Bayern Munich arrived in Madrid early.

Compared to the last meeting, they brought Robben back from injury, and Schweinsteiger, who ended his suspension, which also gave them a significant increase in attacking power.

In his pre-match press conference, Louis van Gaal looked ahead to the game, saying Bayern Munich are aiming to progress to the next round and will not be afraid even against a team like Manchester United.

"We have experience playing Manchester United, we have met Manchester United eight times in the Champions League, we have won two, drawn five and lost one, and the only defeat to them was in the Champions League final in '99.

But he also mentioned that Manchester United is different now, "the team with Ricardo and the team without Licardo are two grades," Van Gaal turned into a fanatical fan of Ricardo, and blew wildly, "I have been watching Ricardo every day for the past week to find a way to deal with him." Eventually, I found out that there was no way to freeze him. He is a star on another level, not of Earth, like Ronaldo back then. ”

"You send someone to keep an eye on him, he can retreat the organization, he can shoot from a distance; You play a foul on him and he can score from a free kick; Are you slacking off on him a little? He was able to burst into the box and deliver the fatal blow. ”

Sir Alex Ferguson, on the other hand, said, "The team is not far from the perfect team in my mind, I am confident that we will win some honours this season and nothing will stop us. ”

Ferguson said of the starting line-up to be used for the upcoming game: "Everyone has a chance and whoever is in better shape in training will play. ”

A reporter asked, "Then if Ricardo is not in good shape in training, will you not let him start?" ”

"Of course," Ferguson laughed, "but he's always been involved in training and he's one of the most serious players I've ever seen. Such a player, as long as he is not a fool, will definitely let him start. ”

One hour before the game, Ferguson came up with the final line-up.

There were a few tweaks to the starting line-up: goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, defenders Rafael, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, midfielders Fletcher and Carrick, ahead of them with Ricardo, Wayne Rooney and Nani, and lone striker Owen.

Bayern Munich also made just two changes to their squad, with Arjen Robben and Schweinsteiger starting the game.

Owen didn't start much this season, but he did well every time he played, and in this crucial battle, Ferguson did not use a high striker like Berbatov, nor did he use the more well-rounded Ronaldo, apparently hoping that the typical "little quick" Owen could restrain the opponent's tall and bulky defender.

After the loss of Lucio, Bayern Munich's defense was undoubtedly weakened, and Demichelis's turning speed could not be compared with Lucio, so Van Bitten became a big colander.

In the dressing room, Ferguson asked Owen in the most detail, and Owen listened attentively and nodded. Ferguson didn't ask Owen to score, but he wanted Owen to pull the opposition's defence and give Ricardo a chance.

If it was Owen when he was young, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so willing to be a green leaf. But now he is no longer the golden boy of the year, he once shouted "I am only willing to play as a substitute for Ronaldo", and at this time he appeared after Rooney, Ronaldo and Berbatov, but he had no complaints.

In Bayern Munich's dressing room, Van Gaal has been raising orders to Lahm, and Lahm's task is arguably the most important for the entire Bayern Munich team, and he is responsible for marking Ricardo.

'It's good to freeze him, of course, but even if you can't freeze him completely, I hope you can slow him down, our attacking line is good enough to score goals, but how many goals will our backline concede? It's up to you. Van Gaal concluded.

Rahm felt Alexander, but nodded heavily: "I won't let him be as presumptuous as he was in the last game." ”

But just three minutes later, he watched goalkeeper Bout pick up the ball from the net with his hands on his hips and watch feebly.

United played a fast attack, with Rafael, Nani and Wayne Rooney making quick forward with back-to-back passes down the right, before Rooney shifted the ball wide to the empty left.

Taking advantage of his height and confrontation, Ricardo stopped the ball on his chest and forced a squeeze past Lamenech, and suddenly shot hard from 25 yards out, sending the ball flying against the turf.

Bout made a timely save, but the ball bounced off the turf, over his gloves and into the corner.

"Licardo Goalllllllll! It's a bouncing ball that doesn't have a solution! Bayern Munich conceded a goal just after the opening. They weren't mentally prepared and looked caught off guard in the face of United's powerful attack! ”

Van Gaal frowned deeply on the sidelines.

It's not that he wasn't prepared for Manchester United's attacking power, but he made up his mind to play against his opponent in this game, because in the draw in the last leg, Manchester United scored two away goals, and the situation was very unfavorable for Bayern Munich.

What he didn't expect was that Lahm, who had always performed steadily and could rank in the top three of the right back in his mind, would be beaten by Licardo so easily.

He glared at Ram, then quickly shook his head and looked away, sighing. I knew this was going to be the end, didn't I? In the pre-match press conference, he spoke from his heart. In his mind, Ricardo is indeed a player on another level.

Ram lost to his opponent, and he really didn't feel wronged.

"In this season's Champions League, Licardo has scored nine goals and is very likely to be the top scorer in the Champions League," the commentator said, "With his current form, Bayern Munich's backline is really hanging and they have to maintain a high level of concentration!" ”

Bayern Munich kicks off and Manchester United continue to press forward. Bayern Munich couldn't play well at all, and Manchester United took advantage of the home advantage to play very actively! ”

Under the pressure of Manchester United, Bayern Munich can only keep kicking, kicking, and then driving up with big feet, so as not to pose any threat to Manchester United's defence.

In the 6th minute, the football was handed to the feet of the striker Rooney again, and Rooney distributed the ball to the left and handed it to Ricardo, who did it directly back without stopping the ball, and then inserted it himself and used absolute speed to shake off Lahm.

Rooney understood and stuffed the ball in front of Ricardo, giving a very large amount of advance.

Ricardo took the ball directly to the bottom, and suddenly kicked back with his left foot after reaching the baseline, and Ram, who was caught up, was stunned for a moment, and his right foot dunked the ball back, and then the ball was pushed forward with his left foot, breaking through along the bottom line.

Van Bitten immediately stepped up to create a void in the central defence, and Ricardo did not stick to the ball again, but quickly sent the ball into the middle of the box. Owen and Demichelis were pestering each other for the ball but didn't touch the ball, and when the ball came to the back post, Nani met the ball and fired a fierce shot through Bout's finger again.
