Star Card System

C Ronaldo's fatal blow completely defeated Atalanta.

They went from 2-0 to 2-3, and the gap had a huge impact on their mentality.

In the last ten minutes, although they attacked desperately, they had little effect and finally failed to score.

3-2, Manchester United won the opponent at home!

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

This time it's the real top!

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 Red Devils in the first game.

If Manchester United hadn't received a red card, it would be unlikely for them to create a miracle.

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

It was still against Atalanta.

These were two back-to-back games.

This time back at their home court, Atalanta looked forward to winning.

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

As for Manchester United, they started to have injury problems because of the double matches in a week.

Sancho, Matic, Fred, Drinkwater, Van der Beck and other players all had physical problems to varying degrees and could not play.

This put a lot of pressure on Manchester United.

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

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

And Xia Xing still moved freely in the frontcourt.

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

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

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

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

Facing Atalanta, the opponent scored first in this game.

Zapata took the ball on the wing and decisively knocked it across the middle!

Ilicic shot and scored in the middle!

1 to 0!

Atalanta leads Manchester United again!

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

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

Five minutes later, Atalanta's midfield cooperation and large-scale transfer pass were suddenly intercepted!

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

The ball fell at the feet of McTominay next to him, and Xiaomai knocked it horizontally and passed it to Xia Xing.

Xia Xing made a long pass to Ronaldo on the right!

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

The ball hit the near corner of the goal!

1 to 1!

Manchester United equalized the score!

It only took them five minutes to score the key equalizing goal!

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

In the second half, Atalanta scored first again.

What Xia Xing said was indeed right. This opponent has a strong team spirit.

They were able to beat a giant to get the third place in Serie A, which was not in vain.

With a through ball from the middle, Palomino accurately found Zapata who was running.

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

2 to 1!

Atalanta took the lead again!

This made De Gea very helpless.

This ball can't be defended...

But Manchester United did not disappoint their impatient fans.

Their fierce attack did not relax until the last moment of the game.

In the first minute of injury time, Xia Xing made a diagonal pass to Greenwood who came on as a substitute.

Just now, Greenwood replaced Cavani and went to the right side, and Ronaldo returned to the middle.

Greenwood made two consecutive changes of direction and made a cross pass!

Ronaldo moved smartly in the penalty area and shot from the front point!

The ball hit the near corner!

2 to 2!

Manchester United scored the equalizer!

They are tenacious!

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

Although it is not perfect, it is not bad.

They are still at the top of the standings.

The next round of games is a very crucial contest.

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

The winner of this game can basically get a place in the Champions League group.

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

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

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

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

And once they lose the ball, it is likely to lead to the team's early elimination.

This is even more troublesome.

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

And today, due to the distraction of the league and the injuries of players, Manchester United made a certain degree of personnel adjustments.

The striker even sent Martial, who rarely played.

Even Pogba sat on the bench.

Especially Ronaldo has some muscle strain and did not appear in the 18-man squad today.

Now Solskjaer's lineup is really a bit stretched.

But for Manchester United fans, they are still full of confidence in the team.

Because that man is there!

When Xia Xing, wearing the captain's armband, stood on the court, Manchester United fans were 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 pressed Manchester United.

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

Because they took the lead, even if this game was just a draw, they could basically ensure promotion.

After all, the last game was against Young Boys Bern, and the three points were stable.

The first round was just an accident.

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

But just in the injury time, Manchester United suddenly accelerated!

Xia Xing made a long pass in the backcourt, and the ball accurately found Greenwood who was advancing!

Greenwood received the ball and rushed into the penalty area, and lightly pushed the ball into the net!

1-0!

Manchester United scored a goal first!

This pass and run cooperation was quite exquisite!

Manchester United broke the deadlock!

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

But Villarreal was anxious.

During the entire halftime break, all of them were in a bad mood. Although they attacked fiercely at the beginning of the second half, they made frequent mistakes.

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

This time the ball accurately found Sancho!

Sancho received the ball and shot it quickly and skillfully!

The ball went into the far corner of the goal!

The angle was tricky, and goalkeeper Rulli was powerless!

2-0!

Manchester United was stable!

In the end, Manchester United won the important three points away from home with Xia Xing's two assists!

They completely secured the first place in the group! (End of this chapter)
