In the 53rd minute, Allegri made the first substitution of the game: replacing defensive midfielder Khedira with offensive midfielder Dybala.

Dybala, hailed by the Argentine media as "Messi's successor", plays an important role in both offense and defense for Juventus. Because he has not recovered from the injury in the Serie A match against Roma last month, Allegri's original plan was to let him play in the last 15 minutes to control the rhythm of the game; but now that the score is 0:3 behind, he has to let him play early.

Dybala's joining seems to have injected a shot of adrenaline into Juventus, and the team's offense has become more fluent in an instant. He actively ran in the midfield to respond, and when he took the ball to organize the offense, he keenly observed the running positions of his teammates on the field and the loopholes in the opponent's defense line. Under his leadership, his teammates cooperated more tacitly. The passing route is clearer and the rhythm of the offense is more compact. The attack, which was originally stagnant, is now like a surging torrent, rolling towards the opponent's goal.

In the 72nd minute, the atmosphere in the stadium became increasingly tense and solemn. At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo stood up like a god descending from heaven. In the open area outside the penalty area, he steadily received the ball from Dybala, adjusted it slightly, and kicked a powerful long shot. The ball flew towards the goal at an astonishing speed with a whistling wind, like a cannonball. The trajectory was like a lightning bolt that cut through the night sky, straight and swift.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea tried his best to fly to save the ball, but he could only watch. The ball hit the dead corner of the goal without any suspense, hit the net, and brought a white wave. 1:3 Juventus scored a goal back.

The whole stadium was instantly ignited, and the fans of Juventus burst into deafening cheers. This goal gave them hope and the dawn of the team's Jedi counterattack.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not celebrate, but walked to the goal and took the ball out and put it in the center circle.

There was no joy on his face, only more determined determination and concentration; he turned around and ran towards his teammates, shouting loudly, encouraging everyone not to relax and continue to fight for victory.

Just eight minutes later, the time came to the 80th minute, and the wheel of fate leaned towards Juventus again. They got a valuable corner kick opportunity, and the eyes of the whole audience were focused on Pjanic in the corner kick area.

Pjanic took a deep breath and stared at the penalty area with a firm gaze. Then, he ran up and kicked, and the corner kick was like a precision-guided missile, accurately finding Cristiano Ronaldo in the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo was seen like an awakened lion, jumping high in the crowd. His body seemed to break free from the shackles of gravity and rushed into the air with an unstoppable momentum.

His forehead hit the flying football hard. At that moment, strength and skill were perfectly combined. The football flew towards the goal like a meteor, and the goalkeeper didn't even have time to react.

The ball went in! Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice! Juventus scored again, and the score was 2:3. The whole stadium was instantly crazy, and the cheers and shouts were deafening.

Ronaldo, after landing, did not celebrate too much, but just clenched his fists, with an endless desire for victory in his eyes. He quickly ran to the center circle, signaling his teammates that the game was not over yet, and they needed to continue fighting.

After Juventus scored two goals in a row, the expressions of Manchester United players were slightly nervous and anxious.

At this time, Manchester United coach Mourinho walked into the field with a solemn look. He walked firmly, without any blame in his eyes, only full of encouragement and trust. Mourinho walked to the middle of the players, put his hands firmly on their shoulders, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Don't panic, boys! This is just a temporary difficulty, we can get through it. We are Manchester United, we are never afraid of challenges!"

The players raised their heads and looked at the coach's firm eyes, and the uneasiness in their hearts gradually dissipated. Mourinho continued to encourage: "Remember our tactics, believe in each other, believe in our daily training. Show your courage and fighting spirit, we can control the game!"

His words flowed like a warm current in the hearts of every player, rekindling their fighting spirit and confidence.

In the 82nd minute, Mourinho replaced Rashford, who was almost exhausted, with Gakpo, replaced striker Lukaku with defensive midfielder Matic, and McTominay changed to play as a second striker; Manchester United's overall lineup also changed from 4-3-3 to 4-3-1-2.

SubstitutionGakpo, who came on as a substitute, was very active. He was like a burning fire, running all over the field, leaving his tireless footprints on every inch of grass. His eyes were full of desire and fighting spirit, always keeping a close eye on the movement of the football. Once the ball was near him, he would pounce on it like a cheetah. Whether it was the forward insertion during the attack or the pursuit during the defense, Gakpo went all out and swayed his sweat and energy without reservation.

He actively sought cooperation with his teammates and kept running to create opportunities for himself and his teammates. The momentum and enthusiasm forced the opponent to guard against him.

In the 85th minute, the atmosphere on the field was extremely tense. Gakpo rushed to the goal like a flash of lightning, and shot the ball into the net with a powerful kick. In an instant, the whole field was silent, followed by the cheers of his team's fans.

However, the cheers soon came to an abrupt end. The linesman's eyes followed Gakpo's running position closely. At the moment of passing the ball, the linesman keenly noticed that there was a problem with Gakpo's position. Without any hesitation, he decisively raised the flag in his hand and blew the whistle in his mouth. The whistle was sharp and urgent, indicating that Gakpo was offside first.

The referee's eyes also quickly turned to the linesman. After receiving a clear signal from the linesman, the referee crossed his hands in front of his chest and made an offside penalty gesture. He had a serious expression and announced loudly: "Offside! The goal is invalid!" From the slow-motion playback, it can be clearly seen that Gakpo was in an offside position at only a shoulder's distance.

Gakpo's originally excited expression froze instantly. He widened his eyes, looked at the referee in disbelief, and held his head with both hands, full of disappointment and frustration.

The Manchester United players also shook their heads helplessly, and the fire of hope that had been ignited was instantly extinguished. The Juventus players breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had survived a disaster, and were glad that the goal was ruled invalid.

Time unknowingly came to the injury time. In the 91st minute, Manchester United right-back Ashraf, who performed very well throughout the game, collided heavily with Juventus striker Bernardeschi in a fierce fight. He fell to the grass in pain, clenched his teeth, frowned, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. His facial features were twisted together due to extreme pain. He covered his injured ankle with both hands, his eyes full of pain and helplessness.

The team doctor quickly rushed into the field. After a simple examination and treatment, Ashraf limped off the field with the help of the team doctor. Head coach Mourinho also immediately replaced Ashraf with substitute right-back Dalot.

The time came to the last minute of injury time, and the score on the field was still Juventus 2:3 behind Manchester United. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and every second that passed was terrifying.

Every Juventus player's face was full of anxiety and unwillingness. Their eyes were burning with extreme desire for goals, and their steps became more and more rapid. Sweat soaked their jerseys, but they could no longer care about these. There was only one thought in their hearts: to create a miracle in these last few tens of seconds...

The Juventus fans in the stands clenched their fists tightly, their voices were almost hoarse, they tried their best to cheer for their beloved team, and the deafening shouts resounded throughout the stadium.

At this critical moment, Dalot, who had just been hastily substituted, made a fatal mistake. He wanted to clear the ball, but his feet slipped, and the ball accidentally rolled towards Juventus' offensive area.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been waiting at the edge of the penalty area, started up instantly like a cheetah finding its prey, and rushed up like the wind. He controlled the ball steadily under his feet with exquisite footwork, not giving Manchester United defenders any chance to steal it. Facing Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea, Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were firm and full of murderous intent. He first swayed to the left lightly, causing the goalkeeper's center of gravity to shift to the left. Then, he quickly pulled back his right foot, and his thigh muscles instantly tightened, driving his calves to swing out like a whip. His ankles were stretched straight, and his toes poked the football hard, as if he wanted to put all his strength into this kick. The football was like a cannonball, with a sharp whistle and strong rotation, flying towards the upper right corner of the goal. The ball was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the trajectory of the ball.

At the moment of shooting, Cristiano Ronaldo leaned back slightly to maintain balance, and took a small step forward with his left leg to support the center of gravity of his body. His facial expression was a little ferocious due to the force, his teeth were clenched, and his brows were furrowed. His eyes followed the football closely, as if he was directing its flight direction.

The ball went in!!! Cristiano RonaldoCristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick! In the unfavorable situation where Juventus was 0:3 behind, this man almost pulled Juventus out of the abyss of failure by himself.

The whole stadium was instantly detonated, and Juventus players ran wildly, hugged passionately, and roared like wild horses, with excitement and ecstasy on their faces. The Juventus fans in the stands fell into madness, and the cheers were higher and higher, as if they were going to overturn the entire stadium.

Looking at Cristiano Ronaldo's god-like performance, Luo Lie, who was sitting in the VIP stands, held his head with his hands, his face full of disbelief. After a long time, he shook his head, revealing a trace of helplessness and regret in his eyes. For this man, when he first came to this world, his first thought of becoming the owner of Manchester United was to introduce him; but unfortunately, before he came to this world, Cristiano Ronaldo had already signed a contract with Juventus.

In the arena, after Dalot made a mistake, he seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down heavily on the ground. His eyes were empty, his face was pale, he kept mumbling words of self-blame, and his hands were unconsciously grabbing the grass.

Captain De Gea quickly ran over, bent down, stretched out his strong hands, and pulled Dalot up. He held Dalot's shoulders tightly, looked at him firmly, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Brother, it's just a mistake, the game is not over yet! Everyone makes mistakes, don't blame yourself too much." Dalot raised his head and looked at the encouraging eyes of Captain De Gea, and his emotions gradually stabilized.

Shortly after the restart, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The score was finally fixed at 3:3. Juventus equalized Manchester United at the last moment, creating an amazing miracle. The Juventus players were overjoyed on the field. They hugged and high-fived each other, with smiles as bright as the sun on their faces, and excited shouts rose and fell, as if they were about to break through the clouds.

On the other side, the Manchester United players were all dejected, like eggplants hit by frost. They hung their heads and looked at the scene of the Juventus players celebrating with complicated eyes, their hearts full of unwillingness and helplessness.

At this time, head coach Mourinho walked into the field quickly with firm steps and a calm look; he first walked to the captain De Gea, put his hands on the captain's shoulders, looked at him intently, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Kid, don't let this frustration crush your spine. The game is full of variables, this is just a small bump in the long journey."

Then, he walked to Dalot, who was blaming himself for the mistake at the last moment, gently stroked his head, and said earnestly: "Don't blame yourself too much, everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is how to stand up, how to make such a The experience becomes the cornerstone of your growth. "

Then, he faced all the players, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Young men, raise your heads and hold your chests high! We are facing the runner-up team of last season's Champions League. We have been leading for more than 90 minutes. I am proud of you! I believe that when we return to Old Trafford, we will be stronger!" After that, he pulled up the players who were sitting on the grass one by one and hugged every player on the field;

Ashraf, who was injured and left the field at the last moment, was now hanging his head, his shoulders kept twitching, and tears were pouring out uncontrollably. His full of loss and frustration turned into silent crying at this moment, as if the whole world had become gray and lightless.

Cristiano Ronaldo also noticed this scene and came over. He squatted down, patted Ashraf's shoulder gently, and said in a magnetic and warm voice: "Don't cry, little guy. The road of football will never be smooth. This setback is nothing. There is still a long way to go and there are many opportunities." Ashraf raised his tear-stained face and looked at the football legend in front of him with gratitude in his eyes.

Cristiano Ronaldo smiled, reached out to wipe the tears from Ashraf's eyes, then took off his jersey, handed it to Ashraf, and said: "Remember our agreement in Castilla last year? Come on!" Ashraf also hurriedly took off his jersey and exchanged it with Cristiano Ronaldo. The two looked at each other, conveying respect and blessings for each other.
