From the man behind the football king to the football king

"To be honest, I don't have much hope that the second half will be exciting." Martin Taylor said to his partner Andy Gray.

"Objectively speaking, a 1:1 draw is acceptable to Manchester United as a guest." Andy Gray said, "I just don't know if Zidane is willing to accept a draw at home."

In the view of the commentator, Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League, and sitting at the home stadium of the Bernabeu Stadium, they should have more ambitions and pursuits, but after the start of the second half, they immediately realized that they were wrong.

The two sides continued to entangle in the midfield, and as the game progressed, the stalemate on the scene did not change.

At about 60 minutes, Manchester United coach Mourinho took the lead in making adjustments. He replaced Kante with Gundogan.

However, Gundogan did not appear in his usual attacking midfielder position, but formed a double defensive midfielder with Kante, so this was a positional substitution, and Manchester United's formation on the field did not change.

Martin Taylor said with some surprise: "Mourinho doesn't seem to be satisfied with taking a draw away from the Bernabeu Stadium."

Andy Gray nodded and said: "Now it depends on how Zidane will deal with it."

The camera gave a close-up of Real Madrid coach Zidane, and then the camera was given to Bale on the bench.

Obviously, if Real Madrid coach Zidane is also unwilling to draw and wants to make adjustments on the offensive end, the biggest possibility is to replace Bale.

Bale also looks a little anxious. He stares at the field and he is eager to play.

Bale and his teammate sitting next to him whispered from time to time. This person seems to be more anxious than Bale. This is Real Madrid's midfielder Toni Kroos, a German.

Speaking of which, Mourinho secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kroos sitting on the bench of Real Madrid after the game started.

Mourinho replaced Gundogan to strengthen the attack.

On the Real Madrid side, Zidane finally made a move after nearly ten minutes. He asked Bale and Toni Kroos to warm up.

Mourinho also noticed the changes on the bench of Real Madrid.

Substituting Bale means that Zidane is not satisfied with the score of 1:1, and Real Madrid still wants to attack; and if Kroos is replaced, it means strengthening the midfield defense, which means that it is satisfied with the score of 1:1 and can accept it.

In the 71st minute of the game, Zidane finally made a substitution adjustment. He replaced Vinicius with Bale.

Seeing Zidane's adjustment, Mourinho also made tit-for-tat adjustments after thinking for a moment.

He replaced Rashford with Greenwood.

Substituting Greenwood, who is fast and has strong impact, for Rashford, who has been unable to run, to continue to strengthen the attack.

Zidane stood on the sidelines, staring at the field with a serious expression.

He was hesitating. Mourinho was deploying troops and constantly strengthening the offensive. Zidane was considering whether to continue to adjust to strengthen defense, or to adapt to the changes in the situation and turn to strengthen the offense in order to seize the gap after Manchester United pressed forward to attack.

This is a multiple-choice question, to be conservative and accept a draw; or to take a chance and strive to win the game.

At this time, Mbappe used his speed to break through Mendy on the wing, and then suddenly cut inside, pretending to shoot, but sent a diagonal pass. Gundogan inserted from behind and attracted the attention of the defender, but sent a reverse angle pass back. Greenwood followed up and shot a burst, and the football flew high into the stands.

There was a huge booing over the Bernabeu Stadium. The fans of Real Madrid ridiculed Greenwood in this way, which was actually to cover up the panic in their hearts.

Although this ball was a cannon, it scared them into a cold sweat.

It was this wonderful offensive cooperation played by Manchester United that made Zidane make a decision.

Zidane immediately made a substitution, Marcelo came on as a substitute, replacing left back Mendy.

In this game, Mendy had been struggling against his French national team teammate Mbappe.

Mourinho folded his arms and frowned. Real Madrid defended with all their strength, which was more difficult to deal with. It was like wearing a suit of armor. You wanted to get him, but there was nowhere to start.

Just as Mourinho was thinking, boos rose from the stands. Mourinho looked up, then clenched his fists and leaned forward. Then, louder boos mixed with cheers resounded throughout the stadium.

Mourinho jumped three times on the spot and punched excitedly. He didn't need to worry anymore, his disciples helped him solve his troubles.

This was Gundogan's steal in the frontcourt. After he intercepted the ball from Valverde's feet, he quickly launched a quick counterattack.

Gundogan dribbled the ball forward at high speed, and Casemiro slid. Gundogan picked up the ball deftly, jumped up, avoided Casemiro's tackle, and then passed the ball to Harry Kane.

Harry Kane took the ball with his back to the defender and knocked the ball.

Bruno rushed up.

"Stop his shot!" Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois shouted anxiously.

As the current No. 1 in world football, Bruno's threat is too great. Even Courtois was nervous facing his shot.

………………

Ramos came up to block, and then he saw that Bruno was originally shooting, but when he touched the football, his foot shape changed, and he flicked the outside of his foot, very lightly, and the football passed diagonally through the Real Madrid defense line.

Everyone saw Greenwood coming in from the left, and after receiving the ball, he cut inside.

Facing defender Carvajal who rushed out to intercept, Greenwood did not give the opponent a chance to get close, and directly met the ball and shot it!

"Mason!!!" With the roar of commentator Martin Taylor, Greenwood shot hard, and the ball suddenly jumped up and flew straight to the goal of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois opened his arms to save the ball, but the shot was very powerful and it was an upward ball. The football passed through Courtois' hands at high speed and continued to move forward until the net was rolled up high...

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! Greenwood! Greenwood! He scored for Manchester United! 2:1! Manchester United overtook the score away from home!" Andy Gray shouted, "After Manchester United's midfielder intercepted the ball, they launched a quick counterattack. Gundogan, Harry Kane, Bruno, Greenwood, Manchester United's stars joined forces to contribute a wonderful goal."

"In the 81st minute of the game, Manchester United led Real Madrid 2:1!"

………………

After scoring the goal, Greenwood seemed very excited. He turned around and excitedly pointed at the team captain Bruno who passed the ball to him.

Bruno opened his arms, laughed, and hugged Greenwood who ran over.

Other Manchester United players also ran over excitedly and gathered together to celebrate.

This game was too difficult. If we win the game with this goal, it will be the best reward for everyone's efforts.

Moreover, if we can win away from home, this series of knockout games will become easier for Manchester United, and we can even say that they have already stepped half a foot into the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

"This is a very crucial goal. Including injury time, there are more than ten minutes left in the game. Manchester United is leading 2:1..."

Manchester United's players are celebrating wildly, while Real Madrid's players are depressed, and even a little frustrated.

Losing the ball at this time is really too morale-destroying.

2:1!

This is also the final score.

After losing the ball, Real Madrid launched a crazy counterattack. Zidane even sent another striker Jovic to attack Manchester United's defense with four strikers.

On the Manchester United side, Mourinho immediately replaced Mbappe with Bellingham, changing the formation to 442 to strengthen the midfield defense, making Real Madrid's crazy counterattack at the last moment ineffective.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score did not change again. Manchester United beat Real Madrid 2:1 away and took a hard-fought victory from the Bernabeu Stadium.

………………

In the press conference after the game, Mourinho was not modest. He praised his players.

"Real Madrid is a respectable team. They are strong and aggressive. The Bernabeu Stadium is a terrifying stadium. It is difficult to win here and go home."

"So, I want to praise all the players. They performed very well. I am proud of the fighting spirit and efforts shown by the players and the competitive state they showed."

As the former coach of Real Madrid, Mourinho is very clear about the strength of the Galacticos. It is absolutely rare for Manchester United to beat Real Madrid away, and it deserves any praise from him.

Listening to Mourinho praising his players there, some reporters felt bored, and some nodded in approval, with excited expressions. The former was the media of Real Madrid, and the latter was not only the media of Manchester United, but also the media of Barcelona.

Real Madrid lost, they were also happy.

Yes, Barcelona is very wary of Manchester United, but objectively speaking, in their view, Manchester United is not a La Liga team after all, and there are very few opportunities to play against them, so the threat to them is limited.

But Real Madrid is different. This mortal enemy is in La Liga with them, and they have to play at least two games face to face every season. If they meet again in the King's Cup or the European War, there will be more games.

Therefore, Real Madrid is still more threatening to them than Manchester United.

Especially in the Champions League, Real Madrid has won 12 Champions League trophies, far ahead of Barcelona's 4.

If Real Madrid continues to advance in the Champions League this season, even reaching the finals, or even winning the championship, it will definitely not be good news for Barcelona.

Now Real Madrid lost at home and was almost eliminated in the Champions League in advance, and Barcelona is also happy to see it happen.
