He finally got another chance to touch the ball.
The moment Aguero received the ball, there was actually a Monaco defender next to him. However, Glik's defense was useless against Aguero. When Lei Ming saw that Manchester City's star striker had another half-breakaway, he pretended to move towards the opponent's position to make a tackle.
As expected, top striker Aguero was successfully drawn in by his actions and did not hesitate to chip the ball towards the far corner.
In a flash, Lei Ming reversed his body twice, leaping high to the other side and successfully catching the not-too-fast football.
The reason he was able to make such an unconventional move was because he had already conserved the momentum of his counterattack, making the attack incredibly easy.
Aguero looked at the football that had been picked up, as if struck by lightning!
This handsome Asian goalkeeper became his nightmare in the game, saving several crucial shots. He never imagined that one day he would become the background of a goalkeeper's famous moment.
This is an absolute humiliation for a top striker.
Lei Ming's half-breakaway save was absolutely brilliant, eliciting gasps of amazement from many fans in the stadium, along with a deep sense of regret.
"That goalkeeper is simply amazing, he managed to save that."
"Aguero is having a tough time; he didn't score a single goal in 90 minutes."
"Damn, can you believe this goalkeeper was only worth 100,000 euros at the beginning? He wouldn't even be enough to be toilet paper for Manchester City!"
"Guardiola still has poor judgment; he didn't even discover such an excellent goalkeeper."
Fans were full of praise for the goalkeeper's amazing performance.
On the sidelines, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was so stunned by the incredible save that he made a classic meme-worthy expression, covering his head with both hands, his forehead full of wrinkles, and his eyes showing disbelief!
However, he didn't have much time to reflect.
The moment Lei Ming received the ball, he ran towards the designated position, and his teammates cleared a wide path for him so that he would not be disturbed.
This throw, brimming with almost all of Lei Ming's power, was both rapid and powerful.
In the attacking third, Monaco's attacking line, understanding the situation perfectly, also sprinted forward, shaking off their previous sluggishness and pouncing towards Manchester City's backline like lions just awakened.
Among these lions, the fastest is undoubtedly the French supercar Kylian Mbappé.
As soon as he saw the ball being successfully intercepted by Rego, Mbappe was already preparing to counterattack. He successfully broke the offside trap and stood out. After receiving the flying ball smoothly, he didn't even dribble and immediately unleashed a powerful long-range shot.
The reason he was so confident was because he had already observed the opposing goalkeeper's position, which was too far forward.
He was very confident in his shooting and footwork, which led to the classic scene at the Al-Ittihad Stadium.
A young Frenchman unleashed a beautiful long-range shot from half-court in the Champions League!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal~~~~"
"Kyrian~~~Kyrian~~~Kyrian~~~.............Kyrian~~~"
"I knew this kid could do it!"
"A superb world-class goal! That shot was simply art, pure art!"
The Monaco TV presenter nearly lost his breath after seeing the goal!
If that were the case, he would probably become the number one football commentator and be remembered forever!
Overwhelmed with excitement, he slapped the table in front of him and embraced his partner.
Mbappe's shot nearly made TV presenters around the world jump for joy. On the field, he, who had been looking forward to the whole game, finally got his goal, and it was Lei Ming who provided the direct assist.
He once again shook off his teammates who tried to intercept him and ran towards Lei Ming in the backcourt, pulling him along to celebrate in front of the camera not far away.

The ML duo makes a powerful return to the Etihad Stadium!
Before they could maintain their pose for long, their teammates rushed over and tackled them to the ground, happy smiles spreading across everyone's faces.
Because they all knew that the winner of this match belonged to them.
This goal not only excited the players, but also the coaching staff, who all embraced each other in excitement.
Especially Yaldin, whose fair face became unusually flushed.
It's clear how excited he was at that moment, with his hands clenched into fists.
Playing ugly football, acting like a cowardly head coach, and listening to the most offensive insults from the fans, he also has emotions, he is not calm, the reason he endures it is for this moment!
With the sharpest blow, Monaco silenced the Etihad Stadium; they truly succeeded.
Mourinho and Wenger, who had just walked into the backfield together, heard the cheers and the announcer's sighs of regret outside. After exchanging a glance, they suddenly smiled at each other.
It seems the result of the match did not deviate from the two players' predictions; Monaco indeed won the game.
Mourinho understands the essence of counter-attacking football, and so does Wenger. After all, he has stayed up many nights working on this tactic. As long as the game is not over, there is absolutely no reason to relax. And just now, Guardiola's Manchester City relaxed.
Although there were still two minutes left in the game, Manchester City might still have a chance to equalize, but almost everyone knew it would be difficult.
