In the 38th minute of the first half, Juventus instigated a counterattack after breaking the ball!

Mandzukic won the ball in midfield and played a long ball behind Manchester United. Higuain sped up and got the ball! Bailly defends Higuain head-on! Higuain smashed the ball and changed direction and passed Bailly directly!

Single Knife Ball! Higuain formed a single knife in the penalty area!

Gonzalo Higuain vs De Gea!

De Gea decisively gave up the goal. It has to be said that De Gea's goal-line technology is among the best in the whole of Europe. However, his striking skills have always been a weakness.

Higuain, who was in great form, changed direction for the second time and passed De Gea!

Higuain is already facing an empty goal!

Maybe Higuain is genuinely trying to provoke Manchester United, or maybe it's to please the 40,000 Juventus fans at the Athletic stadium. Instead of opting to shoot straight at goal, he escorted the ball all the way to the goal line. On the goal line, he picked up the ball and headed it into the goal with his head!

1:0！ Juventus leads!

"Yay~~~~" There was a cheer in the stadium. Then came the deafening singing of "Juventus, Juventus~~"!

Juve coach Allegri shook his fist excitedly.

After Higuain scored, he made a celebration of sliding on grass and kneeling.

At this time, a strange scene happened!

When ordinary people slip and kneel, there will be two marks on the grass, but there are three traces on the ground where Higuain has slided! Could it be that Higuain was excited after the goal?

It doesn't matter if there are two or three traces of the slide. Juventus are both 1 goal ahead of Manchester United.

Mourinho was furious. He's getting angrier and angrier at his own backline! Before the game, he made a lot of effort to eliminate the combination of Valencia, Bailly, Lindelof and Phil Jones. In the locker room, the four were repeatedly told to be careful of the opponent's long pass counterattack。。。。。 But at the critical moment, this porous backline still had problems.

Jose Mourinho knows very well that if he wants to rebuild the United dynasty, he must have a solid backline. Led the team to win the Premier League title seven rounds ahead of schedule, and Manchester United will definitely renew his contract. He intends to undergo major surgery on this backline in the summer window after the end of the season.

For the remaining six minutes of the first half, Juventus defended in a nutshell. Liu Yun didn't find any decent opportunities in the frontcourt.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. 1:0, Juventus leads Manchester United by one goal!

The big-mouthed Dunphy said in the commentary box: "Manchester United have the strongest attacking combination in Europe. The backline is underwhelming. With a score of 0:1, Mourinho will not be satisfied, Manchester United fans will not be satisfied, and the new captain and old lieutenant will not be satisfied! ”

Fat Bob agreed, "yes! Juventus' backline, successfully defended LIL in the first half. The reinforced concrete defense line lives up to its name. Gianluigi Buffon's performance has also been solid. Can Manchester United get a valuable away goal at the Athletic Stadium? We'll see in the second half. ”

In the Manchester United dressing room, Jose Mourinho was furious.

"Victor Lindelof, the goal in the 38th minute, where are you located? How many times have I said it, don't keep thinking about plugging in assists! You're a centre-back! You should do what a centre-back should do! If that happens again in the second half, I promise I'll kick you out of the squad for the next game! ”

Lindelof hung his head and said nothing. He is well aware of Mourinho's fiery temper. If he refutes it, maybe Mourinho will replace him at the beginning of the second half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

No one expected that in just 3 minutes of the opening game, Lindelof, who was not in form, made a well-known mistake again!

Juventus organises the attack in front. Dybala wins the ball in the middle. He passes the ball to Cuatrado on the left. Pogba, who had excellent interception awareness, cut off the pass. Pass the ball back to Lindelof.

Victor Lindelof catches the ball and clears it with a big foot. This clearance was not kicked high. Kicked a half-high ball directly into Mandzukic and flew into his own penalty area.

The ball was unbiased and landed at Higuain's feet!

Higuain has been in red-hot form this season, scoring 28 goals in 33 league games and topping the Serie A scorers' charts. How could he waste such a good opportunity when he was still in good shape!

Higuain shoots angrily on the line of the small penalty area! The ball goes straight to the top right corner of the Manchester United goal! De Gea can't make a save! The ball is in!

2:0！ Higuain scores twice! Juventus lead Manchester United by two goals!

After Higuain's goal, there was a machine-gun celebration straight away. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Higuain is mimicking the old lieutenant's goal celebration. As if to say, look, old lieutenant, I'm Higuain not much worse than you!

Higuain's goal ignited the enthusiasm of Juventus fans. They sang the Juventus anthem and waved their scarves. It seems to be the happiest person in the world.

The big-mouthed Dunphy commented: "How could Lindelof make such a low-level mistake! This blunder near the penalty area is almost fatal! He lived up to the expectations of Manchester United fans! Such a mistake is rare even among the main central defenders in England's lower league! The score of 0:2 once again put Manchester United on the edge of the cliff! ”

Jose Mourinho finally couldn't stand Lindelof's lackluster form and ended up making a big mistake. Manchester United substitutions! Youngster Luke Shaw replaces Lindelof!

The second half opened with a 2-0 lead, which boosted Juventus' morale. The lightning goal was a bit confusing for Manchester United's players. For the next ten minutes, Manchester United were almost pinned down in their own half by Juventus.

Even old lieutenants Liu Yun and Lukaku returned to their own half to participate in the defense.

In the 57th minute, the danger reappeared outside the Manchester United penalty area!

Cuadrado dribbled the ball on the right and hoisted it into the box at a 45-degree angle. Mandzukic got the ball in the box and got up decisively! De Gea was obscured by his team-mate's body. His save was noticeably slower by half a beat!

At the critical moment, the second goalkeeper - the goal crossbar made a great contribution! The ball hits the crossbar! Pogba gets the ball and clears it with a big kick!

Jose Mourinho in the dugout was terrified. The Red Devils fans in Manchester, who are in front of bars and their own televisions, are also terrified!

Liu Yun knew in his heart that if it continued like this, Manchester United's third goal would be a matter of time.

He muttered, "It can't go on like this." ”

On the commentary table, the big-mouthed Dunphy said: "This situation continues. Manchester United will be getting farther and farther away from the Champions League final! Old lieutenant, it's time to lead Manchester United out of the inferiority! Come on, old lieutenant, come on, Manchester United! ”

Fat Bob said: "The problem now is that Manchester United seem to be demoralized by Higuain's second goal! They could barely organize an effective offensive. ”

In the 62nd minute, Mandzukic's pass was cut off by Nemanja Matic. Nemanja Matic passed the ball to the old lieutenant Liu Yun in the midfield position!

The old lieutenant takes the ball! The show begins!
