*Fweeeeee*
The whistle in the mouth of Andris Tremanis who was the referee for the match blasted loudly as he blew into it, signifying the start of the match.
The Manchester City team was the one to kick off the game and it was Aguero who stood over the ball and sent it back into his team's half of the field, the ball rolling towards Ilkay Gundogan who quickly got it under control and sent the ball back towards Riyad Mahrez on the right.
The Porto players immediately rushed at the Manchester City team that was looking to start an attack.
With the Porto players fanning out and blocking any forward passing lanes, Riyad Mahrez didn't have any way to send the ball forward and he quickly opted to send the ball back instead of trying to get through the Porto players by himself.
He didn't have that kind of agility and even if he did, he didn't dare to go against the team's playing style as that was a surefire way for him to get taken off by his manager.
