Before the match, their head coach showed them a lot of Manchester City's games, urging them to focus on guarding against City's passing and possession style, trying to use solid positioning and active running to disrupt City's passing routes.
But who could have predicted that opening long pass?
They never expected such a long pass, which seemed common in the Scottish league, to carry such immense power when employed by Manchester City, culminating in an extraordinary goal worthy of the Puskás Award, delivered by the finisher Tang Long!
