There will be three minutes of stoppage time in the second half. With the referee's whistle, the game ended.

At the same time, the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich ended at the same time. Bayern lost 1-0 at home to Real Madrid. The aggregate score of the two legs, Real Madrid 3:0 Bayern.
Manchester United will meet Real Madrid in this season's Champions League final!
The moment the referee blew the final whistle, the entire Dream Theater turned into a boiling teapot.
The singing of "Glory Glory ManUnited" resounded throughout the audience!
Liu Yun, Ibrahimovic, Jose Mourinho, Bart 。。。。。 Everyone rushed onto the pitch and hugged the players on the pitch.
Gianluigi Buffon lay down in front of the Juventus goal. A strong sense of loss welled up in my heart.
Gianluigi Buffon is hungry for the Champions League, not just for himself, but for his beloved Juventus!
If there is one player in the world who is most loyal to Juventus, it must be Gianluigi Buffon!
In 06, the "phonegate" scandal broke out in Serie A. Juventus were relegated to the second division. Juventus board members resigned en masse. Juventus shares were halted after plunging 10 percent on the Milan Stock Exchange. The old lady was stripped of the league title that had just arrived. The Bianconeri are not relegated to the second division, but they will also be deducted nine points in the new Serie B season.
With the relegation of the team, a large number of Juventus players left for financial gain. Zambrotta and Thuram traveled to Barcelona together. Cannavaro and Emerson arrived at Real Madrid. Patrick Vieira and Ibrahimovic became Inter Milan players.
When the whole world thought that Juventus was going to collapse and become a team in Serie B. Gianluigi Buffon, Nedved, Piero, Camoranesi and Trezeguet have chosen to stay in the team and share the hardships with the team!
With the persistence of Buffon's group, Juventus was deducted 9 points at the beginning of the league, and played a triumphant song all the way, winning the Serie B championship that season and returning to Serie A!
After returning to Serie A, Juventus made a comeback. And this year completed the Serie A seven consecutive championships.
Juventus fans often say that if the loyalists of Gianluigi Buffon and Nedved had followed in the footsteps of Zambrotta, Thuram and others, the Bianconeri might still be playing in the lower Italian leagues today.
Now, the group of loyal superstars in 06 have all retired. Only Buffon was left to fight on the pitch. At the age of 40, he silently defended the Bianconeri goal with only one purpose - and that was to win a Champions League trophy for Juventus!
When Juventus won this season's Serie A ahead of schedule, Buffon was confident about his Champions League journey. Buffon said to himself in his heart: It's Juventus' turn to win the Champions League!
In the first leg of the semi-finals, Juventus led Manchester United 2-0 at home. Buffon even thought: Heh, it doesn't seem like a problem to win Manchester United, and then beat Real Madrid. My 17 seasons with Juventus will be perfect.
Who would have thought that Juventus's opponent Manchester United team has a demon-like old lieutenant Liu Yun!
In the first round, Liu Yun's 30-minute senior joy completely shattered Buffon's dream.
Buffon rose from the turf and leaned against the goalpost. The 80,000 fans at the Theatre of Dreams and all the Red Devils players celebrated wildly, but Gianluigi Buffon ignored them. In his eyes, there was only a sunset in the distance.
David De Gea and Manchester United's new captain Liu Yun did the same thing.
The two men ran to Buffon's side, trying to comfort him.
The stubborn Buffon didn't want his opponent to see the tears that were about to come out of his eyes. He politely smiled at De Gea and Liu Yun, and then walked out lonely.
Ibrahimovic found Liu Yun and hugged Liu Yun: "Liu, my brother, I have a hunch that I will be able to fulfill my dream this year and win the first Champions League title in my life." ”
Liu Yun laughed and said: "If you win the Champions League, you shouldn't retire, right?" ”
Yibu said to Liu Yun solemnly: "No! I will never retire! As long as you don't retire at the age of 46, I won't retire at the age of 36! ”
The excited fans, like Ibrahimovic, seemed to have seen the moment when United lifted the Champions League trophy.
The lasted a full hour. Officials had to come on the pitch to remind Mourinho that it was past the time to hold a press conference. You have to go to the press room right away, otherwise UEFA will impose a heavy penalty on Manchester United.
Mu Shuai then brought the captain Liu Yun and Ibu to the press room.
In normal times, whenever there is a game in which the old lieutenant Liu Yun participates, the focus of the post-game press conference must be the old lieutenant.
This time, however, was different. The focus became Buffon.
"Hello Buffon. I'm a journalist for Sport Milano. There is news that you will retire at the end of the season. I wonder if this news is true? ”
Buffon's words were groundbreaking: "Retire? Where did you get your news from? How did I not know I was retiring? I have renewed my contract with Juventus for 3 years! I will play for Juventus for at least three more seasons. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the press room. Renewal for 3 years? This is really big news. You know, 3 years later, Buffon will be 43 years old! By then, he will play for Juventus for 20 full seasons! 20 seasons, that's two generations of players on the football field!
Buffon seemed to see the surprise of a group of media reporters.
He pointed to Liu Yun beside him and said lightly: "There is nothing surprising about this. This 46-year-old man next to me has scored 48 goals in 36 Premier League games. 21 goals in 12 games in the Champions League. This proves that the football field is not necessarily the world of young people! I'm six years younger than him, and I'm nowhere near the time to retire! ”
"Hello Buffon. I'm a journalist for the newspaper Marca. What do you think of Juventus' defeat? ”
Gianluigi Buffon's answer was apt: "Football is like that, there are wins and losses. I'm not ashamed to lose to a strong, LIL-owned Manchester United. ”
"We all know that in your career, you have won all the accolades you can get, including the Hercules Cup. The only thing missing is a Champions League trophy. This is the end of Juve's Champions League journey, do you have any regrets? ”
Buffon smiled bitterly: "Regret? It's not a pity to lose to Manchester United! My teammates and I have done our best, what is there to regret? The crux of the matter is that Manchester United have a giant like the old lieutenant! In the face of the giants, all our efforts have been in vain, but this effort is worth it! ”
"Hello De Gea. I'm a reporter for The Sun. I would like to ask, you took off your gloves and gave Buffon a thumbs up before he took the penalty. Is this a psychological warfare interference with Buffon? ”
De Gea's words moved the reporters.
"Nope! Not psychological warfare! That's my homage to Buffon, my idol from my youth! Of course, the best way to worship a person is to defeat him! I saved the penalty from my teenage idol today and I'm so proud! ”
