As the weekend passed, Barcelona's massacre of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu subsided, and the second leg of the Champions League semi-final arrived, and the media's attention shifted to the Champions League.

Judging from the current situation, Chelsea, who drew 0-0 away at Barcelona in the first leg, and Manchester United, who drew 1-1 with Liverpool, are more dominant, which means that the two teams, both away and then home, look more likely to qualify.

Speaking to reporters, Ferguson said: "We already have a huge advantage in the first leg and Manchester United will be in the final again. In the last few years we were unlucky, we lost a couple of good games, but now we are away from those bad luck, and it's time for us to win the championship. ”

'In terms of the quality of the team, we're not going to win [the Champions League] as many times as we should, and if I can, I'd like to win two more [Champions Leagues] before I retire."

Ferguson also spoke about his succession: "I like Jose Mourinho a lot, he's a good guy and I get along well with him, but it's not up to me to decide who will be the next [Manchester United manager]. ”

Ferguson's words opened up the words of both sides, and the players of both teams came out to express their positions.

Liu Ting said in front of reporters: "He wants to win two Champions League titles and then retire? If that's the case, he'll never want to retire, because two Champions League titles are out of the question for United. ”

Liu Ting is honest, once Ronaldo leaves, Manchester United will not have a chance to win the Champions League in a short period of time. And at present, everyone who understands knows that Ronaldo will definitely go to Real Madrid in the summer. Relying on Rooney Lu Chubby to lead the team to win the Champions League? It would be better to believe that the sow will go up the tree.

The Champions League matchday is just around the corner, with Liverpool's away game against Manchester United the day before and Barcelona away at Chelsea the day after.

Either way, all those who follow football have turned their attention to England, to Manchester and London.

Liverpool recently signed a contract extension with Agger and Carragher, Carragher will be old to Anfield for the rest of his life, and Agger was not lured away by AC Milan, which is a good thing before the game.

Manchester United also seemed to be doing it, Manchester United also announced at this time that Rooney's contract extension had been completed, and Rooney's weekly salary would be increased to 120,000 pounds, and Rooney also said happily: "I will only play for Manchester United in the rest of my career." ”

Rooney doesn't know yet, when Mourinho goes to coach Manchester United, do you think Manchester United still has your place?

Liverpool finally confirmed the squad, but Torres was still unable to play due to injury and was not included in the squad at all.

On Manchester United's side, Rio Ferdinand, who had strained his muscles in the first leg, was not as serious as he imagined, and was likely to play in the second leg, which became one of the reasons why Liverpool was not favored.

On the evening of May 5, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals Liverpool played Manchester United away.

The two teams were warming up before the game on the field, and Zhan Jun was commenting on the starters: "In today's game, both teams are in a 442 formation, the starting lineup of the away team Liverpool is goalkeeper Reina, the back four are Gareth Bell, Carragher, Ague and Arbeloa, the four midfielders are Mascherano, Xavi Alonso, Gerrard and Modric, Liu Ting and Kuyt partner in the attack. The home team Manchester United started goalkeeper Van der Sar, the back four Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic and O'Shea, Ferdinand who went off injured in the first leg also returned, Evra was also a little injured in the league at the weekend, and now it seems that it is not a big problem, Manchester United's four midfielders are Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson and Park Ji-sung, Rooney and Ronaldo play double striker. ”

The two teams stood on the pitch waiting for kick-off, Liu Ting could hear the scolding from the Manchester United fans in the stadium, and almost the whole Liverpool team from the coaching staff to every player was insulted.

When he was at home, Liu Ting felt that it was very interesting to watch the opposing players being scolded by his own fans, and now when it comes to the away game, especially in an important game like the Champions League semifinals, it is never interesting to be scolded by the opposing fans.

Celebrity stars were also present for the game, with David Beckham also returning to Old Trafford to watch the game.

Sometimes the football world is small, and it's still a few people who go around, and sometimes it's so big that once you leave, you can't come back.

David Beckham left Manchester United in 03, and now 6 years later, Beckham has never played against Manchester United, nor has he returned to Old Trafford to play, and some fans who miss him are ready to wait for him to return to the game to welcome him to the game, but they have not been able to finish.

At the beginning of the game, both teams tested each other first.

In the first five minutes, neither team had a shot on goal.

In the first leg, Liverpool drew 1-1 at home to Manchester United, and if this game ended 0-0, Liverpool would be eliminated due to away goals, so Manchester United can drag it slowly, but Liverpool must attack and must have goals.

In the 7th minute, Liu Ting and Gerrard hit the wall in front of the field and then shot the penalty line, the ball hit Vidic and deflected, and Liverpool won the first corner.

Xavi Alonso's corner kick was driven and Kuyt was judged to have fouled the goalkeeper in the middle of the spot.

This is at Old Trafford, and United will not be passively defensive.

In the 9th minute, Rooney passed to Anderson on the left side of the penalty area, and if the pass was successful, Anderson would form a single knife against offside, and Xiao Ma made a key interception to destroy the ball.

Both teams are starting to get into shape, with Manchester United threatening both Liverpool goals with home advantage.

In the 12th minute, Ronaldo broke through Bale's cross on the left side, Carragher fell in defense and gave the opponent a chance, Park Ji-sung fell to the ground and shoveled, Reina couldn't react to the shot, but Ague blocked the ball on the goal line.

The Manchester United players told the referee that the ball had crossed the line in its entirety, and the referee listened to the linesman's opinion that the ball had not crossed the line and Liverpool escaped.

Alan Hansen said: "Ag saved the team, he provided an own goal for Manchester United in the last leg and he redeemed it this time, if it wasn't for him Liverpool would have conceded. ”

Liverpool also avoided the first day of junior high and did not avoid fifteen, and soon really lost the goal.

In the 15th minute, Steven Gerrard fouled Cristiano Ronaldo at the back and United were awarded a free-kick from 32 yards out.

Although the position is relatively positive, this distance is already a bit far, but the whole Liverpool team is still serious about organizing the human wall, and everyone knows that Ronaldo has a beautiful free kick.

But in the end, he couldn't stop Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in good form, and he kicked a beautiful defoliating ball in the world, and Reyna couldn't save it to see the ball go into the net.

Reina's form in this game was not as good as the last game at home, otherwise he should have saved this kind of long-distance free kick, after all, the distance gives the goalkeeper more time to react.

Being beaten by the opposing star's star with a world wave is indeed a morale blow.

The commentary on the local television station in Manchester said: "Ronaldo's world wave, another goal in the 15th minute of the first half, history repeats itself, and Manchester United have a good chance of reaching the Champions League final again." ”

The game restarted, United began to control the tempo, and a one-goal lead was not a insurance, but it was always a lead.

Last year, Manchester United drew away to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, and returned to the home stadium in the 15th minute of the first half, with a goal from Paul Scholes beating Barcelona 1-0 to advance, and now it is the 15th minute to break through the opponent's goal, which makes Manchester United fans happy and looking forward to defending the Champions League.

Manchester United wanted to slow down the tempo, while Liverpool were looking for a chance to score, and Liverpool needed just one goal to equalise and even cancel out away goals.

In the 19th minute, Kuyt passed the ball, and Liu Ting's powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area was saved by Van der Sar. The corner kicks in and Gerrard's header goes wide.

In the following minutes, United began to use a midfield strangulation to stop Liverpool from rising, which contained Liverpool to a certain extent.

Perhaps due to the recent European debate about whether a Chelsea-style defence should not be punished, today's Italian referee Rossetti did not tolerate a relatively large foul, and in 10 minutes Manchester United's Fletcher and Anderson received yellow cards in succession, and United had to consider the cost of continuing to strangle like this.

It didn't help for Ferguson to get angry on the sidelines, and the Italian clearly didn't have that much 'respect' for Ferguson, who only coached in the Premier League.

After receiving a series of yellow cards at home, the United players were a little impetuous, and Liverpool seized the opportunity.

In the 32nd minute, Ronaldo's powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area failed to hit the world wave again, and the ball was confiscated by Reina.

Liu Ting immediately ran towards the United half, which was an opportunity to counter-attack.

Reina drove out directly, Liu Ting quickly ran to the front court to catch the ball, Carrick rushed over to stop Liu Ting, Liu Ting stopped the ball lightly and pulled the ball, and even stopped past Carrick.

Passed Carrick to the penalty area line, Ferdinand came to press, Liu Ting smashed the ball twice in a row and dunked the opponent, did not choose to enter the penalty area, Manchester United There are several defenders in the penalty area, Liu Ting directly kicked on the penalty area line.

Liu ...... Hanging shot! ”

Liu Ting felt that he was in good shape today, and did not continue to enter the penalty area or wait for his teammates to come up, and chose to shoot into the far corner with a lob. The ball leaped high into the air in a clear arc towards the top right corner of the goal, and Van der Sar had plenty of time to move and jump, but he jumped up but couldn't touch the ball, and the ball flew just past his fingers into the corner of the goal.

“goooooooooooal！！！ Liu! A beautiful hanging door, a wonderful hanging shot! Liverpool equalised and offset the threat of away goals. Alan Hansen roared.

Zhan Jun said: "Liu Ting's goal helped Liverpool equalize, and at the same time the aggregate score was also equalized, both teams have an away goal, if this score remains until the end of 90 minutes, the two teams will play extra time, extra time can not change the score, then there is only a penalty shootout." ”

Liu Ting, who scored the goal, raced around the stadium and ignored the boos of the United fans.

Hansen continued: "This is the sixth time Liu has scored against Manchester United, he played against Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup for Bordeaux at the beginning of this season, and in that game he beat Manchester United with a hat-trick to help Bordeaux win, after coming to Liverpool, Liverpool scored a goal in the 4-1 away win over Manchester United in the league, also scored a goal in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, and now has another goal, Liu has scored Manchester United six times in one season, and six times against Van der Sar's goal. ”

"Liu has become the player who has scored the most goals for Manchester United in a season, before Henry and Raul have scored 4 goals in a season, Raul has scored 4 goals for Manchester United in two Champions League games, but they have scored for one team, Liu has scored 6 goals for Manchester United for both teams in one season, 3 goals for Bordeaux, and now 3 goals for Liverpool."

"We can say that Liu is the real Manchester United killer."

Liverpool equalised, Heynckes was so happy that he shook his fists and the assistant coach on the sidelines to celebrate, Ferguson was so angry that he smashed the water bottle, and the goal scored by Liverpool made Manchester United's situation not very good, and Liverpool's current goal is every away goal, which is by no means good news for Manchester United.

Liverpool, who equalised, took advantage of the situation to attack again, but Manchester United defended solidly under Ferguson's arrangement and did not give Liverpool a chance.

The first half was then drained by both teams, who returned to the dressing room with a 1-1 draw, but the tide of life now turned in Liverpool's favour.
