Chapter 606 Decide who can advance
Swish!
The ball rolled into the net like a basketball in the basket, looking comfortable.
Scoring again!
The 47th goal in the league!
A goal in Premier League matches that appeared in thirty consecutive games.
In the league, Xu Qi has scored forty-seven goals, and his efficiency is extremely terrifying.
West Ham United can't defend against Xu Qi.
West Ham United coach Allardyce could only give Xu Qi an applause from the long side.
All the fans also shouted Xu Qi's name loudly.
At this Etihad Stadium, Xu Qi enjoys the treatment of the king.
However, he, the king, did not play the full game.
Pellegrini was very happy to see Xu Qi scored, and the team took a two-goal lead in the first half.
Therefore, in the second half, Pellegrini directly took Xu Qi.
Of course, this is to give Xu Qi a good rest. After all, the lead of two goals is still at home, and Manchester City's three-pointer is already relatively stable.
He doesn't want Xu Qi to take risks.
This is indeed a wise choice. Although Xu Qi was a little unhappy, he accepted it.
After all, the victory of this game is almost certain, and the Champions League team is now a big feast.
They have won the Premier League twice, but they have never entered the semi-finals in the Champions League. Even in the quarterfinals, this is the first time they have entered.
The final result of this game was still 2 to zero.
In the second half, neither side scored a goal.
Next, everyone began to wait for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
This is an absolute battle of life and death.
Atletico Madrid naturally won’t give up the opportunity to enter the semi-finals so easily, especially since Simeone is the coach of this team. Their spiritual strength is indeed quite terrifying.
The first leg score of the four quarterfinals in the Champions League has been released, and the quota of teams entering the finals is expected by many people.
Juventus defeated Monaco 1-0 at home, won the home court and did not score a away goal for Monaco. The possibility of entering the semi-finals is very high.
Real Madrid defeated Porto 3-1, which made the second leg less suspense.
Barcelona defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 away, and took the absolute initiative in advancement.
The first leg match between Manchester City, which tied 2-2 with Atletico Madrid away, was the only draw in four games.
It is also the most suspenseful group of conversations in the quarterfinals.
The Champions League match in the second week was the first to play Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid vs Porto.
Real Madrid tied two to two, and finally advanced to the Champions League semi-finals five to three.
Another favorite team to win the championship, Barcelona, defeated Paris Saint-Germain again at home, and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with a total score of five to one.
In this case, if Manchester City successfully advances to the semi-finals, their opponent will be confirmed.
It must be Real Madrid.
Xu Qi will also face Real Madrid again after the Champions League final last season.
Continuously against the Madrid two heroes.
This is a very difficult challenge.
April 23.
At the Etihad Stadium, the highly anticipated second-leg contest in the Champions League quarter-finals is finally about to begin.
Simeone appeared on the side of the Etihad Stadium, and not far from him was Pellegrini.
Players from both sides entered the stadium with music.
Xu Qi has always enjoyed this kind of evening event. Generally, Premier League events are held earlier. At that time, the sun is relatively sunny, so the feeling of playing ball is not as good as at night.
Atletico Madrid's starting lineup has actually changed very little.
Compared with the previous game, M Suarez was unable to play due to cumulative yellow cards, so he was replaced by young player Saul.
In addition, captain Gabby was unable to play.
Gabi's position was replaced by Thiago.
In addition to these two points, Atletico Madrid's starting lineup has not changed.
The extremely popular Torres did not make a debut in the last game. In this game, he still sat on the bench waiting for an opportunity.
Similarly, after a rotation in the weekend league, all the starting players returned in this game.
Compared with the last game, Manchester City also received good news, that is, Kompany has returned to the team.
The central defender who returned in the Manchester derby and ended up injured, has now made a comeback again.
Pellegrini naturally trusts this favorite. As long as he returns, he will inevitably appear on the starting list.
In addition, the two full-backs in this game were also replaced by Sarnia on the right and Krish on the left.
Other locations, no changes.
"Xu Qi!"
"Xu Qi!"
"Xu Qi!"
Before the game started, the fans at the scene began to shout Xu Qi's name wildly.
Compared with the momentum of Atletico Madrid fans in the last game at Calderon Stadium, the momentum of Manchester City fans in this game was not weak at all.
The fans on the scene were full and the attendance rate was extremely high.
All fans are looking forward to the team's historically reaching the final Champions League semi-finals and even the finals.
Many fans at the scene have now put up banners with slogans written on them.
They have even set their sights on the semi-finals against Real Madrid.
After all, Real Madrid has reached the finals and has been confirmed to be the next opponent after Manchester City advances.
Some fans even shouted the slogan of pointing at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.wwuukashu
This year's Champions League final will be held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium in Germany.
The fans are so popular that the players are excited.
The competition finally began.
Manchester City took advantage of the home advantage as soon as they started the game and took the initiative.
Of course, they are not in a hurry to attack. The one they are in a hurry now is Atletico Madrid.
After all, although they had a draw last round, they still scored away goals.
Therefore, as long as the final score ends at zero to zero, the team that advances will be Manchester City.
As soon as the game started, Aguero got another chance to shoot.
However, this opportunity was not very good, and Aguero's shot also missed the closest corner of the goal.
Then Xu Qi immediately got another shot, but at the same angle, Xu Qi's shot also missed.
At the beginning, Manchester City seemed to be a team with greater initiative, and they seemed to play more actively, and it seemed that they were the side behind.
Simeone is not panicked on the long side. After all, the game has just begun and he has arranged the tactics. Now he should pay attention to reminding his players and trust the execution of his players.
Manchester City's fighting power at home is indeed quite strong, which is actually somewhat beyond Simone's expectations.
The beginning of this game is completely different from the beginning of the first round of the two teams.
Manchester City's cooperation has become quite tacit, and it seems very adaptable to Atletico Madrid's fight, and it is calm and passes on.
About ten minutes later, Xu Qi made a ball for David Silva on his heels, and even made a single shot for David Silva.
Unfortunately, Oblack attacked in time and took the initiative to resolve David Silva's single shot.
Chapter completed!
