Chapter 226 Sniping Manchester United
Almunia saved Manchester United's penalty, which really boosted Arsenal's morale and allowed them to wake up from the 10-minute bombardment of the opponent!
In the ensuing match, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, with no one able to break through the opponent's gate. The time between the match was passing by, but the situation on the court became more and more stalemate!

When the fourth official held up the 3-minute stoppage time sign on the sidelines, people realized that this wonderful and fierce game was coming to an end.

"Because the game went smoothly in the second half, the fourth official only gave 3 minutes of stoppage time. What are these 3 minutes enough for? Now there is a saying called Ferguson time. I wonder if there will be Ferguson time in this game?"

To some extent, people's subconscious emotions will tend to support the reverser. In this game, Manchester United showed a strong spiritual will from falling behind by three goals to tying the score.If they can score a goal in stoppage time, then this game will definitely be the most classic game in the history of the Premier League!

Even if it ends with this score, this game can definitely be called soul-stirring and full of twists and turns!
Manchester United took the lead at the beginning, and then Arsenal fought back frantically, leading 4:1 before the break.In the second half, it was United's turn to go crazy again, scoring three goals in 10 minutes to level the score and missing a penalty - it was an unforgettable game, for whoever it was It was a great game - except for Ferguson who wanted to be crowned at the Emirates Stadium.

When the game entered the second minute and 40 seconds of stoppage time, that is, at 92 minutes and 40 seconds of the game, Arsenal launched their last attack of the game.

Reyes received a precise long pass from Fabregas' backcourt and dribbled the ball into the United penalty area.Because this is an attack from defense to offense, most of Manchester United's players are still desperately returning to defense, but for them who have fought for 10 minutes, many of them are exhausted and can only slowly move forward. Go back, and at the same time hope that Arsenal's attack will return in vain.

Reyes is not only extremely fast, but also has amazing dribbling skills. Faced with the high-speed dribbling of the football almost sticking to his feet, none of the Manchester United defenders dared to steal the ball. A free kick in front of the penalty area.As a skilled team, Arsenal has never lacked free kick masters!
Manchester United's defenders "escorted" Reyes and slowly approached the Manchester United penalty area.

"Stop him, block him!" Van der Sar roared loudly, but he knew that this distance had entered Reyes' range.

Reyes flipped the football to the outside, and Manchester United's defenders rushed up to block it, but Reyes didn't shoot the goal immediately, but made an emergency stop and smashed the ball very lightly, and the opponent fell to the ground in embarrassment.However, Reyes buckled the football to his other ankle, and the football flew to the outside again.

At this time, another central defender was blocked by his teammate's body, and Buffon's body was shaken by Reyes so that he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

The next thing was very simple, in the desperate eyes of the Manchester United players, Reyes sent the ball into the goal lightly!
"boom!!!"

"Ray - Yes -!!"

After scoring the goal, Reyes seemed very excited and excited. He ran to the stands where the Arsenal fans were with all his strength, and at the same time kept beating the Arsenal team logo on his chest with his right hand, shouting that no one could hear him. Know how to speak!
Wenger, like a child, ran for more than 50 meters on the sidelines to express his inner ecstasy!
"This is the last minute of the game! Reyes scored the most critical goal! Arsenal beat Manchester United at home!
"Arsenal scored in stoppage time when they were behind, overtaken and tied again! It's amazing, a miracle! This is a real miracle!"

Van der Sar, who was nearly forty years old, jumped up from the ground angrily, and reprimanded the defenders who were timid in defense, and those defenders who were scolded by him looked helplessly at the back of Reyes running.In fact they beat the entire Arsenal team, but lost to Reyes alone!

Although this failure only delayed the pace of Manchester United's championship, it made Manchester United's championship look less than perfect.

The moment the game whistle ended, Ferguson stood up and left the field. He didn't even maintain his demeanor to shake Wenger's hand. This is really rare in Ferguson's career.

The reporter who had something good to do suddenly had a sudden whim and snapped shots of Ferguson's back, one of which captured the bright red "Arsenal 5: 4 Manchester United" on the scoreboard.

This photo became one of the top ten classic photos of the year. Many years later, Ferguson retired and admitted that this game was the most memorable defeat in his history of coaching Manchester United for many years.

And not introducing Reyes is the biggest regret of the old man!

Of course, the failure of this game did not affect the next performance of the Manchester United players. In the next round of the league, they easily defeated Stoke City 2-0 and played at Old Trafford, their home court. Crowned the league champion of the 2007-2008 season.

Ferguson used a perfect season to declare his immortality and the return of Manchester United's king.

The league is hopeless, and Arsenal put all their energy into the Champions League.

I have to say that Arsenal are still lucky, they met Liverpool in the first round of the Champions League knockout round.Although Liverpool recruited troops and even invited Reyes' mentor, they were still sent home by Arsenal.

After entering the quarter-finals, Assen encountered the five-time Ligue [-] champion Lyon.Although dominating domestically, Lyon is really not a strong team in the international arena!At the beginning of this game, the Lyon team once caused some troubles for Arsenal, but when the home team resisted their offensive, it was announced that the visiting team's efforts came to an end.
Arsenal beat Lyon 5-0 at home. This score is scary. After all, Lyon is also the champion of the Ligue [-], and it is also the winner of five consecutive championships, but they are as helpless as a child in front of Arsenal. force.

Every once in a while there would be a huge cheer from the stands at the Emirates Stadium, which meant that poor Lyon keeper Lukes was about to pick the ball out of the net again.
It was not Reyes who was star-studded in this game, but Cesc Fabregas behind him.He not only scored twice in the game, but also directly assisted the remaining three goals.

After the game he was named the man of the game.

In the semifinals, Arsenal met Inter Milan!
