The biggest upset in the Club World Cup was born! The Asian Galaxy battleship overturned Manchester City, it turns out that what Ronaldo said is true

The Club World Cup knockout round continues, and Manchester City, the favorite to win the championship, ushered in the Riyadh crescent, nicknamed "Asian Galaxy Battleship". However, what all fans did not expect was that this seemingly disparity in strength unexpectedly revealed the biggest upset of this Club World Cup, and Manchester City was actually eliminated by Riyadh Crescent!

As the only team to win the group stage in this Club World Cup, Manchester City naturally became the biggest favorite to win the championship, and their knockout opponent is the Asian team Riyadh Crescent, which seems to be not too strong. Although Saudi giants have a number of big-name foreign players, compared with Manchester City, they are much inferior in terms of paper strength and star quality. Therefore, countless fans believe that Manchester City should easily pass the level and enter the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup!

In the first half, Manchester City firmly controlled the situation on the court. In the 9th minute, Aitnuri and his teammates played two passes and one and then entered the penalty area. Although his cross was blocked, the ball accidentally bounced back to the foot of B's ​​feet. The latter easily scored, helping Manchester City break the deadlock first and gained a 1-0 lead! In the subsequent games, Manchester City created several more opportunities to score, but they were saved by Riyadh Crescent goalkeeper Bunu, and they could only return to the locker room with a 1-goal advantage.

The change of sides and the situation changed suddenly. First, in the 46th minute, Riyadh crescent striker Leonardo headed the ball in the melee to help the team equalize the score. Then Malcolm used his personal ability to complete a single-mile goal. In a short period of time, Riyadh crescent incredibly reversed the score to 2-1! However, in the 55th minute, Manchester City took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to complete the goal by Haaland, bringing the two teams back to the same starting line. Although both sides have created some opportunities since then, neither of them has really rewrite the score, and the game has been dragged for 30 minutes of overtime.

One time the overtime game came, Riyadh Crescent took the lead. In the 94th minute, Kulibali received a corner kick from his teammate and scored 3-2! Saudi giants surpassed the score for the second time! In the 104th minute, Manchester City scored a goal from a substitute, Foden, who was shot from a small angle, and once again helped the team equalize the score. As the game time passed by little by little, just when everyone thought that the exciting penalty shootout was coming, Riyadh Crescent launched another fatal offensive. Although Milinkovic's header in the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper, Leonardo, who was unguarded, easily sent the ball into the empty goal, 4-3! Riyadh Crescent incredibly eliminated Manchester City, making it to the quarterfinals in an upset, creating the biggest upset in this tournament!

In an interview earlier, Ronaldo publicly stated that the Saudi League is the fifth largest league in the world, and their competitive level is no less than that of the mainstream league in Europe. However, fans had always complained about his words at that time. Now, with Riyadh's crescent elimination of Manchester City, Ronaldo has also been "rehabilitated". You should know that this Riyadh Crescent only won the runner-up in the Saudi League last season. At least three teams with similar strength include Jeddah United, Riyadh Victory and Jeddah Nationals. No matter which of them is picked out, they have the strength to challenge the European team!

In the next quarter-finals, Riyadh Crescent will have a head-on conversation with another team that was upset to the quarter-finals, Fruminense. I wonder which team can have the last laugh in this "dark horse battle"?
