Munich Allianz Arena There was a burst of booing.
In Manchester City's penalty area, two players fell to the ground at the same time.
Li Mingyu stood beside the two of them, and suddenly saw bright red blood flowing out from between Laporte's hands, and his expression suddenly changed.
Li Mingyu made a gesture towards the sidelines to ask the team doctor to come on quickly.
Manchester City's team doctor rushed over with his own medical kit.
Bayern Munich The player who fell to the ground was the high center forward Ai Rick-Choupo-Moting who had just been replaced.
Choupo-Moting hugged his head on the ground and kept moaning.
The referee also waved to Bayern Munich's bench and asked their team doctor to come up and take care of it.
The slow motion shows that this ball, Laporte, has been stuck in his position, heading the ball away from the cross.
Choupo-Moting was behind Laporte and hit the side of Laporte's head hard. When it landed, you could see blood splattering on Laporte's head in slow motion.
Laporte, who fell to the ground, did not move at all. However, he could still move while holding his head, which made Li Mingyu standing aside not too worried.
The team doctor came up and first checked the injured position of Laporte. There was a cut on the side of the temple, and blood was flowing out from the wound.
Li Mingyu stood aside and said worriedly, "Aimee Rick, how do you feel? If it doesn't work, let's replace it with someone else?"
The team doctor also meant that someone needed to be replaced immediately, and Laporte's wound had to be sutured.
However, Laporte gritted his teeth, resisted the dizziness after being hit, and said firmly, "No, help me bandage the wound. I can't end at this time!"
Manchester City's defense line is very short of central defenders. Laporte is an indispensable and important defensive player. If he is replaced, the strength of Manchester City's defense line will be reduced by about half.
The team doctor did not dare to make a decision, so he could only send his assistant to ask Guardiola for instructions.
Guardiola on the sidelines carefully inquired about Laporte's symptoms, pondered for a while, and made a difficult decision to keep Laporte on the court. However, if he found any discomfort, he would replace Laporte immediately.
The team doctor immediately treated Laporte's wound, wrapped his wound tightly with a bandage, and wrapped the bandage around Laporte's head.
Laporte's strength made the fans of the home team involuntarily applaud.
This is the charm of football. At this moment, there is no home team or visiting team. Iron-blooded players will always make the fans excited.
Since Laporte's jersey was stained a lot with blood, the assistant coach quickly returned to the lounge and took out a brand new jersey for him to put on.
Laporte stood on the sidelines, drinking water constantly. The impact just now made him feel a little dizzy, but it was not to the point of concussion.
At this time, the referee took out a topaz War God card and showed it to the innocent-looking Choupo-Moting.
Because of his action just now, it was obvious that Laporte had blocked his position. He hit Laporte's head from behind, which was an obvious foul action.
Laporte returned to the court, like a determined Spartan warrior, with a bloodshot bandage on his head, still standing in the most important position of the team.
Faced with this situation, Li Mingyu directed Rodri to move slightly back, closer to Laporte's position, and he also retreated further, ready to defend at all times.
In Manchester City's frontcourt, only Sterling was left standing near the center circle, preparing to use his speed to shock the Bayern Munich team's defense.
Sure enough, with the presence of Sterling, Bayern Munich's two central defenders did not dare to press too far forward, and had to guard against Manchester City's sudden and quick counterattack.
Ten minutes have passed, and the time has reached eighty-five minutes, but the score between the two sides has not changed at all.
The score of 2:3, as Manchester City is playing away from home, this score couldn't be better.
However, the Bayern Munich team playing at home could never accept such an ending.
Inside Munich Allianz Arena, the fans of Bayern Munich began to encourage the players of the home team loudly, hoping that they could equalize the score at the last moment, or even go ahead.
However, Parking the Bus from Manchester City is simply a torture for Team Bayern Munich.
There is no other way but to frequently raise the ball, hoping to get a chance with the headers of several tall players.
Laporte Although his head was wrapped with a bandage and his head was still a little dizzy, at this time, he was still very strong and jumped up to fight for the header.
In the 90th minute, the referee blew the whistle after a dead ball.
Team Bayern Munich, who was about to throw the foul ball, expressed great dissatisfaction.
But the referee pointed to his watch and said that he would make up the time for you.
Because the bandage on Laporte's head has been dyed red again, and the blood from the back of his neck has dyed the jersey on his back red.
But Laporte didn't react at all, and was still following the Bayern Munich player tenaciously, defending hard.
When he heard the whistle, Laporte saw the referee's gesture pointing at him. It was strange. He had no idea that his blood had soaked the bandage and soaked his jersey.
Without any hesitation, Guardiola directly asked Portugal, the defender, Cancelo to replace Laporte.
Laporte, who was holding on on the field with just one breath, saw the substitution sign raised, and suddenly felt dizzy in front of his eyes.
Li Mingyu was beside him, and she quickly supported him and put his arm around her neck. She didn't care at all that Laporte's blood had stained her body.
"Aimee Rick, don't worry, go down and have a good rest. We will definitely win this game."
Li Mingyu said firmly in Laporte's ear.
For such a tough player, Bayern Munich's players are also in awe. Many players said blessings to Laporte when passing by.
Although the game may be lost, the style cannot be lost.
After Laporte came off the field, he refused the head coach's decision to go back to the locker room to treat his injury and stayed on the bench. He wanted to watch the game end and ensure that his comeback in this game was useful.
The Manchester City players on the field were inspired by the spirit of Laporte, and they worked even harder when defending.
The appearance of several new players made Manchester City's backcourt defense more dynamic.
The injury time was as long as seven minutes. The injury in the second half delayed a bit too much time.
Although the Manchester City players were a little dissatisfied, they were still determined. All players retreated to the thirty-meter area and set up a bus in front of the goal.
For a team of Manchester City's level, if he lowers his profile and shows up, few teams will be able to penetrate his defense.
Bayern Munich tried for another five minutes, but with continuous high balls, the Bayern Munich players in the penalty area could not take any advantage. Li Mingyu's aerial control ability was outrageous.
Several times, Li Mingyu stood in a dangerous position, with Choupo-Moting behind him. As long as he missed the ball, Choupo-Moting could easily head the ball in.
This kind of ability to block positions, which is like cheating, makes the players of Bayern Munich a little angry.
In the last minute, Choupo-Moting was once again in a powerful position by Li Mingyu. As a result, he became angry and pushed Li Mingyu when he took off. As a result, he got the second topaz card War God and was ejected directly from the field by the referee.
In the end, the game ended with a score of 2:3. Bayern Munich, playing at home, had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat, casting a shadow over their path to the knockout rounds.
This season, Manchester City has not lost a game at home, so for the Bayern Munich team, the next game will be a hellish away game.
Manchester City has a huge advantage. If Bayern Munich team wants to advance to the semi-finals, it must score two goals at Manchester City's home court, and it must also ensure that Manchester City does not score.
The Manchester City players walked out with their heads held high Munich Allianz Arena.
After the game, Laporte's injury was announced immediately. He had a slight concussion, but it did not affect the next quarter-finals.
This is very good news for Manchester City.
Laporte is the backbone of Manchester City's defense. If he is injured and unable to play, then Manchester City's next game will be in danger.
However, after this game, there were two consecutive league games, one against a team in the relegation zone, Crystal Palace.
The other game is against the Manchester United team, which is third in the league.
In the game against the Crystal Palace, Laporte didn't even make the roster. In this game, Laporte had a rest.
Guardiola brought the other main players to Selhurst Park, the home ground of the Crystal Palace located at London.
Crystal Palace, as the veteran team of Premier League, does not have many honors.
They only won the runner-up FA Cup once in the 1989-1990 season.
However, Crystal Palace is not a weak team. Crystal Palace, which is often in the middle of Premier League, often overturns some strong Premier League teams.
However, Manchester City is still very confident when facing Crystal Palace.
Since 1990, when Manchester City faced Crystal Palace, it was only in 2018 that Crystal Palace defeated Crystal Palace 3:2. In other games, Manchester City remained undefeated.
Especially in the past three years, when facing Crystal Palace, Manchester City has basically won by a big score.
In the first match between the two teams in the first half of the year, Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 6:2 at their home court. Li Mingyu completed a hat trick and sent an assist in that game.
Spain's striker cannot be praised enough. He must have retired!
