Game Of The Year
shock. Madness. madness. Tottenham is in the semi-finals of the Champions League on Manchester City back after a huge appearance in the history of football. The roosters lost 4: 3 in the match, but climbed 4: 4 in the final. Sterling's goal was disqualified in the 93rd minute due to an offside. Puccini and his players against Ajax. Pep would no longer win the Quadropel.
Barcelona's 6:1 on Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool's comeback against Milan in the 2005 Champions League final and Manchester United's 2-1 in 1999. There are few games that are written in the History of World Football and you can say with certainty that what happened in Etihad fits the definition. Tottenham lost 4: 3 to Manchester City in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but qualified for half the first time in their history thanks to a preference for foreign exchange, after one of the craziest games that this factory provided us. She will meet Ajax in the Cinderella battle for the right to face Barcelona or Liverpool for the title.
So what did we have in this game? Everything. It will start with a crazy celebration of five goals in 21 minutes, two VAR decisions that changed the game and two teams that had already celebrated it several times during the game. In the end, Pep Guardiola once again disappointed and missed an opportunity to get four titles in one season.
City began the game with intense energy to erase the 1-0 from London and the madness began after four minutes, thanks to their hottest player of the year: Rahim Sterling. Kevin De Bruyne provided an impressive pass to the right of the center and found the connection entirely alone and from there the road to the goal was very short.
If there is something that characterizes the Mauritanian Puccini's Tottenham is a character and much of it. It was only three minutes before City could celebrate the advantage and the chickens responded with a crazy turnaround in three more minutes. Della Ali put the ball into the area, which hit Amric Leporte, Jung Min Son took over and kicked a flat and inside. In the tenth minute, it was the Korean who silenced the one with a kick from the corner of the net to Aderson's top net.
If you thought that was what got City down, you were wrong. Another minute had passed since Son's second goal and the England champion's response came with another brilliant attack that ended with a shot by Bernardo Silva, who hit Danny Rose, misled Hugo Loris and entered. Ten more minutes went by and the blue ones were again in the lead: De Bruyne with another big width straight to Sterling, who ended with a touch and bounced the crowd again. Five goals in 21 minutes, the all-time record for the Champions League game at this time. Do you follow ?
The 2: 3 really was not enough for City to go up and she worked very hard to find the fourth, which would make her semi-finals. In the 59th minute, she managed to do it again when De De Bruyne, who provided another defensive cut to Aguero, shot up close and raised the blue fans again.
On the character of Tottenham, we talked and in the 73rd minute, he came in the most powerful way she could imagine. Kieran Treefair's horn found the replacement Fernando Yorenta, who hit the ball with the hip and put it inside. The judge thought it was a hand gesture, but after a quick check at VAR, he confirmed it and opened the signal for the chickens' festivities. It was the first goal of the Basque striker, who had been off the bench only because of Musa Sisuku's injury in the Champions League since December 2017, and how important he was
The End? Definitely not. City sent all the offensive tools to the court and three minutes inside the extra time Sterling managed to shake the net for the third time, teasing the blue fans and also the Pep celebrating the lines, but again the VAR intervened. A quick check showed that Aguero, who provided the goal, was on the offside, the goal was disqualified and the England champion found herself at home.
A day after Ajax stunned Juventus, Tottenham was also sealed for its own sensation and celebrated all the way to the half in which to meet the Dutch. According to the ability the two have shown so far, it seems that we are expected to have two more crazy nights. City will concentrate on the two remaining factories and especially against Liverpool for the second consecutive British championship.
