When the Red Army Liverpool played the game in the second half in a manner to defend their victory and brought on new players one after another, Manchester United had no way to counterattack. In the end, they were powerless in the final stages of the game.
At the end of the game, Ferguson sighed softly in his heart. He could already feel that Liverpool's strength on paper was much stronger than Manchester United, widening the hard strength gap between the two teams.
"The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford, Liverpool defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 2: 1 in the away game. The total score of the two legs was 3: 1. The Manchester United team advanced strongly into the Champions League final!
In this game, Liverpool took the lead with Qin Xiong's goal, and then Scholes equalized the score for the team. But before the end of the first half, Qin Xiong received Johnson's cross and scored from behind the goal, completely crushing the Red Devils' hopes of a comeback. In the second half, Liverpool took control of the game. It was obvious that Manchester United was powerless. They were afraid of Liverpool's counterattack and did not dare to fully counterattack. In the end, they were defeated by Liverpool at home.
As the defending champions, Liverpool's performance in the Champions League this season was stable. They qualified for the group stage three rounds in advance. Then, they defeated the Serie A powerhouse AC Milan in the knockout stage and defeated Shakhtar Donetsk with a big score in the first round of the UEFA Europa League final. Although they lost the second round, the flaws did not obscure the beauty of the team. Liverpool was strong and stable in the semi-finals. Their performance, from the technical and psychological aspects, was amazing. They deserved to advance to the Champions League final and were also one of the top teams in Europe.
If we look at the situation in the last season, it is obvious that Liverpool strengthened the defense in the middle and back field and the depth of the bench through signings this season.
When they established a considerable lead, Comain could calmly carry out the deployment of players, such as replacing the key players for protection, or letting the key players rest, and then strengthening the defense without worrying about the team being reversed by the opponent. This was a stable performance.
In the past two seasons, Johnson and Baines had become Liverpool's two new full-backs, which could be described as the England national footballers. The addition of Tiote and Meireles had allowed Liverpool to take their time in using players in the midfield.
The addition of Raúl and Suárez also gave Liverpool more options in the forward line, but it could not be said that they had made a qualitative leap in Liverpool's offensive strength compared to last season, because Torres could also kill in all directions last season, which was something that Torres, who was struggling at Chelsea, could not be compared to. It was also a pity that Suárez could not represent Liverpool in the Champions League after joining Liverpool in the winter this season because he had represented Ajax in the Champions League. However, his active performance in the league was a force that could not be ignored in Liverpool's ability to defend the Premier League title four rounds in advance. This also allowed Liverpool to focus on the Champions League at the end of the season!
The results of the other semifinal match had already been released yesterday.
The total score of the two legs of the Champions League semifinal between Real Madrid and Barcelona was also 1: 3.
Barcelona, led by Guardiola, will meet Liverpool at the top of Europe at the new Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom!
Although the Champions League has had seasons of upsets and dark horse counterattacks, it is still a game of the strong most of the time!
This season is no exception. The four teams known as the strongest in Europe have made it to the semifinals of the Champions League. Then two of the leaders, Barcelona and Liverpool, have made it to the final together.
Now we can look forward to the battle of the kings in the Champions League final!
Friends in the audience, we'll see you in the Champions League final! "
After the game, Ferguson and Comain shook hands after the game, and the players also exchanged jerseys on the field.
Although it was a derby between rivals, there was also the warmth of a post-game hug.
Qin Xiong and Scholes came together and exchanged jerseys. Then they hugged and separated.
Qin Xiong walked into the players' tunnel with Scholes' jersey on his shoulder.
In the mixed interview area of the players' tunnel, the reporters gathered around.
In the face of the reporters' interview, Qin Xiong said with a faint smile, "The team played very well today. I also have to applaud Manchester United and the Manchester United fans. They really made the atmosphere in this stadium different at the beginning and surprised us. In the first few minutes, we could feel the atmosphere of life and death. But at that time, we withstood the test and then scored a goal to give Manchester United a blow, so that the situation of the game was not controlled by Manchester United. That was the main reason for our victory."
A reporter asked, "Messi led Barcelona to the Champions League final. You defeated Barcelona last season. This season's Champions League final will be played against Barcelona. What are your predictions for the game?"
Qin Xiong laughed and said, "I'm looking forward to it. The game between Liverpool and Barcelona will definitely be the game most worthy of the Champions League final!"
Just as Qin Xiong's voice fell, Gerard and Alonso walked from behind him, one on the left and one on the right of Qin Xiong, and walked in the direction of the locker room. The reporters were stunned.
Gerard dragged Qin Xiong's arm and shouted at the reporters with a smile, "You don't have to ask him too much. Just remember to write the incomparable Qin Xiong tomorrow! He is the man who created the incomparable miracle. Now we are going to celebrate in the locker room. How can we do it without the main character? Bye bye, go home and sleep. "
The reporters did not know whether to laugh or cry. The camera captured the scene of Qin Xiong being dragged away by his two teammates with a dumbfounded expression.
In the locker room, the Liverpool players could not wait to celebrate here.
They did not want to go to a nightclub to celebrate. They wanted to celebrate at the home of their arch-rivals, in the locker room of the Theatre of Dreams at Old Trafford!
It was a different kind of feeling.
The team captain, Gerard, stood on the table and stood out. He held a bottle of champagne in his hand and kept shaking it.
He shouted, "For many years, Liverpool could not lift their heads in front of Manchester United! But since last season, we have turned the tables and trampled Manchester United under our feet. This feeling is really great! I was worried that Liverpool would be beaten back to square one this season and be ridden on by Manchester United again. But what happened? We have beaten Manchester United four times this season! This is enough for us to be proud of! We are the league champions. We also eliminated Manchester United in the Champions League. In the semi-finals, when they were only one step away from the final, we told the damn Manchester United that it would be us, Liverpool, who would go to the new Wembley to play in the Champions League final. It would be our great Liverpool! Today, we are celebrating here. Liverpool people, raise your chins! "
The visitors' locker room suddenly became a scene of demons dancing wildly!
