Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

At the end of the first half, Manchester City led 2-1.

If Real Madrid wants to come back, they have to score at least two goals.

Luxemburg was also a little scratching his head. It didn't seem particularly difficult to score a goal, but the difficulty was how to defend the opponent.

After he came to the team in January, he mentioned this to Florentino.

So the old man got himself a Gravesen.

How to say it, Gravesen is okay, but not worthy of Real Madrid's frontcourt players.

Moreover, the height of Real Madrid's back line is still relatively short, which makes their high-altitude ball defense a big problem.

But now Florentino's team building ideas are obviously top-heavy, and his suggestions have not been adopted.

He sighed in his heart. If he was eliminated in this game, his life would be difficult.

So, he could only let the players continue to attack with all their strength. As for defense...

Let's leave it to fate.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid continued to attack Manchester City's goal, while Manchester City slightly shrank its formation and comfortably counterattacked.

In the 63rd minute, Makelele intercepted the ball in the midfield. He still did not choose to pass the ball at the first time, but rushed forward with the ball.

Beckham hurried forward to block, but Makelele took the opportunity to pass the ball to Ronaldinho's feet.

Ronaldinho did not stop the ball, but directly passed it to Robben's feet.

Carlos pressed the attack and had not returned yet. At this time, there was no defensive player in front of Robben!

So he began to accelerate with all his strength and rushed towards the penalty area of ​​​​Real Madrid!

Samuel knew that he was powerful in cutting inside and shot, so he hurried forward to prepare for blocking.

But this time Robben chose to go to the bottom directly!

After he went down the bottom, he passed the ball to the middle with his right foot, which he was not good at!

At this time, only Tony and Elguera were left in the penalty area. The height difference between the two was nearly ten centimeters. Tony naturally had an absolute advantage in the header!

He jumped high, overpowered Elguera, and headed for the goal!

Although Casillas reacted quickly, he had no way to deal with such a close-range shot!

3 to 1, Manchester City expanded its lead!

This goal can be said to have completely killed the suspense of the game!

Luxemburg's face fell and he returned to the bench silently.

On the other side, Yang Luo hugged and celebrated with the members of the coaching staff. They all knew that the quarterfinals were already waving to them!

The fans at the scene were also very excited. They were extremely proud to be able to see such a wonderful performance of their team on the spot!

After the game resumed, although Real Madrid still refused to give up and kept attacking Manchester City's goal, they actually had little fighting spirit.

Especially since Zidane and Figo are both 32 or 33 years old, their physical condition is not as good as before, so their offensive threat is gradually declining.

Luxemburgo sent Owen to the field, but he could not change the whole situation.

Although Owen scored a goal in front of the goal at the last moment of the game, it was useless.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 6-4 in two rounds!

After the whistle of the end of the game, Zidane exchanged jerseys with Sun Jihai as soon as possible.

The two people have a little friendship because of the encounter.

It is estimated that Sun Jihai can also brag about this to his children and grandchildren: "I once exchanged one with a superstar of the king level!"

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho also hugged each other, and their relationship is also very good.

Overall, the two rounds of games were relatively harmonious, and there were no controversial penalties.

At the press conference after the game, the two head coaches also wished each other well.

After this game, the results of other games were released one after another.

Among them, Arsenal was eliminated by their eternal nemesis Bayern Munich, and it has been difficult for them to go further in the Champions League.

And Manchester United was eliminated by AC Milan with a total score of 2-0.

The Rossoneri are very strong this season. Although they don't have Stam and Kaka, they still have players of the level of Maldini, Nesta, Seedorf, Pirlo, Gattuso, Shevchenko and Crespo. They are also regarded as the biggest favorites of this Champions League.

Liverpool did not enter the Champions League this year. Will they really win the championship?

Yang Luo shook his head and only prayed that Manchester City would not be drawn in the quarterfinals.

They.

The other focus battle was between Chelsea and Barcelona.

Since this game was played a day later, Yang Luo watched the live broadcast of this game at home.

Without Ronaldinho, Barcelona faced Chelsea, which was in its heyday. They were no match at all and lost with a total score of 3 to 5.

But Barcelona was able to score three goals against Chelsea in two rounds, which was indeed very good.

You know, Manchester City only scored two goals against Chelsea in two games.

Among them, Manchester City's old player Eto'o performed well and scored goals in both rounds.

How to say it, although Yang Luo and Eto'o did not have a pleasant quarrel in the end, Yang Luo did not hate him very much in general.

After all, he has made money and contributed to the club. Things have passed, and he will not keep arguing with the boy.

It's just that Manchester City will not hold back in the future.

In addition to these games, teams like Juventus, Inter Milan, Eindhoven and Lyon have also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

Since there will no longer be any principle of avoiding the same country in the quarterfinals, in theory, these teams may be Manchester City's opponents.

The teams here are all well-known, including the most inconspicuous PSV Eindhoven and Lyon, which are not easy to mess with.

Now PSV Eindhoven has Hiddink in charge, and Van Bommel, Park Ji-sung, Alex, and Cocu are all famous players of the generation.

As for Lyon, it is now in the period of seven consecutive championships, and the team also has ruthless people such as Juninho, Malouda, Abidal, and Gove.

And they scored seven goals against Bremen in the last round, and their offensive power is really scary.

So these teams are not easy to mess with.

Of course, Yang Luo still hopes to draw PSV Eindhoven and Lyon in his heart, after all, those are more scary.

But UEFA will not let Manchester City get what they want.

At the draw ceremony, PSV Eindhoven and Lyon were drawn as opponents at the first time.

This made the management of the other teams a little green.

It seems that everyone hopes to draw them.

Manchester City's opponents were also quickly drawn.

Juventus!

When he saw the result, Yang Luo couldn't help but swear.

Today's Juventus is not what they were a few years later. Before the phone scandal broke out, they were the dominant team in Serie A!

Especially with Buffon, Cannavaro, Nedved, Piero, Trezeguet, and Ibrahimovic as the central axis, they looked extremely bluffing.

Yang Luo even wondered if he should go directly to Italy to find evidence and expose the phone scandal a year in advance...
