Athletic Stadium, Turin, Italy. The first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Juventus VS Manchester United!

The Athletic Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, is known as the strongest devil's home stadium in the whole of Italy.

Players from both sides have entered the tunnel of players.

SKY TV's big-mouthed Dunphy and Fat Bob are still the live commentators for the game.

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "We've got the starting line-up for both sides. On the Juventus side, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, back four Alex, Chiellini, Bernardia, Stunodo. In the midfield position, Pjanic partnered Khedira. Dybala at the front. Cuatrado, Mandzukizi and Higuain make up the line of attack. ”

Fat Bob continued: "On Manchester United's side, goalkeeper David De Gea, Valencia is still leading the defensive line, Bailly, Lindelof, Phil Jones. Nemanja Matic partnered Pogba in the back two. But up front, Marcus Rashford. Up front, it will cause problems for Juve's reinforced concrete defense! ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "The return of the old lieutenant does not surprise us. How could a tough guy like him miss such an important game? The old lieutenant will replace Valencia today and wear the captain's armband for Manchester United. He is now a hero at the Theatre of Dreams and a worthy leader in the Manchester United dressing room! ”

Inside the Players' Tunnel.

Next to Liu Yun stood Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon.

The 40-year-old Buffon is only six years old from the 46-year-old lieutenant. The two are similar in age, but in different situations. One is to silently stick to the Athletic Stadium for the dream of the Champions League. One is just starting his dream journey at the age of 45.

Buffon took the initiative to extend his hand to the old lieutenant Liu Yun: "Hello, old lieutenant. ”

"Hello Buffon!" Liu Yun said.

"Oh, old lieutenant, I've been following you for most of the season! I'm sure I'll be able to tell which way to shoot at you! Buffon said confidently.

Liu Yun smiled bitterly: "I have already followed you。。。。。 20 years of competition! ”

As soon as Liu Yun said this, the players on both sides in the player tunnel burst into laughter.

Players from both sides enter and the game begins!

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the two sides were only tentative attacks.

Liu Yun clearly felt that Juventus's so-called reinforced concrete defense line did live up to its name. The 34-year-old is a seasoned veteran, fierce in tackles and top-notch in positioning. As the main defender of Juventus and the Italian national team, he is definitely a first-class central defender in Europe.

Juve's other centre-back, Benatia, is 31 years old and an experienced veteran. He has a knack for intercepting the ball with all sorts of unconventional moves – suddenly he will use one leg to reach at his opponent's feet from an uncanny angle. And his speed is extremely fast, and his ability to chase back is extremely strong.

In the 12th minute, Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford was the first to learn from Chiellini.

Marcus Rashford advances with the ball in front. Chiellini stepped up decisively and a ferocious frontal tackle cut it off.

After Chiellini broke the ball, he played a long pass directly to provoke a counterattack. He has a clear vision and a long ball goes straight to Cuadrado on the right.

Cuadrado received the ball and accelerated down the flank, and Pogba stepped up. Cuadrado decisively hoisted the ball 45 degrees into the box.

Higuain volleys without stopping! It's a pity that the ball was kicked. The ball was put into anti-aircraft guns.

Higuain's shot shocked the Manchester United players into a cold sweat.

Fat Bob explained: "The 34-year-old Chiellini is still in hot form! That steal was clean. And his vision is clear, and after the steal, he directly makes a precise long pass to Cuadrado on the wing。。。。。。 Not at all like a 34-year-old player. ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy laughed and said, "Ha, Bob, you're so good at kidding!" A 34-year-old player? You know, there are now 46-year-old lieutenants, 40-year-old Buffon, 37-year-old Ibrahimovic... Compared to them, Chiellini is not an older player. ”

As the game continued, United gradually adapted to Juve's rhythm.

In the 18th minute, the old lieutenant Liu Yun got the ball in the frontcourt!

Pjanic defends Liu Yun head-on!

Pjanic's interception ability is also among the best in Europe.

In the face of Pjanic, Liu Yun directly used a fancy passing move. The back foot knocks the ball over!

"Ha, the old lieutenant is in a state of coming up, and no one can stop him! In such an important game as the Champions League semi-finals, he actually used a knock ball to pass people! It's so confident! The big-mouthed Dunphy commented.

After Liu Yun passed Pjanic, he faced Benatia! He used a Matthews feint to get past Benatia!

Juventus coach Allegri was surprised in the dugout. Before the game, he took the backline players to study the old lieutenant's game footage. He also knows that the old lieutenant is now one of the best strikers in the entire five leagues. Watching a video and watching it live are two different things. The old lieutenant easily passed his own defense general, and Allegri was deeply shocked!

Allegri wondered: Why did he score 46 goals in more than 30 league games? Why was he able to reverse the big Barcelona with the help of a Jedi? This 46-year-old player is indeed like an old monster on the green field! Such a fiery state, even at the peak of Maradona, was it just like that?

Fat Bob in the comment table said: "It seems that the old lieutenant is recovering very well from his injury!" I've completely regained my pre-injury form! ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy is now a fan of the old lieutenant: "The old lieutenant, whether he is injured or not, is an artist on the green field!" ”

Liu Yun passed Benatia and had advanced to the front of the penalty area.

Juve's defenders have also returned to the box.

Liu Yun saw that there were no good chances, so he decisively distributed the ball to Lukaku on the right side!

Romelu Lukaku won the ball and broke through Alex's defence and crossed directly to Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic gets up under Chiellini's close defence! The ball flies straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!

At the critical moment, the veteran captain of the Bianconeri Buffon showed his agile and steady side! Buffon pounces sideways and keeps the ball firmly under him!

The 40-year-old super-old goalkeeper still has first-class goal-line skills among goalkeepers in the five major leagues.

Juventus coach Allegri in the dugout breathed a sigh of relief. With Buffon here, the team is like an extra needle!

The big-mouthed Dunphy on the commentary table said: "Buffon is indeed old and strong!" Like the old lieutenants, all the players on the field who are still in their 40s should earn our respect. ”

Fat Bob said, "Yes. I don't know if the 46-year-old lieutenant will be able to break through the gate guarded by the 40-year-old Buffon in the next game! ”

In the next 20 minutes of the game, the two sides attacked and defended each other. In this game, Manchester United's much-criticized backline this season did not make any major mistakes. Juventus didn't get too good a chance.

Before you know it, the game time came to the 38th minute of the first half.
