There is a dream called football

81 minutes.

The atmosphere of the game has reached a suffocating level.

On Barcelona's side, Rijkaard has already used two substitutions, with Henry replacing Deco.

Gudjohnsen replaced Eto'o, Messi and Henry were on the two wings, and Gudjohnsen was in the middle.

Manchester United also made two substitutions, with Park Ji-sung coming on to replace Anderson.

Under Sir Alex Park, Park Ji-sung was an unstoppable midfielder. He was a sweeping sweeper in the midfield.

Another substitution was a bit unexpected. Sir Alex replaced Neville with Pique. Maybe it was because Pique had been trained by Barcelona's youth training. Ferguson wanted to use Barcelona's people to deal with Barcelona?

In short, both sides still have one substitution spot, and it seems that both sides will not make substitutions easily again in the last 10 minutes.

Henry created several threats after coming on the field. The King of Highbury returned to the "Premier League" and his firepower is still good, but Manchester United's defense also did a good job and did not leave its weakest part to the opponent.

In other words, Henry can win the shot, but it is impossible to shoot in the most critical area.

At this time, Manchester United's two wingers have been completely withdrawn and used as full-backs. Li Qiao is facing Messi, while Ronaldo is mainly defending Henry.

Li Qiao and Pique defended one against the other, and faced Messi. Messi suddenly flicked his instep when the two were pinched, and then he got through the middle of Li Qiao and Pique. Li Qiao didn't react in time, and when Li Qiao

When Qiao stretched out his hand to pull someone, he hesitated slightly because he had a yellow card. If he received another yellow card, the final would be suspended.

Of course, the premise is that you can advance to the finals.

But Li Qiao didn't make a move. Pique moved to grab someone. He was clean and he dragged Messi down.

"Yellow card."

Martin Taylor looks at the television screen.

"Oh my god, Li Qiao will miss the next game."

"In this case, even if Manchester United reaches the final, Li Qiao will not be able to play."

Li Qiao was stunned for a moment and quickly realized what had happened. That was that the referee thought the ball was a foul on his own.

Although he and Pique guarded Messi together, in the end it was Pique who pulled the ball, not himself.

If it were the past, then this dumb loss wouldn't matter, and it would even be better to give a yellow card to a winger than a defender, but this time is different, Li Qiao knows exactly what this means.

Li Qiao immediately found the referee.

"It's not me pulling people, it's my teammates."

The coaching staff on the sidelines had already figured it out. Ferguson was very excited. This was so ridiculous that everyone could see it wrong.

However, in the era without video assistant referees, referees were more willful. No matter how Li Qiao argued, the referee was indifferent. Just when Li Qiao was about to cry, unexpectedly Messi came over and said to the referee

the truth.

"It was me who pulled No. 19, not him."

Even Messi said this, and the referee could no longer remain indifferent. If the penalty was not changed, he would really be the target of public criticism after the game, so the referee gave Pique a yellow card and canceled Li Qiao's yellow card.

Li Qiao patted Messi and said, "Thank you, you are an upright person."

*****

At the last moment, the game became fierce. Rijkaard was like an ant on a hot pot. He wished that he was 10 years younger at this time, so he would immediately replace himself and attack the city. It is a pity that such a thing cannot be done.

may appear.

The players on the court worked hard enough. At this moment, Ferguson used up the last substitution spot, replacing Cristiano Ronaldo and replacing him with veteran Giggs.

Before taking the field, Ferguson put one hand on Giggs' shoulder.

"Ryan, I won't say anything more. I think you all understand that you are a child of Manchester United. This is all I need to tell you."

Giggs nodded.

2 minutes later, Barcelona got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Rijkaard waved, which meant everyone was on board.

So even goalkeeper Valdes had already rushed forward, because it was already the 89th minute, and there was no need to hesitate anymore. If it didn't succeed, it would be a success.

Xavi's free kick went in. The first point was hit by a Manchester United player, but it was not far. The ball was in front of the penalty area. At this time, it was Yaya Toure who took the ball. He did not dare to shoot because there was everyone in the penalty area.

It's a human being. In this case, it would be better to continue lobbing the ball into the penalty area.

The first point of Yaya Toure's lob was hit by Manchester United. It was French defender Abidal. He moved the ball to the center because the two big men of the team, Marquez and Milito, were in the middle. Right here.

At that time, Manchester United's Ferdinand also understood the opponent's intention. He jumped up and headed the ball out before Marquez.

This time it was not a Barcelona player who got the ball in front of the penalty area, but a Manchester United player.

After Li Qiao got the ball, he gave Giggs a big kick in front of him, and Giggs was competing with Barcelona's chasing Zambrotta. Whoever gets the ball first will decide the game, because Barcelona's goal

It's empty at this time.

right!

A big empty door.

Old Trafford started cheering like a riot. They were cheering for Giggs. As long as he got the ball before Zambrotta, it would be over.

In the end, Giggs got the ball first, but Zambrotta's foot also arrived. He kicked Zambrotta down, and the price of this goal is self-evident.

red card.

Zambrotta was ready to go off without the referee coming over, and the referee decisively showed a red card.

Rijkaard suddenly felt that the situation was over, and Giggs was kicked hard. Because Zambrotta wanted to kick Giggs to the ground, the treatment was delayed for a few minutes. At the end of the day,

The game was intermittent, and Barcelona, ​​with one less player, never organized a decent attack.

The final score was settled at 1-0.

Manchester United advanced to the Champions League final with Rooney's only goal in the two rounds. They first got the ticket to Moscow.

Ferguson knelt down to celebrate. It had been almost 10 years since he reached the Champions League final again. The old man burst into tears. It seemed that he still had a chance to win the Champions League again before he retired.

After the crazy celebration, Ferguson was still very gentlemanly and walked towards Rijkaard, holding hands with each other.

What no one knows is that this is the last time Rijkaard will lead Barcelona to the Champions League. From now on, Barcelona will belong to a bald man named Guardiola.

Ferguson embraced Li Qiao, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Rooney. It was this trident that led Manchester United so far this season.

"I want to thank you for making Manchester United reach the final again."

"Sir, we should be the ones thanking you for giving us such a good opportunity."

"Hahaha."

The Manchester United anthem sounded again at Old Trafford.
