Monaco kicked off in the center circle, quickly looking for Falcao.

Falcao's abilities haven't declined much; his experience has become richer. It can be said that he is at the peak of his comprehensive strength as a player.

Compared with Aguero, his ball-holding ability is slightly weaker. If he can't shoot directly after receiving the ball, he will generally act as a support point, passing the ball to Mbappe or Silva.

This time, he faced Kolarov on Manchester City's left on the right, and still did not choose to break through. With a horizontal pass, Mbappe, who followed up, didn't hesitate at all and shot with a raised leg!

Bravo reacted quickly and hugged the ball directly.

The pace of both sides is very fast, and it is easy to find opportunities.

Manchester City's defense level still has very big loopholes when facing a team like Monaco.

Bravo's shot-stopping level is not very good, but his strength lies in his ball distribution ability.

The moment he received the ball, he threw a powerful hand pass far away, finding Zhao Gang near the center circle!

They often use this tactic in training!

Zhao Gang, half-turned, stopped the ball with his left foot. Fabinho quickly leaned over. He still didn't learn his lesson. He was passed by Zhao Gang last time, but this time he still didn't remember. Zhao Gang hooked the ball and easily passed it from the other side!

Fabinho noticed the huge gap behind him. He couldn't let Zhao Gang break through so easily, so he directly rammed him fiercely!

Before falling to the ground, Zhao Gang poked the ball out.

The referee moved his hands forward, indicating an advantage to the offense. Delph got the ball and poked it forward again. Sterling's foot frequency was very fast. After a sudden cut inside, he shot!

Bang!

The football hit the crossbar!

Earlier, it was Jardim who was regretting, but now it was Guardiola's turn to hold his head.

The speed of the two sides and the number of opportunities created really demonstrated a very high level of tactical skill.

In the sixteenth minute of the game, after Monaco's attack failed, Delph, who had the ball, was suddenly intercepted by Lemar!

Lemar's ability is very comprehensive. He is not only good at small-scale ball control and dribbling, but also has an extremely sharp long pass to find teammates.

He only observed his teammates' running positions and found Falcao on the right with a long pass.

Falcao advanced quickly with the ball, and Bernardo Silva behind him quickly插shang.

This game did not enter Manchester City's rhythm, but was instead led by Monaco.

Falcao's breakthrough ability is not top-notch, and he didn't intend to do it alone. He made a diagonal pass in front of the penalty area and found Bernardo Silva.

Silva, who stepped into the penalty area, shook left and right continuously. Kolarov behind him seized the opportunity and directly tackled.

Bernardo Silva fell heavily to the ground!

Mbappe, not far away, frantically raised his hands to signal a foul, a foul!

Stones kicked the ball out of the penalty area. Just as Manchester City was about to launch a counterattack, the referee blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot!

Kolarov widened his eyes and kept explaining. Manchester City's players rushed to the scene quickly.

This time, Zhao Gang did not stand in the distance and wait as before, but stood on the front line, although it was Otamendi and Fernandinho who were communicating with the referee.

Cheers from the stands rose everywhere, but the referee shook his head and reached out to stop the Manchester City players.

Penalty!

Kolarov brought down Bernardo Silva from behind, which was indisputable!

"Kolarov, this foul... is indeed a foul. He brought down Bernardo Silva from behind. Silva's personal ability is very outstanding. He can pass and break through, and he is an extremely powerful attacking midfielder. After this season, I am afraid it will attract a lot of competition from many wealthy families."

"Not only Silva, but also young players like Lemar, Bakayoko, Fabinho, and Mendy are performing very well! As long as Monaco is willing to let go, I believe they will all become targets for European giants!

Fabinho, you see him being passed twice in a row by Zhao Gang, but that's Zhao Gang. Near the midfield, let alone Fabinho, even the top Premier League defensive midfielder, even Fernandinho, can't defend him well!

Fabinho's interception ability is actually very outstanding."

"Yes, the entire Monaco midfield and frontcourt are very strong, and they are not afraid of confrontation at all. Facing Manchester City, they are not timid at all!

This time, Silva's breakthrough caused Kolarov's foul, and the referee gave Monaco a penalty!

It is very likely to rewrite the score again."

Monaco's first penalty taker is still Falcao.

"Falcao, run-up! Shot!! The ball went in!

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Falcao scored a penalty, and Monaco took the lead again at home!

Bernardo Silva broke into the penalty area to win a penalty for Monaco, and Falcao scored with one kick!"

Bravo slammed the turf hard. He judged the direction correctly, but it was just a little bit off. He watched helplessly as the football passed his fingertips and entered the net!

The Monaco fans in the stands have already started setting off fireworks. Amidst the swirling smoke, tens of thousands of fans shouted and applauded.

Coach Jardim waved his fists, his emotions agitated.

They are in the lead again!

Manchester City is nothing more than this!

They had just quickly equalized the score, which made him worry for a while, but now it seems that Manchester City's defense is likely to concede goals again!/

Because Guardiola's formation has increased the attacking ability, but there is one less defensive midfielder, and the defense is much weaker. Monaco's midfield and frontcourt players have enough impact to easily break through Manchester City's defense!

Jesus shook his head and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Gang.

This guy is really a wooden man, not affected at all.

Fans kept shouting that Monaco would beat Manchester City and Mbappe would kick Zhao until he cried, but this guy seemed not to hear it.

Jesus really admired this mentality.

"If you can be so calm after being behind for ninety minutes, I really admire you." Jesus ran quickly to the center circle, preparing to kick off again.

After Zhao Gang received the ball, he didn't rush forward, but started to direct his teammates' running positions in the frontcourt.

He even turned around and, after a pass back, had Kolarov and Zabaleta pull farther apart.

The two full-backs are familiar with this kind of running and positioning and often use it in training.

It's just that the two of them were a little puzzled. Zhao Gang would never direct his teammates before, especially the defense. He never interfered at all.

Today, he has changed a lot. When arguing with the referee, he would even run to the front.

In the past, he would stand far away, waiting for his teammates to go and argue.

After Zhao Gang pushed the ball out in the middle, he kept raising his hand to tell his teammates to slow down the pace.

Even if they are behind, they can't just move forward.

This fast pace is extremely detrimental to Manchester City.

Manchester City's defense simply cannot withstand Monaco's impact.

They must slow down the speed and enter Manchester City's rhythm.

However, Monaco disagreed. Monaco had already tasted the sweetness of this fast pace.

Their two goals were both achieved through high pressing and in a fast-paced manner.

Therefore, the young players, led by Mbappe, continued to press up, giving Manchester City enough pressure.

These young people are all very ambitious and are eager to prove themselves. They not only want to defeat Manchester City, but also win decisively by a large score, making the second leg of the match completely meaningless!
