Chapter 0720, from the champion, to the quarterfinals

Manchester United's Champions League campaign this season is really coming to an end.

Even the most optimistic Manchester United fans are in despair at the moment.

In the final moments, they wanted to rely on defense to jam the game.

But Messi's fatal blow made Manchester United fans completely fall to the bottom.

Now there are only two pure attacking players left on the court.

Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford.

The physical fitness of the two has also seriously declined, not as good as in the first half.

The rest of the players are defensive-oriented.

The talented star who was excellent defensively and equally good offensively was still sitting on the bench at the moment.

At this time, there is basically no hope of scoring goals.

With more than ten minutes left in the game, United were desperate.

But if it worked hard, then the former cosmos team Barcelona would have been overturned.

Acknowledging that technical deficiencies cannot be fully remedied through effort is a sign of respect for the laws of football.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Paul Pogba fired a long-range shot into the stands and United's last chance to attack came to an end.

The referee's whistle blows, and the game is over!

Lost 3-1 at home and lost 4-5 on aggregate.

This is the end of Manchester United's Champions League journey this season.

On the pitchside, Valverde shook Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's hand amicably, making a polite remark.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is leading the team in the Champions League for the first time, also appeared polite.

Xia Xing next to him suddenly had an idea.

What would Mourinho do if he was here at the moment?

I'm afraid he'll ignore Valverde.

When he loses, he doesn't bother to pay attention to anyone.

At this moment, Xia Xing suddenly missed Mourinho very much.

Alas, what a pity.

β€œxia。”

"Huh?"

Xia Xing looked up and saw Messi standing in front of him, holding a jersey in his hand.

Xia Xing wanted to sit up from the bench, but Messi gently held him down.

"Man, don't get up. Take care of your injuries and I'm looking forward to your return to the pitch. ”

"It's a shame I didn't finish this game with you."

'I feel lucky to have played against Manchester United without you. Don't mind if I say that, if you're there, I'm not sure we'll be able to walk out of Old Trafford with a smile today. ”

"It's okay, we'll fight again next year."

"Good! Fight again next year! ”

The two shook hands tightly, their eyes full of appreciation.

At this moment, the two of them coincidentally had a thought.

It would be a wonderful thing to be able to compete with him in his career.

This poor game cost Manchester United the chance to qualify for the last four of the Champions League.

Manchester United fans were disappointed.

However, there are also many fans who are disappointed, such as their city rivals.

In Tottenham's two matches against Manchester City, the aggregate score was 4-4.

In the end, Tottenham relied on the advantage of away goals and advanced to the last four of the Champions League.

In the two legs, Son scored three goals and provided an assist. He was involved in all of the team's goals.

Against opponents who are far more valuable than themselves, Tottenham played a very experienced performance.

Harry Kane is the wall, and the pillar role is obvious; Eriksen has a good pass and shows the quality of the Premier League's top striker.

There's also Alli's brilliance, Kieran Trippier's attacking and defensive, and Lloris's brilliant defense......

These are all important reasons why Tottenham were able to beat Manchester City.

Even with the talented top stars such as Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, they still couldn't beat Tottenham's passionate style of play.

The flow of technology has been lost to the hardcore.

In the end, Pep Guardiola once again hated the Champions League, and his great goals can only be achieved next season.

The Manchester City Brothers are both out of the game and leave the game with regret.

But having said it, their exit is not an upset.

After all, Barcelona or Tottenham are not weak teams, and their strength on paper is comparable, so even if they lose, they are expected.

However, Juventus's defeat made many fans uneasy.

As Cristiano Ronaldo's new owner, Juventus has gained a lot of attention.

They are even in the top three in the odds to win the Champions League.

It's a completely different race from previous seasons.

That's the influence of supergiants.

And Ronaldo's wonderful performance in the quarterfinals also gave fans great confidence.

A hat-trick upset Atletico Madrid and embarrassed Simeone, a scene that has long been talked about by Juventus fans.

And now, in the face of a weak team like Ajax, they are naturally sure to win.

But in the end, they fell at the feet of Ajax.

In the two legs, Juve lost 2-3 on aggregate.

One 1-1, one 1-2, two games, one draw and one loss.

It is worth mentioning that both goals were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo and he did his best.

However, the team's overall offense is really weak, and he can't do anything about it.

Ajax, on the other hand, is very integral.

Goalkeeper Onana, central defender De Ligt, midfielder De Jong, forward Van de Beek, central striker Tadic.

Such a central axis is perfect.

And with talented full-back Mazraoui, veteran captain Blind, winger Hakim Ziyech and other distinctive role players, the whole Ajax team is fantastic.

In the end, the Ajax youth team overthrew the old woman Juventus and successfully advanced to the last four of the Champions League.

After the game, manager Ten Hag was hailed by numerous media outlets, and he was very pleased with the result.

"What is Ajax's Champions League goal this season?"

When asked by a reporter, Ten Hag smiled.

"What is it? Champions League winners, of course! ”

This bold statement has made countless Ajax fans even more excited!

Are they going to regain their former glory?

You must know that although Ajax is only a Dutch team and not a big five league, they have even won more Champions League titles than many giants.

Especially in the three seasons from 1970 to 1973, they won the Champions League three times in a row!

The most recent was the 1994-1995 season when the Eredivisie team shook Europe.

And now, they are hitting new miracles!

Compared with these three groups of opponents, the other group of opponents is much stronger and weaker.

Liverpool vs Porto, Reds won completely.

The total score of the two legs was 6-1, a victory like chopping melons and vegetables, and the Portuguese Super League giants had no power to fight back.

Their trio of Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are already widely regarded as the strongest trident in Europe this season.

The attacking force is so strong that even Manchester City's strikers, who are temporarily leading them in the league, cannot catch up with them.

In the end, Liverpool successfully advanced.

Facing the media, Klopp proudly said: "What we lost in the Champions League final last season, we must win back this season!" ”

Whether it's Liverpool, Tottenham or Ajax, or Barcelona, who are starting to reviverate, it's clear that they've made great strides.

Only Manchester United have regressed significantly.

From last season's Champions League champion, to now barely quarterfinals...... (End of chapter)
