Chapter 546: The one-eighth finals with frequent upsets

In the second half, Dortmund rushed to score an away goal and pressed hard as soon as they came up. Shinji Kagawa even pushed up to the forward position.

For a moment, Dortmund seemed to have the upper hand.

Sitting in the stands and watching the game is not the same thing as playing on the pitch. The stands are more able to see the big picture.

Liu Yun couldn't help but think of a saying in Handong's hometown: I can't eat hot chicken in a hurry.

Dortmund, which seems to have the upper hand, is actually at the end of its power.

In the 58th minute of the game, Qu Bai's wide break won a corner for Manchester United. Marcus Rashford takes a corner.

Lewandowski leaps high and heads the ball at goal!

The ball is in, 3:0!

Manchester United is kingly! 3 goals ahead of Dortmund at Old Trafford! You must know that any team that can enter the top 16 of the Champions League will not have any weak teams or fish belly troops! In just 58 minutes, they led Dortmund by three goals. Today, Manchester United is a truly super-class club.

The fighters in red jerseys are only one big ear cup away from the title of "European hegemon"!

Dortmund coach Stegger in the dugout looked gloomy. There was no hope of winning the Bundesliga, and Dortmund was holding their breath and wanted to make a difference in the Champions League. However, how could the hapless Borussia Dortmund meet the favourites Manchester United in the first round of the knockout round?

Stegel is a native of Germany and carries with him the characteristic pragmatism of the Germans. From a pragmatic point of view, Dortmund's first-round elimination is almost a foregone conclusion. Stegel was even calculating a second-leg clash with substitutes against Manchester United. The main team is resting in rotation to prepare for the next round of the Bundesliga. After all, there is no shame in losing to Manchester United in the Champions League. The league title is hopeless, but the runner-up must be kept.

Sometimes, being pragmatic isn't necessarily a good thing. The football stadium is a place where dreams and passion are needed. Sometimes dreams and passions can work wonders.

For example, in the Champions League last season, Manchester United defeated Barcelona with 6 goals at home。。。。。

It's a pity that Dortmund is not Manchester United with old lieutenant Liu Yun.

After taking a three-goal lead, United's superstars played more and more easily.

In the 68th minute, Qu Bo, Lewandowski and Ibrahimovic made a delicate transfer between the three in the penalty area. In the end, Qu Bai completed the fatal blow.

Manchester United 4:0 Borussia Dortmund.

The whole Dream Theater was ecstatic. Liu Xiaoyan cheered like a true die-hard fan.

Liu Yun pinched Xiao Coke's waist with both hands, lifted Meng Meng Xiao Coke up, and faced the green field.

Xiao Cola was not only not afraid of the deafening cheers of tens of thousands of people, but babbled and waved his little hands. It seems that she is also thrilled by Manchester United's goal.

The camera on the big screen of the Dream Theater is given to Liu Yun and Xiao Cola, a father and daughter.

More than 80,000 Red Devils fans saw this scene and cheered again.

I don't know who started it, and the Dream Theater began to set off a spectacular wave of red people. This scene is really wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave. Men's waves, women's waves, old and young, women and children wave together.

In the 70th minute, Jose Mourinho replaced Ibrahimovic with Marouane Fellaini. Jose Mourinho's intention is to strengthen the defence. If Dortmund score a late away goal in a two-legged knockout game, they will have a glimmer of hope of progressing in the next game.

Jose Mourinho is determined to make it to the second leg without any hope for Dortmund.

To Mourinho's surprise, replacing Ibrahimovic and Fellaini instead, Manchester United's attack not only did not weaken, but became stronger.

In the final moments of the game, United won a free-kick from 38 yards out. Marcus Rashford lobbed a free-kick into the Dortmund box, and there was a moment of confusion in the box.

Lewandowski grabbed the spot and shot and bounced off Papastathopoulos. Schmelzer cleared the ball with a big kick, but kicked it off. The ball lands on the line of the six-line penalty area.

In the midst of the chaos, Qu Bai got a chance!

He stabbed a shot from the edge of the six-yard box and the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the Dortmund goal!

The ball is in! 5:0!

In the last few minutes, Dortmund, already stunned, was unable to organize an attack again. With the referee's whistle, Manchester United swept Dortmund 5:0!

Qu Bo scored twice, Lewandowski scored twice, Ibrahimovic contributed a goal... The LIQ combo shines again in this game!

The big-mouthed Dunphy in the comment table exclaimed: "5:0 sweep Dortmund!" Manchester United is now a man blocking and killing, and Zeus is blocking and killing Zeus! It's amazing that just two seasons ago, they were struggling for a place in the Champions League. ”

Mourinho excitedly rushed into the stadium and hugged the players.

In the die-hard stands, Liu Yun's family joined all loyal Manchester United fans in singing "Glory Glory ManUnited".

"Glory to Manchester United and glory to Manchester United. The Red Devils are on their way! Like the Busby kids, we're going to let the Red Devils flag fly high, you see it everywhere, you hear people singing proudly: Manchester United! Manchester United! We are great Manchester United! ”

Manchester United swept Borussia Dortmund 5-0 and almost certainly qualified for the quarter-finals. In the other quarterfinals, there were a few happy and a few sad.

The first leg of this season's Champions League quarterfinals can be said to be frequent.

Sporting Lisbon 1:3 Juventus.

Real Madrid 4:0 Porto.

Arsenal 1:2 Marseille.

Manchester United 5:0 Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea 1:1 Atletico Madrid.

The results of these six games are relatively "normal".

Surprisingly, Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk beat Blue Moon Manchester City 1-0 in Manchester! Serbian side Red Star Belgrade beat AC Milan 2-0 at home!

Although Red Star Belgrade won the Champions League in the 90-91 season, they had the powerful country of the former Yugoslavia behind them.

More than 20 years later, the former Yugoslavia was torn apart, and Serbia experienced years of war. Various factors have contributed to the fact that Red Star Belgrade is not as strong as before.

Who would have thought that they were regarded as the weakest in the round of 16 would beat AC Milan 2-0 at home?

Not to mention the Donetsk miners. Because of the war in Ukraine, they even had to give up their traditional home turf. Kick the ball to the sound of a cannonball exploding!

Even so, they scored a golden goal at Manchester City's home stadium. And keep a clean sheet against the opponent!

The defeat of the weak over the strong sometimes leads to more respect. Liu Yun tweeted after all the first leg of the quarterfinals:

"Congratulations to Red Star Belgrade and Shakhtar Donetsk on their victory. I know that you are fighting for your country! I hope to meet you on the pitch when I come back! ”
