Chapter 722 From champion to top 8

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

Even the most optimistic Manchester United fans have fallen into despair at this moment.

At the last moment, they originally wanted to rely on defense to stall the game.

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

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

Pogba and Rashford.

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

Other players are mainly defensive.

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

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

With more than ten minutes left in the game, Manchester United tried their best.

But if hard work could work, then Barcelona, ​​the former Cosmos team, would have been overthrown long ago.

Admitting that technical deficiencies cannot be fully compensated through hard work is a sign of respect for the laws of football.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Pogba hit the stands with a long shot, and Manchester United's last offensive opportunity ended.

The referee's whistle sounds and the game is over!

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

Manchester United's Champions League journey ends here.

On the sidelines of the pitch, Valverde shook hands with Solskjaer in a friendly manner and spoke politely.

Solskjaer, who was leading the team in the Champions League for the first time, also seemed very polite.

Xia Xing next to him suddenly had an idea.

What would Mourinho do if he were here right now?

I'm afraid he will definitely ignore Valverde.

After losing the ball, he didn't bother to care about anyone.

At this moment, Xia Xing suddenly missed Mourinho extremely.

Alas, what a pity.

"Xia."

"Ok?"

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

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

"Man, don't get up. Recuperate well. I look forward to the time when you return to the court."

"It's such a shame that I couldn't finish this game with you."

"I feel very lucky to have played this game against Manchester United without you. Don't mind me saying this, if you had been here, I'm not sure we would have walked out of Old Trafford smiling today."

"It doesn't matter, we will fight again next year."

"Okay! Let's fight again next year!"

The two shook hands tightly, their eyes filled with admiration.

At this moment, the two of them had an idea at the same time.

If I can compete with him in my career, it will definitely be a wonderful thing.

This poor game cost Manchester United the chance to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Manchester United fans are disappointed.

However, there are many fans who are also disappointed, such as the fans of their rivals in the same city.

In the two games between Tottenham and Manchester City, the total score between the two sides was 4 to 4.

In the end, Tottenham relied on the advantage of away goals to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

In the two rounds of the game, Son Heung-min scored three goals and one assist. He was involved in all of the team's goals.

Facing an opponent whose worth far exceeds their own, Tottenham performed a very experienced performance.

Harry Kane acts as a wall and plays an obvious role as a pillar; Eriksen is excellent in passing and controlling, showing the strength of the Premier League's top attacking midfielder.

There is also Ali's talent, Trippier's excellent offense and defense, Lori's excellent defense... These are the important foundations for Tottenham to defeat Manchester City.

Even with talented top stars like De Bruyne, Aguero, and Jesus, they still couldn't defeat Tottenham's passionate style of play.

The technology flow was lost to the hardcore.

In the end, Guardiola once again hated the Champions League, and his great goal can only be realized next season.

The Manchester City brothers were both eliminated and sadly left the field.

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

After all, neither Barcelona nor Tottenham are weak teams, and their strengths on paper are comparable, so even if they lose, it is expected.

However, Juventus's defeat left many fans distraught.

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

They even rank in the top three in the odds list for winning the Champions League.

This is completely different from previous seasons.

This is huge influence.

Ronaldo's wonderful performance in the quarter-finals also gave fans huge confidence.

A hat trick overturned Atletico Madrid and embarrassed Simeone. That scene has long been talked about by Juventus fans.

But now, facing a weak team like Ajax, they are naturally guaranteed to win.

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

In the two rounds of the game, Juventus lost with a total score of 2 to 3.

One game was 1 to 1, one game was 1 to 2, one draw and one loss in the two games.

It is worth mentioning that both goals were scored by Ronaldo, who tried his best.

However, the team's overall offense was really weak, and there was nothing he could do.

On the other hand, Ajax has excellent overall performance.

Goalkeeper Onana, central defender De Ligt, defensive midfielder De Jong, attacking midfielder Van de Beek, and center Tadic.

Such a central axis is perfect.

And there are also role players with distinctive characteristics such as talented full-back Mazraoui, veteran captain Blind, and winger Ziyech. The overall Ajax team is great.

In the end, the Ajax youth team overturned the old lady Juventus and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

After the game, head coach Ten Hag was pursued by countless media, and he was also very satisfied with the result.

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

When a reporter asked this question, Ten Hag smiled slightly.

"What is it? Of course the Champions League winner!"

This bold statement 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 one of the five major leagues, their number of Champions League titles has even exceeded that of many giants.

Especially in the three seasons from 1970 to 1973, they won three consecutive Champions League titles!

The most recent one was the Eredivisie youth team that shocked Europe in the 1994-1995 season.

And now, they are hitting a new miracle!

Compared with these three groups of opponents, the competition between the other group of opponents is much clearer.

Liverpool faced Porto and the Red Army won completely.

The total score of the two rounds was 6 to 1, a victory like chopping melons and vegetables, and the Portuguese Super League giants were unable to fight back.

Their trident of Salah, Firmino and Mane is already recognized as the strongest trident in Europe this season.

Their offensive power is so overwhelming that even Manchester City's forward group, which is temporarily leading them in the league, cannot catch up with them.

In the end, Liverpool advanced successfully.

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

Whether it's Liverpool, Tottenham, Ajax, or Barcelona, ​​which has begun to revive, they have obviously made great progress.

Only Manchester United has regressed significantly.

From winning the Champions League last season to barely reaching the quarterfinals... (End of chapter)
