The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was a star-studded night at Old Trafford, and Manchester United's traditional giants facing European upstart Paris Saint-Germain were naturally in the spotlight, while Manchester United inevitably had a bit of arrogance.

Paris Saint-Germain have been unknown in the past decade on the European top stage, both in terms of history and team experience, and Manchester United have been one of the protagonists.

In the stadium, which was full of people, there was an incredible feeling when Tang Hong shook hands with the Paris Saint-Germain starters before the game.

Just over a year later, Paris Saint-Germain's lineup changes in the two seasons before and after have been turned upside down.

The opponents he can remember remembering, Mane, Gameiro, junior captain Sako and other players were on the bench, and there was only one Pastore in the starting line-up who was the face of last season's meeting.

When Beckham shook hands with Tang Hong, the other party stroked Tang Hong's cheek, which seemed to be a kind gesture, but Tang Hong felt like he was being teased.

You can clearly feel the Red Devils fans cheering for Beckham in the stands, but the scene is not as enthusiastic as when Ronaldo "comes home".

After all, he had already come back once three years ago.

The arrangement of fate also made Tang Hong feel wonderful.

This season, he has played against Manchester United's two legendary No.7s of the past 15 years!

The media will call it a legend.

After the pre-match group photo of the starters of the two teams, they set up their formations and prepared for the game.

Tang Hong, who has attracted much attention, also happened to have a bit of offensive and defensive meaning with Beckham today, which also made the audience around the world look forward to it.

"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the first leg of the 2012-2013 Champions League 14 finals, where the Red Devils take on Paris Saint-Germain!

Manchester United are world-renowned and have been favourites in the Champions League for nearly 20 years, while Paris Saint-Germain have reached the Champions League for the first time in their history and have set a new record in their history.

It seems that another Chelsea, Manchester City is rising in European football!

If you just look at the Paris Saint-Germain line-up, you won't be surprised at what they have achieved!

However, it is definitely not easy to get past Manchester United in the quarter-finals, and Manchester United's home and away defeat of Real Madrid in the last round of 16 has sent a clear signal to the European giants that they are definitely not to be messed with in the Champions League this season!

Take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Manchester United started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.

Midfielders: Phil Jones, Shinji Kagawa, Carrick.

Forwards: Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Tang Hong.

Paris Saint-Germain started the same 433.

Goalkeeper: Sirigu.

Defenders: Yale, Thiago Silva, Alex, Marcos Weir.

Midfielders: Beckham, Pastore, Matuidi.

Forwards: Lucas, Ibrahimovic, Ravic.

The line-ups of both teams are extremely luxurious, and even if Paris Saint-Germain is still difficult to be recognized as a giant by the whole world, it is definitely a heavyweight powerhouse conversation!

Let's watch the game together now and see if this game will be Mars hitting the Earth! ”

Carlo Ancelotti stood on the sidelines to supervise the game, while Ferguson sat in the dugout and chewed gum, seemingly showing a psychological advantage in his posture.

Not to mention that Ferguson and Carlo Ancelotti have also met in the Premier League, the miracle at the Camp Nou remembered by the world in 99 was Manchester United's shocking reversal of Bayern Munich, but what about the semi-finals before that?

Manchester United also staged a shocking reversal!

The opponent is Juventus, and it was Ancelotti who was the coach of Juventus at the time, and it was Ancelotti who had the attributes of being shocked and reversed since then, with Manchester United in front of him, Deportivo in the back, and the most sensational thing is the Istanbul miracle!

Ferguson's clash with his old rival is also in the global spotlight.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Paris Saint-Germain, who took the lead in kick-off, is not stage frightened at all, with the characteristics of Ancelotti's Italian coach, if it weren't for Manchester United's defense this season, there are indeed a lot of flaws, I'm afraid it will not put a three-striker formation away from home, the purpose is obvious, what you want is to score away goals!

Pastore passed the ball to Beckham's feet at the back, and Beckham, who already had wrinkles on his face, took a long pass on the spot.

The ball flew precisely to Ibrahimovic, who found a position in the middle of the field, and with his physical advantage, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball and blocked Carrick before turning to face Vidic, and crossed the ball diagonally to the right without the slightest drag.

Lucas Jr. cut inside to lead the ball and made a quick stop to change direction, then broke through Patrice Evra from the outside and crossed the bottom.

Ibrahimovic followed up in the middle and carried Vidic's header to the goalkeeper and deflected the ball!

After the opening, PSG played simply but effectively.

Ibrahimovic on the front line is 31 years old, but in terms of strength, he is still in the sky!

Naturally, it will be the big killer that Paris Saint-Germain relies on.

After a quick pass from the midfield, Shinji Kagawa sent the ball to Tang Hong on the left flank.

When Beckham came to the side to defend Tang Hong, Tang Hong did not give face to his predecessors, pretending to pluck the ball and cutting inside but changing direction with his right foot halfway, the football rolled between Beckham's legs, and Tang Hong passed through the crotch to complete the breakthrough!

When Beckham turned to defend, Matuidi unexpectedly got the first shot, forcing Tang Hong to speed forward to dodge, but then the experienced veteran Yalai completed the break in front of him.

It's wonderful to have two people in a row, but it can be said that it is meaningless to be cut off in the end.

Tang Hong immediately launched a counter-attack, and after Yalai passed the ball to Thiago Silva in the middle, Tang Hong turned his head to look at the PSG backfield players to observe their movements.

Today David Beckham played in a right-sided midfielder position and Matuidi played in a left-sided midfielder.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the two midfielders to defend the same wing together, it is too easy for the opponent to catch the middle and go straight to the penalty area!

But Paris Saint-Germain did just that!

It is enough to see that Ancelotti attaches great importance to Tang Hong beyond the ordinary!

It's a risky move, but if it works well, then most of United's attacking threat will be wiped out!

Paris Saint-Germain's visit to Old Trafford really did not have the slightest sense of self-control, Maxwell on the left side quickly inserted an assist to the front, received a pass from Matuidi, and then collided with Ravitch to cooperate with the wall, and then played an offensive depth advantage at the bottom and then passed the ball back to the triangle.

Ravitch, who ran to the left in front of the penalty area, took a step forward and then smashed the ball across Phil Jones, and then pulled out his foot and fired a furious shot into the far corner of the goal!

De Gea pounced sideways and blocked the ball off the line with both palms, and his posture was beautiful and a bit of visual shock!

Call!

Paris Saint-Germain fans beat their chests, this goal didn't score?

Red Devils fans were a little scared.

It's not quite right!

The Reds managed to defend a corner and then launched a move from the right.

The attack on the left just now has made it clear that Paris Saint-Germain will not give Tang Hong too much room to play.

When Van Persie received a pass from Rafael up front, he was immediately flanked by Maxwell and Matuidi.

When he knocked the ball back to Shinji Kagawa, who came to pick it up, the latter's cross was hoisted to the left rib of the penalty area, and it was already the first time to grab the rhythm.

When the ball fell to the left rib of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area, Tang Hong quickly cut inside, but Thiago Silva and Yalai quickly defended in place, the former controlling the ball and the latter blocking Tang Hong's running line.

The cooperation of the two made Tang Hong not even have a chance to compete for the header.

Silva clears with an easy header.

Tang Hong once again realized that today's targeted defense against him is not only the midfielder, but also the defenders.

Ancelotti, you're there.

I don't know if I should thank the other party for paying so much attention to me.

Anyway, Tang Hong instantly understood that this game could not be solved by working hard with enthusiasm.

Paris Saint-Germain's backfield was directly instigated by Beckham's long pass to instigate a fast attack.

David Beckham's precise long ball was enough to distract countless Red Devils fans.

When David Beckham arrived at Old Trafford three years ago for AC Milan, the situation was very different than it is today.

At that time, in AC Milan, Leonardo was demoted to a substitute for staying in a nightclub, and when Beckham came on in the second half close to 70 minutes, AC Milan was already behind and hopeless of a comeback, and Beckham's performance naturally had no bright spots.

But today, three years later, Beckham, who is almost certain to announce his retirement at the end of the season, is burning the last energy of his career!

Dream Theater reproduces the golden right foot!

Ibrahimovic headed the ball over to Lucas Jr., who cut in to pick up the ball, and Ibrahimovic, who quickly stepped forward after the ball, led the United defence back, and Lucas Jr. dribbled to the middle of the pitch after stopping the ball and went to find Ravic on the left flank.

The Argentine winger cut inside the box in quick succession, faked a dribble in front of Rio Ferdinand and dribbled towards the bottom line, only to send a late cross in.

Ibrahimovic was narrowly flanked in front of goal, and De Gea scrambled to confiscate the ball!

If it was a second slower, the ball would have been kicked into the goal by Ibrahimovic!

Ibrahimovic turned and gave Ravitch a thumbs up.

Ferguson looked solemn at this scene.

When United launched the fast attack again, they were finally able to play some threats.

Tang Hong took the initiative to take the lead and then pushed forward along the wing, and after seeing Beckham and Yalai form a local joint defense, he decisively knocked the ball across the middle.

Shinji Kagawa followed up with a kick, and Rooney, who was closely marked by Matuidi, also kicked the ball sideways.

Shinji Kagawa, who continued to cut forward, stepped into the left side of the penalty area in front of the penalty area, and faced Thiago Silva's up-and-go tackle, decisively passed the ball diagonally to the right rib of the penalty area.

Van Persie cuts to shoot without making adjustments!

Alex raised his leg to block but was still a step too slow, and then turned his head to look in fear.

I saw that Van Persie's shot was a little right, and Sirigu moved a step and held the ball in his arms.

Van Persie gritted his teeth secretly, this shot was too anxious!

But at least it's a good sign for Manchester United!
