Securing First Place in the Group Early! Lionel Messi Exclaims: "Scots Can't Beat Chinese!"

Like Dembele, who equalized for Celtic, Bonazzoli wanted to celebrate with a dramatic shirt-off celebration!

In his extreme excitement, he yanked at his jersey with both hands, but the jersey seemed to be playing a little joke on him, as the arms of the jersey somehow got tightly wrapped around it.

His face flushed red as he struggled desperately, but the jersey seemed to be deliberately defying him; he couldn't get it off even halfway, leaving him in a rather embarrassing state.

Ranocchia ran over, trying to pull his jersey back, "Silly boy, don't get a yellow card for nothing!"

Tang Long stepped forward, swung his hand, and ripped off Bonazzoli's clothes, throwing them into the air.

"Make him take it off!"

In the last round, Bonazzoli was extremely anxious due to his mother's critical condition and unfortunately missed the team's home game against Monchengladbach.

During that time, his heart was filled with worry and guilt.

When he learned in advance that he would be starting this away game, he secretly made a promise to his mother that he would definitely score a goal.

And now, he has finally done it!

Tang Long understood the repression in this young man's heart all too well. From his anxiety when he learned of his mother's illness, to his disappointment when he missed the game, and now to his ecstasy after scoring the goal, since he wanted to take his clothes off, let him take them off!

Bonazzoli excitedly picked Tang Long up and, shirtless, rammed his head against Tang Long's chest.

This tall center-back unleashed his passion with such a violent celebration!

With that goal, the situation instantly became clear. Lionel Messi sat on the sofa, gave a slight wry smile, and slowly said, "Alright, the game is over." His voice carried a hint of helplessness and certainty.

Although Suarez and Neymar were also stunned by Tang Long's brilliant feint pass, and even thought that if Lionel Messi were in that position, he might not be able to make such a Tang Long pass, they felt that the game was already decided. However, they still held a sliver of hope.

Neymar's eyes revealed a hint of resentment as he muttered, "There's still time in the game, Celtic might still have a chance."

But just as Lionel Messi predicted, Celtic's mentality became problematic.

After finally leveling the score and going through countless hardships to get back to the same starting line, they were overtaken, and many people's mentality collapsed.

In the remaining seven or eight minutes, they were no longer able to hold their ground as steadily as before.

"What are we defending for? Let's attack and fight them!" Someone shouted, seemingly igniting a fire of anger within them. The Celtic players charged out without hesitation.

Rodgers shouted from the sidelines, but found he was out of control and no one was listening to him.

Slap! Slap!

Manchester City's response was to slap them twice more.

Once an opening is exposed, Manchester City, with its technically gifted midfield, becomes the perfect stage to dominate their opponents.

Thiago redeemed himself by delivering a through ball to Tang Long, who chipped the ball into the net.

3 to 1!

Two minutes later, Navas delivered a beautiful cutback cross from the wing, the ball finding its perfect spot inside the penalty area.

Bonazzoli cleverly let the ball slip past him, Sane, with quick reflexes, pushed it forward without stopping it. The ball passed between the center-back and the full-back, flying rapidly towards the goal.

Tang Long appeared like a pale blue lightning bolt, crossed the goal, and delivered the ball perfectly to Robertson had made a run into the box!

Robertson didn't hesitate, he slid in and shot, the ball grazed into the empty net!

4 to 1!

Manchester City scored three goals in seven minutes, completely sealing the victory!

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, Neymar took off his Celtic jersey, threw it on the ground, and spat, "What a bunch of rubbish, playing terribly!" His voice was full of disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Suarez gave Lionel Messi a resentful look and complained, "I knew it! I knew the Scotland couldn't beat the England, Leo. If I'd known this would happen, I shouldn't have come to your house to watch the game. Now look what's happened, group winners are gone!"

Lionel Messi stroked his beard and sighed, "I don't know if the Scotland can beat the England, but they definitely can't beat the China. Let's prepare well for tomorrow's match against Monchengladbach. It seems that second place in the group isn't so secure after all."

Two goals and two assists! His name echoes in the skies above Celtic Park!

Manchester City have secured first place in their group with five wins out of five!

No comeback, no miracle, Celtic bid farewell to European competition!

<A 34-meter long-range shot showcases the ultimate in violent aesthetics, with a ball speed reaching 151 km/h!>

Bonazzoli cried after the match, "Thank you for Don's assist; without him, I couldn't have kept my promise to my mother!"

At the post-match press conference, when Tang Long was interviewed by the media, he was asked whether his long-range shot was a pre-match tactic specifically devised by Guardiola.

Guardiola, sitting next to him, also felt a pang of anxiety.

He thought to himself, "What tactical arrangements? I only mentioned it briefly during pre-match training. However, the long-range shooting assignments I gave were for Gündoğan and Thiago; I didn't tell Don about it."

Guardiola scratched his head. If it were any other time, he would have chimed in, saying, "Yes, it was designed specifically for Tang Long. He had anticipated that Celtic would tighten their defense and even guessed their five-man backline, so he specifically instructed Tang Long to shoot from outside the box."

However, as a grandmaster, with Tang Long sitting right next to him at the post-match press conference, Guardiola, no matter how thick-skinned, couldn't bring himself to say it.

Tang Long noticed Guardiola's embarrassment, smiled slightly, and said:

"That's right, this was definitely part of our head coach's plan. He told me that if I dropped back into midfield, I would have opportunities to shoot from long range! This victory is inseparable from Mr. Guardiola's strategic planning!"

These words were met with a round of applause!

The local England media, who had traveled a long way to Scotland to cover the event, praised Guardiola's brilliant tactical decisions.

Breaking down a tight defense has always been a difficult problem in football.

But Manchester City showed the world their strength today: you can defend against our short passing penetrations, but you can't defend against our long-range shots!

Upon hearing this, Guardiola stared blankly at Tang Long, completely unprepared for his response.

That's giving yourself way too much face!

Faced with the admiring glances from reporters, Guardiola was quite embarrassed, but he also chuckled and simply said:

"Of course I know that long-range shots are a magic weapon to break through a dense defense. However, for a player like Tang, I don't need to give him any special instructions before the game. When the ball is at his feet, he will always make the most reasonable choice. He is not only the player I trust the most, but also the teammate that the other players trust the most. After all, no matter how good the tactics are, the players still need to put them into practice."

After Guardiola finished speaking, he turned to look at Tang Long, and the two exchanged a knowing smile.

Manchester City became the first England team to secure first place in their UEFA Champions League group, which already ignited a sense of pride among the England journalists, especially since they had defeated the northern Scotland.

In this pleasant atmosphere, Guardiola's ambiguous answer was interpreted by reporters as a humble statement, and they all lowered their heads and typed away in their notebooks, promptly sending out their reports.

Guardiola's tactical genius, his long-range shooting tactics are the key to victory!

The humble Guardiola possesses a subtle, Eastern charm!

How many more hidden secret weapons does Guardiola possess?

Guardiola's wisdom is unmatched in the UEFA Champions League!
