Chapter 373: The Price of Defending the Title

"Messi walked to the penalty spot, took the penalty himself, and pushed it into the bottom right corner...... Van der Sar, Van der Sar made the right judgment, he blocked Messi's penalty, he denied Messi's penalty! Fantastic save, Van der Sar saves Manchester United......"

"Good!"

Prince William, who was a little restless in the box, saw Van der Sar save Messi's penalty kick, as if a spring was installed on his buttocks, jumped up, raised his fists and celebrated wildly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you don't know him well, you really think he's a big fan of Manchester United. Actually, no, he did all this just for the King of Spain and Platini to see. Who told them to be so arrogant?

The King of Spain and Platini, who were smiling and chatting cordially, looked embarrassed when they saw Messi's penalty denied. Especially after seeing Prince William's crazy celebration, my heart is even more uncomfortable. But it was all in a blink of an eye, after all, they were all people who had been through ups and downs, and soon they continued to smile and applaud there while congratulating Prince William.

When Van der Sar saved Messi's penalty, the Manchester United fans in the stadium erupted in huge cheers.

In the cheers, after Van der Sar made a second save to confiscate the ball, he quickly got up and threw the ball in his hand to launch a counterattack.

Manchester United's swift counter-attack was like a tidal wave, and it rushed fiercely towards the Barcelona defence.

The United fans didn't rest at the moment, but instead of chanting in unison to cheer for the team, they sang a cheerful tune there.

"Lalala......"

"Barcelona Barcelona guaranteed to advance to ......"

"Because they have a godfather ......"

"Frenchman Platini ......"

Platini, who relieved the embarrassment and applauded Van der Sar's brilliant save, had just sat down and heard the singing of the United fans.

The smile immediately became gloomy.

"Lalala......"

"They did it again in the final......

"But we have the god Van der Sar......"

……

"Haha, listen to the Manchester United fans in the stadium mocking Barcelona and UEFA President Michel Platini with their singing! After Chelsea were eliminated by Barcelona, there was a saying that Platini liked and supported Barcelona, which is why the Stamford Bridge tragedy happened. Although Platini has expressed his willingness to like Barcelona on different occasions, he hopes that this willingness does not undermine the fairness and justice of the game! ”

While the narrator was talking, the offense and defense of the two sides had switched. After Ryan Giggs' shot went over the crossbar, Barcelona were quick to attack.

After Messi didn't score a penalty, the morale of both sides also changed.

Morale is naturally high on the Manchester United side, and although the Barcelona team did not fall to the point of discouragement, the morale did suffer.

Before the pass could pass the halfway line, it was tackled by Wayne Rooney in frontcourt.

In the midst of this, Manchester United gradually gained the upper hand, putting pressure on the Barcelona team through continuous attacks, and several close shots were rejected by Valdés, known as the butter hand, to the regret of the Manchester United players.

At this time, Barcelona, which has always advocated attack, had to make substitution adjustments and replace Keita to strengthen the team's defensive ability.

However, Keita came on the pitch and still could not save the fate of Barcelona's conceded goal. Two minutes after Keita came on the pitch, Manchester United scored.

Manchester United launched an offensive on the left side, Ryan Giggs took the ball to the front field and knocked on the middle, Yu Liang passed directly to Rooney after getting the ball, and after Rooney made a wall-hitting cooperation, Yu Liang directly picked up the left rib gap in the penalty area, and Ronaldo, who broke into the penalty area in an offside position, smashed the ball with his heel and adjusted, and directly volleyed into the far corner to break the goal, rewriting the score to 1-1.

After the goal, Ronaldo came to the stands where Manchester United fans gathered and celebrated wildly.

Every time Ronaldo waved his arm, Manchester United fans chanted his name from the stands.

The passionate interaction infected every fan, and perhaps they did not know that this was Ronaldo's curtain call for Manchester United in the Champions League.

After interacting with the fans under the stands, Ronaldo rushed to the bench and hugged Ferguson affectionately.

"Well done!"

Hearing it clearly outside the dressing room at half-time, Ferguson certainly knew what Ronaldo's hug meant.

Ferguson, who was relieved, patted Ronaldo on the shoulder and encouraged: "One more and win the championship trophy!" ”

"Yes, boss!"

After answering loudly, Ronaldo returned to the pitch.

"Damn it!"

Guardiola, who had just made a substitution adjustment, stood on the sidelines and watched Ronaldo hug Ferguson and perform a warm scene of mentorship and apprenticeship, scolded secretly, and then made another substitution adjustment.

……

"The ball went in...... Ronaldo, Ronaldo received a cross from Yu Liang in the penalty area and scored with a volley. 1-1, Manchester United equalised...... We saw that Cristiano Ronaldo was very emotional and he celebrated on the sidelines...... Well, hugged Ferguson...... Oh, Barcelona made another substitution adjustment, Pedro replaced Iniesta, the score was tied, and I want to strengthen the attack! Who's going to be able to lift the big-eared cup last, let's take a look at the last 20 minutes! ”

When Cristiano Ronaldo scored, countless Chinese Manchester United fans who stayed up late to watch the game let out a low roar in front of the TV.

They suppressed their emotions, and their faces turned red.

Tiredness and fatigue were swept away at this moment, and they were full of excitement and sat in front of the TV to continue watching the game.

The restarted game became more intense. Scoring the equaliser, Manchester United, with high morale, launched a wave of fierce attacks to try to tear apart Barcelona's defense again. The Barcelona team, which was tied by the score, also tried to tear apart Manchester United's defense to overtake the score after substitution adjustments.

In the fierce game between the two sides, the Chinese fans who stayed in front of the TV were completely sleepy.

Their nerves were pulled by wave after wave of attack, and they threw themselves into the game, applauding the team's sharp attack and sighing regretfully for the team's failure to attack.

After a long wait, the 90-minute game was finally over, but the goal never came again, and the two sides would decide the winner in extra time.

After players from both sides rested in the stadium, extra time began at the referee's whistle.

After the last 20 minutes of the decisive battle, the players on both sides were very tired, so the extra time seemed a little uneventful.

United dominated the attack in the first half, but they were unable to break down Valdés' ten-finger mark.

Barcelona dominated the attack in the second half, struggling to get a chance under United's stubborn defence until they were awarded a superb free-kick in the 119th minute of extra-time to beat Van der Sar's goal. But when the football flew over the goal line, it was disrupted by an uninvited guest.

So much so that in the post-match press conference, this man was angrily rebuked by Guardiola: "Does he still have a work ethic? He shouldn't be on the football pitch and I implore UEFA, no, FIFA to ban this guy for life! ”

After Guardiola's angry reprimand, all the Barcelona players spoke ill of each other, and even Messi, who has always been low-key and humble, couldn't help but get angry after the game, "I have always admired him very much, but his actions on the pitch today have changed my opinion, I am very angry, I can't wait to shoot this bastard to death!" But that's football. In the end, I hope he gets the punishment he deserves! ”

Not only did the entire Barcelona team express their hatred, but the vast majority of the media, except for the Manchester media and a few English media, began to criticize them.

What volleyball player, shameless villain, should be banned for life and other very harsh words appeared in the report, and all the spearheads were pointed at one person, that is Yu Liang!

Because he blocked Xavi's must-score free-kick with his hand on the goal-line.

Yu Liang's foul on the goal line gave Manchester United another minute.

Messi's penalty was saved by Van der Sar again, and the game was successfully dragged into a penalty shoot-out.

In the penalty shootout, with Van der Sar's heroic play, Manchester United defeated Barcelona 5-3 and successfully defended the title, becoming the first team to successfully defend the title after the restructuring of the Champions Cup.

It's just that the price of defending the title is a bit big, although Yu Liang and his teammates happily lifted the Champions League trophy, but he has the possibility of being banned for life! (To be continued.) )
