At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona conceded a goal, which was a really heavy blow to Barcelona.

Barcelona players were all stunned by this goal.

The TV broadcast cuts many close-ups of Barcelona players, and most of the Barcelona players in the camera are confused.

Faced with such a quick loss of the ball, they didn't react and could not accept it in a short period of time.

The Manchester City players quickly ended their celebrations and they returned to the court.

They don't spend much time on celebrations because they don't need to spend more game time on celebrations.

The second half has just begun. If they seize the time, maybe they can score more goals?

Manchester City players think so.

The defeat of Barcelona many times in a row gave them endless confidence.

This kind of mentality is difficult for other teams. When they face Barcelona, ​​they may not have any fighting spirit before the game even begins. They will think that Barcelona is too strong and we cannot defeat them. They will be afraid of any attack made by Barcelona in the game.

For example, Leverkusen met Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals. In the first leg, Leverkusen lost to Barcelona 1:3 at home, and there was basically no hope of advancing to the quarterfinals. But unlike the disappointed and sad Leverkusen fans, Leverkusen's two main defenders, Caderetz and Fredrich, did not care much about the result of the game. Instead, they had an internal strife over a Messi jersey.

During the halftime break, Kadletz couldn't wait to find Messi and exchange jerseys. But when he returned to the locker room with Messi's jersey, he was stopped by his teammate Fredrich. Because Fredrich was also preparing to exchange jerseys for Messi, he was taken first by Kadletz. In the player channel, Fredrich and Kadletz quarreled over this Messi's jersey, and in the end, Fredrich, who was older, successfully took away Messi's jersey.

Kadletz was unwilling to give up Messi's jersey and lost again, so he found Messi again at the end of the game and made a request to exchange jerseys. This time no one snatched him.

After the game, Cardletz also commented on this matter on his personal social network. He admitted Frederick's conflict with himself, and said that he would put the Messi jersey in his honor room.

After losing, I don’t think about regrets and pain, nor even how to perform well in the second round and accomplish miracles. I care more about how to get the enemy’s jersey.

This detail shows what the opponents are thinking when facing Barcelona.

Of course, Leverkusen, who has these two absent-minded defenders, lost to Barcelona at home in the second leg with a score of 1:7. Messi scored five goals alone, which can be considered as having enough goals scored by a brainless fan...

That game was naturally Messi's highlight moment and a beautiful memory for Barcelona fans, but for Leverkusen, who was a foil, it was not a thing to be proud of. The fans were very angry, and the team manager was also very angry. Maybe the only thing that the players who only care about how to get the jersey didn't care about the failure.

Because in their opinion, Leverkusen's strength is much worse than Barcelona, ​​and it is normal to lose this game.

Since it is a game that is destined to lose, what else can I be upset about?

Can anger and anger allow us to win the game?

No, then why not change the way to make yourself more relaxed?

Isn’t losing a part of professional football?

Therefore, Leverkusen will never win the Champions League title...

The game continued, and Barcelona players were affected by the loss of the ball, performed poorly, and the number of proactive mistakes increased.

Manchester City players, with the cheering of fans, made the defensive counterattacks soar. They seized the opportunity of Barcelona's active mistakes and launched counterattacks again and again.

If Valdes hadn't performed well, they might have conceded the ball again.

When Valdes snatched Ibrahimovic's shot out again, he jumped from the ground, shouted at his teammates, and slapped hard.

He was very dissatisfied with his teammates' performance.

He seemed to want to use this method to wake up all his teammates.

But it's really hard.

Messi has been silent, and the performance of other teammates is not satisfactory.

And what's worse is...

In the 63rd minute, Manchester City once again took advantage of a Barcelona pass error in the frontcourt to intercept the ball and fight back.

Gareth Barry passed the football to Sneijder, who turned around and sent a long pass on the ground. The football passed through Buzquez's toes and landed at Kaka's feet.

Kaka did not dribble the ball, but instead sent the football horizontally to the front of the penalty area after receiving the ball.

Ibrahimovic, who was followed by Puyor, ran to the football and made a shot, as if he was going to shoot directly.

But just as Valdes had made a save, his feet suddenly stopped in front of the football, and he let the football roll over in front of him!

Everyone followed the football and found that Rongguang had cut from the side to the middle. He swung his right leg towards the football.

This time it was not a fake shot, his right foot was slashed firmly with the soccer ball!

Although Pique is in front of glory, it is useless.

Because the football drew a very obvious arc in the air, it bypassed his defense far and flew straight to the back corner of the goal.

It was too late for Valdes to make another save, and his adjustment of the center of gravity was not enough to see the football's flight speed.

Rongguang's signature cut-in inward shot with his right foot and his outside instep!

The football flew into the goal without any suspense...

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!" John Motson shouted in excitement.

"3:0!3:0!3:0!! Manchester City is leading Barcelona with three goals! Can we say that this game is over?"

Alan Hansen said excitedly from the side: "It's not just this game! The entire semi-finals ended early! I don't believe that Barcelona can still equalize the score when they are three goals behind when they return to home!"

"This is Rong Guang's thirteenth Champions League goal! He is still one short of Messi's 14 goals now! But judging from the current state of the two, it may be difficult for Messi to defend his first place in the scorer list! Rong Guang's condition is just right!" He Ping no longer cares whether Manchester City can enter the Champions League final. In his opinion, this is a foregone conclusion and there is no suspense.

What he is concerned about now is whether Glory can maintain his record as long as he participates in the Champions League, he will definitely be the top scorer in the Champions League.

He is not a Manchester City fan and he is a glorious fan.

※※※

The cheers from Manchester City fans in the stands almost suppressed everything.

The commentators on the scene had to shout at the top of their lungs so that they could ensure that their voices were not suppressed.

But even so, their voices seemed a little unreal in the noisy background tone and could not be heard clearly.

Manchester City fans knew that the glorious double score had made the suspense of this game disappear.

You don't have to think about what will happen next.

So they are not cheering for this goal of glory, they are celebrating the victory of the game in advance!

Guardiola seemed very anxious amid the huge cheers.

He didn't plan to give up on the game just like that.

It is impossible to win this game, and it is difficult to even tie the score.

But what Guardiola wants is to score one or two away goals.

As long as there are goals away, there is still hope to turn the tables at home.

He yelled at the devastated Barcelona players on the sidelines, cheering them up.

But this is of no use.

After the game restarted, the Barcelona players' performance made them completely unable to see their hope of scoring.

Manchester City is firmly controlled by the initiative in the game.

Manchester City still plays defensive counterattacks, shrinks defense, and allows Barcelona to attack.

But now Barcelona is a little afraid to attack.

This team that always plays offensive football, for the first time? Got the courage to attack.

They knew very well that if they continued to attack like this, the gap behind them would definitely be used by Manchester City. At that time, the fourth and fifth goals would follow one after another.

So when facing a three-goal behind, even if a away goal is needed, Barcelona can't attack.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the cheers at Manchester City Stadium could make people think that they won not be a semi-final victory, but a Champions League champion.

Barcelona players quickly fled the stadium, only Manchester City players stayed on the stadium and circled around for a week, thanking the fans who supported them.

Manchester City fans waved their arms to the players and kept shouting: "Allianz! Allianz! Allianz!"

Allianz Stadium is the venue for the Champions League final this season. Manchester City fans shouted this word to express their confidence in the team's entry to the finals.

In their opinion, defeating Barcelona 3-0 at home means half of their bodies have stepped into the Allianz Stadium.

After the game, Guardiola expressed his confidence in a comeback at a press conference.

"I know it's hard to reverse and turn the tables when you're behind three goals, but that's not the reason we give up. We'll go all out and Barcelona at Camp Nou will be invincible!"

Benitez is also very cautious: "It cannot be said that we have advanced to the finals now. After all, the semi-finals are two rounds, and Barcelona is not easy to play away. We will not be proud of underestimating the opponent."

Benitez denied the reporter's statement that Manchester City is the nemesis of Barcelona: "I don't believe in the 'nemesis'. We are not the nemesis of anyone else, nor are we nemesis. Every football game has a separate logic, and is affected by the status of the players on both sides at that time and the tactical arrangements of the coaches. This has nothing to do with the nemesis..."

Since Benitez said that Manchester City is not Barcelona's nemesis, the media will change the statement when reporting after the game - "natural enemies".

Barcelona has never been completely at a disadvantage when facing a team this century.
