In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Manchester City were not in a hurry to attack, they played a defensive counterattack.

Anyway, it's Manchester United who are in a hurry to score goals now, not them.

Manchester United were really anxious, 4-1 on aggregate, still three goals short, and City had an away goal, meaning United had to score four goals in the second half or be knocked out.

It's an almost impossible task.

But after Alex Ferguson's half-time rant, the United players mustered up the courage and fighting spirit to launch a fierce attack on the Manchester City goal in the second half.

At the same time, the United fans in the stands cheered on their team with almost crazy singing.

Being eliminated from the Champions League by a rival in the same city, Manchester United fans will never accept such a thing!

But the reality is cruel and it doesn't matter if Manchester United fans accept it or not.

In the second half, Manchester City continued to play their defensive counter-attacks. Manchester United had some chances, but they were all wasted because of their impatience.

The camera showed Ferguson's face in the coach's seat many times, and the frequency of the gentleman's chewing gum became faster and faster, which also showed how nervous and anxious he was inside.

This is too cruel for a person who has undergone heart bypass surgery......

The TV broadcast even captured a close-up.

That's Ferguson's hand.

As he looked at the pitch, his mouth kept chewing gum, and instead of giving Ferguson's face, the camera shot suddenly cut to Ferguson's hand.

You can see Ferguson's hands clenched into fists on his thighs, ...... Shiver!

This action made many Manchester United fans feel sad.

The old coach has led Manchester United across the Premier League for almost 20 years, and has won countless championships.

But now, it seems that the time has really come when he can't get past it......

He Ping, the Chinese commentator who was commenting the game, was also very emotional: "Since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world...... When Alex Ferguson led Manchester United to dominate English football, how many people could have imagined that one day, they would be able to see the old coach so powerless? I don't think Ferguson would have been willing to let people see it if he had chosen to broadcast it......"

The scene of Ferguson's shaking hands may have made Manchester City fans feel compassionate.

But the Manchester City players were playing and they couldn't see the close-ups in the live broadcast.

The Manchester City players are still dutifully on the pitch to complete the task that Benitez has given them - to defend and counter-attack.

With the passage of time, the hearts of the Manchester City players are now relaxed.

They all know that the balance of victory is completely tilted in their side, and time is running out for Manchester United.

"Time is running out and Manchester United still can't get past Manchester City...... We can already confirm that the first team to reach the Champions League final will be Manchester City! ”

Five minutes after John Mortensen said this, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

Manchester City's substitutes rushed onto the pitch to celebrate their promotion to the final at Old Trafford!

"It's over! Manchester City FC has reached the Champions League final for the first time in their history! Congratulations! They were the first team to make it to Wembley! When the time comes, I think Wembley will become the home of Manchester City! ”

It was away from home, so the cheers after the game were not loud, but there were plenty of boos – which, of course, were not for the United players who were knocked out of the tournament, but for Manchester City fans.

Manchester United fans were upset to see Manchester City celebrate on their turf.

The Manchester City players also felt the hostility from the United fans, but they did not rush to end the celebrations and return to the visiting dressing room.

Instead, they continued to celebrate the victory on the pitch and waved their thanks to the Manchester City fans who came to support them on the road.

It wasn't until the thanks were over that they returned to the locker room.

The door was closed, and most of the noise outside was blocked out.

The Manchester City players are excited to reach the Champions League final, with a relaxed atmosphere and a relaxed atmosphere.

Under such circumstances, Rongguang suddenly walked to the center of the locker room, and then said to everyone: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet." ”

Seeing this, the players all quieted down and turned their heads to look at the glory, wanting to hear what their captain had to say.

'We've reached the Champions League final but I still don't think it's time to celebrate. So please forgive me for coming out at this time to pour cold water on everyone - if we end up losing to our opponents in the final, then our celebration will become a joke now. ”

The team-mates listened quietly to their captain's speech, and no one questioned it - why do other teams celebrate for so long when they reach the Champions League final, when we do?

It's not that they're hiding their doubts, it's because they don't think there's anything to doubt about them.

They already know a lot about the captain Rong.

Rongguang's consistent high standards and strict requirements are also familiar to everyone.

This kind of thing is really not inconsistent at all when it comes out of the mouth of glory. In Rongguang's view, reaching the final but not winning the championship is a complete failure, even worse than being eliminated in the group stage. Because according to his philosophy, since he has entered the finals, he must have come to win the championship, why not win the championship and enter the finals? Is that runner-up worthy of the hard work and sweat that he put in to reach the finals?

"So, if you want to celebrate, we will celebrate when we win the Champions League, which is the first Champions League in Manchester City's history!"

While Manchester City fans are still rejoicing about their historic run to the Champions League final and are too excited to sleep, the Manchester City players have reined in their nerves and are preparing for the final showdown.

The next night, another Champions League semi-final was over.

Barcelona, who returned to their home stadium, beat Schalke 04 4-1.

In the end, they eliminated Schalke 04 with a score of 6:1 and entered the final.

However, Barcelona's elimination of Schalke 04 was not a big deal, and after the first leg, everyone thought that Barcelona would definitely progress to the final.

Now it just confirms everyone's judgment.

The thing that really interests everyone is Messi.

Just when the European media and fans around the world began to debate whether the glory was stronger or Messi was stronger. Messi responded to the world with a hat-trick.

Combined with the previous brace, Messi has now scored five goals in the semi-finals.

And he has already scored 14 goals in the Champions League this season!

This figure is that he surpassed the glory of scoring thirteen goals to become the top scorer in the Champions League.

At the same time, this figure is also Messi's most goals in a single season since participating in the Champions League.

Of course, if not the glory, Messi will also equal the record for the most goals scored in a single season in Champions League history - former AC Milan goalscorer Altafini's record of 14 goals.

It's a pity that this record has long been lost. In the 2006-2007 season, when Bayern Munich won the Champions League, Glory scored 17 goals in all 13 Champions League games. In one fell swoop, Altafini raised his record by a hat-trick gap......

Unless Messi scores a hat-trick in the Champions League final, he won't even be able to equalle the record of glory.

This figure is not even possible if you want to finish second in the Champions League single-season goals list, and the second place is still a glory - fifteen goals.

In fact, the media does not pay much attention to whether Messi can break the glorious single-season goal record, and the hope of this is too slim......

Everyone is more concerned about who will win the top scorer in the Champions League this season between Messi and Glory.

This is the most realistic and eye-catching question, and it is second only to Manchester City and Barcelona who will win the Champions League.

Because since Rongguang participated in the Champions League, as long as he participated, he was the top scorer in the Champions League and never missed.

Even after missing half a season in 2007-2008 with a serious injury, he was the top scorer in the Champions League that season with nine goals in the group stage - and the eventual title winner was Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese with eight goals, one less than Glory.

He later moved to Manchester City and did not play in the Champions League in his first season, where the top scorer was Lionel Messi.

That season, Messi won the Champions League with Barcelona, and Messi scored nine goals in the Champions League and was the top scorer.

At that time, there were also media jokes that after the glory was gone, everyone was a little unaccustomed to the Champions League's top scorer scoring in the single digits......

Last season, Glory returned to the Champions League with Manchester City, and although Manchester City eventually fell in the semi-finals, Glory regained his position as the top scorer in the Champions League. He's scored a staggering fifteen!

He was just two goals away from his zào record.

Later, everyone thought that if Manchester City finally reached the final, Rongguang would at least be able to equal his own record of 17 goals, and maybe he could set a new record.

As long as you are glorious to participate in the Champions League, you can win the top scorer in the Champions League.

Not even if anyone could get close to him.

In the 2007-2008 season, if it weren't for Glory's serious injury and missing all the Champions League knockout games, Cristiano Ronaldo's eight goals would not have been able to chase glory.

Now, there is finally a person who can surpass the glory in the Champions League scorer list!

So will Glory lose the glorious tradition of "as long as he plays in the Champions League, he will be sure to be the top scorer"?

The duel between two superstars will ultimately be judged in this most intuitive way, and it's really something to look forward to.

And perhaps the Mars-on-Earth clash between these two players will ultimately determine who wins this season's Champions League.

Their outstanding performance will be the crown jewel of their respective teams' accession to the throne!
