Chapter 327: Intense
On May 7, in the 36th round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Arsenal away.
Although Arsenal has been hovering in the third or fourth place in the league over the years, it has the nickname of "fighting for the four", and various jokes have emerged in endlessly, but this season, they are still in sixth place, and there is still a five-point gap with the fourth Manchester City.
Not only the fans, but also Ozil and Sanchez in their squad are likely to choose to move because they will not be able to play in the Champions League next season.
So every game is important for Arsenal now and they have to take every chance at the last minute to squeeze into the top four.
The latter games are just as important for Manchester United, and now is a crucial time for them to compete with Chelsea for the title, they are only two points ahead of Chelsea, so they can't afford to lose every game!
Of course, they could allow a draw because of their absolute goal difference, but then they would have to rely on goal difference to suppress Chelsea.
The importance of this game for the two teams determines that this game must be a very fierce confrontation.
In fact, after the start of the game, there was no temptation on both sides, and the most fierce attack was launched.
In the 11th minute, Manchester United's Paul Pogba opened the scoring with a goal.
In the 25th minute, Sanchez received a pass from Mesut Ozil and fired a shot into the goal of David De Gea to help Arsenal equalise.
In the 40th minute, Arsenal's Welbeck scored a goal to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead!
This finally made the Arsenal fans a little happier, and it seemed that they saw a team victory.
However, at half-time, Manchester United's side made adjustments, and in the second half, it seemed like a different team, suppressing Arsenal.
In the 64th minute, Marcus Rashford scored a goal after Shen Peng attracted a large number of defenders.
So far, the two teams have played to a 2-2 draw.
In the 71st minute, Shen Peng took advantage of the inattention of Arsenal's defenders, ran with the ball all the way, and then scored a single goal.
In the 76th minute, United took advantage of the win and scored another goal from substitute Wayne Rooney.
In the end, Manchester United fell behind 1-2 in the first half and scored three goals in the second half to win 4-2 against Arsenal.
Two days later, Chelsea also won 3-0 against Middlesbrough, so the difference between the two teams is still two points, and with two league games remaining and three games remaining, the title is still in suspense.
On May 10, in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Real Madrid away.
The outside world is more consistent in this game, most people are artificial Real Madrid can win, the bookmaker gives Real Madrid to win the odds is one to seven, the odds of a draw is one to three to three, and the odds to lose are one to five to four.
It can be seen that even if Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Barcelona, few people still thought they could beat Real Madrid.
In the first half of the game, as expected, Real Madrid took the initiative and constantly attacked Paris Saint-Germain's goal, but after the first leg of the game, Paris Saint-Germain's defense was obviously much more stable, and it still kept no goals in the bombardment of Real Madrid.
In this way, the two teams entered the second half with a score of 0-0.
At the start of the second half, PSG launched a fast attack, and finally scored a goal in a goalmouth scuffle.
As a result, the two teams are tied 3-3 on aggregate, but Real Madrid have three away goals, and it was Paris Saint-Germain who were eliminated by this scoreline, so they must score one more goal to win 4-3 on aggregate.
However, Real Madrid were careful after Mbappe's goal, and with Ronaldo Benzema's threat up front, Paris Saint-Germain never scored again.
In this way, as the minutes passed, the players of Real Madrid were all people who were used to seeing big scenes, so they were able to maintain their form in the current situation that was unstable for them.
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain's side may be so close to the Champions League final for the first time, so the players' performance is slowly out of shape.
Seeing the appearance of the players, the new head coach Unai Emery, who had just arrived at Paris Saint-Germain this season, hurriedly commanded loudly on the sidelines, and from time to time pulled the players who were closer to him to tell them to pay attention to adjusting their mentality.
The game lasted until the 80th minute, when the score was still 0-1.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Mbappe suddenly walked up to a few teammates and whispered something in their ears.
The TV camera happened to capture this scene, and Shen Peng saw this scene and thought about it.
Before, he was not optimistic about Paris Saint-Germain, but after seeing Mbappe's actions just now, he had a strange feeling, remembering some situations where he used to train with Mbappe.
Maybe...... Does he really have a way?
The game is getting closer and closer to the end, although Real Madrid has been attacking, but the players of Paris Saint-Germain are desperately defending, as long as there is an opportunity, they will fight tirelessly, not at all like they have played 90 minutes, if there is no knowing, they think they have doped.
So Real Madrid don't defend a little temperlessly, and they haven't scored.
In the 88th minute, Ronaldo saw only in the big penalty area and the small penalty area, and suddenly got up to shoot when he found an opportunity!
This kick is very tricky, the ball rolls to the far corner of the goal, and the fans on the scene are also excited at this moment, as long as this goal is scored, then Real Madrid has already sealed the victory - Paris Saint-Germain to score two goals in less than five minutes, it is almost impossible, even if they score one goal, Real Madrid has 10,000 ways to drag the rest of the time over!
However, although the goal went past Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Trapp, but when it was about to roll into the goal, it was stopped in front of the goal line by the left wing-back Kurzava who drove back!
At this time, Trapp rushed over, and instead of holding the ball and lying on the ground as usual, waiting for everyone around him to leave, he started directly and kicked the ball to the front court with a big foot!
On the left side of the pitch to be exact!
There was no one at the landing point of this ball, so the players around who were not far from the landing point, no matter which team it was, all ran over, but among these figures, there was one who took the lead, surpassed everyone, and grabbed the ball first!
