Football King Bale

Although there was one less player, Manchester City did not surrender. At the last moment of the game, they even tried to launch a desperate counterattack, but they ran out of time.

Soon, the five minutes of injury time passed, and the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

4:3, Manchester United completed an incredible reversal!

This is an epic game!

The game was over and the fans refused to leave. They followed the stadium broadcast and sang the Manchester United anthem together. The glory belongs to Manchester United. The singing was loud and clear, filling the entire Old Trafford Stadium.

At this moment, Old Trafford is like the scene of a festival celebration.

Bell led his teammates around the field to thank the fans.

In today's game, when trailing by three goals, the fans' persistence gave the players extra motivation. The credit for this reversal lies in the hard work of the players and the support of the fans.

………………

"Incredible reversal!" Zhan Jun from Xinlang Sports sighed, "Who would have thought that Manchester City's three-goal lead could be reversed."

"Manchester United has been called a comeback madman by fans this season. They have come back in more than 15 games on all fronts. However, when they were three goals behind, they were still able to come back in just one game!"

"It is worth mentioning that in the 12th round of the Premier League, when Manchester United played against Tottenham at home, and in the 19th round of the Premier League against Newcastle, the two games also had the same score. However, those two games at the beginning Manchester United have never been behind by three goals in a game."

Zhang Lu nodded in agreement and said: "This match against Manchester United was really exciting. They performed a soul-stirring comeback. However, I don't know if it is necessary to fight like this with Manchester City when we have already won the championship. After all, In three days they will face Málaga in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals."

“Malaga performed very well this season, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in the Champions League. Although they did not encounter any strong opponents along the way, they were able to defeat AC Milan in the group stage and finished first in the group. Once we enter the knockout rounds, our strength is worthy of recognition.”

"This Malaga team is trained by Chilean engineer Pellegrini. Although they don't have any big-name stars, their tactics are very worthy of recognition."

"It is worth mentioning that the young players Isco of Malaga and Pogba of Manchester United are the biggest contenders for the European Golden Boy Award this year. However, Isco and Isco have already challenged each other in Malaga. Compared with carrying heavy responsibilities, Pogba appears more as a rotation player in Manchester United. After all, Pogba still has to compete with superstars like Sneijder."

Manchester United came back from three goals down to beat Manchester City with four consecutive goals, which became the biggest news in world football this weekend. But for this game, the media's opinions are not unified.

It’s understandable that they don’t want to lose when facing their rivals in the same city. But when the Champions League life-and-death battle is about to begin in three days, is this approach really necessary? Especially under the premise that Manchester United has already won the Premier League title in advance.

This statement reached its peak after the Champions League match between Manchester United and Malaga officially started, and the team quickly fell behind.

The first leg between the two sides ended in a 0-0 draw at Malaga’s Rose Garden Stadium. In the second round, both teams have a chance to advance. Manchester United needs a win to advance, while Málaga can even reach the semi-finals with a goal-scoring draw.

Compared with the first round of the contest between the two sides, Manchester United's starting lineup has changed a lot. Bell and other main players who rotated in the first round all appeared, while Malaga changed to 4231. Pellegrini replaced Sanchez and Camacho due to accumulation. Weligton and Itura were the main players who were suspended due to yellow cards, and Duda replaced Saviola.

After the game started, the players of Manchester United, who were playing at home, were not very excited. The fierce battle with Manchester City three days ago caused many Manchester United's main players to consume too much physical energy.

It has not fully recovered yet.

Under such circumstances, Málaga turned the tables and actually took the advantage at Old Trafford. And scored the first goal in the 25th minute of the first half.

Vidic headed the ball to the feet of Baptista, who handed the ball to Isco, who passed it to Joaquin. Joaquín was blocked by many defensive players. He first dunked Vidic, who was lying on the ground, and then forced a kick before Smalling could make up the position. The ball passed through Smalling's crotch and flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal. De Gea failed to save, 1:0, Malaga took the lead.

………………

Malaga's goal put a lot of pressure on Manchester United, because there was a 0:0 draw in the away game in the first round. Now that Malaga scores a goal, it means that Manchester United must win in order to advance.

Under the leadership of Bell, Manchester United launched a counterattack.

In the 33rd minute, Bell used his personal ability to break into the penalty area and then passed the ball. The ball was blocked by the defensive player. Bell took Dortmund's first corner kick and failed to create a threat.

In the 38th minute, Joaquin got the ball from the left and then dribbled continuously from the center to the right. The ball was cleared by Modric. The experienced former Spanish international was in excellent form today, fully demonstrating his ball control advantage in the frontcourt and scoring an ice-breaking goal.

One minute later, Van Persie almost had a one-on-one chance with Caballero in the penalty area. The Argentine goalkeeper struck out in time to tip the ball, and his second reaction was quick to get the ball quickly.

However, Manchester United equalized the score before the end of the first half.

In the 40th minute, Kanter stole the ball in the backcourt, and then Manchester United made a series of cooperation on the right side of the midfield. Bell handed the ball to Rooney, who made a wonderful pass with his heel at the top of the arc in the penalty area. Van Persie broke into the penalty area and passed Caballero, pushing the ball into the empty goal. Success, 1:1,

Manchester United equalized the total score, but still fell behind due to fewer away goals.

………………

After the start of the second half, Manchester United began to attack aggressively.

They have no way out.

Although the total score is 1:1, Malaga has 1 away goal. The Red Devils must score another goal to ensure that they get the right to advance.

Malaga, under the command of Pellegrini, used defensive counterattack tactics to deal with Manchester United.

In the 46th minute, Van Persie received a pass from Bell in the penalty area and shot hard but Caballero saved it.

One minute later, Evra, who was already carrying a yellow card, kicked down Baptista while defending in his own half. Fortunately, the referee showed mercy and did not give Evra a second yellow card.

Isco's free kick was passed to the back of the penalty area. Demichelis headed the ball over. Joaquin headed the ball in front of the goal. De Gea turned the ball away with an incredible save.

In the 51st minute, Sanchez made a mistake with a header in the penalty area and gave Rooney an own goal "assist". Unfortunately, Rooney unloaded the ball on his chest and volleyed over the crossbar.

In the 58th minute, Manchester United tore through Malaga's defense with a through ball. Rooney succeeded in countering offside on the right and broke into the penalty area to hit the goal. The ball hit the opponent's defender and crossed the baseline.

Malaga intercepted Manchester United's corner kick and launched a counterattack. Modric was forced to commit a tactical foul near the center circle to delay the opponent's prospects and received a yellow card.

In the 60th minute, Modric and Gamez had physical contact near the sideline. Gamez's exaggerated and painful fall to the ground not only failed to get his opponent another card, but he was given a yellow card by referee Thomson for diving.

In the 67th minute, Van Persie scored with a header into the empty goal, but Sneijder was already offside when he assisted him with a header, and the goal was invalid.

………………

In the high-tempo transition between offense and defense, the game time passed very quickly. Before you knew it, seventy minutes had passed.

If the game ends with this score, Manchester United will be eliminated from the semi-finals due to the disadvantage of few away goals. This is obviously unacceptable to Manchester United people.

In the cheers of the home fans, Manchester United's offensive became more and more fierce. But Bell's condition today was not very good, and with Malaga's tight marking on him, he had very few chances.

Although Rooney got many opportunities on the right, neither Van Persie nor Rooney could seize them.

Seeing that the game time had reached eighty minutes, the mentality of the Manchester United players was a little jumpy, and the offense seemed very hasty.

But just when Manchester United was upset after being unable to attack for a long time, Malaga suddenly launched a counterattack after stealing the ball in the backcourt.

In the 81st minute, Isco cut in from the left and sent a through ball. Baptista got rid of Carrick's defense and faced the attacking De Gea and shot into the empty goal. Eliseu made up the ball before it hit the net. With the last kick, 2:1, Malaga once again exceeded the score, and Manchester United needed to score two more goals to advance.

………………

There were less than ten minutes left in the game. Even if injury time was included, it was only a little over ten minutes, but it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to score at least two goals.

At this time, the debate over whether Manchester United's stalemate with Manchester City last weekend was worth it has become more intense.

Many people believe that Manchester United continues to fight with Manchester City even though they have already won the league championship, which has caused the main players to consume too much physical energy and has also led to the current passive situation. This is obviously picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

Everyone knows that Manchester United hopes to win the Champions League again this season, because this means that they have won three consecutive Champions League titles. At the same time, they have overtaken their archrival Liverpool in terms of the number of Champions League titles they have won, becoming the undisputed number one club in England.

However, if they are eliminated by Malaga today, then Manchester United will have to wait until next year if they want to surpass Liverpool in the Champions League.

Some fans ridiculed Liverpool on the Internet, saying that Liverpool fans are already grateful to Manchester City. It was they who fought against Manchester United at Old Trafford, which caused huge physical exertion on Manchester United and prevented Liverpool from overtaking Manchester United this season. , which also allowed the former British overlord to continue to maintain a certain face.
