Chapter 631 Absolutely Leading
A 3-1 victory allowed Arsenal to take away three points from Old Trafford.
But that doesn't matter to either side.
Manchester United has won the championship ahead of schedule, and the next Premier League games are just training.
Arsenal is currently ranked sixth in the league, with two games left. They are 7 points ahead of Burnley behind them, and have already qualified for the European War next season.
However, they are still 7 points behind Chelsea, who are fifth in the league, and have no hope of Champions League next season.
If Manchester United can win the Champions League this season, fifth-placed Chelsea can also qualify for the Champions League play-offs.
But this has nothing to do with Arsenal.
Wenger is about to leave the team and Arsenal's reconstruction is imminent.
Next season may be a season of reshuffle for the entire Premier League.
But that’s all for the future.
For Manchester United, trying to create miracles this season is the most important thing.
Now, they are just three games away from pulling off a miracle.
A Champions League semi-final second leg, a Champions League final and an FA Cup final.
If they win these three games, they will become the ones who create new history for Manchester United.
It's interesting to say that although they have not finished the Champions League semi-finals, everyone at Manchester United is full of confidence in advancing to the finals.
This is a powerful belief that Mourinho instilled in them.
No matter how strong Real Madrid is, we will still be equal!
On May 5st, in the city of Madrid, the impressive Manchester United soldiers marched here.
They arrived in Madrid two days in advance.
With Mourinho's connections here, they booked a five-star hotel very close to the Bernabeu Stadium early.
And under the negotiation between Mourinho and Real Madrid, Real Madrid provided enough conveniences to Manchester United.
Not only has the training time to adapt to the field been extended, but private club venues such as locker rooms and conference rooms have also been opened.
This is all for Mourinho's sake.
Real Madrid also have selfish motives.
Because Zidane is likely to leave the team at the end of the season, Mourinho will also be one of their candidates. Building a good relationship in advance will also pave the way for the future.
On the evening of May 5, the Bernabeu Stadium was brightly lit.
Similar to the previous game at Old Trafford, today is also the last important game of the season at Old Trafford.
That's it for the league, only the hope of winning the Champions League remains.
Mourinho led the team onto the pitch, with Zidane waiting on the sidelines.
"Jose."
"Zidan."
"how do you feel today?"
"It's okay, the Bernabeu fans are very enthusiastic."
"Haha, everyone is so enthusiastic because you are back."
"Then I feel so guilty."
"How do you say that?"
"Because I will disappoint Real Madrid fans today."
"You guy, haha."
"No matter what, today will definitely be an exciting game."
"That's natural!"
The two shook hands, turned around and strode to their respective coaching benches.
The starting lineups of both sides in today's game are almost identical to the last one, for both sides.
Manchester United still uses a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Goalkeeper De Gea,
The back four of Ashley Young, Smalling, Rojo and Valencia,
Double defensive midfielders Matic and Carrick,
The three front midfielders are Xia Xing, Pogba and Sanchez.
Center Lukaku.
Rooney, Rashford, Herrera, Lingard and other players are on standby on the bench.
Fellaini was out due to injury and Carrick started.
皇马依旧是熟悉的中场菱形站位，4-1-2-1-2阵型，
Goalkeeper Navas,
The back four of Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal,
In the midfield three, Casemiro is at the back, Toni Kroos and Modric are in front, and Asensio is the attacking midfielder.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema are still partners on the front line.
Bell, Isco, Vazquez, Nacho and other players sat on the bench.
Compared with the previous game, Asensio started in Isco's place.
Isco's offensive contribution was limited in the last game, and Zidane gave the younger Isco a chance.
The referee whistles and the game begins!
In this game, Manchester United relied on a 4-2 total score lead and retreated across the board.
Mourinho once again laid out the iron barrel formation.
Real Madrid naturally attacked with all their strength.
The state of not being able to completely let go at Old Trafford reached its peak today.
Not long after the game started, Ronaldo sprinted with the ball alone, passed two defensive players, rushed into the penalty area and fired a blast!
The ball slides out!
Only a little short!
Fans of the away team exclaimed in the stands.
It's so dangerous!
Five minutes later, it was Benzema and Asensio again.
Benzema received a pass from Ronaldo, stepped back, and Asensio followed up with a blast!
Outside the penalty area, this explosive shot went straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
De Gea, a fellow national team member, quickly fell to the ground and rubbed the ball out with his fingertips!
Only a little short!
In less than ten minutes, Real Madrid threatened Manchester United's goal twice!
And this is just the beginning.
Next, Real Madrid's offense became higher and higher!
Ronaldo became the most active player in the first half.
His continuous attacks on the left wing made it difficult for Valencia to parry.
I could barely defend it last round, but this time I couldn't.
Even if Matic continues to help defend, Ronaldo is still a huge threat.
In the first 30 minutes of the game, he created the most threatening balls.
Next is Asensio.
Isco worked very hard in the last game, but failed to gain anything offensively.
Zidane started the more aggressive Asensio today in the hope that he can create opportunities.
Compared to Isco's comprehensiveness, Asensio is more aggressive.
Especially his long-range shot, which was a wonderful performance in La Liga.
And he is also Mr. Big Scene.
He started the game and was very active in the frontcourt.
He was everywhere around the penalty area.
The passing is threatening and the shooting is accurate.
But the most outstanding player in this game was De Gea.
His high catches and low blocks made Real Madrid's repeated attacks in vain.
It wasn't until the 43rd minute of the game that De Gea made his first mistake.
But just when Real Madrid fans were excited, they instantly experienced the feeling of going from heaven to hell.
Cristiano Ronaldo took a shot from outside the penalty area, but De Gea blocked it!
But he got away!
I couldn't hold the shot this time!
Benzema quickly follows up with a stab!
Xia Xing, who returned to defense from behind, scooped the ball out at the goal line!
Xia Xing has made a great contribution!
Just when the Real Madrid players had already scored a goal, the situation on the field suddenly changed dramatically!
Xia Xing's tackle flew out, and Pogba received the ball accurately outside the penalty area!
He made a slight adjustment and sent a long pass straight to the frontcourt!
Find Lukaku!
Lukaku sprints quickly!
He used his body to squeeze Varane away!
Break into the restricted area!
Take a low shot!
The ball hits the net!
1 is better than 0!
Manchester United open the scoring!
The total score changed from 4 to 2 to 5 to 2!
Three-goal advantage!
Absolutely ahead! (End of chapter)
