Casemiro's goal made the situation of the game confusing again. After taking the lead, Manchester City had begun to try to control the tempo of the game, using their best ball control tactics to gradually consume Real Madrid's spirit and game time.

But Casemiro's goal disrupted everything, and the scores of both sides returned to the same starting line. Manchester City could no longer continue according to the original plan.

Moreover, Real Madrid's morale was completely boosted by Casemiro's goal. They found that it was not so difficult to break through Manchester City's defense.

Manchester City’s defense is indeed very strong, but Casemiro’s unexpected goal just now proved that as long as they seize the opportunity, they can still score.

As for how to create and seize opportunities, it depends on the on-the-spot performance of the stars in the Real Madrid team.

After successfully scoring once, Modric consciously distributed more ball rights to the left side.

Benzema had just orchestrated a goal and was in an excited stage at this time. After receiving the pass from Modric, he was particularly active and frequently tried to use his personal strength to create opportunities on the wing.

He was originally blocked by the opponent's Van Dijk and Stones, but after coming to the wing, he suddenly felt as if the sea was wide enough for fish to leap and the sky was high enough for birds to fly.

Compared with the defensive density in the middle, the defensive strength on the wing is much weaker. As long as he doesn't force himself into crowded places, he will be in a one-on-one advantageous position most of the time.

Benzema has good footwork and the physique of a center forward, which gives him an advantage in physical confrontations.

Moreover, unlike ordinary winger, Benzema is not the kind of full-back who dribbles the ball down the bottom and passes it. Instead, he is a player who likes to be active on the edge of the penalty area. This kind of player who is active in the ribs and has a passing point very close to his teammates in the penalty area poses a much greater threat to Manchester City's goal than ordinary winger.

In these ten minutes, Benzema succeeded three times and failed twice in several attempts from the wing.

The three successful attempts resulted in one goal, one shot, and one cross that was cleared by the opposing defender.

If Manchester City's goalkeeper had not been focused and saved Ronaldo's volley, Real Madrid might have reversed the score.

Real Madrid's offensive momentum was very fierce during this period. With the three midfielders continuously delivering artillery shells, their attacks came one after another, gradually forming a siege on Manchester City's goal.

For a while, there was panic in front of Manchester City's goal, and the whole formation was pressed very far back. Even if the defense was successful and the ball was cleared, since the outside was basically full of Real Madrid players, the ball would quickly return to Real Madrid, and then they would continue to besiege Manchester City.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were extremely excited. This is how they should play. This is the true strength of Real Madrid.

What a shitty European champion, they can only kneel in front of our Real Madrid!

Thanks to the strong support from his teammates, Ronaldo had many shooting opportunities during this period.

But Ronaldo's luck seemed to be not very good. His shots were either saved by the goalkeeper or he focused too much on the angle and hit the post and went wide.

But Ronaldo had a feeling that he was very close to scoring the second goal.

Sometimes, players' instincts are spot on.

In the 69th minute, after Manchester City cleared the ball, they were eager to push the front line forward, but Gundogan was suddenly robbed by Modric while dribbling the ball.

Modric did not grab the ball immediately, but forced Gundogan to pass it back.

When Gundogan passed the ball back, a white figure rushed over and snatched the ball away before the Manchester City players - Gareth Bale!

Manchester City immediately organized a counterattack after losing the ball, and Bale's dribbling route was almost completely cut off, but Modric did not return to the middle after pressing Gundogan, but went to the wing like a winger.

Bell only felt a white figure flash past him, and without thinking too much, he passed the ball directly.

After receiving the ball, Modric did not stop or adjust. He only had time to glance at the penalty area and passed the ball before being squeezed down by Manchester City players.

Modric's pass was in a very tricky position, right between Manchester City's goalkeeper and three defensive players in the penalty area.

The four Manchester City players closest to the landing point were unable to clear the ball in the first time. Instead, a person who broke through along the flank, relying on smart movement and keen sense of smell, kicked the ball into the net the moment the ball landed.

The goal was scored by Real Madrid's No. 7 player, Cristiano Ronaldo! This goal looked ordinary, as if it could be scored with just a light kick.

However, it is actually very difficult to score this goal, because it requires the player to have excellent shooting skills, top-notch sense of smell, outstanding off-ball movement and accurate prediction of the landing point of the football.

There are only a handful of strikers in the entire football world who can combine these skills! Perhaps in terms of visual impact, this goal is not as good as the goals of Lin Quan and Messi who passed five levels and cut six generals and broke through the levels alone.

But anyone who understands football can see Ronaldo's skills from this goal.

He is called a superstar and obviously has real talent!

After scoring the goal, Ronaldo seemed extremely excited. He had a feeling that this goal could determine the victory and help the team win the Champions League trophy! On the sidelines, Real Madrid coach Zidane was calm with his hands in his pockets, looking calm and relaxed. The next second, when he saw Ronaldo's goal, he excitedly clenched his fists, bent his legs, and let out a huge roar!

At this moment, he threw all the things like demeanor and master style out of the window! Fuck demeanor, fuck outside opinions, I don’t care about any of it, my team is going to win the championship! Everyone in Real Madrid knew how significant this goal was, so when Ronaldo ran to the sidelines to celebrate, the players on the bench and even some club staff rushed over and celebrated wildly.

At this moment, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium seemed to be dominated by Real Madrid fans.

Although their numbers were smaller than their opponents, the momentum and noise they made far exceeded that of their opponents.

At this moment, almost all Real Madrid fans, whether at the scene or in front of the TV, were cheering and celebrating.

Is Real Madrid finally going to win the 10th Champions League trophy in the history of the Champions League? They have been waiting for this moment for 15 years!

After winning the team's record-breaking ninth Champions League trophy in the 2001-2002 season, countless Real Madrid fans are looking forward to lifting the tenth Champions League trophy as soon as possible.

But even Real Madrid, which had recruited a number of top stars and built an extremely luxurious Galactico, still failed to achieve its goal. It even fell into a trough after the end of the first phase of the Galactico. It was unable to make a breakthrough in the Champions League for many years and even fell to the level of the 16th place in the Champions League.

Over the years, Real Madrid has spent lavishly in the transfer market, with big-name stars arriving one after another and head coaches being replaced one after another.

But the team always lost in the Champions League. First, they encountered Barcelona at its peak. After finally outlasting Barcelona, ​​Manchester City rose again.

Real Madrid is always just a little bit away from the tenth championship in team history.

This has made countless fans anxiously waiting, not knowing when their wish will be fulfilled.

At this moment, they saw hope! The dawn of victory was just around the corner, and countless Real Madrid fans seemed to have seen the Big Ear Cup waving at them!

“Damn it!”

When Guardiola saw his opponent score another goal, he kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him angrily.

The fourth official glanced at him, and seeing that he looked gloomy, he ignored him.

Guardiola was very angry, but he was not angry with the players, although the players on the field did bear an unshirkable responsibility for the loss.

But more responsibility actually lies on him.

As early as when Bale frequently attacked Manchester City's left wing, he was thinking about making a substitution.

At that time, Guardiola planned to replace Gundogan with Fernandinho to strengthen the defense.

Gundogan has actually done quite well, but he is not a full-time defensive midfielder after all, so we can't ask too much of him.

But Fernandinho is different. If he plays, Manchester City's two defensive midfielders are both sweeping midfielders, which can effectively limit the performance of the opponent's midfield.

But in this case, the task of organizing the team's offense will almost entirely fall on Lin Quan and David Silva.

Kante and Fernandini's offensive capabilities are relatively weak, and they have to devote most of their energy to defense, so we can't expect them to make any outstanding contributions in offense.

Therefore, such a substitution seems a bit risky.

This was the main reason why Guardiola hesitated! But it was this hesitation that caused the team to lose two goals in ten minutes, which completely reversed the situation of the game.

Manchester City went from being the leader to being the laggard.

Now they are not only under great pressure on defense, but also on offense.

Real Madrid can continue to attack Manchester City with the momentum of scoring goals one after another.

They can also start to control the tempo of the game, solidify their defense and waste time, just like Manchester City did before.

The initiative of the game was completely reversed after Ronaldo scored his second goal.

Guardiola is not an indecisive person. Now that he has realized that there are problems with the team's defense, he will no longer hesitate.

He quickly made the decision to make substitutions, and he replaced two people at once!

Fernandini comes on and Gundogan comes off.

Sane comes on and Aguero goes off.

If the first substitution was a positional substitution and could be understood, then the second substitution was a bit confusing.

Sane is a winger. If he is replaced by Aguero, who will play as a striker for Manchester City?

The answer is Mbappe!

What surprised the fans even more was that Guardiola did not let Fernandinho play as a defensive midfielder, but let Fernandinho play as a full-back, making Manchester City's formation become a very strange 5131. The fans said they didn't understand, what kind of formation is this?

Never seen it before! Not to mention ordinary fans, even Manchester City fans have never seen it before.

Three central defenders? Not really! Manchester City's defense only has two central defenders, a defensive midfielder, and two full-backs.

Can this be played as a back three? And isn't Sane's position a bit wrong? According to this formation, he should be playing as a left midfielder, but why is his position more like a left winger?

But what is even more strange is Mbappe. Let an 18-year-old player who is used to playing as a winger play as a striker. Can he play? I don't understand, I really don't understand! Fans are wondering if Guardiola's habitual habit of making things up has happened again, and not only has he done it, but he has also dealt a big blow to everyone.

After seeing the opponent's formation change, Zidane couldn't help but frown.

Why can't I understand the opponent's intention? Fernandinho is such a good defensive midfielder, but he is not placed in the defensive midfielder position, but in the full-back position. Isn't this a bit of a waste? Although David Silva does have good organizational skills, it is not impossible to put him in the attacking midfielder position, but the pressure in this position is much greater than that on the wing. Can David Silva withstand it? As for whether Mbappe can play as a striker, Zidane is not sure, but judging from the impact shown by Mbappe before, his threat should not be underestimated.

In the stands, France national team coach Didier Deschamps couldn't help but sit up straight after seeing Guardiola's change of formation.

He is very interested in Guardiola's tactics, but he is more interested in Mbappe's performance in the striker position.

He has no doubt about Guardiola's judgment of people. Since Guardiola did this, he must have his reasons.

Therefore, he is looking forward to seeing Mbappe bring him more surprises in the striker position.

In the box of the stadium, Florentino relaxed after the team took the lead.

Like Deschamps, he watched Mbappe's performance closely with an appreciative attitude.

Of the 11 Manchester City players on the field, there are three who interest him the most.

Of course, Lin Quan is ranked first, Mbappe is ranked second, and Kante is ranked third.

It is too difficult to dig out Lin Quan, and Real Madrid has basically given up hope.

Although Kante is good, Casemiro's performance is not bad, so Real Madrid is not in a hurry for the time being.

But Mbappe, for Real Madrid, is someone they are very anxious to buy.

As Bale gets older and suffers more injuries, and as Ronaldo gradually switches from winger to center forward, there are almost no genuine wingers left in Real Madrid.

Mbappe, a young, talented, fast and powerful winger, is tailor-made for Real Madrid!

Florentino is looking forward to seeing Mbappe demonstrate more of his abilities, and of course, he hopes that Real Madrid will win in the end.

And just like that, amid doubts, curiosity and even expectations from all parties, the competition started again.

The effectiveness of Manchester City's change of formation will ultimately be tested in the game! When the game resumed, Real Madrid players quickly felt that their opponents had become a little different.

Although only two people were replaced, it was like changing a whole team, giving them a strange feeling. (End of this chapter)
