The European Cup is a fertile ground for miracles, especially after the knockout rounds begin, any dark horse may appear in front of people.

There are endless upsets, frequent on-field accidents, and even the established and strong teams will stumble. These are the most attractive aspects of the Champions League for fans.

There is no absolute winner here, unexpected situations may occur to any team, and no one dares to say that he is a winning general in the Champions League.

Just like the Celta Vigo team in Spain, before the game started, no one could predict that they would break the goal guarded by Lehmann twice.

If they hadn't faced the Arsenal team that dominated the Premier League and remained undefeated in the league, no one knows what else they could have done.

Falling behind twice, equalizing twice, and even almost succeeding in overtaking, Celta kept Wenger's nerves tense until the end of the game.

Although Arsenal finally won a 3:2 away victory, this thrilling process still remains in Wenger's mind.

Moreover, Celta Vigo's head coach Antic was not polite to Wenger after the game. He believed that the most reasonable result of this game was a draw.

"The task is very difficult for us now, but the game is not over. We will continue to work hard and seize every opportunity to win hope at Highbury." Antic said unceremoniously at the post-match press conference , challenged Wenger to a decisive victory at Highbury.

"We must now prepare for the second round and win the game. I hope we can defend better in the second round, but the turf today made it very difficult for us." Wenger, who has always hidden the needle, ignored it. The opponent's provocation was just stated quietly.

Although Wenger did not expect that the away game would be so difficult, he did not think Arsenal would lose the game if they returned to Highbury.

At least this season, no team can easily capture Highbury, where Arsenal are absolutely unbeatable.

The confrontation between Celta Vigo and Arsenal was the most thrilling matchup on the first day of the knockout rounds, but they were not the focus of the media.

Compared with Celta Vigo's home defeat against Arsenal, Real Madrid's away draw with Bayern was big news. This draw made the Germans quite angry.

Seven consecutive victories, this is Bayern's home record against Real Madrid. The Spaniard has never successfully taken away even a point from Munich.

But in the snowflakes falling all over the Olympic Stadium, Roberto Carlos broke through the door guarded by Kahn with a non-threatening free kick. The "Lion King" who had saved the team countless times committed a crime this time. The most basic mistake of a goalkeeper.

A football that had already been held in Kahn's arms could actually slip into the goal from under the belly of the "Lion King", which made everyone stupid.

Such a low-level mistake occurred in the most unlikely position. I am afraid that even Real Madrid supporters did not expect that the score would be equalized in this way.

The Spaniard is very afraid of Kahn. Marca once described him like this, "He is arrogant on the court and never smiles. He has a devil-like expression. Kahn is one of the most hated players in the world, especially for Even more so for the Spaniards.”

But this time, Kahn lost his usual deterrence. After the game, AS reported a large photo of Kahn leaking the ball into the net as the headline picture of the game, and used "Kahntada" as the headline. , meant to mock Kahn's stupid mistake.

"This is God's gift to Madrid. When facing Ronaldo and Carlos, the Lion King lowered his head high."

Regardless of whether Kahn could read such an article, the editors of Aspen were happy to use such content to complete their revenge against the Germans.

Even Bayern coach Hitzfeld said in an interview that he could never believe that such a goal would happen to Kahn.

"It was a crazy night, we were on the verge of victory, but the result tells me that Bayern must go to Madrid to win."

This may be the first time that this elegant head coach has behaved a little bit in front of the media, and his attitude also represents most Bayern fans.

Although Kahn said to the media after the game that he and Bayern would definitely take away a victory at the Bernabeu, no one was so optimistic.

This is the Champions League. No matter what earth-shattering things you did one second ago, you can never guess what will happen the next second.

However, Bayern still has a chance to make a comeback. They only need to win Real Madrid with a score of 1:0 in Madrid to continue their Champions League journey.

This is very similar to the situation of Manchester United. The "Red Devils" who lost to Porto only need to defeat the Porto team 1:0 at Old Trafford to advance.

But now many people are still optimistic about Bayern's reversal, and not many people dare to support Sir Alex Ferguson to create a comeback at his home court.

The Germans have a well-organized lineup and strong fighting spirit. The most important thing is that they did not lose, but Manchester United lost a lot to their opponents.

Dignity, courage, under the crazy attack of Porto, Manchester United can only retreat to its own half to defend desperately. Is this still a great Red Devil?

Look what we did in the game, right? In addition to vicious fouls that can earn a bunch of red and yellow cards, Manchester United has almost nothing.

Two main players were suspended, two were injured, and the defensive line had to be re-arranged. Sir Alex even had to use the youth team players.

They were a group of young players who had not even played a few games in the Premier League. Isn't it sad that they are now Ferguson's only hope?

And the consequences of this defeat are more than that. In the next three league games, Manchester United will face Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton. None of them is easy to chew. Ferguson now finds himself in big trouble in both the league and the cup.

Not to mention the pressure from public opinion. From the moment Manchester United returned home in defeat, all kinds of criticisms have made Ferguson annoyed.

Fortune's defensive action against Lin Yi was directly defined by those experts as an idiotic defensive action created by the simple thinking of an African savage.

Now no one can remember that this South African scored a goal in the game. The red card is the focus of everyone's discussion.

The British media did not show any mercy to Roy Keane after the game. The Sun gave Keane a score of 6 points. They said that Keane's foul was simply a "stupid" behavior. If Manchester United was eliminated by Porto in the second round, then Keane would be Manchester United's sinner.

The slightly milder "Independent" was not as polite as usual. They hinted that Ferguson should recognize Keane's character this time, especially when the team needed him most, the Irishman could not control himself and "applied" for a red card unnecessarily.

Although the old Sir Alex still insisted in front of the media that Keane did nothing wrong, it was all because the referee was under pressure from the opponent's home court and the exaggerated performance of those cunning Portuguese on the field that caused the misjudgment, but this time not many people would listen to what he said.

Everyone saw the damn broadcast of the game. Except for the first 20 minutes, Manchester United had no chance to win the game.

If it weren't for Fortune's goal and the opponent's bad luck, perhaps what was waiting for Manchester United was a bloodbath of shame to the bones.

Even the die-hard fans of Manchester United pointed out to Ferguson that it was the loss of excellent players that caused Manchester United's current embarrassing situation.

Beckham, Stam, when these star players left Manchester United, the glory of the Triple Crown has gradually dimmed.

Who is left in the great Red Devils now? If the class of 1992 is removed, there may only be guys like Saha and Fortune.

Look at the current league rankings. Even those London nouveau riche can step on Manchester United's head. How much honor is left for the Red Devils?

No one denies that the former Manchester United team was extremely powerful, but that was four years ago. Now Manchester United is more like a sick tiger.

The second round of the match with Porto may not be the most worrying thing for these fans now. Manchester United is facing more serious problems.

The horse racing dispute between Ferguson and Manchester United's two big bosses, Irish horse farm tycoons Magnier and McManus, has been entangled for a long time.

This has originally made the "Red Devils" full of various uncertainties, and there are many external factors that are also interfering with the stability of Manchester United.

What Manchester United fans are most worried about is not the internal strife between the team owner and Ferguson, but the acquisition of the Glazer family, the major shareholder from the United States. On the day of the game on the 25th, the Americans announced that they had bought another 1 million common shares, increasing their total shareholding to 16.69%.

If the Americans continue to acquire, Manchester United's shares may disappear from the stock market and become the private property of the Americans.

This is the worst thing. All Manchester United supporters know what those Americans do. They don't even know football!

They are a group of vampires who rely on speculation and scheming to make a lot of money. If they are allowed to buy Manchester United, it may be the end of Manchester.

When Manchester United lost the first round at the Dragon Stadium, the claws of the Americans once again approached the result they wanted most.

Although Manchester United fans have protested against the acquisition of Americans with public marches and demonstrations, it is a money game in the capital world. The voices of ordinary fans will never shake the idea of ​​businessmen making money, not to mention that the two Irish horse farm tycoons are now determined not to play.

Maybe a few years ago they could still talk about the future with Ferguson in a towel in the sauna, but now there is only one way for them to go to court.

This is a war between Ferguson and the equity owners. All British media believe that this war is inexplicable and very chaotic.

"The breeding income of a stallion has destroyed the foundation of Manchester United." No one could have thought that it was a purebred racehorse called "Rock of Gibraltar" that stirred up the internal strife of Manchester United. Of course, Ferguson would not let go of the breeding income of tens of millions of pounds so easily.

In the face of such a huge sum of money, even the old Sir Alex Ferguson lost his calmness in the past, and even went to the judge with his boss to distinguish right from wrong.

And the worst thing this time is that all the fans stood on Ferguson's side, and they even held a protest at the edge of the racecourse.

This is difficult for the two horse farm tycoons to accept. The head coach of a team can ride on the head of the big boss of the board of directors. I'm afraid no one can stand this.

Anyway, the friendship between the two Irishmen and Ferguson is now completely gone. There are only lawsuits and verbal attacks between them.

If you make trouble for me on the field, I will mess with your family behind your back. The horse farm tycoon's counterattack was equally fierce. They joined forces to bring down Ferguson's son.

When the insider news of Ferguson's son's involvement in multiple club transfers broke out, Ferguson was also caught in the scandal of making illegal profits from transfers.

"A stupid and mutually destructive confrontation." This conflict left such an impression on others, purely for the sake of face and suffering.

According to the Guardian, Magnier and McManus are ready to sell the 170 million worth of stocks in their hands.

And the American Glazer has already prepared his checkbook at this time. As long as the Irish are willing to let go, he will definitely initiate a takeover at the first time.

Now it is no wonder why Manchester United did not make any reinforcements during the winter transfer period. Even the board of directors is in a mess. Can we still expect them to pay?

No one is available. This is the most depressing thing for Ferguson now. Think about the 92nd class that was once at its peak. Look at it now. The old Sir Alex is completely helpless.

Losing a game is not terrible. What is terrible is that everyone is collectively singing the bad news about Manchester United at this time, especially Sky TV and BBC, who have a grudge against Ferguson. They even described the loss to Porto as the key battle for Manchester United's decline from prosperity. Manchester United's dynasty has come to an end.

Sky TV's commentators took the initiative to provoke the war at this time. They boldly predicted that Ferguson's coaching career has come to an end.

If the reversal cannot be achieved at Old Trafford, then Ferguson will only have one way to go, and few people can tolerate such a failure.

Looking at Manchester United's record in European competitions in the past 20 years, they have never had a precedent of reversing their opponents when they lost in the first round.

Even if they are at home in the second round, as long as they lose in the first round of the knockout round, they have no history of reversing. Although this is just a record in the past, no one dares to say that this is not a foreshadowing. Moreover, judging from Manchester United's current situation, it is indeed difficult to reverse Porto.

Moreover, when Sky TV was broadcasting this game, it specifically mentioned the news that Chelsea was going to acquire Lin Yi during the commentary.

Lin Yi, the mixed-race kid with black hair, was the one who used his feet to make Porto step on Manchester United's head at the Dragon Stadium.

That kid is now simply Manchester United's nightmare, especially his wonderful performance of playing with Manchester United's entire back line, which made those Manchester United fans hate him. If it weren't for that damn kid, maybe Manchester United would not have lost that game at all!

If it was the battle between Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal for him more than a month ago that made this little guy stand out in England.

Then now it is his strong performance on the field that has attracted the attention of the British Isles to him, and his name has resounded throughout England.

The birth of every new hero is always accompanied by the decline of the old hero. Facts have proved that this law is very applicable in today's international professional football.

Just like now, when everyone reports on the duel between Porto and Manchester United, they will see the picture of the little guy raising his hands and roaring.

Porto vs. Manchester United was like the birth ceremony of a great guy. Now no one dares to say that they don't know this guy.

The classic scene of Lin Yi breaking through the four-man encirclement of Manchester United on the wing has been selected as the most exciting goal in the first round of the Champions League knockout round.

Some critics even said that this might be the most classic goal in this year's European Champions League. Those flexible and ghostly feet have made many people crazy.

And just after the game, Chelsea has publicly announced the offer for Lin Yi, a transfer fee of 18 million euros, cash purchase.

Peter Kenyon also publicly announced that they would do anything to sign Lin Yi, as long as Porto nodded, everything would be negotiable.

This guy clearly wants to disgust Manchester United. Didn't you spend 17 million to buy a Ronaldo? Then I will spend more than you and buy a more valuable one.

When Chelsea saw Manchester United begin to decline, they were happy to step on it again, just like when Manchester United rose to power and snatched the top spot from Liverpool. Now it is just Chelsea's turn to play the role of Manchester United.

Whether it is domestic competition, international competition or even transfer market, Chelsea will make trouble for Manchester United. This is the struggle between strong teams.

Although Porto has told everyone that Lin Yi is not for sale, everyone knows that under the bombardment of a lot of money, it is only a matter of time. The black-haired boy is already infinitely close to England. As for who will end up with him, it depends on God's arrangement.

Anyway, Mendes is not worried about having no business in the summer. On his desk, there are already five transfer invitations for Lin Yi, and they are all from wealthy clubs.

Mendes is no longer worried about how to find the next place for Lin Yi, but where to let the boy go next.

Italy? Spain? Or England? God, these offers are too tempting. Mendes really wants to change a few more Lin Yis.

But the kid at the center of the storm is still struggling on the damn training ground. He doesn't care what happens outside the field.

Now Lin Yi has only one thought in his mind. He has not completely defeated Manchester United. He still has to go to the Theatre of Dreams, where the winner will be decided.

Can he advance with a draw? NO, Lin Yi only thinks about how to kill his opponent. A draw is not the result he wants!

Victory! He only needs to win. He is so crazy about winning. Even at Old Trafford, he wants to be a master!

This is just the only way for him to go to Schalke. For Lin Yi, now, he has just started.

(Alas, 123 points, the Rockets' defense is getting more and more regrettable... I am speechless...)
