp, and this cross was very threatening! ”

Ibrahimovic jumped high and headed the ball over Otamendi, but Joe Hart reacted quickly and flew to save the ball.

Cavani quickly followed up and prepared to make a supplementary shot, but Mangala returned to defense in time and blocked Cavani's shot with his body.
