Chapter 1188 The Battle for the Champions League Golden Boot
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Manchester City was not in a hurry to attack, they played a defensive counterattack.

Anyway, it is Manchester United who are eager to score goals now, not them.

Manchester United is really in a hurry, trailing 4:1 on aggregate, still three goals behind, and Manchester City has an away goal, which means that Manchester United must score four goals in the second half, otherwise they will be eliminated.

This is an almost impossible task.

But after Ferguson's roar at halftime, the Manchester United players still mustered up their courage and fighting spirit, and launched a fierce offensive against Manchester City's goal in the second half.

At the same time, the Manchester United fans in the stands also cheered for their team with almost crazy singing.

Being eliminated from the Champions League by rivals in the same city, Manchester United fans will never accept such a thing!

But the reality is cruel, and they don't care whether Manchester United fans accept it or not.

In the second half, Manchester City continued to play their defensive counterattack.Although Manchester United got some opportunities, they were all wasted by them because of their impatience.

The camera was shown on Ferguson's face on the coach's bench many times, and the frequency of Ferguson's chewing gum was getting faster and faster. From this, it can be seen how nervous and anxious he is inside.

This is too cruel for a person who has undergone heart bypass surgery...

The telecast even captured a close-up.

That was Ferguson's hand.

When he looked at the pitch, his mouth kept chewing gum, but the camera shot did not show Ferguson's face, but suddenly cut to Ferguson's hand.

You can see Ferguson's hands clenched into fists on his lap, shaking...!
This action made many Manchester United fans feel sad.

The old coach has led Manchester United across the Premier League for almost 20 years, and has won countless championships. What storms have you never seen before?
But now, it seems that it is really time for him to pass...

The Chinese commentator He Ping, who was explaining the game, was also very emotional: "Since ancient times, a hero is like a beauty, and the world is not allowed to see a white head... When Ferguson led Manchester United to dominate English football, how many people would have thought that one day, they would also be able to see such a powerless scene of the old coach? I think if Ferguson could choose to broadcast the screen, he would definitely not want people to see this scene..."

※※※

The scene of Ferguson shaking his hands may make Manchester City fans feel sympathetic when they see it.

But Manchester City players are playing, they can't see the close-ups on the live broadcast.

Manchester City players still fulfilled the task assigned to them by Benitez on the court-defensive counterattack.

With the passage of time, the hearts of Manchester City players are now relaxed.

They all know that the balance of victory has completely tilted to their side, and there is not much time left for Manchester United.

"Time is running out, Manchester United still can't overcome Manchester City's goal... We can already confirm that the first team to enter the Champions League final will be Manchester City!"

Five minutes after John Mortensen finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Manchester City's substitutes rushed onto the pitch to celebrate their progress to the final at Old Trafford!

"The game is over! Manchester City has entered the Champions League final for the first time in history! Congratulations to them! They are the first team to enter Wembley! At that time, I think Wembley will become the home of Manchester City!"

Because it was an away game, the cheers after the game were not loud, but there were a lot of boos - of course, unlike the Bernabeu, the boos were not given to the eliminated Manchester United players, but to Manchester City from Manchester United fans.

Manchester United fans were upset to see City celebrating in their own right.

The Manchester City players also felt the hostility from the United supporters, but they did not rush to end the celebration and return to the visiting team's dressing room.

Instead, they continued to celebrate on the pitch and waved to the Manchester City fans who came to support them away.

They didn't return to the locker room until the thanks were over.

With the door closed, most of the hustle and bustle outside was blocked outside the door.

The Manchester City players were quite excited about reaching the Champions League final. Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Under such circumstances, Rong Guang suddenly walked to the center of the locker room, and said to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

Seeing this, the players all quieted down and turned to look at Rong Guang, wanting to hear what their captain had to say.

"We've reached the Champions League final, but I still don't think it's time to celebrate. So please forgive me for throwing cold water at this time - if we end up losing to the opponent in the final, then our celebration now becomes a joke."

The teammates listened quietly to their captain, no one questioned this - why do other teams celebrate for a long time when they can reach the Champions League final, and our celebration becomes a joke?
It's not that they hide their inner doubts, but because they don't think there is anything to doubt about it.

They already knew Captain Rongguang very well.

Everyone is familiar with Rongguang's consistent high standards and strict requirements.

Such words coming from Rong Guang's mouth are not against harmony at all.In Rongguang's view, reaching the final but not winning the championship is a complete failure, even worse than being eliminated in the group stage.Because according to his philosophy, since he entered the final, he must have come to win the championship. Why not win the championship and enter the final?Is the runner-up worthy of the hard work and sweat that went into the final?
"So, if we want to celebrate, we will celebrate after we win the Champions League, which is the first Champions League in Manchester City's history!"

While the Manchester City fans were still happy about their historic entry into the Champions League final and were too excited to fall asleep, the Manchester City players had calmed down and started preparing for the next final battle.

※※※

Another Champions League semi-final came to an end the next night.

Back at home, Barcelona defeated Schalke 4 1:04.

In the end, they eliminated Schalke 6 with a score of 1:04 and entered the final.

However, Barcelona's elimination of Schalke 04 is not a big deal. After the first round, everyone believed that Barcelona would definitely advance to the final.

Now it just confirms everyone's judgment.

The thing that really got everyone interested was Messi.

Just when the European media and fans around the world began to debate whether Glory is stronger or Messi is stronger.Messi answered the world with a hat-trick.

Combined with the previous brace, Messi has scored five goals in the semi-finals.

And he has scored [-] goals in the UEFA Champions League this season!
This figure is that he surpassed the glory of scoring 1 goals and became No.[-] in the Champions League scorer list.

At the same time, this number is also Messi's most goals in a single season since he participated in the Champions League.

Of course, if there is no glory, Messi will also tie the record for the most goals scored in a single season in the history of the Champions League-the record of [-] goals by former AC Milan striker Altafini.

Unfortunately, this record has long since passed away.In the 2006-2007 season when Bayern Munich won the UEFA Champions League, Rongguang scored [-] goals in all [-] UEFA Champions League games.Raised Altafini's record by a hat-trick in one go...

Unless Messi scores a hat-trick in the Champions League final, he won't even be able to tie the glorious record.

Even if you want to reach No. 2 in the UEFA Champions League single-season scoring rankings, No. 2 is still an honor-fifteen goals.

In fact, the media didn't pay much attention to whether Messi can break Rongguang's scoring record in a single season. The hope of this is too slim...

Everyone is more concerned about who can win the top scorer of the Champions League this season between Messi and Rongguang.

This is the most realistic and eye-catching question, second only to Manchester City and Barcelona who can win the Champions League.

Because since Rongguang participated in the UEFA Champions League, as long as he participated, he is the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League and has never missed a shot.

Even in the 2007-2008 season when he was seriously injured and missed half of the season, he also became the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League that season because of nine goals in the group stage. The top scorer in the Manchester United team that won the championship was Cristiano Ronaldo.

He later moved to Manchester City and did not participate in the Champions League in the first season. Messi was the top scorer in the Champions League that season.

That season, Messi and Barcelona won the Champions League together. Messi scored nine goals in the Champions League and won the top scorer.

At that time, the media joked that after the glory was gone, everyone was a little unaccustomed to the fact that the top scorer in the Champions League scored only single digits...

Last season, Rongguang returned to the Champions League with Manchester City. Although Manchester City eventually fell in the semi-finals, Rongguang regained the top scorer of the Champions League again.His number of goals is a staggering fifteen!
Only two goals away from his record.

Later, everyone thought that if Manchester City finally made it to the final, Rong Guang would at least be able to equal his own record of [-] goals, and maybe create a new record.

As long as they are honored to participate in the UEFA Champions League, they can be the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League.

It's not even possible for someone to get close to him.

In the 2007-2008 season, if Rongguang was not seriously injured and missed all the Champions League knockout games, Cristiano Ronaldo's eight goals would never have caught up with Rongguang.

Now, there is finally someone who can overtake Glory in the Champions League scorer list!

So will Rongguang lose the glorious tradition of "As long as he participates in the Champions League, he must be the top scorer"?
The duel between two superstars will finally be judged in this most intuitive way, and it is really something to look forward to.

And maybe the duel between these two players will eventually determine who is the champion of this season's Champions League.

Their outstanding performance will make their respective teams enthroned the most dazzling jewel in the crown!
