Manchester City's home win over Barcelona was the focus of discussion across Europe after the game.

If it was just to beat Barcelona, it might not have been able to attract so much attention. But Manchester City beat Barcelona 3-1 at home!

They beat Barcelona by two goals, which is not a small advantage.

The dignified defending champions were beaten like this by Manchester City, who participated in the Champions League for the first time in 40 years, which many people really did not expect.

Barcelona still dominated possession in the game, which is their tradition, but it was a surprise that this dominance did not bring them victory.

Manchester City looked passive in the game, as they were pressed by Barcelona for most of the time and had few counter-attacking opportunities. But Manchester City were more efficient and ended up scoring three goals to beat Barcelona.

Naturally, the English media sang the praises of Manchester City, and at this time they completely forgot how they wanted City to lose in the league......

You know, in the last year, it was very difficult to beat Barcelona, no team in the whole Premier League could do it, the best result was Chelsea, they drew 0-0 with Barcelona at Camp Nou, and drew 1-1 at home, but they were eliminated in the end.

Manchester United lost 0:2 in the Champions League final and had no way to fight back.

Manchester City unexpectedly defeated Barcelona with a score of 3:1, which can't help but make the Premier League just arrived - La Liga wanted to grab the title of the Premier League's first European league, but now your strongest team in La Liga has been beaten 3:1 by our team!

The media in other countries also paid a high attention to the match.

The media praised City's performance and criticized Barcelona's impatience during the game.

“…… This Barcelona team seems to have tasted this for too long and I was impressed by their impatience when they had a hard time in the game...... I don't think last year's six crowns were necessarily a good thing for Barcelona......"

"Since the Champions League was restructured from a Champions League to a Champions League in 1992, no team has been able to successfully defend their title. Pep Guardiola's Barcelona had previously been expected to be the only team to break that fate. But now it seems unlikely that this team will want to defend the title......"

Many people feel that Barcelona lost 1:3 in the first leg, and it will be difficult to turn the tables even if they return to their home stadium.

But the Catalan media doesn't see it that way.

After losing on the road, Le Monde Sports did not bombard the Barcelona team, but said that losing away games was not the end of the world.

“…… Although we lost, it was more important that we had an away goal and this away goal was very crucial. With this away goal, the possibilities at home are endless...... We just need to beat Manchester City 2-0 at our own home stadium, is that hard to do? ”

Finally, Le Monde Sports also issued an appeal and appeal to the vast number of Barcelona fans.

'I think when the whole Manchester City team comes to Camp Nou in midweek, they will be uncomfortable with the frenzied atmosphere at Camp Nou. We're going to welcome them here! Then all the Barcelona fans will come to the stadium and sing our songs, wave your arms and make Camp Nou a hell, a hell for the visitors! ”

Even Barcelona's players don't think they're going to be eliminated for sure.

After returning to Barcelona from Manchester, Messi spoke to reporters at the airport about the issue.

'We're going to knock out Manchester City, the Barcelona fans are our back, and with their support, we have nothing to fear.'

Messi's words were very categorical, and at the same time, his statement also surprised everyone a little, this kind of murderous words are not like Messi said......

He has always given the impression of being shy and low-key and introverted, and he basically does not touch controversial topics, except for football, he seems to be interested in nothing.

Such a man is simply a perfect footballer image, in stark contrast to Cristiano Ronaldo, who likes to cause trouble everywhere.

But this time, Messi made such a sound, which cannot but be surprising.

This is too far from his usual image......

However, after the initial accident, the reaction of the media and fans in Barcelona was one of joy - even someone like Messi can say such things, Messi must be serious, and since he said so, then we can definitely expect him to perform in the game. If Messi gives it his all...... Is there any opponent in the world that can't be beaten?

What about falling behind 1:3? We have Messi!

What is the glory of Manchester City? We have Messi!

When the time comes, I will show you what it means to be the best player in the world!

Let's put an end to the boring debate about who is stronger, Messi or Glory!

※※※

The media and fans are still talking about the Champions League fixtures that have come to an end, and for them, Manchester City's home win over Barcelona is something to discuss.

Glory is naturally also the focus of their discussion, because in the duel with Messi, Rongguang won.

Although Messi scored a goal in the game to help Barcelona take the lead. But then Glory scored twice, and both goals were beautiful, both in terms of the table and the final result, Glory won.

This makes those who support Glory very excited.

Because Rongguang suffered a very serious injury, he fell from the throne of the world No. 1, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have taken turns to sit in recent years, so Rongguang's fans have always had a knot in their hearts - if it weren't for Rongguang's serious injury, the current world No. 1 would not be controversial at all, and it would still be our great glory!

And now, because of an injury, he has missed the Champions League for two years, and he has also lost two years of the world's No. 1 title.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi can become world No. 1.

Now, it's Glory's turn to retrieve what is rightfully his!

The previous defeat of Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid in the Champions League made the fans of Glory very happy, it felt like watching Glory play a game.

Rong Guang took the lead in challenging the world footballer of the year last year and the European Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and defeated him. Then he will challenge Messi, last year's World Footballer of the Year and European Ballon d'Or winner.

Messi is equivalent to the big boss, if he can defeat Messi, he can regain his own glory.

Fans think so.

So whether it's the match between Glory and Cristiano Ronaldo, or Messi, these fans are very excited.

If Glory wins, they are even more excited than Glory.

After Rongguang was seriously injured that year, the mainstream media in Europe was full of doubts about Rongguang, and fans of other stars also continued to sneer at Rongguang, saying that Rongguang, who eats by speed, suffered an ankle injury and was wasted, even if he can return to the green field, he has lost his maximum weapon speed, and he still wants to be the world's No. 1? Wish for the moon!

And now, the fans of Glory are like watching Glory slap back one by one.

However, Rongguang himself is much calmer than his fans.

He didn't even think about "I beat Messi, so I'm the number one in the world".

He probably didn't want to beat Messi, he wanted to beat Barcelona, and beating Barcelona was not because he could become the number one in the world, but because if he lost to Barcelona, he would be eliminated.

On the second day of the competition, Rongguang arrived at the Carrington training base early as usual, and started his special training before everyone came.

It's like there wasn't such a fierce game yesterday.

While everyone is still looking at the past with reluctance, Glory sees the future.

He is not thinking about the second leg of the Champions League next week, but about the weekend's league game, when Manchester City travel to Burnley.

It wasn't a very strong team, but Glory now has the goal of being unbeaten in the league, so he will take any opponent very seriously, and he will never allow this goal to fail because of pride and slackness.

Three days later, on the evening of 3 April, Manchester City took on Burnley away.

Benitez made a big change to the team's starting line-up in this game, and many players who appeared in the Champions League before did not start this game, and some did not even make the squad at all and stayed in Manchester.

Benitez is clearly thinking about the away game against Barcelona, which is of course more important than Burnley. And Burnley is not strong, and there is no need to send all the main forces to fight the opponent in this game, it is a waste of resources.

Anyway, no matter how it rotates, as long as the glory is still on the court. With the glory there, it won't be a problem to take an opponent like Burnley.

Benitez is not superstitious about Glory's ability, thinking that Glory can defeat a team by virtue of his own ability. He is superstitious about the attitude of Glory, he knows very well that Glory will not let up in the face of a team like Burnley, as the captain, he will lead the whole team to face this opponent with a normal mentality, so as to minimize the possibility of capsizing in the gutter.

So it doesn't matter who is in the other positions, as long as the glory is on the pitch.

And in this game, Rongguang still started wearing the captain's armband.
