Today Manchester United is still in the 41 formation, goalkeeper Van der Sar, defenders Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra, midfielders Giggs and Carrick, in front of them are Ricardo, Rooney and Warren In West Asia, Hernandez the pea is ahead.
Barcelona are their usual 433, goalkeeper Valdes, defenders Alves, Pique, Mascherano and Abidal, midfielders Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta, the three forwards are Pedro Left, Messi right, Villa suddenly ahead.
After the start of the game, Manchester United launched a high position tactic to make the game enter a fast pace.
However, today's field is relatively slippery. Because there was a light rain before, the technical players were affected a little bit on the field, and they made more mistakes.
Just 3 minutes after the opening, Little Pea received a direct plug from Ricardo, shot from the edge of the penalty area, and was blocked by Pique.
In the 8th minute, Van der Sar found Rooney with a big foot. Rooney gave a header to Ricardo. Ricardo shook his compatriot Alves incision with a juggling action and took an arc to shoot. Valdes was very focused and threw the ball out beautifully.
During the opening period, Barcelona was disrupted by Manchester United's forcing and did not quickly enter the game.
And Manchester United have to take advantage of the points, the offense is very active.
However, after the onslaught for a period of time without scoring goals, Barcelona gradually found its condition and adapted to the field. They increased their possession and started to control the game. Manchester United was passive.
In the 16th minute, Xavi sent a cross, and Pedro got rid of Ferdinand's close shot and missed slightly.
In the 18th minute, Xavi sent a straight plug, Villa broke through Vidic's frontal defense, shot hard, and the football flew the goal out of the goal.
After 1 minute, Villa received another pass from Harvey, but his shot from the edge of the penalty area was saved by Van der Sar.
Mourinho appeared very dissatisfied on the sidelines. During this time, Manchester United was too passive, and Ricardo returned to the midfield to participate in the organization and could not equalize Manchester United's midfield disadvantage.
In the 31st minute, after receiving a direct plug from Iniesta, Xavi divided the ball to the right, Manchester United left a large space on the left, Messi broke the Vidic defense after taking the ball and calmly shot low. In the lower right corner, the first record for Barcelona.
After scoring, Messi first celebrated with his teammates and then made a face at Ricardo.
Mourinho didn't jump like lightning, but his gloomy gaze showed that his patience had reached the limit.
But he didn't wait long. In the 35th minute, Manchester United spurred the attack immediately after the ball was intercepted in the frontcourt. The football was delivered to Ricardo's feet. Ricardo took the ball inward and passed the ball to Rooney. His Busquets also squeezed away, leaving the ball in place. Ricardo rushed up, took a step, and suddenly shot long distance. Football, like an off-string arrow, quickly entered the upper left corner of the goal.
Manchester United equalized the score.
Physical decline of Manchester United reduced the high position and started to retreat. They were really frightened by Barcelona's ball control and Harvey's insane plug.
Before the end of the first half, Harvey created a dangerous situation in the Manchester United penalty area through two straight plugs, but the Manchester United defender focused more attention and destroyed the ball before Pedro and Messi shot.
Both sides entered the intermission with a 1: 1 score.
In the United's dressing room, Mourinho waved Fang Yao in front of the tactical board. Ricardo buried his head, thinking that if Ronaldo should be here, replacing Ronaldo at this time will definitely change the situation.
After gaining great success last season, Manchester United has a very rich profit, but the club did not take any action during the transfer period, clearly needed to strengthen the midfield, but did not shoot. The winter break also only transferred to a Lindgard that could not be used as immediate combat power. This is not like a team that is determined to defend the title.
If the team adds one or two strong players this year, it won't be so hard now.
After the opening of the second half, Barcelona began to besiege Manchester United's half. Even Mascherano and Pique took turns to attack in the penalty area of Manchester United.
Relying on the ball advantage, they bullied Manchester United recklessly.
And Manchester United's midfield is too out of control. If Ricardo returns to assist in controlling the ball, he will reduce the chance of counterattack; if he stays in the frontcourt, he will not receive the ball at all.
In the 51st minute, Barcelona almost expanded the score. Messi and Alves penetrated Manchester United's left brake. Alves's shot was almost broken. Messi's shot was saved by Ferdinand on the goal line.
In the 54th minute, Messi received a cross from Iniesta and shot directly at the front of the penalty area. The ball penetrated into the far corner. This is Messi's 13th goal in the Champions League this season. He made a provocative grimace at Ricardo again before turning around and celebrating with his teammates.
Manchester United had no choice but to intensify the offensive, but have not been given too good a chance.
Barcelona, on the other hand, passed the ball, occasionally suddenly accelerating the pace, and caught Manchester United by surprise.
In the 71st minute, Manchester United only found a rare opportunity. At the time, Giggs moved the ball to the left and Alves took the top. Ricardo took the ball and went to the bottom. He met Pique and Mascher near the baseline Rano's joint defense. Ricardo had a bull tail, passed between the two, then flicked the ball, shot from a small angle, and the football rolled from Valdes' leg to the goal.
This was also Manchester United's first shot in the second half.
Although the score was equalized, Ricardo was not happy. This game is too passive and Manchester United is likely to concede.
Good and bad spirits.
In the 77th minute, Messi made a breakthrough on the right and skillfully passed the ball to Busquets. Busquets immediately returned the ball. Iniesta followed up with a kick and passed the Manchester United goal for the third time.
Ricardo was almost desperate.
In this game, Manchester United was only one goal away in terms of the score, but depending on the performance of the field, Manchester United had more than one opponent.
Mourinho immediately dispatched troops, Nani replaced Fabio ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Scholes replaced Carrick, to strengthen the attack.
But to no avail, Barcelona has been firmly in control of the rhythm on the field.
As time went on, Ricardo couldn't run anymore. He began to accept the fact that it is no longer possible to defend the Champions League this year.
He has done his best, but most of the time he is fighting alone.
Manchester United, which has performed well throughout the season, was completely defeated in this game.
When the referee whistled three times, announcing that Barcelona was again on top of Europe, Manchester United players could only feel sad.
In an interview on the sidelines, Ricardo said something imaginative: "Let's be here this season. We haven't been able to become champions. It's a pity, but this is football. No one can always win. After the game, I take a break and I will seriously consider my options. Some things may change. "
What is he thinking about? What will he choose? His words are being interpreted throughout Europe.
