The path to becoming a football legend began with being ousted from Carrington by Manchester United.

Aguero's goal brought the aggregate score to 2-3, leaving Manchester City just one point behind Barcelona. However, considering the away goals rule, Manchester City will need to score at least two more goals to advance.

Having just scored the most spectacular goal of his career, Aguero excitedly ran behind Lin Yi, who had provided the assist, and leaped onto Lin Yi's back.

"Isn't it awesome? I'm asking you, isn't it awesome? Even video games wouldn't dare design something like this! Konami and EA have no imagination. I'll go back and suggest they make our goals the game's opening sequence."

"Get down here right now!" Lin Yi shook his body and threw Aguero to the ground.

This sudden interruption to his joy left Aguero feeling as frustrated as watching a movie when his mother suddenly came home from get off work at a crucial moment.

"Fuck! Are you jealous? Didn't I just say we're a couple? You deserve half the credit!"

Lin Yi ignored Aguero and ran straight to the Barcelona goal, picked up the ball from beside the stunned Valdes, and ran back with it in his arms.

Aguero slapped his forehead: "Right, right, how could I forget that? I'm so behind the times!"

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Aguero ran back to his own half of the field with Lin Yi.

Lin placed the ball on the tee box and casually remarked, "Awesome!"

"What?"

"It's nothing."

"Did you compliment me?"

"I don't!"

"You did compliment me, I heard you!"

"If you heard it, why are you even asking?"

It was rare to hear praise from Lin Yi, and Aguero's suppressed excitement surged back, making him feel like he had inexhaustible energy.

In the following matches, Aguero was like he was on steroids, running tirelessly all over the field, and you could see him everywhere.

He presses high, coordinates defense, and participates in counter-attacks. Even when the ball goes out of bounds, he complains that the ball throw-in is too slow, so he runs over to urge the ball boy to get the ball and hand it to the Barcelona player.

Barcelona, ​​having just conceded a spectacular long-range goal, were understandably demoralized, which only made Aguero stand out even more.

Under Aguero's leadership, Manchester City's overall performance has improved significantly, and their possession rate has slowly climbed from less than 30%.

Although the initiative remained with Barcelona, ​​Manchester City managed to mount a few decent attacks.

Even Barcelona's star player, Messi, dropped back to the midfield area to help his teammates stabilize the situation.

Pellegrini remained anxiously standing on the sidelines. So far, his plan seemed to be working, but it was far from enough.

If Manchester City doesn't capitalize on their momentum quickly, as time goes on, even if Barcelona fans are unhappy, manager Guardiola will likely have his players become more conservative. Therefore, Manchester City needs to act fast.

This idea was exactly in line with Aguero's, who was in a state of high excitement on the field.

Ah Kun didn't think as deeply as the Chilean engineer; he was just instinctively excited, an excitement he couldn't suppress!

Before joining Manchester City, Aguero always believed that he would be the standard-bearer for this newly rich Premier League team.

However, when he arrived in Manchester, he discovered that Lin Yi had appeared out of nowhere and had been stealing his thunder from the very beginning.

Whether in terms of statistics or team status, Aguero is no match for the suddenly emerging Lin Yi. To put it bluntly, he has become the other's foil.

Although their relationship went through an initial unpleasant phase, they are now good friends, but the desire to prove himself has always been hidden in Aguero's heart.

Plus, Lin Yi, that bastard, usually does nothing but insult him, but today, for the first time ever, he heard Lin Yi praise him. This made Aguero's adrenaline surge soar into Fujiwara Tofu Shop's AE86, speeding all the way up Mount Akina.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Manchester City regained possession from Barcelona.

The ball was passed to Yaya Touré, who, as instructed by Pellegrini, made a direct long pass to initiate a counter-attack without any hesitation.

This time the target was Aguero. He had just switched positions with Lin Yi, with Lin Yi in the middle to receive the ball and Aguero moving to the left wing to receive it.

Having just conceded a goal to Manchester City on a counter-attack, Barcelona's two full-backs have reduced their attacking runs.

This time, Barcelona's right-back Dani Alves did not participate in the previous attack, but stayed in his position, which allowed him to immediately mark Aguero.

With someone marking him closely, Aguero couldn't stop the high ball and could only obediently compete with the opponent for the landing point.

For the 173cm tall Aguero, heading the ball is his weakness, but today Aguero is full of confidence, and in his eyes there is nothing he cannot do.

Moreover, his opponent Alves is only 172cm tall, so Aguero would never take him seriously.

"Get out of my way, you little mule! This ball is mine!"

While loudly taunting his opponent, Aguero leaped high into the air, his arms outstretched naturally in the air, overpowering his opponent and seizing the first landing point.

Lin Yi had already moved towards this side to support Aguero, and at this moment he received Aguero's precise header pass.

Lin Yi received the ball and immediately turned around. Aguero landed and quickly followed up. The two accelerated one after the other.

Just as the Manchester City duo were simultaneously pushing off the ground, the referee's whistle suddenly blew, leaving the two completely bewildered and wondering what had happened.

"Referee, what happened? Why did you stop the game?" Aguero asked the referee, who was running over.

UEFA has selected German referee Felix Brych as the referee for this match. He is known for his strict officiating standards, and although his officiating level is often criticized, UEFA still regards him as a rising star.

Brych didn't answer Aguero's question. Instead, he waved his right elbow twice in the air and pulled a red card from his back pocket with his left hand, showing it directly to Aguero, who had just won the header.

Aguero's expression instantly shifted from curiosity to horror; he simply couldn't believe his eyes.

"Are you kidding me? What the hell is going on?"

Brych still didn't answer him, his face bearing the typical serious expression of a German, and pointed behind Aguero.

Aguero turned around following the other person's finger and saw that Alves, who had just contested the ball with him, was lying on the ground in pain, covering his face and rolling around on the ground. The commotion was more tragic than the slaughter of a pig during the Lunar New Year.

"Are you crazy? I didn't touch him at all!"

Brych remained silent, but firmly pointed to the edge of the field, signaling Aguero to leave immediately.

Just moments before, Aguero was at the peak of his career, but he plummeted to the bottom like someone jumping off a cliff, clutching his head in disbelief.

The referee seemed to hear something in his headset and then quickly ran to the sidelines.

This left Aguero and Lin Yi, who were arguing their case, without a target. They had a thousand words to say, but at this moment, they couldn't utter a single one.

Lin Yi hugged Aguero and gently rubbed his head with his right hand.

"Go, you little mule, leave the rest to me, just like when you got injured, remember?"

The referee, Brych, ran off in a hurry because he had been summoned by the fourth official.

Just now, Pellegrini, who is usually known for his refined manners, lost his composure in a rare outburst. He roared at the fourth official, spitting everywhere, and fidgeting with his fingers as if counting money.

"Has this referee had his brain run over by a car? Doesn't he recognize the infamous Alves? A year ago, that cheat used almost the same method to get Pepe sent off. Aren't you guys going a bit too far? Are UEFA and that idiot referee so short of money? If you're short of money, just say so! Manchester City has plenty!"

With that statement, Pellegrini could only expect a red card.

Brych simply listened briefly to the fourth official's report before pulling out the red card he had just put back in his pocket and showing it again to the enraged Pellegrini.

Just half an hour into the match, Manchester City manager Pellegrini and goal scorer Aguero were both sent off.
