Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 347 Champions League Semifinals
In the following period, the Barcelona players' mentality clearly became unbalanced, their front and back lines became noticeably disconnected, and their mistakes continued to increase.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are in high spirits.

In the final ten minutes, they were evenly matched with Barcelona.

Barcelona have already lost the game, 2-5, a devastating score.

The Barcelona players were helpless, as were the fans in the stands, many of whom had already left the stadium early.

Ultimately, neither side managed to score again.

2:5.

This is the final score.

Barcelona's players, fans, and even the media were all bitter and found the result unacceptable.

Manchester City are very excited.

This score is very favorable for them.

A 5-2 away win against Barcelona is practically a guarantee of advancing to the semi-finals.

The entire team, the fans, and even the English media who came with the team were as excited as if it were a festival. They were reluctant to leave and enjoyed the afterglow of the great victory. Even after the game, the fans were unwilling to leave and kept laughing on the field.

Shan Yongzhuo is naturally at the center.

A group of teammates turned into sycophants, bowing and scraping, especially their number one lackey, Aguero, who showered him with nauseating compliments:

"I knew we could win."

"We do have orders!"

"hat trick!"

"No one can challenge his title as the Champions League Golden Boot winner!"

The other teammates also praised him in the same way, except that Aguero, the sycophant, wasn't among them.

However, the result of the match spread quickly.

Manchester City thrashed Barcelona 5-2 away from home, winning the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final and securing a place in the semi-finals.

The same applies to media reports.

"With a 3-goal deficit and 5 away goals, Barcelona has no chance left. Manchester City has secured a spot in the semi-finals."

"A historic run to the semi-finals, Manchester City fans can start celebrating early."

"A hat-trick, Shan Yongzhuo shone throughout the game, and he was also responsible for Pique's own goal."

"After scoring five goals to eliminate Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, Shan Yongzhuo once again scored a hat-trick at the Camp Nou!"

"Shan Yongzhuo is the nightmare of the two La Liga giants!"

"..."

Media reports from various sources have been overwhelmingly positive about Manchester City and Shan Yongzhuo.

Everyone at Manchester City is very happy.

For example, after the match, Mancini gave the team a day off, even though the league competition is still very fierce.

However, the competition is intense, especially the title race between Manchester City and Manchester United.

Manchester City are only two points ahead of Manchester United, and with seven league games remaining, they could be overtaken by United at any time.

In the actual schedule, this period is no longer so dense.

For Mancini, the Champions League is important, but the score in the first leg at Camp Nou gave him a lot of confidence. He can give the team a break and then focus on the league.

The score was 5-2.

Back at home, even with a reserve squad, Mancini is confident he can lead his team to victory.

Holidays always feel relaxing.

However, Shan Yongzhuo was somewhat speechless. Kross had secured him an endorsement deal with Head & Shoulders from Procter & Gamble.

This advertisement left him speechless.

"Head & Shoulders, removes dandruff, and gives me more confidence in heading the ball!" The advertising slogan made Shan Yongzhu feel helpless, but the endorsement fee was too considerable, so he had no choice but to accept it.

After all, although Granada has a good chance of avoiding relegation this season, Shan Yongzhuo still won't be able to play for Granada next season.

To avoid relegation, a certain level of investment is still required.

Because of their resounding victory over Barcelona, ​​Manchester City can prepare for the league with ease.

However, the opponent in the next round of the league will be a tough opponent.

The entire Manchester City team traveled to London to play Arsenal away.

Although Arsenal had a poor start to the season, they are now firmly in fourth place and could even overtake Tottenham to take third at any time.

Chelsea, trailing behind, have no hope of catching up with Arsenal.

"Indeed, Arsenal, fighting for a top-four finish, is the most terrifying."

Shan Yongzhuo also sighed.

However, all of this is thanks to head coach Arsène Wenger.

Despite disliking Wenger, Shan Yongzhuo has to admire him. Despite the dire financial situation and the need to sell captains one after another, Arsenal has managed to maintain its competitiveness and consistently remain in the top four of the league.

It must be said that Wenger is very capable.

However, Arsenal were completely helpless against Manchester City in this match at the Emirates Stadium.

Manchester City, riding high on their victory over Barcelona, ​​thrashed Arsenal at the stadium.

Shan Yongzhuo scored a hat-trick in both halves, while Aguero and Silva also scored, leading Manchester City to a 5-1 away victory over Arsenal and maintaining their strong performance in the league.

Wenger was also frustrated with the score, but even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. The only reliable player he has right now is Van Persie, the second-highest scorer in the Premier League.

After defeating Arsenal, Manchester City returned to Champions League mode, hosting the second leg against Barcelona at home.

Despite the resounding away victory in the first leg making the second leg seem like a foregone conclusion, Mancini became somewhat cautious as the match approached, not daring to be careless.

With all the main players on the field, Shan Yongzhuo was naturally not spared either.

Barcelona also put in a lot of effort in this match.

However, their morale was clearly off, and Guardiola seemed to have given up on the match.

Thus, the two sides played a lukewarm game, ending in a 4-2 victory for Manchester City at home.

Shan Yongzhuo scored two more goals, bringing his total to five goals in the two legs against Barcelona, ​​and raising his Champions League goal tally to 27.

This is alarming data.

27 goals, which has already surpassed the goal tally of many league top scorers.

Aguero also performed very well, scoring two goals, the same as Shan Yongzhuo.

After the match, the media praised Aguero's performance, calling him the best helper to Shan Yongzhuo and naming him the best player of the match.

Of course, many people believe the reason is that Shan Yongzhuo only played the first half.

Dan Yongzhuo's performance on the field was too calm and composed. Even when he was targeted and tackled repeatedly, he remained leisurely and calm. Such a performance would be described as lazy if it were someone else.

But no one says Shan Yongzhuo is lazy; his goal-scoring statistics speak for themselves.

Regardless, Manchester City defeated Barcelona to advance to the semi-finals.

This is historic for Manchester City.

Despite facing formidable opponents like Real Madrid and Barcelona in the knockout stages, Manchester City managed to hold their own, something no one expected.

soon.

All Champions League quarter-final matches have concluded.

In other matches, Chelsea defeated Arsenal, Bayern Munich defeated APOEL Nicosia, and Inter Milan defeated Benfica.

The Champions League semi-finalists are Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan.
