On the evening of 16 February, the QPR of the youth squad reversed Barnsley 2-1 at home and successfully advanced to the last eight of the FA Cup.

On the evening of February 20, QPR visited the Turkish Telecom Stadium to challenge Galatasaray.

In the winter transfer window, Galatasaray brought in Sneijder and Drogba and increased their strength.

With the likes of Sneijder, Drogba, Yilmaz, Altentop and Muslera, Galatasaray will not easily concede defeat.

Moreover, Galatasaray's home stadium has always had the name of "hell", and playing in such an away game is a great test for the psychology of QPR players.

In the 12th minute of the game, Galatasaray scored first.

Drogba split the ball in front, Serkik made a wonderful pass, and Yilmaz kicked the ball past two defenders with his heel, and then shot hard at the penalty spot, breaking Handanovic's ten fingers!

It was Yilmaz's seventh Champions League goal of the season, and he is joint second in the Champions League scorer list with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has nine goals in six games.

QPR was completely demoralized and Galatasaray played better and better at home, especially Drogba, who constantly threatened QPR's goal.

In the 18th minute, Sneijder sent a through ball and Drogba burst in with a single knife and fired a left-footed shot, but Handanovic made a brilliant save to save his powerful shot from the bottom line.

In the 21st minute, Drogba took the ball and distributed it to the right, and Altentop volleyed hard from the edge of the penalty area, hitting the crossbar and popping up, leaving the QPR fans from afar in a cold sweat.

In the 38th minute, Drogba sent another brilliant pass, Yilmaz fired a powerful left-footed shot from inside the box, and this time it was Handanovic who magically lifted the ball over the crossbar.

If it weren't for Handanovic's heroic performance, QPR would have been three or four goals behind.

It wasn't until 40 minutes later, when Galatasaray's fitness declined, that QPR found some chances.

In the 42nd minute, Neymar broke down the right and sent in a cross, Klose headed the goal, Muslera saved the ball, but the follow-up Nainggolan missed the equaliser.

However, in the first minute of stoppage time, QPR played a skillful counterattack, Modric's long pass went directly to Klose, Klose sent the ball behind him, and Ricardo used his speed to shake off the defense and plug in to catch the ball, forming a 2-on-2 situation.

In front of goal he broke through Noukwu and sent a low ball to goal, where Neymar slotted home an easy shot from Muslera to equalise for QPR.

In the second half, Galatasaray continued to press the QPR, first Drogba almost opened the scoring with a header from Amrabat's cross, and then Bastos's long-range shot hit the post again.

Towards the end of the game, Drogba showed a monster posture, using his body to carry the two to send a wonderful pass, Yilmaz burst into the penalty area and shot hard, Handanovic once again saved the ball and tried to keep the goal intact.

In the end, QPR got a draw away from home and had a valuable away goal.

Although the process is not very pretty, the result is good.

QPR returned to London non-stop to prepare for the clash with Manchester United in three days' time.

The British sports media have been high enough to be high, and this match related to this season's championship situation has touched the hearts of all English fans.

Manchester City and Chelsea have fallen too far behind, with Manchester City 15 points behind Manchester United and QPR with a game in hand, and Chelsea 18 points behind, and they are destined to be no threat to QPR and Manchester United.

The winner of this game will take the initiative in the title race.

Both teams were also plagued by Champions League fixtures, with QPR having a hard-fought battle at the Telekom Stadium in Turkey and Manchester United also playing at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid, with neither team being at their best.

Relatively speaking, Manchester United may have a more complete squad, and their main players are injury-free.

On the QPR side, Modric went off injured against Galatasaray; Nainggolan also suffered a sprained ankle and, although he played the full game, it is still unknown whether he will be able to play against Manchester United. With Ronaldo injured, Fernandinho suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and Ricardo also suffering a minor injury, the situation is more serious for QPR.

'Manchester United is a great opponent and although this game is our home stadium, we are missing a couple of big players, Luka Modric, Nainggolan, Ricardo and Ronaldo are all unavailable, so we will still focus on defending and try for a draw. Simeone said at his pre-match press conference.

"I don't believe any punctuation marks in Simeone," Mourinho commented, "It's hard to talk about Modric and Ronaldo, and Ricardo will definitely start the game." Wait and see. ”

Gary. Neville said in an interview: "Manchester United have been very consistent and in great form this season. But we can't underestimate QPR. Led by Ricardo and Simeone, QPR has lost just 2 games this season. The problem now is that if one side loses in this game, it is likely that they will be demoralized and lose the whole season. So I think Manchester United have to defend well in this game, make sure they don't lose first, and a draw is acceptable. ”

Ricardo said: "Manchester United have never been an easy opponent. In the first leg of the season, we ended in a draw, which basically reflected the balance of strength between the two sides. I'm not sure if I'll be able to play in this game, it's all up to the doctor to diagnose me, but I'm sure we won't lose whether I play or not. ”

On 23 February, at 15:00 London time, the Loftus Road stadium was packed to capacity, with 16,000 QPR fans and 2,000 Manchester United fans in attendance at the top of the table.

Outside the stadium, more than 20,000 QPR fans and thousands of Manchester United fans were unable to buy tickets and could only watch the big screen outside the stadium.

Ricardo is already considering the expansion of the Loftus Road course, or plans to build another stadium.

The existing stadium is no longer able to meet the growing demand of fans.

This season, QPR sold 16,000 season tickets, and there are a large number of fans who want to buy season tickets, but they can't sell them because they have to reserve tickets for the away team.

Loftus Road has long been saturated.

But the team's current financial situation is only enough to break even, and Ricardo does not have the financial resources to build a new stadium.

Only a few more seasons can be accumulated.

Eyes back on the pitch, Manchester United lined up a 442 formation today, goalkeeper David De Gea, defenders Rafael, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, midfielders Michael Carrick and Ryan Giggs, flanked by Nani and Ashley. Jan, striker Robin van Persie paired with Hernandez.

On the QPR side, Simeone lined up a more aggressive 4231 formation today, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender Alex. Alex Sandro, Alderweireld, Miranda and Walker, midfielder Paul Pogba with Nainggran, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Ricardo on left, Neymar on right, and solo striker Jamie Vardy.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
