In the 47th minute of the game, Bayern Munich's attack surged like a tide, and the players were aggressive and tried to break the deadlock shortly after the start. Bayern Munich's right back Joshua Kimmich dribbled the ball to a position about five meters away from Manchester United, and then kicked the ball to Thomas Muller who had already entered the penalty area; however, at this moment, Manchester United's left back Theo Fernandez instantly started and accurately intercepted the pass. He firmly controlled the ball with both feet, and then without any hesitation, he quickly passed the ball to the midfield core Marco Verratti.
Marco Verratti caught the ball steadily, then immediately raised his right foot and kicked it hard, with a precise long pass directly aimed at Erling Haaland who was rushing forward.
Erling Haaland was like a cheetah. When he saw the ball flying towards him, he instantly started with his amazing speed and instantly got rid of Leon Goretzka who was defending him. Erling Haaland ran all the way, his speed was so fast that Bayern Munich defender David Alaba could only chase him desperately, but he could not get close to him.
Soon, Erling Haaland entered the penalty area of Bayern Munich. At this time, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer saw Erling Haaland's aggressive approach and decisively chose to attack. Manuel Neuer rushed towards Erling Haaland like a mountain, trying to block his shooting angle. However, Erling Haaland was not panicked at all. He adjusted his pace calmly, his eyes fixed on the goal. At the moment of contact with Manuel Neuer, Erling Haaland gently pushed the ball and flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was slightly off the goal.
The game came to the 51st minute, and the tension in the Allianz Arena became more intense. Bayern Munich launched another round of fierce attack amid the shouts of home fans.
Robert Lewandowski was like a hungry cheetah, keenly catching opportunities in the penalty area. When Leon Goretzka's pass came like a precise missile, he caught the ball steadily. The moment after receiving the ball, he turned quickly, his eyes revealing a strong desire to attack. Without any hesitation, he kicked the ball decisively, and the ball flew towards Manchester United's goal like an arrow from a string. This shot was powerful and the angle was tricky, which was very threatening.
However, Manchester United's goalkeeper David De Gea was already ready. His eyes were fixed on the flying ball, and his body was like a taut spring. At the moment when the ball was about to fly into the goal, David De Gea reacted quickly and flew out like lightning. His body stretched in the air and his hands rushed forward. After being blocked, the ball bounced high and then fell to Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe).
Pepe reacted immediately and quickly grabbed the ball. Without any pause, a precise pass was passed to Rodrigo Hernandez who was rushing forward. After receiving the ball, Rodrigo Hernandez began his wonderful performance like a skilled dancer.
Rodrigo Hernandez danced lightly on the court with his excellent dribbling skills. His feet were like magic, firmly controlling the ball under his feet. Facing the pursuit and interception of several Bayern Munich players, Rodrigo Hernandez was not afraid. He changed direction flexibly, passed through cleverly, and passed several Bayern Munich players in succession. His movements were smooth and dazzling.
After passing his opponent, Rodrigo Hernandez did not choose to attack alone, but calmly passed the ball to Romelu Lukaku who was in a better position. After Romelu Lukaku received the ball, he immediately showed his strong physical advantage. He stood firmly in place and used his strong body to hold up Bayern Munich's central defender Mats Hummels. Mats Hummels pushed Romelu Lukaku hard, but Romelu Lukaku was like an unshakable mountain, motionless.
Then, Romelu Lukaku seized the opportunity and turned to shoot. His leg strength was amazing, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball. This shot was extremely powerful and fast, as if it could penetrate everything. However, Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was no ordinary person. He reacted quickly, jumped hard, stretched his hands as far as he could, and successfully saved the ball.
Although Manchester United's two consecutive counterattack shots did not score, they sounded the alarm for Bayern Munich, making them realize that Manchester United's defensive counterattacks were so sharp that they could not be careless at all, which also caused Bayern Munich's two full-backs Joshua Kimmich and David Aguero to fail.Raba did not dare to resolutely advance to participate in the attack for a long time afterwards, which also relieved the pressure on Manchester United's defense to a certain extent.
In the 55th minute of the game, Bayern Munich launched an active fight in the midfield, and Thomas Muller successfully intercepted the pass from Manchester United player Marco Verratti. He quickly passed the ball to Javi Martinez, who did not stop the ball and directly found Arjen Robben with a precise long pass.
Arjen Robben was like a bright lightning on the court. The moment he received the ball, the eyes of the entire Allianz Arena were focused on him. He was running with the ball, and he rushed along the side like a gust of wind.
Arjen Robben was running with the ball while keenly observing the situation on the court. He looked up at the goal and instantly judged that the angle at this time was not very ideal. But the Dutch flying man has always been known for his courage and confidence. With his outstanding personal abilities accumulated over many years in football, he decided to force a shot without hesitation.
He flicked his left foot lightly, and his movements were as natural as flowing water. Raphael Varane rushed forward to block, but was easily shaken off by Arjen Robben's clever shake. At this time, Arjen Robben seemed to have transformed into an artist on the court, and every movement was full of power and beauty.
Then, Arjen Robben's eyes flashed with determination, and he shot with his right foot. The ball flew towards the goal at an astonishing speed like a cannonball. The audience held their breath and followed the fast-moving football closely. However, fate seemed to play a little joke at this critical moment. Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar. The scene suddenly fell into silence, followed by a long sigh. Bayern Munich fans held their heads with their hands, and their faces showed disappointment.
In the 62nd minute, Bayern Munich launched another attack. After receiving the ball on the right, Arjen Robben used his speed to break through Manchester United's full-back Theo Fernandez. He cut inside into the penalty area and then made a wall-to-wall match with Robert Lewandowski. The ball was passed quickly between the two, making the Manchester United players Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire, who were defending them, dare not act rashly.
At this time, Arjen Robben got another chance to shoot. Without any hesitation, he quickly adjusted his posture and prepared to shoot. His eyes were fixed on the goal, as if he wanted to put all his strength into this shot.
Just as Arjen Robben was about to shoot, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire rushed over like a solid fortress. Harry Maguire's tall body was full of strength. He tightened his muscles all over his body to prepare for Arjen Robben's impact. Arjen Robben was not afraid. He gritted his teeth and swung his right leg hard. The two bodies collided instantly, making a dull sound.
The strong impact made Arjen Robben and Harry Maguire's bodies tremble slightly. Arjen Robben felt a huge force rushing towards him, as if he hit a hard wall. At the moment the ball was blocked, Arjen Robben widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief and regret. His body shook slightly, and it seemed that he had not fully recovered from the impact just now. Harry Maguire quickly adjusted his posture and cleared the ball out of the danger area.
The audience in the stands exclaimed, and Manchester United fans cheered and cheered for Harry Maguire's wonderful defense.
Bayern Munich's head coach Niko Kovac watched the game anxiously on the sidelines. Facing the wing attack that was unable to open the situation, he realized that the team had to make changes. So he made consecutive substitutions, replacing Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery with Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman.
When the fourth official raised the substitution card, Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery showed incredible expressions on their faces. They couldn't believe that they were replaced at this critical moment.
Arjen Robben walked slowly to the sidelines, his eyes full of loss and anger. Every step seemed to carry a heavy burden, and the figure that once rushed on the court seemed a little lonely at this moment. When Arjen Robben walked in front of the head coach Niko Kovac, Niko Kovac stretched out his hand to shake hands with him. However, Arjen Robben turned his head slightly, his right hand clenched into a fist, trembling slightly. Niko Kovac's hand stopped awkwardly in the air, and the air around him seemed to solidify.
Arjen Robben's lips were tightly pursed, and the lines on his face were tightly stretched.. He didn't even look at Niko Kovac, and walked right past him. His resolute back seemed to tell of his inner reluctance and anger.
Frank Ribery was also angry. After he walked off the court, he went straight to the bench. He picked up his jersey and threw it hard on the ground. Frank Ribery's face was full of dissatisfaction and frustration, and he felt that he could have made more contributions to the team.
The players on the bench were all startled by Frank Ribery's actions, and they all stepped forward to comfort Frank Ribery. But Frank Ribery's emotions were difficult to calm down. He sat on the bench, holding his head with his hands, and tears flashed in his eyes.
Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac looked at the reactions of Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery, and his heart was also full of anger and helplessness. He knew that no matter what the final result of the game was, because of these two legendary veterans, he would be criticized by the German media after the game.
The game is still going on. After Bayern Munich replaced Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman, the wing attack has improved.
In the 67th minute, Serge Gnabry, who had just come on as a substitute, and Manchester United's defensive midfielder Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) rushed towards a ball that was about to go out of bounds at the same time. Neither of them wanted to give up the ball, and their eyes were full of determination and persistence. As the distance kept getting closer, their speed was getting faster and faster.
Just when the ball was about to go out of bounds, Serge Gnabry and Pepe collided fiercely. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. The huge collision sound echoed on the court, shocking everyone.
Pepe only felt a huge impact force spread throughout his body in an instant, and his body seemed to be hit by a high-speed truck. His head was dizzy, and the scene in front of him became blurred. The pain came like a tide, starting from the legs and quickly spreading to the whole body.
Pepe fell to the ground in pain, holding his right leg tightly with both hands. His face showed an extremely painful expression, and his facial features were twisted together because of the pain. His lips trembled and he groaned faintly. Sweat rolled down his forehead like raindrops, and soon soaked his hair and jersey.
Manchester United's players immediately gathered around to check on Pepe's condition. Their faces were full of worry and anxiety.
The team doctor quickly rushed into the field and carefully checked Pepe's injury. Pepe's right leg had begun to swell and the color had become a little abnormal. The team doctor gently touched Pepe's leg, and Pepe immediately screamed, and the sound made people feel nervous. The team doctor initially judged that Pepe's leg might have been severely hit, possibly with a fracture or ligament strain. They did not dare to neglect it, and quickly carried Pepe out of the field on a stretcher and sent him to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
Manchester United had to make personnel adjustments. Head coach Mourinho made a quick decision and sent Bruno Fernandes to fill the vacancy left by Pepe.
And Serge Gnabry also stood up with the help of his teammates. There was a painful expression on his face, but he was not seriously injured. After a short adjustment, Serge Gnabry returned to the game.
