Chapter 277 Unexpected
Eight minutes passed, that is, at the 40th minute.
Monaco launched an attack again, and Lemar took the ball and accelerated forward.
But was knocked down by Yaya Toure of Manchester City, the referee whistled immediately.
And signaled Yaya Toure foul, and gave him a yellow card.
"Yaya Toure received a yellow card. In fact, his foul action was not serious." Liu Jiayuan explained.
Just as he was about to continue explaining, he suddenly stopped.
Because he found a change on the field, Monaco suddenly took a set kick with a big foot.
The football flew directly to Manchester City's penalty area. This long pass was too sudden.
Even the players of Manchester City did not expect that their attention was not concentrated.
At this moment, a figure was running towards the restricted area at full speed.
Only then did Manchester City react, but Mbappe's speed was too fast.
Unable to catch him at all, goalkeeper Caballero had no choice but to choose to attack.
I saw Mbappe pushing the goal, although Caballero tried hard to save it.
But still powerless, the football rolled into the goal again.
The young Mbappé celebrated the goal excitedly, and happily came to a slide.
"This ball is served very fast! Goalkeeper!" Liu Jiayuan explained.
"The goal is scored again! It is the young Mbappe who scored the goal!"
"This is Monaco's second goal in the first half. After the set kick was sent directly, it hit Manchester City behind." Gong Lei continued to explain.
"It's not the first time today, it's been a few times behind the ball."
"But Manchester City has nothing to do. Manchester City really needs to review it."
"Now that the score is 1-2, Monaco actually leads Manchester City in the away game. I believe this is something that everyone did not expect before the game." Liu Jiayuan commented.
At this time, the Monaco fans who came to the away game shouted excitedly and celebrated for their team.
Today's game really exceeded their expectations, leading Manchester City at Manchester City's home court.
At this time, Cai Jian finally remembered.
Although Cai Jian has experienced it once, how could he remember all the games.
But now he finally remembered that after the two rounds, Manchester City seemed to be eliminated by Monaco.
Finally, some of his own players have reached the Champions League knockout round. Of course, he still hopes that Manchester City, where Lu Yunlong is located, will win.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Yunlong is not the only player who has reached the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Ruiz, who played for Sevilla, also reached the Champions League knockout round, and coincidentally, his opponent was Leicester City.
Then there is Zhou Yuan, who plays for Dortmund, and their opponent is Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.
In this knockout round, there was another pair of opponents that Cai Jian paid great attention to.
This pair of opponents is Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, because this season, Barcelona turned Paris Saint-Germain against the sky.
The game restarted, but it was not long before the end of the first half.
Unconsciously, the first half of the game was over, and the players of both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.
The faces of Manchester City players are generally ugly, and they played like this at their home court.
You must know that the opponent is not a giant, but a Ligue 1 team, and it is not Paris Saint-Germain.
They can even expect that the fans will blame themselves after the game.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in Monaco is very good, not only because the away game leads Manchester City, but also because the team now holds two away goals.
They know that in the knockout stages of the Champions League, away goals are important.
Several of these young players have begun to fantasize about him. After this season, there will definitely be strong teams paying attention to him.
After returning to the locker room, Guardiola carefully arranged tactics.
Especially for making changes on the defensive end, the Monaco team is too impactful.
Therefore, the team's defense has to retreat, and the opponent can no longer be played behind.
Soon the second half of the game began, and the players on both sides changed sides to fight again.
Guardiola thought that after the adjustment of the midfield tactics, the team's performance would improve.
He can equalize the score as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to lose the first leg at his home court.
That would make it more difficult in the second round, which is his first season in charge of Manchester City.
Not long after the start of the second half, Manchester City fell in their own half.
At this time Stones chose a long pass to Sterling on the left.
Sterling did receive the pass, and he hung the ball directly into the penalty area.
But being pushed out by Glick of Monaco, Monaco turned from defense to offense.
Bakayoko looked forward after receiving the pass.
In fact, he wanted to find Mbappe, because he knew that this young man was really fast.
Even if it is not Mbappe, Lemar is also possible.
But he saw that these two players have average positions, but Falcao's position is very good.
Bakayoko didn't think too much, he was just a big foot.
The football flew towards City's half and Falcao saw a pass from a teammate.
He was galloping at full speed, and Stones was in front of him to the left.
Soon he successfully received the pass, and he continued to push forward with the ball.
He took only two steps and came to the 45-degree position on the left side of Manchester City's penalty area.
Stones defended him with all his strength, and suddenly Falcao cut in with the ball, trying to force his way into the penalty area.
His physical fitness is very good, and he even carried Stones away.
Stones knew that if he didn't act, Falcao would go straight to the goal.
Moreover, goalkeeper Caballero did not attack rashly at this time, and attacking at this time is not a good choice.
But at this moment, Stones shoveled towards Falcao's feet.
He hoped to shovel the football out, and he did shovel the football.
But Falcao just stepped on his right foot, and the football happened to hit his right foot.
So he didn't shovel the football away, the football is still at Falcao's feet.
This time Caballero couldn't ignore things anymore, he had to choose to attack.
At this time, he couldn't figure out what happened to his teammates today, and why the defense suddenly collapsed.
And at this moment, Falcao even challenged football.
The football flew towards the goal through a parabola, which was a bit like a spoon penalty.
Caballero jumped up with all his strength, hoping to touch the football in the air.
But as soon as he jumped up, he knew the ball was gone.
Monaco opened the score 3-1!
Everyone on the scene at this time, whether they are Manchester City fans or Monaco fans.
I didn't expect this to be the case, and Monaco actually played against Manchester City.
And it is still leading 3-1 at Manchester City's home court. Is Manchester City going to be ashamed at their home court today?
