There's no doubt that Manchester City's control of the game is a step above their opponents.
At this moment, after receiving the ball in midfield, Fernandinho swiftly passed it to Sane without hesitation!
Sane, known for his incredible speed, accelerated past Marcos Alonso in an instant.
While Alonso is fast, Sane's pace is clearly on another level. With a sudden burst of effort, Sane sent in a cross!
This time, he opted for a low-driven cross rather than a high one. The ball zipped across the pitch, reaching the goal area in the blink of an eye.
Gabriel Jesus, waiting in Chelsea's penalty area, moved sharply. He was quick—very quick! Jesus got in front of Gary Cahill to reach the ball first and attempted a challenging right-footed shot.
But just as he made contact, Chelsea's goalkeeper Courtois stepped up to challenge him.
In the end, it was Courtois who prevailed.
With lightning-fast reflexes, he reached out with his left hand, managing to parry the shot perfectly!
The Chelsea fans erupted in applause!
"That was world-class!"
"Incredible, Courtois! Absolutely worthy of being the best goalkeeper in the world!"
Commentator Zhan Jun couldn't help but marvel, "That was a world-class save by Courtois!"
"Although Jesus's shot was quick, Courtois's reaction was even faster!"
Analyst Zhang praised Courtois as well. "Simply fantastic!"
"Courtois might be tall and powerful, but his reflexes are right up there with the best!"
On the sidelines, Chelsea's coach Conte looked less impressed. He wasn't pleased with his team's recent performance.
In his view, Chelsea's offense was failing to put any real pressure on Manchester City.
So Conte began shouting instructions to his midfielders, demanding that his players step up and put more pressure on their opponents!
Naturally, in this Chelsea lineup, the one to direct the midfield is Cesc Fabregas.
Soon after, Fabregas received the ball and, without hesitation, played a beautiful through ball.
In an instant, the ball was at Hazard's feet!
Fabregas's pass was superb, threading it through Manchester City's defense to reach Hazard under heavy pressure from defenders.
As Hazard received the ball, his natural talent came alive.
Though he's been recovering from injury, whenever Hazard is on the field, he poses a serious threat to the opposition.
With his right foot, Hazard controlled the ball and began his advance!
With three quick, skillful moves, he easily danced past De Bruyne, changing his pace to slip through the City defense.
Just like that, Hazard was a danger in the City box once again.
