Chapter 1010 Great Victory
Bruno was very happy after scoring the goal and celebrated with his teammates. He didn't expect to be in such good form today, not only providing two assists but also scoring a goal.
As a famous Real Madrid killer in the world football, Bruno has always performed well in the games against Real Madrid, but he has not been involved in three goals in a single game many times, including only three times today.
The first time was in the 2014 European Super Cup. Bruno used a hat trick and an assist to almost single-handedly help Udinese beat Real Madrid led by the BBC 4:2, and truly showed his face in front of the whole world.
Then came the Champions League final four years ago. At the Olympic National Stadium in Kyiv, Bruno scored one goal and assisted two, helping Manchester United to a narrow 1-2 victory over Real Madrid, ending the Champions League's top club's dream of winning three consecutive Champions League titles, and also ushering in an era belonging to him and Manchester United.
Today, Bruno once again scored three goals in a single game against Real Madrid, helping the team to a three-goal lead and basically securing the qualification for this season's Champions League final in advance.
This game can definitely be called one of the brightest moments in Bruno's career. Of course, on the other hand, it is also one of the darkest moments of Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Some Real Madrid players tried to find the referee to discuss whether the penalty should be awarded, but more Real Madrid players were stunned and accepted the result numbly.
Real Madrid's morale suffered a devastating blow!
………………
Although Ancelotti made continuous personnel adjustments after the game resumed, with Vinicius and Camavinga replacing Mbappé and Rodrigo respectively, the offensive effect was still not great.
Although it was called an offensive confrontation, Manchester United actually had the upper hand because their players kept running tirelessly and showed no sign of stopping even after scoring four goals. Everyone seemed to have endless energy, and their running brought great psychological pressure to Real Madrid.
Under the pressure of Manchester United players, Real Madrid players made frequent mistakes.
On the contrary, Manchester United's attack showed no sign of stopping. In the 78th minute, Harry Kane made a powerful long shot from 25 meters in front of the goal, and Courtois made a wonderful save and blocked the ball.
There was a cry of surprise from the stands, and Lineker expressed regret for the goal. If this goal had gone in, Harry Kane would have scored four goals in a single game against Real Madrid!
You know, let alone scoring four goals in the Champions League match against Real Madrid, in the entire history of the Champions League, very few people can score four goals in a single game.
After Harry Kane's shot, Ancelotti used his last substitution and Valverde came on to replace Casemiro.
Manchester United also made substitutions, with young player Bellingham coming on to replace Greenwood, strengthening the midfield defense.
………………
After both sides completed the substitutions, Real Madrid launched a massive attack in a last-ditch effort, but with little success.
In the 94th minute, Real Madrid got a corner kick, which was their last chance to attack. Kroos volleyed the ball in front of the goal, and the ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.
As the football flew out, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
"The game is over!" Lineker shouted excitedly, "Manchester United beat Real Madrid 4-1 at home! This is a score that was hard to imagine before the game! This score basically means that Manchester United has already stepped halfway into the Stade de France!"
"Before the game, many people thought this would be a match where Real Madrid would have the upper hand and successfully seek revenge away from home. But the result was shocking..." He Wei also emphasized the huge score difference. "It seems that Bruno is indeed Real Madrid's nemesis. Real Madrid just can't win against Bruno... Not only can they not win, but they lost so badly this time. Not only Real Madrid fans, but even Manchester United fans probably didn't expect it... But this is football, anything is possible!"
The Spanish TV commentator also had to encourage Real Madrid fans at this time: "Although we lost the game, it doesn't mean it's over. There is still the second round. As long as Real Madrid can beat Manchester United 3-0 at home, they can still advance to the final. And scoring three goals in a single game is not an impossible goal for Real Madrid..."
But if you ask the commentator whether he believes what he said, he probably doesn't know...
………………
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Manchester United's substitutes rushed into the team field and hugged their teammates to celebrate, as excited as if they had already advanced to the final.
Although they all knew that there would be a second round, and that the second round would be played at Real Madrid's home stadium, at this moment, Manchester United players had such confidence that even if there was a second round, even if the second round was played at Real Madrid's home stadium, they would advance to the final, and Real Madrid would definitely not be able to stop them from reaching the final!
At this time, the differences and conflicts before the game seemed to have disappeared, and Rashford was hugged tightly by many teammates.
During the post-match interviews, the Real Madrid players were generally in a bad mood. Some players even refused reporters' requests for interviews in the mixed zone, waving their hands and hurried away.
Those Real Madrid players who were willing to be interviewed tried their best to show that they still had fighting spirit in front of the camera, and placed their hopes on the second round after returning to their home stadium.
During the interview, Carvajal first criticized himself, thinking that his attitude was not right, and then he encouraged himself and his teammates: "We must believe that we can turn the situation around in the next round." After this, he added, "But it's difficult."
Adding this sentence made his previous momentum weaken a lot.
………………
Alaba, who was almost completely defeated by Harry Kane in the game, said after the game that the team would fight to the last minute: "The next game will definitely be very different!"
Courtois, who conceded four goals, also said in an interview after the game: "This team will not give up, never. I am full of faith and hope... Now we should think about next Tuesday's game. We have a historic opportunity and a miracle may happen. But the Bernabeu must lend us a hand, because there will be such moments. We are full of confidence and hope. We have the responsibility to fight to the last minute. We must be unprecedentedly united..."
The Real Madrid players who lost three goals at least said that they did not lose. This is normal. No team can easily admit defeat after such a defeat, otherwise they will be criticized by their supporters and the media.
Of course, we can't give up easily at this time.
If it was Manchester United that suffered such a devastating defeat, they would never give in.
However, it is hard to say whether Real Madrid can really turn the tables when they return to their home court.
But if you don't try hard, there won't be even a shred of hope.
Therefore, the statements made by Real Madrid players are quite normal.
………………
However, Ancelotti admitted defeat very straightforwardly in the post-match press conference. In response to reporters' interview, he said: "The better team won the game, both from an individual and team perspective. They won all one-on-one duels. They played more united and proactive. It was difficult for us to move in the penalty area and we were constantly pressed by the opponent. We didn't know how to respond, but the result can still be reversed."
Perhaps it's because he realizes that he won't be able to continue coaching Real Madrid next season, so he doesn't have to worry about offending Real Madrid fans or the Madrid media by saying these things now...
When asked by a Spanish reporter whether Rashford's fall in the box was a penalty, he said: "I don't want to discuss that, it's just that the better team won the game."
………………
Unlike the Real Madrid players who were depressed and unwilling to be interviewed, or even if they did accept an interview they would still insist on being stubborn, the Manchester United players were simply excited and happy. A big win made them forget all the unpleasantness before the game.
After the game, Harry Kane, who scored a hat trick, was selected as the best player of the game and was interviewed by reporters.
The English striker was smiling in front of the camera, obviously feeling very proud of himself. However, when answering reporters' questions about the hat trick, he unexpectedly thought that all the credit went to Bruno.
"I can score three goals in one game, and I have to thank Bruno the most."
Harry Kane's words are not surprising, because Bruno played a role either directly or indirectly in all three goals he scored.
In Harry Kane's first goal, although Rashford was the direct assist, the attack was instigated by Bruno. And his next two goals were directly assisted by Bruno.
It can be said that without Bruno, Harry Kane would not have had this hat trick.
In fact, many media believe that Bruno is the best player of the game. Not only did he contribute 1 shot and 2 assists in the game, directly participating in three goals, he also instigated another goal for Manchester United.
To put it bluntly, it was Bruno who directed this great victory over Real Madrid!
However, Harry Kane's performance was absolutely perfect.
In such an important match as the Champions League semi-final, scoring a hat trick against Real Madrid is definitely a feat that shocked the world!
