Star card system.

Ronaldo's fatal blow completely defeated Atlanta.

They went from 2-0 to 2-3. Such a distance gap had a great impact on the mentality.

In the last ten minutes of the next ten minutes, although they attacked hard, they had little effect, and they failed to score in the end.

3 to 2, Manchester United won the opponent at home!
Two consecutive wins in the Champions League and back to the top of the group again!

This time it’s the real top spot!

In another game, Young Boys of Bern was defeated by Villarreal and completely lost the possibility of competing with Manchester United for the top spot.

But this is normal. After all, it was accidental to win the first game against the Red Devils.

If Manchester United hadn't received a red card, it would have been impossible for them to create a miracle.

On November 11, Manchester United ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

It's still against Atlanta.

These are two back-to-back games.

Returning to their home court this time, Atlanta is looking forward to winning.

With the experience of leading 2-0 at Old Trafford last time, they played with confidence in this game.

On Manchester United's side, they began to have injury problems due to double matches a week.

Players such as Sancho, Matic, Fred, Drinkwater, and Van de Beek all have physical problems of varying degrees and are unable to play.

This puts a lot of pressure on Manchester United.

Especially the absence of Matic and Fred poses a huge threat to Manchester United's midfield defense.

In this game, Solskjaer sent McTominay and B Fee to partner, and the two were responsible for midfield interceptions.

Xia Xing is still free to move in the midfield and frontcourt.

On the front line, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rashford and Cavani performed together.

This time Ronaldo went to the right wing and gave up the center position to Cavani.

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

In the end, Cavani was completely defeated in this competition and already had plans to leave the team.

Facing Atlanta, the opponent scored first in this game.

Zapata got the ball on the wing and hit the center decisively!
Ilicic scored with a shot from the middle!

1 is better than 0!

Atlanta leads Manchester United again!

Without Matic and Fred, Manchester United's central defense has obviously dropped to a higher level.

However, today was different from the previous game. Atlanta wanted to pursue the victory and score another goal, but the tower was stolen.

Five minutes later, during Atlanta's midfield cooperation, a wide-range pass was suddenly intercepted!

Xia Xing quickly retreated to help defend and intercepted the ball with a single hook!

The ball fell at the feet of McTominay who was beside him. Wheat knocked it across and then passed it to Xia Xing.

Xia Xing made a long pass, looking for Ronaldo on the right!
Outside the penalty area, Ronaldo caught the ball and cut inside, then decisively kicked the ball!

The ball hit the near corner of the goal!

1 is better than 1!

Manchester United equalized the score!
It only took five minutes for them to score the crucial equalizing goal!

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied.

In the second half, the game changed sides again, and this time Atlanta scored first.

Xia Xing was indeed right, this opponent was extremely team-oriented.

The fact that they were able to overpower a giant club and reach third place in Serie A is by no means a deserved one.

With a through ball from the center, Palomino accurately found the running Zapata.

Zapata took advantage of the situation and the ball fell into the net in a very strange arc!

2 is better than 1!

Atlanta takes the lead again!

This made De Gea very helpless.

I can't guard this ball...

But Manchester 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 Greenwood who came on the bench with a diagonal pass. Greenwood just replaced Cavani and went to the right wing, and Ronaldo returned to the center.

Greenwood made two consecutive fake moves and made a cross pass!
Cristiano Ronaldo moved smartly in the penalty area and shot forward!

The ball hit the near corner!

2 is better than 2!

Manchester United scored a stunning goal!

They are tenacious!

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

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

They are still at the top of the standings.

The next round of competition is a very crucial contest.

On November 11, at the Love Song Stadium, Manchester United challenged Villarreal.

The winner of this game will basically be sure to get a place in the Champions League group qualifying.

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

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

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

This is what Huang Qian's soldiers absolutely don't want to see.

And once they lose, it is likely to lead to the team being eliminated early.

This is more troublesome.

So from the first minute, they launched an onslaught at home.

Today, due to league distractions and player injuries, Manchester United has made certain personnel adjustments.

Martial, who rarely played, was even deployed on the front line.

Even Pogba sat on the bench.

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

Now Solskjaer's formation is really stretched.

But for Manchester United fans, they still have confidence in the team.

Because that man is there!

With Xia Xing wearing the captain's armband standing on the court, Manchester United fans are full of confidence!

As long as he is there, any problem can be solved!
From the first minute of the game, Villarreal took the initiative.

They beat Manchester United.

Manchester United started very steadily and were not in a hurry.

Because they have the upper hand, even if this game is just a draw, promotion is basically guaranteed.

After all, the last game is against Young Boys of Bern, with a solid three points.

It was just an accident in the first round.

45 minutes passed in the first half, and the two sides were still 0-0.

But just during injury time, Manchester United suddenly picked up the speed!
Xia Xing made a long pass from the backcourt, and the ball accurately found Greenwood who was advancing!
Greenwood received the ball and rushed into the penalty area, and easily pushed the ball into the net!
1 is better than 0!

Manchester United scored first!
The passing and running coordination this time is quite exquisite!

Manchester United breaks the deadlock!

With a one-goal lead, Manchester United could relax a lot during the halftime break, and the psychological pressure was instantly relieved.

But Villarreal is anxious.

Throughout the halftime break, all of them were in low spirits. Although they started the second half with a strong attack, they made frequent mistakes.

In the 79th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again stole the ball from the backcourt and passed the ball long to the right!

This time the ball found Sancho accurately!

Sancho catches the ball and shoots deftly!
The ball hit the far corner of the goal!

The angle is tricky and goalkeeper Rulli is helpless!
2 is better than 0!

Manchester United is stable!

In the end, Manchester United scored an important three points in the away game with Xia Xing's two assists!
They completely secured their first place in the group! (End of chapter)
