At half-time, there was silence in the dressing room where United were located.

Pogba and the others had gloomy faces.

Solskjaer didn't speak, he was in a state of dazed at the moment, and even began to doubt whether he could win the game.

Mason Greenwood and Tahith Chong were a little bit better, but for the first time after more than 10 minutes of the first half, they felt the difference between themselves and the top players.

"It's too weak!" Greenwood pursed his lips and said with a reluctant face.

He came to the first team with the name of a genius, and he has always dreamed of competing against those top players and becoming famous by one goal, and this game is very much in line with his heart.

But it turned out badly.

Not to mention superstars such as Neymar and Yile, even Mbappe is countless times better than them.

The gap is like that between an adult and a baby, leaving him with no chance to resist at all.

After the whole first half, not only Greenwood, but even Tahith Chung was almost kicked with no confidence.

It can be said that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer almost ruined two seedlings.

......

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the Paris Saint-Germain dressing room is slightly more relaxed.

Except for Cavani, who was scolded a few times, the others were praised to varying degrees.

'In the second half, we continued to play like this, we put the attack in full swing, Manchester United had no hope of turning the tables and we should be thankful for their injury wave, which gave us more room to deal with the next games.

In Villas-Boas's view, Paris Saint-Germain's promotion is already a certainty.

But qualifying also means that the competition is more difficult.

After reaching the quarter-finals, the real cruelty of the Champions League will be in front of you.

If there is a situation like Manchester United before the quarter-finals, it will never happen after the quarter-finals.

Each of the teams that can enter the quarterfinals is running for the championship, and their benches and team strength should not be underestimated.

Even the current Paris dare not say that they will win, although they have a certain advantage, but if they are careless, they will also be in danger of being overturned.

As for this game, Villas-Boas does not think Manchester United can turn the tables and if the opposing manager is Alex Ferguson, Villas-Boas will definitely take it seriously.

However, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer studied under Alex Ferguson, the two have very different styles of leadership, and even differences in philosophy.

In fact, Villas-Boas agreed with the words of the old Manchester United fan.

Football training needs science, yes, but the game must not be interpreted in a scientific way.

Football is inherently full of surprises.

He will not have a predetermined ending, there will always be an inexplicable inflection point.

And the victory of a game is not only reflected in the tactics and lineup, but also in the bigger factors of form, spirit and other factors.

After all, football is played by people, and people are creatures that are affected in various ways.

It's not uncommon for fans to get excited and get the most out of 200 per cent.

Therefore, Solskjaer's set, Boas scoffed.

......

The halftime break was over quickly.

In the second half, there were no changes to Manchester United, but Paris made some changes.

The overall lineup switched to 4-3-3, and Yile's position was backward, forming a defensive counterattack posture.

You can see the attitude of Villas-Boas, who doesn't want to spend too much energy on this game.

With Paris already dominant, he just needs to stabilize the situation and make it to the quarterfinals.

It's not that Villas-Boas looks down on Manchester United, it's just that the current Manchester United really doesn't interest him.

The little madman prefers to play against teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Liverpool.

Back to the game itself, Manchester United launched an aggressive attack after kick-off.

As a right winger, Tahiong was quite active on the flank, which also allowed him to get a lot of passes.

But the problem was that the right flank was blocked by N'Golo Kante and Chung Tahi had no chance to break through. On the other hand, Greenwood frequently cut forward on the left flank, causing a lot of trouble for Paris.

But that's all the trouble, Marquinhos couldn't bear the little guy jumping up and down, and finally a shovel knocked the opponent over.

Greenwood, despite being 17 years old, was a grumpy man, got up and got into a fight with the tall Marquinhos, and the two almost got into a fight.

Yi Le and the others looked at the big eyelids, Greenwood's move was a bit clever, and after Marquinhos threatened to blow the tackle, the two fought again, completely ignoring the referee's warning.

This could result in a red card.

Thiago. Silva immediately ran over to grab Marquinhos and then pleaded with the referee.

Although the referee was dissatisfied with the performance of the two, he did not really give a red card.

But yellow card warnings are indispensable.

Marquinhos was booked and had to switch places with Yile.

Yile started to defend Greenwood, but when Yile defended, Greenwood's life was uncomfortable.

Marquinhos' defense, for the most part, is based on his own strong body, using his physical advantage to steal and push.

But Yile didn't do that, he used his movement and interceptions more to defuse, and this is precisely the weakness of Greenwood.

Greenwood is only 17 years old, his body is not yet fully developed, and he is slightly thinner than other players, so he uses his movement more to catch the first drop in the matchup.

This style of play requires a strong sense of play, but Greenwood thinks he has a good sense of it, but he is facing Yile.

Yi Le will always be the first to break the ball.

No matter how Greenwood runs, Yile can get to the landing point as soon as possible.

As a result, both wings of Manchester United are locked up.

Marcus Rashford in the middle was in a hurry, he started to drop back frequently to get the ball, but it didn't work at all, he dropped too deep, causing the breakthrough to be too much of an obstacle, and it would simply result in no player in front of him.

Throughout the second half, Manchester United was defended by Paris and failed to play an effective attack.

On the other hand, Paris's defensive counter-attack was impressive.

Not only defensively, but also on the counter-attack.

As time passed, Manchester United became more and more anxious.

Paris, on the other hand, are as secure as they are, knowing that they can qualify if they only need to hold on to the goal, even if they are scored by Manchester United.

So, in terms of pressure, Paris is a lot less, which also leads to them playing more relaxed and working together.

With the clock ticking 92 minutes, it was United's last attacking chance.

Everyone at United pressed forward, and this time it was like going back to the old days, with everyone desperately squeezing towards the penalty area, and even David De Gea joined in the attack and didn't want the goal.

Pogba completed his task with a cross from the edge of the area.

Now it's up to everyone else.

However, the ball was lucky to fall on Pereira's head and stumble into the back of the net to salvage a point.

With dozens of seconds left, Pereira fished the ball out of the goal and quickly retreated, looking like he could turn the tables.

Manchester United kicked off the ball and pressed forward frantically again, but this time, their ball was intercepted by Yile.

After Yi Le intercepted, it was a high lob directly in the backfield.

The ball flew across the half-pitch and into the empty United goal.

And this goal also completely killed Manchester United's last hope.

In the end, in the quarterfinals of the 2018/2019 Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain 3:2 Manchester United successfully reached the quarterfinals.
