In more than 100 years of English football, the Manchester duo have never played a derby in the Champions League.

This season, the two teams were drawn together, which can be regarded as a big fate.

With the first leg tied 2-1 between the two sides, and judging from the process of the game and the result of the game, everyone is looking forward to the second leg, hoping that Ferguson's side can return to Old Trafford to give Manchester City a head-on blow and teach the cold a hard lesson.

Yes, in European football, and even in the world, there are many media and fans who are waiting for the cold to lose.

But no one expected that at Old Trafford, Manchester United suffered the worst rout in history.

0-7, the Red Devils completely collapsed at home.

The Daily Mail of England published the headline on the front page of the next day, "Ronaldo, God of War, humiliates ten Red Devils".

The Daily Mail believes that Manchester City regained confidence after the 2-1 reversal of Manchester United in the first round, and in the second leg, they dominated the opponents, firmly occupying the possession and rhythm of the game, making Manchester United very passive.

"With the strong financial support of the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City has brought in a group of talented superstars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Sanchez, Benzema, Xavi Alonso and so on with amazing investment. ”

'The 7-0 defeat to our local rivals was devastating for Manchester United, but Ferguson should also reflect on his squad and perhaps it is time for him to abandon his old obsession and bring in players of a higher level to ensure that United are competitive in the Premier League and Europe. ”

The Daily Mail also highlighted the applause and cheers for the last 30 minutes of Old Trafford in charge of the Premier League.

"On this wonderful night, Gao Han completely conquered Old Trafford, the toughest bone in the Premier League, and he conquered the whole Premier League. ”

"Tonight, the whole of English football will bow down to him!"

The Mirror also made a front-page headline of the game, while a front-page photo of Gao Han receiving applause and cheers from the crowd at Old Trafford.

In the report, the Mirror said that Gao Han declared his conquest of the Premier League with a near-perfect victory.

"Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, Liverpool's Anfield, Arsenal's Chiefs, Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane......"

"In the past less than two years, the Premier League's most troublesome home stadiums have fallen to their knees, Old Trafford has been hailed as the last dignity of the Premier League, but after tonight, the Red Devils' home stadium has also fallen. ”

Gao Han used a bloody 7-0 to make it clear to everyone that Manchester City have a strong attacking force, Cristiano Ronaldo not only scored a hat-trick, but also created Evans's red card, and in the last round, Ferdinand's injury was also a masterpiece of the Portuguese. ”

The Sun is more direct than the Mirror, with a front-page headline, a Cristiano Ronaldo-esque victory!

They believe that the Portuguese played a pivotal role in both legs and was the most aggressive player in the Manchester City squad and the key to their victory.

Rio Ferdinand's absence is a huge loss for United, with Evans telling the world with a terrible and botched red card that he simply doesn't deserve to start for Manchester United, and after he was sent off, Ferguson failed to replace a consistent centre-back to fill the holes in the backline, and he could only stand on the sidelines and watch his side be bloodied at home by their rivals. ”

"It's an absolute shame for Ferguson. ”

The Guardian, which has always been rigorous and traditional, also wrote a commentary article by gold medal columnist Green Wald, and the headline on the front page was "Gao Han Creates a Century-old Myth", dedicating the credit for this wild victory to Manchester City manager Gao Han.

"The two-legged match between the two sides was a battle between Ferguson and Gao Han, and Gao Han won a well-deserved victory, both in the result of the game and in the process. ”

"This is not only my opinion, but the whole media circle in the UK, Europe and even the world, even the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford think so, Gao Han is a world super-famous coach. ”

According to Greene Wald, these two derbies are epoch-making and represent a change in the power landscape of the Manchester duo, with Manchester City gradually replacing Manchester United as the Premier League supremacy and becoming stronger.

The article argues that Manchester United's defeat lies at the back, but this problem is a long-standing problem.

'We have always known that the Red Devils have had problems in their defence since Stam left Manchester United, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been a storm and this has only improved until Pepe's arrival, but in recent years, as Rio Ferdinand has aged, the United captain is slowly saying goodbye to his top level and the United defence has re-emerged. ”

"Those who are familiar with Manchester United know that Ferguson's recruitment strategy in the past has always been more oriented towards the front line, not very important to the backline, and more to promote internal academy players, such as O'Shea, Wes Brown and Evans, but they have proven to be the backbone of the backline. ”

'The best of the two legs was in the first half of the first leg, but in the second leg, when Rio Ferdinand was sidelined with injury, the Reds' problems came to an all-round end. ”

In this game, Manchester City used their devastating and powerful attack to break through Manchester United's defence again and again, and after Evans was sent off, they penetrated Van der Sar's goal again and again. ”

'There was one tragic figure in this game that must be mentioned, and that was goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. ”

The hapless Dutch goalkeeper was not without him, and without him, United would have conceded double-digit goals, but Van der Sar's lively performance could not stand up to City's wolf-like tiger and the weakness of the team's backline, and he could only catch the ball from the back of the net again and again. ”

Greene Wald also mentioned Ferguson's preference for Evans, which he thought was somewhat suspicious.

"I think Gao Han was right in his post-match press conference, Evans really doesn't have the level to play in the current Manchester United team, he has completely lost the confidence of the game after years of training, he needs to regain his confidence, but obviously it will not be at Manchester United, so it is imperative that Manchester United bring in a high-level central defender as soon as possible. ”

At the end of the article, Green Wald highly affirmed Gao Han's two seasons of coaching at Manchester City, believing that Manchester City now has the strength to compete with all European giants, and even has the qualification to win the Champions League.

Compared with the Guardian's serious review and analysis, the independent newspaper that leans towards Arsenal is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, using the headline "Manchester City's seven-goal lesson for Manchester United", ridiculing Manchester United's poor performance in this game, and thinking that the three Manchester United directors of the Glazer family may want to reconsider whether the aging Ferguson is still qualified for the position of Manchester United manager.

Coincidentally, the Daily Telegraph dragged Arsenal into the water, believing that after Manchester United's heavy defeat to Manchester City, Arsenal was finally no longer alone, and Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were in the same place.

In addition to covering Manchester City's wild win over Manchester United, the Manchester Evening News also devoted a lengthy interview to Manchester City's general manager, Paul Futrey, and the Portuguese was amazed by City's wild victory, believing that the team had a good chance of winning the Champions League.

"We all know and believe in it that Gao Han is synonymous with victory, he is like an invincible god who has been convinced of this day since the day we invited him to coach in Manchester. ”

As well as introducing the game and praising the manager and players, Paul Futtley also highlighted City's plans for the future.

Construction has already begun on the training base, but the team is progressing well, the momentum is good, and the management is confident that the stadium will be expanded next.

"We've signed a big stadium naming contract with Etihad Airways, which currently has just over 47,000 capacity, but we hope to expand to 70,000, which will make our stadium the second largest home stadium in the Premier League, and in Manchester we have that kind of market appeal. ”

In response to rumors that Real Madrid will do their best to poach Manchester City's midfield duo, Paul Futrey's statement is very consistent with Gao Han's statement in the post-match press conference, believing that the two midfielders are a vital member of the team and cannot be transferred.

'It's clear that they're all going to stay with the team for at least the next five years and contribute to the team's performance and I don't see any reason for them to move away. ”

"We have more money than Real Madrid!"

With head coach Gao Han's two-year contract expiring, Paul Futtley said the team has drawn up a contract extension.

"Our contract renewal has always been on Gao Han's desk, and he knows that he can pick up the pen at any time, sign his name, and no matter what he puts forward, as long as we can do it, we will not refuse. ”

"Of course, the recent Europa qualification controversy has dealt him a big blow and made him reflect on his coaching career, which is completely understandable, so we respect his desire to leave his contract extension until the end of the season. ”

'But we are still confident that he will stay at Manchester City. ”

Paul Futrey's statement also made everyone doubt the whereabouts of Gao Han, and in fact, everyone knew that whether it was in Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan or Bayern Munich, Gao Han left after bringing the team to the top.

And if Manchester City can also win in the Champions League this year, then there is no doubt that Gao Han will choose to leave the team as before, and some media even revealed that he may retire and become the chairman of China City instead, and devote himself to the construction and operation of his team.

Previously, the British Sun broke the news that Manchester City had obtained a list of three managers recommended by Gao Han, of which the first place was Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, but the latter did not consider leaving La Liga for the time being.

Either way, everyone is confident that after such a spectacular win at Old Trafford, all Manchester City fans will be more eager than ever to keep the cold.

For Manchester City, he is like a god who has brought the light of victory.
