Star card system.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Carrick didn't even have any excuse.

He knew exactly what he had done and what he would face.

He stood up slowly and walked straight to the side of the court without even looking at the referee.

Behind him, Real Madrid players surrounded the referee and asked for a penalty kick.

However, the referee made it clear that the foul was outside the penalty area and was not a penalty kick.

Carrick looked at Xia Xing in front of him, slowly took off the captain's armband and put it on Xia Xing's arm.

"Xia, I leave the team to you, we must go to Kiev, absolutely!"

Xia Xing nodded vigorously.

Carrick patted him on the shoulder and walked off.

At the side of the court, Mourinho had already been waiting there.

Looking at Carrick, Mourinho came up and gave him a hug.

"Michael, you are a hero."

"Oh, I'm still old, otherwise Ronaldo wouldn't have been able to rush over so easily. Now I just hope that this red card is worth it."

"Definitely worth it!"

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer suddenly felt a little emotional.

"Carrick used a red card in exchange for the team conceding one less goal.

“You have to know that as long as Ronaldo is allowed to pass, he will definitely score a goal, I am sure of it.

“At that time, Manchester United’s offense will be even more troublesome.

"Now, Manchester United still maintains a one-goal lead in the total score.
  "It came at the expense of their captain being sent off.

"You know, this red card not only means that the game cannot continue, it also means that the game cannot continue.

"It also means that even if Manchester United eventually reach the final, Carrick will not have a chance to play.

"At the beginning of this season, Carrick publicly stated that this was his last season.
  "At the end of the season, he will leave his beloved green field and bid farewell to his playing career.
  "But it's such a shame that I couldn't play in the last Champions League final..."

Alan Shearer sighed again and again, and Carragher next to him suddenly said something.

"Carrick, he's a real hero."

A famous Liverpool player who never praises Manchester United players paid tribute to Carrick with the most respect today.

At this time on the court, Real Madrid has already discussed how to take the free kick.

Four players, Ronaldo, Bale, Modric and Marcelo, have been discussing.

In the end, the ball was handed over to their number one star, Ronaldo.

This position is almost close to the penalty area line, too close to the goal.

This distance makes it difficult to exert force.

Moreover, the Manchester United players have already defended well, and it is not easy to cooperate with the shooting.

At this time, Ronaldo put the ball on the ground and backed away slowly.

He looked up at the time card.

It has been three minutes since the foul and red card.

It was now the 88th minute of the game.

There is not much time left for Real Madrid.

But as long as Real Madrid can score this goal, then they are basically safe.

Thinking of this, Ronaldo took a deep breath and backed away slowly.

Back a long way and take a slow approach. The pace started slowly, then became fast!

Accelerate and sprint, kick up and shoot!

It's a low kick!

At the moment when Manchester United's wall jumped, the ball flew from the feet of Ashley Young at the back point to the net!

Dangerous!
  Ronaldo's shot broke through the Manchester United wall!

But he didn't break through the second wall!
  Matic fell to the ground to defend!

Before Ronaldo shot, Xia Xing arranged for Matic to lie on the ground as a crowd defense.

Now, his goal is achieved!

Cristiano Ronaldo's ground slash didn't work!
  Herrera next to him made a quick rescue!
  The ball bounced continuously in the penalty area and finally flew near the center circle!

Casemiro quickly chased back and he was closest to the ball.

But the moment he stopped the ball, the pressure behind him suddenly increased dramatically!
  He was knocked away by a stronger body and lost control of the ball!

"It's Xia!

"He's so fast!

“So fast that it’s visible to the naked eye!
  “I was defending in my own half just now, and now I’m in the center circle!
  “After he saw Matic’s successful defense, he rushed out without even waiting for the ball to clear the penalty area!
  “He has incredible trust in his teammates!

“And Herrera’s pass was also very decisive and passed forward!

"When speeding up at the same time, Xia was still several positions further than Casemiro.
  “But now, he has caught up with the Brazilian midfielder!

"The powerful impact made Casemiro unable to stand still and staggered!
  “But this was a reasonable collision and the referee didn’t say anything!
  "Manchester United's counterattack is coming!

"At this time, there were no cooperating players in the frontcourt, and even the only center Lukaku retreated to defend the set piece just now.
  "Xia is the only one left now!
  "He stole the ball in the middle, adjusted two steps, and sprinted at high speed!
  “No defensive player behind him can catch him!
  “The way he dribbles the ball with long strides is like the former Brazilian genius Kaká!

“Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas abandoned the goal and attacked!

"But xia seems to be a little faster!
  "He poked the ball before Navas!
  "Navas has been passed!

"The Real Madrid goalkeeper stretched out his hand and tried to stop Xiao even if it was a foul!

“But it still doesn’t help!

"Xia sprinted quickly and directly avoided Navas's fierce grab!
  "Now there is only an empty door in front of him!

“Easy volley to the right side of the goal!
  "The ball hits the net!
  "The ball went in!

"Manchester United scored a very important goal!
  “When the game was about to enter stoppage time, they evened the score to 2-2!

"They pushed Real Madrid into the abyss again!

"Now the total score has become 6 to 4!

"Manchester United have a two-goal advantage again!
  "There are three minutes left in stoppage time, Real Madrid have no time!

"Xia is the hero of Manchester United!

"He's just amazing!"

At this moment, the Bernabeu Stadium has once again become a red paradise!
  Even though there was only a hint of red in the visiting team's stands, the cheers still filled the night sky at this moment!
  In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer could no longer contain the joy in his heart and stood up to applaud!
  “Wonderful counterattack!

"If Bale's overhead kick just now is the most exciting goal in the Champions League this season,
  "Then this counterattack is the most important counterattack in the Champions League this season!
  “In the last moments of the game, xia’s physical strength was simply unbelievable!
  "And his decisive forward thrust, tearing apart Real Madrid's defense on his own!
  "Driving forward with the ball, even the Real Madrid players who were chasing back at full speed couldn't catch up!

"Xia is Manchester United's superhero!
  "From counterattacking and passing, to sprinting with the ball and breaking the net, Manchester United scored in an instant!
  “The most dramatic thing is the process of scoring this goal!

"This is a counterattack opportunity at the expense of Manchester United captain Carrick being sent off!

"Actually, it was a red card in exchange for a must-goal for Real Madrid. At that time, I was still thinking whether it was worth it?
  "But looking at it now, a red card eliminates the opponent's goal and creates our own goal.
  “Absolutely worth it!

"What a great deal!" (End of chapter)
