Chapter 347

On May 5, Manchester United played away to Brighton & Hove.

Brighton & Hove have only been promoted to the Premier League this season. They currently rank No.15 in the Premier League and are only four points away from No.18 Stoke City, so they are still in danger of relegation. They will definitely go all out in this game.

However, the gap between them and Manchester United is still too large. Although they did not admit defeat mentally, their skills under their feet were sieved by Manchester United.

After nine 10 minutes, Manchester United easily defeated them [-]-[-].

People are no longer surprised by Manchester United's big victory now.

Since the last two league rounds are generally played at the same time, after Manchester United's game, all the Premier League games in this round are basically over, and Manchester City on the other side was tied away by the relegation team Southampton.

In this way, Manchester United is already three points ahead of Manchester City, and Manchester United's goal difference is seven more than Manchester City, so the league championship has basically been locked.

As long as Manchester United does not lose in the next game, they will win the championship. Even if they lose, as long as Manchester United loses by a small score and Manchester City does not win by a large score, Manchester United can still win the championship by goal difference.

Of course, if the goal difference is the same in the end, Manchester United will rank second, because they have scored and conceded a little less than Manchester City this season.

In the Premier League, the first thing to look at is the points. If the points are the same, look at the goal difference; if the goal difference is the same, then look at the number of goals;

Now that there is no problem in the league, Manchester United can focus all their energy on the Champions League and the FA Cup. Fortunately, these two competitions have also come to an end, and there have been no injuries in the Manchester United team along the way.

……

On May 5, the Champions League semi-final second leg.

The second round is the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham.

At the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain did not give Tottenham any chance and defeated their opponents [-]-[-] at home.

In this game, although Tottenham made some responses to Paris Saint-Germain's new formation, Mbappé has excellent skills, and it is even more difficult to deal with hiding behind Cavani, so he can't defend at all.

Paris Saint-Germain still scored two goals with two scalpel passes from Mbappe, and finally Neymar pulled space and scored an icing on the cake.

In this way, Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final again a year later. This time in the semi-finals, it eliminated Tottenham [-]-[-], a team that eliminated the previous champion Juventus.

Paris Saint-Germain's performance also put some pressure on the players of Manchester United and Barcelona.

On May 5, Manchester United was a guest at Camp Nou to challenge Barcelona.

At home, Barcelona performed much better than in the first leg, and the attack was smoother.

However, under the restraint of Shen Peng, they still failed to completely break Manchester United's defense.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still zero to zero.

For this score, Manchester United is naturally satisfied. Even if this score lasts until the end, Manchester United will advance because of the advantage of the total score.

In the second half, Barcelona's offense became more ferocious.

However, the aggressive offense has also brought them some problems, that is, their defense has been tested by Manchester United several times.

Before, it was all due to the personal performance of the players that Manchester United did not score.

If this continues, there is no guarantee that Manchester United will score a goal.

In fact, they have no choice. Now they are still two goals behind in total score, so they have to attack. If they attack, they still have a chance of life. If they defend, they are almost waiting for death.

They did find a chance, No.60 In the second minute, Barcelona passed the ball to Iniesta after a series of passes.

Iniesta has reached the age of retiring now, but his game experience is even richer. I saw him go straight and find Messi who is running!

Messi didn't stop the ball, but passed the ball out the moment he got the ball.

The ball found Suarez again with precision.

Suarez didn't waste the opportunity like in the first round this time. He directly made a difficult move, swinging his legs and shooting, and the ball flew into the far corner.

The angle of the ball is too tricky, so even if De Gea tried his best to save, he didn't touch the ball.

Barcelona led [-]-[-] at home, and the fans on the sidelines cheered, as if they saw the hope of the team's victory, because they only need to score one more goal, and they can eliminate Manchester United by virtue of the away goal advantage!
However, the reality gave them a heavy blow.

It is true that Barcelona has a superstar like Messi, but Manchester United also has a player like Shen Peng who can score goals whenever he has the opportunity.

Shen Peng also played his role at this time. In a fight, he directly broke the ball at the feet of Paulinho, who was a little sticky, and then broke through two defenders all the way, and then shot the ball into the Barcelona goal.

Seeing this goal, the fans who had been cheering for the team were silent for a moment.

Now, Barcelona have to score at least two goals to have a chance to advance!
Moreover, once Manchester United scores another goal, Barcelona must score at least four goals to ensure that they will not be eliminated!
Now no team on the planet dares to say that they can guarantee a clean sheet against this Manchester United team!

The situation in Barcelona suddenly became serious.

No.708 minutes, Manchester United scored again.

This time it was Aubameyang who scored the goal.

This goal also made the hearts of the Barcelona players sink to the bottom of the sea.

Now the total score of the two teams is [-] to [-], Barcelona scored three more goals to tie the total score, but even if it is tied, Manchester United will advance on away goals, so they must score at least four more goals!

With less than 15 minutes left in the game, they may not be able to score four goals even against an average La Liga team, let alone a strong team like Manchester United?

Valverde also made a substitution at this time, replacing Iniesta with Coutinho.

Iniesta's current physical fitness is no longer enough to support him to complete a whole high-intensity confrontation, and the fans on the sidelines also applauded the hero who helped the team score in this game.

This substitution did not solve the substantive problem. After Coutinho came on the field, he failed to help the team turn defeat into victory.

However, towards the end of the game, Barcelona still scored a goal to make the score [-]-[-].

But a draw doesn't make any sense now, they have to score three more goals to knock out Manchester United.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Barcelona [-]-[-] on aggregate and joined Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
