Chapter 471: Pointing to the champion!

Although the Champions League semi-finals are exciting, the game...it will still take two weeks to see.

Before this, each team still has to focus on their own domestic games, especially a team like Manchester United that is determined to achieve three consecutive Premier League majors.

On April 19, Manchester United welcomed Tottenham Hotspur at their home court...

This season, although "Bai Baihe" invited the famous Fatty An to coach, their overall strength is really much worse than that of Manchester's two heroes, and even Chelsea, the "Blue Army" is not as good as Chelsea. Even though Ancelotti is experienced and good at using the cards in his hands to combine them to achieve the best results, but... a clever woman can't cook without rice!

Currently, Tottenham Hotspur is only ranked fourth in the Premier League standings and is still under the "Blue Army" Chelsea. However, "Bai Baihe" currently plays two rounds less than Chelsea. Although there is a 2-point difference between the two teams, if Tottenham Hotspur wins one of the two supplementary games, they will surpass Chelsea in the standings.

So in this game against Manchester United, Ancelotti made a smart choice... avoid it!

As the defending champion, everyone has seen how strong the "Red Devils" are. They are the best and most stable team in the Premier League, and even... "The Strongest in the Premier League" is well deserved!

How thief is Ancelotti!?

After realizing that their team can only get third at most and keep fourth in the league at the worst, "Fatty An" will not invest too much energy in the league. What's more, they reached the semi-finals in the Europa League this season and entered the semi-finals and entered the semi-finals. In a meaningless league game, they fought Manchester United away... Are they in their heads?

With a tacit understanding between the two sides, Manchester United won 3-0 home with Martial's "two-scoring" at home with Andreas Pereira's goal. In this game, Yang Xiaozhuang only played for 40 minutes. When Manchester United led two goals, they were replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to rest.

After the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United still maintained a 7-point advantage over Manchester City in the standings while playing one round less. In this case, it is almost impossible for "Blue Moon" to catch up with Manchester United.

Even if Manchester United wins the make-up match, they will lead Manchester City by 10 points in the standings, and with four rounds left in the league... Miracle?

In this case where Manchester City has a theoretical chance to win the championship, Guardiola will continue to waste his team's energy in the league unless he is crazy.

On April 22, Manchester United went to Anfield Stadium and defeated Liverpool 2:3 away with goals from Yang Xiaozhuang, Joe Reilly and B Fei. One of the two goals of the "Red Army" was the own goal given by Wan Bissaka.

On April 25, Manchester United played a make-up match away. With Yang Xiaozhuang's "hat trick" and Herrera's goal, they beat Stoke City in four goals!

At this point, Manchester United has completed the defense of the Premier League this season with three rounds left in the league with a score difference of 10 points.

From the moment of completing the defending title, Manchester United's goal this season is only the Champions League trophy, the "Red Devils" who have achieved three consecutive Premier League titles, and the next is the Champions League titles.

If all three consecutive dominances were completed in three domestic games and European competitions, the "Red Devils" dynasty would be completely announced to be completed, and Manchester United will completely enter a long-term prosperity stage. These players led by Yang Xiaozhuang do not need to fight like this anymore. As long as they normally exert their strength in future games.

On April 29, the Champions League semi-finals of this season officially kicked off...

The first leg match between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain was played at the Princes Park Stadium, but the day before, Manchester City played 0:1 with Real Madrid at the City Stadium. Guardiola's tactics were completely restrained by Conte, which eventually led to the "Blue Moon" who accidentally lost the first leg at home, which also made Manchester City's hope of reaching the Champions League final this season suddenly become slim.

The English media even unanimously agreed that although Guardiola's pass-and-control tactics are very strong, they are no longer suitable for today's European football. If his pass-and-control tactics are adjusted to a certain extent, even if Haaland develops into a super player in the future to end the team's offense, Manchester City will not achieve any amazing results in the future. It's really... the pass-and-control tactics are too slow!

Fortunately, although Manchester City played a very frustrating game, Manchester United did not lose track. They tied with Paris Saint-Germain at the Princes Park Stadium with the goals of Yang Xiaozhuang and Martial on the road.

This 2:2 draw is acceptable for Manchester United, and even the situation is favorable to Manchester United. After all, they not only did not lose away games, but also scored two away goals. No matter how you look at them, they are now one side with an advantage.

On the contrary, Mourinho expressed his dissatisfaction with the team after the game: "Mr. United's performance today did not reach their highest level, but we still did not win the game because we missed too many opportunities in the game. Originally we had the opportunity to win the game, but my players were a little worse in seizing the opportunity. Now we have to prepare for the next round of the game."

However, Mourinho never expected that when he took Paris Saint-Germain to put out the "bus" that Manchester United fans were very familiar with, a week later, his team actually... suffered another heavy blow!

In the second round of the Champions League semi-finals between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain at home, Manchester United, who played at home, did not focus on Yang Xiaozhuang, but instead put it on Martial on the left. As a result, the French winger not only performed a "hat trick" in the game, but also gave two assists.

Although Yang Xiaozhuang was not the protagonist in this game, he also performed well, with 1 shot and 2 passes making great contributions to the team's victory. In addition, Andreas Pereira and Rashford, who came on as a substitute, each scored a goal.

In the end, Manchester United eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 8:2 and reached the Champions League final for three consecutive years...

What is really surprising is the result of another second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. After Guardiola's team arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium, they defeated Real Madrid 1:2 away with the goals of Haaland and Tierney, which made the total score of both sides tied 2:2, but "Blue Moon" eliminated Real Madrid with the away goals!

As soon as this unexpected result came out, the entire European football world received unexpected surprises... The Champions League final turned into a "Manchester City derby", and this level of excitement must be even higher!
