Chapter 0845, Group, First!

Ronaldo's fatal blow completely crushed Atalanta.

They went from 2-0 to 2-3, and the difference in distance had too much impact on the mentality.

In the last ten minutes, although he tried desperately to attack, he had little success and finally failed to score.

3-2, Manchester United win at home!

Two consecutive wins in the Champions League, back to the top of the group again!

This time it's the real top!

In the other game, the Bern youngsters were beaten by Villarreal and completely lost the possibility of competing with Manchester United for the top spot.

But this is also normal, after all, the first game to win the Red Devils was also accidental.

If it weren't for Manchester United's red card, it would have been impossible for them to pull off a miracle.

On November 3, Manchester United ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

It's still against Atalanta.

It's two back-to-back games.

Back on their home turf this time, Atalanta are looking to win.

With the experience of going 2-0 up at Old Trafford last time out, they played with a lot of confidence in this game.

On the Manchester United side, they are starting to have injury problems because of the two games in a week.

Jadon Sancho, Nemanja Matic, Fred, Drinkwater, Donny van de Beek and others have all had varying degrees of fitness problems and are unavailable.

This puts a lot of pressure on Manchester United.

In particular, the absence of Nemanja Matic and Fred has made Manchester United's midfield defense a great threat.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielded a partnership between Scott McTominay and Fernandes Fernandes in midfield.

And Xia Xing is still free to move around in the midfield.

Up front, Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani played together.

This time Cristiano Ronaldo went to the right and ceded the central striker position to Edinson Cavani.

This is also a rare situation this season when Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani start at the same time.

In the end, Cavani also lost completely in this competition and has already planned to leave.

Against Atalanta, this game was again the first goal of the opponent.

Zapata takes the ball on the wing and decisively crosses the middle!

Ilicic scrambled to score in the middle!

1 to 0!

Atalanta is once again ahead of Manchester United!

Without Nemanja Matic and Fred, United's central defence has dropped a notch.

However, today was different from the previous game, Atalanta wanted to try to win and chase down the victory, and scored another goal, but the tower was stolen.

Five minutes later, a midfield match in Atalanta, a widely diverted pass was suddenly broken!

Xia Xing quickly retreated to assist in defense, and intercepted the ball with a barb!

The ball landed at the feet of McTominay next to him, and the wheat struck it horizontally, and then passed to Xia Xing.

Xia Xing made a long pass and looked for Ronaldo on the right side!

Outside the penalty area, Ronaldo received the ball and cut inside, and shot decisively!

The ball hits the near corner of the goal!

1 to 1!

Manchester United equalised!

It took only five minutes for them to score the crucial equaliser!

The first half ended in a draw.

In the second half, Atalanta scored again.

Xia Xing is right, this opponent is extremely teamwork.

They were able to beat a giant to get the third place in Serie A, and it was by no means for nothing.

A through ball down the middle, Paromino found Zapata in good shape.

Zapata rubbed the ball and the ball fell into the net in a very strange arc!

2 to 1!

Atalanta takes the lead again!

This made De Gea very helpless.

I can't stop this ball......

However, United did not disappoint their impatient fans.

Their onslaught did not let up until the final moments of the game.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Xia Xing found substitute Greenwood with a diagonal pass.

Mason Greenwood replaced Edinson Cavani on the right flank and Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the middle.

Greenwood made two consecutive directional feints and a cross!

Cristiano Ronaldo's clever movement in the penalty area and his shot from the front point!

The ball smashes into the near corner!

2 to 2!

Manchester United scored the equaliser!

They are stubborn!

In the end, Manchester United took a point away from home.

It's not perfect, but it's not bad.

They are still at the top of the table.

The next round of the competition is a very crucial contest.

On November 24, at the Love Song Stadium, Manchester United challenged Villarreal.

The winner of this game will basically be sure to qualify for the Champions League group.

After losing 2-1 to Manchester United in their last game, Villarreal was in a bad mood as a team.

Because they lost to the same opponent by the same score in the Europa League final before.

If they lose this game again, then they will be completely convinced by Manchester United.

This is something that the Yellow Submarine soldiers absolutely do not want to see.

And once the ball is lost, it is likely to lead to a situation where the team is out early.

It's more troublesome.

So from the first minute, they launched a fierce attack at home.

And today, due to distractions in the league and player injuries, Manchester United made a certain number of personnel changes.

Anthony Martial was even fielded up front, rarely played.

Even Pogba was on the bench.

In particular, Ronaldo has some muscle strains and did not appear in the 18-man squad today.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad is really stretched thin.

However, for Manchester United fans, there is still a lot of confidence in the team.

Because the man was there!

Xia Xing, wearing the captain's armband, stood on the pitch, and Manchester United fans were full of confidence!

As long as he is present, any problem can be solved!

From the first minute of the game, Villarreal took the initiative.

They pressed Manchester United to play.

Manchester United, on the other hand, had a solid start and were not in a hurry.

Because they have the upper hand, even if it is only a draw, this game will basically ensure promotion.

After all, the last game is to play Bern Juniors, and the three points are solid.

The first round was just an accident.

45 minutes into the first half, the two sides were still 0-0.

However, in stoppage time, Manchester United suddenly picked up!

Xia Xing made a long pass in the backfield, and the ball accurately found Greenwood in front!

Greenwood catches the ball and rushes into the box and smashes it into the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

The combination of this pass and run is quite exquisite!

Manchester United break the deadlock!

With a one-goal lead, Manchester United was able to relax a lot at halftime, and the psychological pressure was instantly relieved.

But Villarreal is anxious.

Throughout the half-time, all of them were not in high spirits, and although they started with fierce attacks in the second half, they made frequent mistakes.

In the 79th minute of the game, Xia Xing broke the ball again in the backfield and made a long pass to the right side!

This time the ball found Sancho accurately!

Sancho catches the ball and deftly shoots quickly!

The ball goes into the far corner of the goal!

The angle is tricky, and goalkeeper Rulli can't do anything!

2 to 0!

Manchester United is stable!

In the end, Manchester United got an important three points away from home with two assists from Xia Xing!

They were completely at the top of the group! (End of chapter)
