Chapter 0061 - Fastest Goal in the Europa League

It was a history-making goal!

After the game, the official calculation of the exact time of the goal was 11.28 seconds, so UEFA officially confirmed that this goal was the fastest goal in the history of the Europa League.

Coincidentally, the fastest goal in the Europa League was also born in a domestic battle, and just a year ago, in the Europa League quarters, and it was also a volley.

In the early morning of March 12, 2015, the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals was held, and in the game that the Spanish media paid the most attention to, Villarreal lost 1:3 at home to Sevilla, and during the La Liga civil war, Sevilla player Vitolo created the fastest goal in Europa League history.

In that game, just 13.21 seconds into the game, Gameiro picked up a cross from the left, Vitolo chested the ball down the middle, and then volleyed a left-footed half-volley into the bottom right corner. The record for the fastest goal in Europa League history was broken in 2009 when Ismael Blanco opened the scoring for AEK Athens just 15.19 seconds after a 2-2 draw with AHOTEL Borisov.

Marcus Rashford not only set the record for the fastest goal in Europa League history, but also claimed the second-fastest goal in European history.

The fastest goal in European history came in March 2007 in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, when Bayern defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home, and just 10.12 seconds into the opening game, Bayern Munich Dutch striker Mackay scored the fastest goal in European history.

………………

For this conceded goal, Liverpool, from the coach to the players to the fans, did not expect it at all.

Klopp had just sat in the coach's seat, wearing a white tracksuit, looking very calm, talking to his assistant.

Then, he heard an uproar in the stadium, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Manchester United players chasing a young man on the baseline.

Then he noticed that his team had conceded a goal.

Klopp had the feeling of being beeped by a dog.

Liverpool's players are the same, looking at the rushing Rashford, they were dumbfounded: Nima, the referee just blew the whistle, what the hell are you doing to score?! I don't know if the boys haven't started the fight yet?

The fans in the stands are no better, the fans who have entered the stadium are communicating with their companions, how to sing Liverpool's team song "You will never walk alone" for a while, cheering for the players, and then listening to a whistle, only to find that the team has conceded a goal.

As for those fans who have just entered the stadium, looking at the Liverpool 0:1 Manchester United displayed on the scoreboard, they are even more at a loss, is there a problem with the system, otherwise how can the team fall behind before the game starts?

Then they saw the Manchester United players running around in celebration.

Nima, the team is really behind!

………………

Not only did the Liverpool players not expect it, but even the Manchester United players did not expect it.

Even Depay, who crossed the cross, looked confused the moment he saw Rashford kick the ball into Liverpool's goal.

The cross he sent was nothing more than an inertial action after going down, and it was an action with no other choice. If he could break straight past Liverpool's defence, he would have done that.

Depay was very depressed in his heart, and said in his heart that this kid is too lucky, right?

Rashford was naturally very happy to break through the goal of his sworn enemy as soon as he opened the scoring and helped the team get off to a dream start.

Of course, it is because in his memory, he didn't score this shot, but now he has scored, which makes him particularly happy.

This shows that after being reborn, the improvement of ability has been best reflected.

In the original history, Manchester United lost the game 0-2, and now they scored in the opening 12 seconds, which will definitely have a series of chain reactions, maybe Manchester United can really make a breakthrough in the Europa League and replace Liverpool to advance to the quarterfinals?

With that in mind, Rashford turned and rushed to the corner of the stands occupied by the United fans, patting the Manchester United crest on his chest vigorously.

Thousands of Manchester United fans who travelled to the away stadium were boiling over, and they became more and more fond of the talent they had cultivated in their Academy.

However, the Liverpool fans near the stadium next to him were unhappy, they desperately booed Rashford, and scolded him with some trash talk, but Rashford didn't care, the more Liverpool fans booed him, the more angry they were at him, the more they had an impact on them.

As a sworn enemy, do you still want to get their applause and cheers?

Perhaps, but it must have been when the player made an unforgivable mistake that the fans of the sworn enemy would cheer and applaud.

It's like two seasons ago, when Steven Gerrard slipped in a crucial game against Chelsea, causing Liverpool to concede a goal and ultimately causing Liverpool to lose the title, the United fans would applaud and cheer, right?

Marcus Rashford would never let that happen to him.

………………

It was clear that Manchester United's lightning goal also woke up and angered Liverpool's players, who decided to fight back.

After Manchester United celebrated their goal and the game resumed, they launched a frantic attack and high pressing, and the pressing action was also great.

It's just that the Liverpool players have forgotten one thing, that is, the referee of this game, Spaniard Velasco is an extremely strict referee, and statistics show that in all the games he blew this season, an average of two games will show a red card!

In fact, UEFA sent such a card madman to enforce the game, because it was worried that the double red would be too hot, and the gentle referee would not be able to suppress the scene at all, so it sent such a referee with extremely strict law enforcement scales.

Sure enough, seeing that the movements of Liverpool's players are becoming more and more serious, Velasco was unrelenting, and gave Liverpool's captain Henderson a yellow card less than two minutes into the game.

At that time, Henderson was in the center circle to force Manchester United's midfielder Schneiderlin, in this action, he flashed the sole of his shoe and kicked Schneiderlin, Manchester United screamed at the back and fell to the ground.

Velasco, who was not far from the scene of the incident, saw the action clearly, and immediately ran over to give Henderson a yellow card, and stopped Henderson and warned him a few words.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Liverpool were down by another goal less than two minutes into the game, and Henderson was still Liverpool's captain, Velasco would have been shown a red card directly.

After all, the foul was already bad.
