Star Card System
Chapter 722 From Champion to Quarterfinals
Manchester United's Champions League journey this season is really coming to an end.
Even the most optimistic Manchester United fans have fallen into despair at this moment.
At the last moment, they wanted to rely on defense to stop the game.
But Messi's fatal blow made Manchester United fans fall to the bottom.
Now there are only two pure offensive players on the court.
Pogba and Rashford.
The physical fitness of the two has seriously declined, not as good as in the first half.
The other players are mainly defensive.
The talented star who is excellent in defense and offense is still sitting on the bench at this moment.
At this time, there is basically no hope of scoring a goal.
There are more than ten minutes left in the game, and Manchester United is desperate.
But if desperately working can work, then the former universe team Barcelona would have been overturned long ago.
Admitting that technical defects cannot be fully compensated by hard work is a manifestation of respecting the laws of football.
In the third minute of injury time, Pogba's long shot hit the stands, and Manchester United's last offensive opportunity also ended.
The referee blew the whistle and the game was over!
Lost 1-3 at home, 4-5 in total.
Manchester United's Champions League journey this season has come to an end.
On the sidelines, Valverde shook hands with Solskjaer in a friendly manner and said polite words.
Solskjaer, who led the team to participate in the Champions League for the first time, also seemed very polite.
Xia Xing next to him suddenly had an idea.
If Mourinho was here at this moment, what would he do?
I'm afraid he would definitely ignore Valverde.
After losing the game, he didn't bother to pay attention to anyone.
At this moment, Xia Xing suddenly missed Mourinho very much.
Alas, what a pity.
"Xia."
"Huh?"
Xia Xing looked up and saw Messi standing in front of him with a jersey in his hand.
Xia Xing wanted to sit up from the bench, and Messi gently held him down.
"Dude, don't get up. Take good care of your injury. I look forward to your return to the court."
"It's a pity that I couldn't finish this game with you."
"I feel lucky to finish this game with Manchester United without you. Don't mind me saying this. If you were there, I'm not sure we could walk out of Old Trafford with a smile today."
"It's okay, we'll play again next year."
"Okay! Play again next year!"
The two shook hands tightly, with admiration in their eyes.
At this moment, the two of them had the same idea.
It would definitely be a wonderful thing if they could play with him in their careers.
This bad game made Manchester United lose the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Manchester United fans were extremely disappointed.
However, there were also many fans who were disappointed, such as their city rivals.
In the two games between Tottenham and Manchester City, the total score of the two sides was 4 to 4.
In the end, Tottenham relied on the advantage of away goals to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
In the two rounds of the game, Son Heung-min scored three goals and had an assist. He participated in all the team's goals.
Facing opponents worth much more than themselves, Tottenham played a very experienced performance.
Harry Kane played as a wall, and his role as a pillar was obvious; Eriksen was good at passing and controlling, showing the strength of the top attacking midfielder in the Premier League.
There is also Ali's talent, Trippier's offense and defense, and Lori's wonderful defense...
These are the important fundamentals for Tottenham to defeat Manchester City.
Even with top stars with extraordinary talents such as De Bruyne, Aguero, and Jesus, they still couldn't defeat Tottenham's passionate play.
The technical flow lost to the hard-line.
In the end, Guardiola was disappointed in the Champions League again, and his great goal can only be expected to be realized next season.
The Manchester City brothers were both eliminated and left the field regretfully.
However, their exit was not an upset.
After all, neither Barcelona nor Tottenham are weak teams, and their strength on paper is also comparable, so even if they lose, it is expected.
But Juventus's retreat made many fans feel uneasy.
As Ronaldo's new club, Juventus has received a lot of attention.
They even ranked in the top three in the Champions League odds list.
This is completely different from the previous seasons.
This is the influence of the superstar.
And Ronaldo's wonderful performance in the quarter-finals also gave fans great confidence.
A hat trick overturned Atletico Madrid, which made Simeone extremely embarrassed. That scene has long been talked about by Juventus fans.
And now, they are naturally sure to win against a weak team like Ajax.
But in the end, they fell at the feet of Ajax.
In two rounds of matches, Juventus lost 2-3 on aggregate.
One game was 1-1, one was 1-2, and the two games were tied and lost.
It is worth mentioning that both goals were scored by Ronaldo, and he tried his best.
But the team's overall offense was really weak, and he was powerless.
On the other hand, Ajax has excellent overall quality.
Goalkeeper Onana, center back De Ligt, defensive midfielder De Jong, attacking midfielder Van der Beck, center forward Tadic.
Such a central axis is perfect.
And there are also talented full-back Mazraoui, old captain Blind, winger Ziyech and other distinctive role players. The overall integrity of the Ajax team is great.
In the end, the Ajax youth team overturned the old lady Juventus and successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.
After the game, head coach Ten Hag was praised by countless media, and he was very satisfied with the result.
"What is Ajax's Champions League goal this season?"
When a reporter asked this question, Ten Hag smiled slightly.
"What is it? Of course, the Champions League champion!"
This bold statement made countless Ajax fans excited!
Are they going to regain their glory in the past?
You should know that although Ajax is only a Dutch team, not one of the top five leagues, their number of Champions League champions even exceeds that of many giants.
Especially in the three seasons from 1970 to 1973, they won three consecutive Champions League titles!
The most recent one was the Eredivisie youth team that shocked Europe in the 1994-1995 season.
And now, they are hitting a new miracle!
Compared with these three groups of opponents, the competition between the other group of opponents is much more distinct.
Liverpool played against Porto, and the Reds won.
The total score of the two rounds was 6-1, a victory as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, and the Portuguese Super League giants had no chance to fight back.
Their trident of Salah, Firmino and Mane is already recognized as the strongest trident in Europe this season.
Their offensive power is so strong that even the Manchester City striker group, who temporarily leads them in the league, can't catch up with them.
In the end, Liverpool successfully advanced.
Facing the media, Klopp said: "What we lost in the Champions League final last season, we must win back this season!"
Whether it is Liverpool, Tottenham or Ajax, as well as the revival of Barcelona, they have obviously made great progress.
Only Manchester United has regressed significantly.
From the Champions League champion last season to barely reaching the quarterfinals now... (End of this chapter)
