Arsenal did not cause much trouble for Manchester United.

Facing Manchester United, which is all in the main force, or at Old Trafford, Arsenal did not take advantage of the slightest.

At full-time, United won 2-0.

Arsenal have lost all hope of fighting for a top-four finish after losing this game, and they will have to go all out to win Liverpool in the Europa League if they want to compete for a Champions League place next season.

……

On May 2, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

The draw for the Champions League semi-finals was that Manchester United vs Barcelona was home and away; Paris Saint-Germain vs. Tottenham, away first and then home; The winner of Manchester United and Barcelona will be the home of the final.

So the game is Manchester United against Barcelona at Old Trafford.

Shen Peng previously led Dortmund to defeat Barcelona at that time, stepped on Barcelona's corpse to win the Champions League, and achieved the treble.

So this game is also the "revenge battle" that many Barcelona fans want, they hope that Barcelona, who have performed well in the league this year, beat Manchester United, who are now in the limelight, and then win the Champions League, so that they will win the treble for the second time because they have already won the league in advance, and the Copa del Rey has beaten Sevilla to win the title.

Moreover, they also hope that PSG will beat Tottenham on the other side, and then they will beat PSG in the final to avenge last year's Champions League xenophobia, and also declare to Neymar, whom they see as a traitor: Look! We would have won the Champions League without you!

But the game didn't turn out the way they thought it would.

After Neymar left this year, Barcelona introduced Coutinho, Dembele, Paulinho and other strong reinforcements one after another, but in the face of Manchester United's lineup, they still have no good way.

In this game, Shen Peng didn't need to defend Messi like he did against Barcelona before, what he had to do was to take precautions in the midfield and wait for an opportunity to attack.

Now his attack has Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt, so he is more powerful, when he attacks, there are more players who can involve the opponent, and if he returns to defend Messi, he will be a little reluctant to go far.

The first half of the game has been going on for nearly half of the time, Barcelona has not had any good chances, but Manchester United has a few good chances, but two of the goals that are very likely to be scored have hit the post, which makes many Manchester United fans on the scene a little depressed, if these two goals are scored, wouldn't it be a 2-0 lead now?

Barcelona's chance came in the 31st minute.

Messi dribbled through his own on the right flank and managed to pull the Manchester United defence, and then when everyone thought he was going to continue to break through, he suddenly got up and crossed to Suarez lurking in the box!

Suarez ran to the ball, then jumped up in the six-yard box, looked back at the moon and headed the ball towards the goal!

A header at this distance was almost a must-go, but De Gea jumped like a god at this time, and instinctively slapped the ball out with one palm!

Barcelona coach Valverde, who was on the sidelines, had already opened his hands ready to celebrate the goal, and his hands stopped in mid-air.

He didn't expect De Gea to even save this goal!

David De Gea's brilliant play was just a small episode, and it didn't take long for Barcelona to get another good chance.

This time, it was Shen Peng who was surrounded by the other three outside the big forbidden area.

In the face of this kind of formation, Shen Peng can't do anything, but he has three people here, so there are fewer defenders in other positions, so he glanced at the corner of his eye and found that Rashford's position was good.

Now all teams know about Shen Peng's cooperation with Rashford, so even if Shen Peng passes the ball out, there are still two players who follow him closely, for fear that when Rashford passes the ball back.

If it were a normal day, Rashford would have really passed back, but at this time he was in a good position and the distance from the goal was also appropriate, so after receiving the ball, he shot directly in the direction from which the ball came!

The ball arced and flew straight into the corner of the goal!

This time, the ball never hit the post again, but smashed into the net.

After seeing the goal, the home fans finally started to celebrate.

In this game, whether it is from the process and the current score, Manchester United has the upper hand!

So in the hearts of many fans, Manchester United has half a foot in the final!

Over the years, Barcelona and Real Madrid have been the representatives of the top teams in Europe, and Manchester United has shown their strength in the Champions League knockout rounds, knocking out these two teams one after another, and they are the best in Europe!

Of course, the game is not over yet, this game is only the first leg, and a team like Barcelona can't be paced by common sense, as they lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout rounds of the Champions League last season and almost came back when they returned home.

So, these fans started cheering for the team, which is their best result in the Champions League in recent years, and if they can reach the top of Europe again, many fans will probably wake up laughing.

The first half ended quickly, Barcelona also had some small chances behind, but they didn't score, and Manchester United, under the frequent impact of the "four forwards", also got a lot of chances, but they didn't score, and Lady Luck didn't seem to be on their side in this game.

When the United players returned to the dressing room, they could still hear the cheers outside.

After all, it was United's last real home game in the Champions League, and it was a way for fans to show their support.

In the second half, the performance of the Manchester United players did not live up to the expectations of the fans.

In the 61st minute, Shen Peng picked up a pass to the other side, Ibrahimovic jumped up and looked like a header, but it was actually a leak, and the ball finally fell in front of Aubameyang on the right, and Aubameyang shoveled the ball into the goal with a tackle.

Two to zero.

In the 77th minute, Aubameyang found an opportunity, broke through with the ball all the way, and then passed the ball to Rashford, and Rashford was guarded more tightly because of the goal before, but after he received the ball in front of Aubameyang, he did not delay half a second, and knocked his heel directly, and the ball rolled towards Shen Peng who ran out behind as if it had eyes.

Then it was simple, Shen Peng found a gap, and with a powerful volley, the ball flew into the goal without accident.
