From the man behind the football king to the football king.
Chapter 711 7 Joy
Barcelona was really in a desperate situation with a total score of 1:5 behind, which meant that they needed to score four goals in a row and not allow Barcelona to score any more goals in order to complete the reversal.
This situation is more difficult than the 0:4 loss in the away game two years ago. After all, they are now on the road, and they only have a little more than an hour to turn the tables.
However, Barcelona had no intention of giving up and they wanted to make a final desperate effort.
The players from both sides fought fiercely, the game turned into a bloody hand-to-hand fight, and both sides played without reservation.
Manchester United was playing at home, and Mourinho originally intended to control the midfield, but Barcelona's attack was too fierce. As soon as the Manchester United players received the ball, they faced the crazy pressing of Barcelona players and had no chance to control it.
Especially Bruno, the offensive core, was pressed by multiple Barcelona players, making it difficult for the ball to reach his feet.
Not only Bruno, Gundogan's situation is also not good. He is also the focus of Barcelona's attack.
In this situation, it is inevitable that Kante will have more opportunities to get the ball and pass it.
But this is exactly where the problem lies. Compared with Bruno and Gundogan, Kante's interception ability is indeed quite outstanding and his role is also very huge, but his ability to pass and control the ball is much worse, and he makes too many unnecessary passing errors.
………………
However, although Barcelona had the advantage in passing and controlling the ball, they were unable to create any threats, and their midfield passing and organization were somewhat chaotic.
In the first half, the only bright spot for Barcelona was Yosi's several personal breakthroughs and speed, but Mourinho also obviously strengthened the restrictions on Yosi, and Luke Shaw treated him like a formidable enemy and did not dare to relax at all.
In the end, neither side was able to score again in the last twenty minutes of the first half. The game was brutal but not exciting enough, and the score of 2:0 was maintained until halftime.
But overall, Manchester United still had the advantage, leading 2:0 at halftime and expanding the total score to 4 goals.
During the half-time break, Mourinho was obviously aware of Manchester United's problems in the midfield and made adjustments immediately.
The team's playing style returned to the double defensive midfielder configuration. Gundogan retreated to a double defensive midfielder position with Kante. Kante reduced his ball possession and passing, and focused on defense, while the organization and passing were left to Gundogan and Bruno.
………………
This adjustment immediately activated Manchester United's frontcourt offensive.
Just one minute into the second half, Manchester United created a very threatening attack. Mbappe made a cross from the right, Pique headed the ball away, but Bruno followed up and shot with his left foot. The ball just brushed the top left corner and went out of the bottom line, making Barcelona sweat.
Just one minute later, Bruno passed the ball behind him, Mbappe used his speed to force Alba away, broke through the baseline, and made a low cross.
Harry Kane scored with a low shot from eight meters in front of the goal, changing the score to 3:0!
This goal completely stunned Barcelona. With the aggregate score at 1:6 and only about 40 minutes left, they had no hope of a comeback.
Subsequently, Manchester United launched a massive offensive against Barcelona.
The old hatred of losing twice in the Champions League finals a few years ago made everyone in Manchester United, including the more than 70,000 fans in the stands, almost crazy and played with passion.
Manchester United played like crazy and almost suppressed Barcelona in the half.
Such a situation is really surprising. After all, the opponent is Barcelona. They have lost games before, but they have basically never lost in terms of ball possession.
………………
Valverde made a substitution quickly. In the 60th minute of the game, Semedo replaced Coutinho and the formation changed to 442 to strengthen the defense.
Manchester United replaced Gundogan with Fred to strengthen midfield control and passing.
The two sides fought back and forth, the fight became more and more fierce, and gradually they both became excited.
First, Maguire fouled a Barcelona player when he was competing for the ball with Vidal, causing Vidal to injure his right leg and bleed. He was forced to leave the field, and Maguire also received a yellow card.
Afterwards, Bumbappe got another chance to counter-offside and went straight behind the team. Alba committed a tactical foul but only received a yellow card.
Then, Suarez dribbled past Maguire and both he and Van Dijk fell in the penalty area, but the referee did not give any penalty.
The back-and-forth competition between the two sides caused the temperature of the Millennium Stadium to rise sharply.
Barcelona wanted to score a goal to save a little face, or even tie the score and continue to maintain its lead over Manchester United.
But Manchester United hopes to avenge the two defeats in the Champions League finals ten and eight years ago. Everyone is eager for victory and wants to win this game.
The game became more and more tense and brutal, and even Bruno, who was usually calm and composed, was affected to some extent.
The tension in the game has become so strong that it could explode at any time.
Either you die or I die!
………………
This was definitely the most brutal game Bruno has experienced so far this season.
The two sides not only have an old grudge, but also a hunger for the Champions League title.
Barcelona has not won the Champions League for eight years. Although Manchester United is the defending champion, they hope to repeat the miracle of Real Madrid's defense two years ago. Everyone is eager for the championship.
The game continued and Manchester United launched an offensive.
Even though they were leading by three goals and the aggregate score was 6:1, the Red Devils were still not satisfied and were still trying to continue to expand the lead.
Bruno was also working very hard, but he was still looking for opportunities.
In the 88th minute of the game, Manchester United had another chance on the right.
After Mbappe got the ball, he shook off Alba and made a cross from the right.
In the middle of Barcelona's goal, Harry Kane attracted the attention of the two central defenders, Pique and Lenglet, but the English striker used his body to block the two central defenders of Barcelona during the fight, allowing the ball to slip past his side.
In an instant, everyone was shocked.
But then they noticed that behind Harry Kane, a figure wearing a red Manchester United jersey was rushing into the penalty area.
"Bruno! It's Bruno!!!"
The whole audience exclaimed!
Bruno chased after him at an extremely fast speed, judging where the ball would land, and pushed forward with his legs.
Jump to the top!
………………
At this moment, time seemed to slow down very slowly, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Bruno's sprint just now was really fast, which reflected the success of his persistent strength training over the past few years.
His explosiveness and speed are much greater than when he was at Udinese.
This leap made him seem like a glider, flying over the grass of the Millennium Stadium.
Under the watchful eyes of more than 70,000 fans, he headed the ball firmly which Harry Kane had deliberately missed.
The football changed direction and hit the lower left corner of Barcelona's goal.
After Ter Stegen reacted, he didn't even have time to make a save before the ball went in!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"The ball went in!!!"
“Awesome diving header!”
"Bruno! Great Bruno!!"
"The final word!"
"4:0!"
"Barcelona had no chance, Bruno killed the game!"
……
The live commentator at the Millennium Stadium let out a crazy roar!
All the fans in the stadium rushed out of their seats, shouting wildly, calling Bruno's name frantically.
Bruno fell to the ground, patting the grass excitedly and laughing loudly.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore because he was pressed down on the lawn by a large group of teammates...
"Haha, God, Bruno is really enjoying it now!"
"We can't even imagine such treatment. Haha, Bruno, enjoy it!"
The fans in the stadium laughed loudly, hoping that the world would not be in chaos.
Only the Barcelona players hung their heads, looking extremely depressed.
Valverde was also very depressed because his players' performance today was really not ideal. Especially Yosi, who basically failed to pose a threat on the right and looked very depressed.
On the field, the Argentine was filled with grief and indignation. He knew he was in poor condition, but he was powerless and could only watch Bruno celebrate.
………………
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the entire Millennium Stadium seemed to have turned into a sea of celebration, with more than 70,000 Barcelona fans engaged in crazy celebrations.
The fans in the stands were like a rolling crowd. They sang the Manchester United team anthem in unison. The sound was majestic and deafening. The scene was very warm and spectacular.
This scene, created by the concerted efforts of more than 70,000 fans, is unforgettable and also makes the opponents shudder.
The scoreboard on the field records the score of this game and the total score of the two rounds of games between the two sides.
4: 0!
7: 1!
This is the final result of this series!
In the club's board room, the team owner, Prince Jassim, could not help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "Although I don't understand football, I feel the respect, victory and passion. This is an amazing team."
Giarretta also nodded continuously and said: "It's so shocking. The previous Manchester derby already shocked me, but I didn't expect tonight to be even crazier. Whether it's the players on the court or the fans in the stands, it's unforgettable."
In the two Champions League quarter-finals, one was the strongest team in the Premier League, and the other was the strongest club team in Europe or even the world, but in the end, Manchester United beat their opponents in both games.
It can be said that there is no more perfect ending than this!
At this moment, Prince Jassim also felt the significance of investing tens of billions of euros in this team over the past three years.
