In the 35th minute, Paris Saint-Germain threatened Manchester City's goal again with a quick pass.

After receiving the ball in the midfield, Rabiot quickly passed the ball to Maxwell on the left.

Maxwell dribbled forward and sent a precise cross, the ball went straight to Cavani in the penalty area.

Cavani was ready to head the ball in the penalty area, but Mangala once again showed his excellent defensive ability.

He jumped high, overpowered Cavani, and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Otamendi quickly filled the position and cleared the ball to the midfield, relieving Manchester City's defensive pressure.

In the 40th minute, Manchester City launched another attack. Li Lei received a pass from Sagna on the right and broke through quickly.

He sent a cross from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball flew to the center of the penalty area.

Aguero met the ball in the middle and shot, but the ball was blocked by Marquinhos with his body.

The ball bounced to the outside of the penalty area, and De Bruyne quickly met the ball and shot from a distance, but the ball slightly missed the post, and Manchester City missed a great chance to score.

When the first half of the game ended, the players returned to the locker room, and Gao Yi's live broadcast in the live broadcast room continued.

"Manchester City's defense was very solid in the first half, and Otamendi and Mangala's outstanding performance repeatedly blocked Paris Saint-Germain's offense."

"We saw that Manchester City's defense was very organized, and the players showed a high level of defensive awareness and fighting spirit on the court."

"However, Manchester City's offense in the first half was very active, especially Li Lei and De Bruyne's performance was very eye-catching."

"Although they haven't scored yet, they have threatened Paris' goal many times."

"We look forward to Manchester City continuing this offensive momentum in the second half and striving to score as soon as possible."

Fans also praised Manchester City's defense in the barrage.

"Otamendi and Mangala's defense is so awesome!"

"Joe Hart had almost no chance to perform, the defense is really solid!"

"Manchester City's defense was very good today, I hope we can score in the second half!"

"Li Lei's performance was great, I hope we can score in the second half!"

"De Bruyne and Silva's cooperation is so tacit!"

"Come on Manchester City, we believe in you!"

After the first half, Manchester City's players walked back to the locker room. Although they created several threatening opportunities in offense, the score was still 0-0.

The players sat on the chairs, drank water, wiped sweat, and took a short break.

Guardiola stood in front of the tactical board and clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the players.

"Hey! Young men, you can't play like the old people on the opposite side. You are still young, show your passion."

Guardiola used humor to mobilize the players' emotions at the beginning, and then he continued: "We performed well in the first half and created several good opportunities, but we need to be more efficient."

"Although Paris Saint-Germain's defense has top players such as Thiago Silva and Marquinhos, their age advantage is not on our side."

He said, and drew on the board with a tactical pen: "Thiago Silva and Maxwell, their age and physical fitness are our breakthrough points."

"Especially Maxwell, he seemed a little struggling when facing speed players."

At this time, Guardiola looked at Li Lei and said: "Li, you performed very well on the right."

"Continue to use your speed and flexibility in the second half to continuously attack Mark Swell. "

"Remember, don't give him a chance to breathe." His expression became fierce when he said this.

Then he turned to De Bruyne and David Silva: "Kevin, David, your task is to control the midfield and use fast passes and position changes to tear open their defense."

"De Bruyne, you need to move more to the right to provide support for Li Lei."

Then he pointed to Aguero and said: "Sergio, you need to run more actively, take advantage of the gap between their central defenders, and quickly turn and shoot after receiving the pass."

"Remember, their defense will appear a little flustered when facing a quick counterattack."

"We need to speed up the pace and take advantage of their weakness of declining physical strength."

"Keep high pressure and don't give them the opportunity to organize an attack calmly."

"Our goal is to break the deadlock and win this game!"

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Manchester City's players quickly got into the state and launched an attack according to Guardiola's tactical deployment.

In the 50th minute of the game, Manchester City created a threat through a quick pass.

After Fernandinho intercepted the ball in the midfield, he quickly passed the ball to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne dribbled forward and passed the ball to Li Lei who quickly inserted on the right.

LiLei used his speed to break through Maxwell's defense on the right and quickly advanced to the edge of the penalty area.

He saw Aguero in the middle and immediately sent a low cross.

Aguero received the ball in the penalty area and quickly turned and shot, but the ball was saved by Trapp.

"Manchester City's attack is very threatening. Li Lei's breakthrough on the right once again showed his speed and skills, but it was a pity that Aguero's shot was saved by Trapp."

In the 60th minute, Manchester City once again threatened Paris' defense with a fast-paced attack.

De Bruyne took the ball in the midfield and passed it to Silva on the left.

Silva advanced with the ball, faced the defensive player, and passed the ball back to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne saw that Li Lei on the right was unguarded and quickly sent a long diagonal pass.

After Li Lei received the ball, he quickly cut inside. Facing Thiago Silva's defense, he chose a low shot, and the ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.

In the 66th minute, Manchester City finally broke the deadlock.

After Fernandinho intercepted the ball in the midfield, he passed it to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne advanced with the ball and passed it to Li Lei who was on the right.

Li Lei used his speed to break through Maxwell and dribbled into the penalty area.

Facing goalkeeper Trapp, Li Lei calmly shot the ball and it went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Although Trapp made a save, the ball went into the net accurately.

Manchester City led 1-0!
