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

"The 'Temporary Instance: The Perfect Ending of a Master' Redemption Quest has been completed. The host will receive the ultimate reward after completing the quest on Hell difficulty."

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained three attributes of French national team player Thierry Henry: dribbling, positioning, and professionalism."

"The host's dribbling, positioning, and professionalism attributes have been upgraded to S, A+, and A+, respectively, based on Thierry Henri. As a result, the host's agility and decision-making attributes have been slightly improved."

The latest attribute panel is as follows:

"Lin Yi, 18 years old, 188cm tall, 84.5kg."

"Psychological Attributes: Decision-making (A-), Composure (A-), Willpower (B+), Competition Performance (B), Aggression (A), Teamwork (B+), Leadership (B-), Adaptability (B), Creativity (A-), Professionalism (A+)"

"The dungeon is about to end, please prepare."

Thanks to the systematic training and high-intensity competitions of the past few months, Lin Yi's multiple attributes have all increased to varying degrees, except for the two rewards he received from the dungeon.

He grew 1cm taller and gained 1.5kg, making him look much stronger.

However, the most important thing for Lin Yi was not to check his personal panel, but to deal with Emma Watson, who was about to go berserk.

"You bastard! All men are heartless! You've only been around for a few months and you're already tired of me! You even pushed me away when we were kissing!"

Lin Yi, having mastered the skills of Cao Dahua, the "Tiger" of the Major Crimes Unit, shoved Emma aside and slapped her hard on the buttocks with his left hand.

"Quiet! I'm thinking about tomorrow's game."

Emma's eyes softened instantly. She hugged Lin Yi's arm and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Don't think about it, darling. Go to sleep early. I firmly believe you're the best. Bayern Munich, Robben, Ribery—none of them are a match for you!"

Lin Yi glanced at Emma sideways and said with displeasure, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"No, no!" Emma excitedly gave Lin Yi a deep kiss on the cheek, then stuck out her buttocks, which Lin Yi had just slapped, striking a charming pose. "Darling, I'm waiting for your victorious return tomorrow!"

Carrying the expectations of internationally renowned actress Emma Watson, Lin Yi stepped onto the Etihad Stadium the next day in high spirits, ready to face Bayern Munich in the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Bayern Munich fielded a full-strength squad and adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation away from home.

The starting goalkeeper will be Neuer, who broke the Bundesliga goalkeeper transfer record this season with a transfer fee of 3000 million euros and just transferred from Schalke 04.

Partnering Badstuber at center-back is Jerome Boateng, who transferred to Bayern this summer after being sidelined at Manchester City. The right-back is Brazilian Rafinha, and the left-back is Philipp Lahm, the team captain who came up through Bayern's own youth academy.

The midfield pairing consists of Tymoshchuk and Kroos, with Thomas Müller playing as a shadow striker.

On the wings, the renowned Robben-Ribery duo, the Flying Dutchman Robben and the Scarface Ribery, are the most threatening players in this Bayern team, and their attacks mainly rely on the two flanks.

At the forefront, in the center forward position, is Mario Gomez, who scored 28 league goals last season, replacing Klose as Germany's new generation of strikers.

反观曼城这边，因为阿奎罗和席尔瓦的缺阵，佩莱格里尼不得不放弃球队熟悉的4-2-3-1阵型，改打4-4-2。

The personnel changes in the midfield and defense are minimal, with captain Kompany still anchoring the center-back position and leading the entire defense, and the double pivot pairing of Yaya Touré and Gareth Barry remaining unchanged.

Nasri and Milner appeared on the flanks, but they were more active in the center, which is the opposite of Bayern's style of play.

The two forwards are Dzeko and Lin Yi. Lin Yi's position is relatively deeper, mainly operating in the area behind Dzeko. Pellegrini hopes to use the game to help Lin Yi adapt to the more flexible positioning requirements of the new tactics.

With the referee's whistle, the match that would determine whether Manchester City could advance to the Champions League round of 16 officially began.

Manchester City, facing elimination, placed far greater emphasis on the match than their opponents. However, it was Bayern Munich, who were relaxed and about to begin their holiday, who launched the first attack.

Toni Kroos passed the ball from the backfield to Ribery on the left wing. The winger, who started his career at Boulogne in the fourth tier of French football, immediately attracted the attention of Manchester City players as soon as he received the ball.

At his peak, Ribery advanced forward with a low center of gravity and high stride frequency.

Facing a direct challenge from Manchester City's right-back Zabaleta, Ribery suddenly accelerated towards the outside, then cut the ball away, successfully deceiving Zabaleta's center of gravity.

Ribery, who had already created space, did not continue to penetrate the defense, but instead made a wide pass, sending the ball to Robben on the right wing via a long pass.

The Dutchman received the ball at the corner of the penalty area, which is the legendary Robben Corridor.

After receiving the ball, the Black Mamba began his signature inside cut. Lescott, who was prepared, dared not be careless and kept following his opponent's movements.

However, the most unstoppable thing about Robben at his peak was that even though the whole world knew he was going to do it, they just couldn't stop him. If Lescott wasn't careful, Robben would easily slip past him with a sideways step.

Robben, having created space, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, using the inside of his left foot to curl the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Despite Joe Hart's best efforts, he couldn't stop Robben's shot from finding the top corner of the net.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Bayern Munich opened the scoring away from home, pushing Manchester City to the brink of elimination.

The British commentator's tone carried a mixture of anxiety and anticipation: "With two key players absent, who can step up and save Manchester City?"

"This good-for-nothing is most capable when he's bullying me, but where is he when I really need him!" Aguero sat in the stands, so angry that he wished he could take the field himself.

David Silva seemed much calmer: "Sergio, don't rush, give Lin some time. He won't let us down. Have you forgotten how he fulfilled your expectations before you got injured?"

Sheikh Mansour, who was present at the scene, extinguished his cigar, walked to the glass of his private box, and fixed his gaze on Manchester City's number 9, Lin Yi.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Lin Yi received a pass from Yaya Touré.

At this moment, Lin Yi had retreated to the center circle area, nearly 50 meters away from the opponent's goal.

Knowing Lin Yi's technical characteristics well, the Bayern players allowed him to receive the ball in that position without any Bayern defenders around him.

The whole world knows that Lin Yi cannot pose a threat in this area.

However, Lin Yi unexpectedly started moving and dribbled straight towards Bayern's penalty area.
