Chapter 160: Manchester United and Real Madrid's Confidence

"It's over!!"

"Manchester United beat Real Madrid 1-0 at their home stadium! It wasn't a surprise, as United took the lead over the two legs, failing to allow Real Madrid to score away and winning at home! ”

"Real Madrid want to beat Manchester United on their home turf, we can't say it's not possible, but it's going to be a lot more difficult because even if it's a 1-0 scoreline, it's just a draw with Manchester United, and if you want Manchester United to score away goals, you need at least two goals to win."

"This means that Manchester United is half of the way to the semi-finals!!"

Andy Gray chanted from the commentary booth.

For the Premier League, in the Champions League in recent years, the Premier League teams have indeed performed poorly, and their European points may even be surpassed by the Bundesliga, so now the English also hope that the Premier League teams can give more strength in the European competition, at least to hold the second place in the Premier League European points.

Of course, the commentator of Spanish TV wanted to encourage Real Madrid at this time: "Although we lost the game, it doesn't mean the end, the 0-1 score is not the end, and there is still a second leg, Real Madrid who return to the Bernabeu only needs to beat Manchester United 2-0 or 3-1 to advance to the semi-finals." And beating Manchester United by more than two goals is not impossible for Real Madrid. ”

United's substitutes rushed onto the pitch and hugged their team-mates in celebration, with a 1-0 victory giving them the advantage in the second leg and arguably a high chance of progressing to the semi-finals.

And they also have a lot of confidence, even in the second leg, Real Madrid want to not let them score, or win by more than two goals, it will be difficult for them to pass this hurdle!

This season's continuous victories have allowed the players to accumulate enough confidence! Even when they go to the Bernabeu, they are not afraid at all.

In their post-match interviews, Real Madrid's players were generally not in high spirits, having lost a game and yet failed to score an away goal.

Ramos pointed to his nose in an interview and said, "He did it on purpose!! The referee should have sent him off right then! ”

Real Madrid's fans are also worried about this, thinking that the referee let Li Qingshan go for a malicious act, after all, if Li Qingshan is sent off, it is not impossible for Manchester United, which has one less player, to be equalized by Real Madrid or even overtake the score.

These people completely forgot that Ramos's previous two actions were enough to deserve a red card, but the referee did not blow it......

"We believe we can reverse it in the next round!" After slamming Li Qingshan, Ramos, as captain, also needs to boost the team's morale.

"When we get to the Bernabeu, we'll let them know!!"

Pepe also said in an interview: "Yes, the next game will be very different, we will win at home and then advance to the semi-finals!! ”

Luka Modric said: "Manchester United's midfield is tough defensively, which makes it a bit difficult for us to attack, but at the Bernabeu we will use our attack to break down the direction of the opponent and we will advance to the semi-finals at home!" ”

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a lot of chances in the game but couldn't take them, also said in an interview after the game: "We are not very lucky, but we will not give up. I'm full of belief and hope that we can come back from home. It's been great to play at Old Trafford and thank you to the Manchester United fans for welcoming me, but I want to say sorry first, I'll do my best to help Real Madrid qualify at the Bernabeu! ”

Having only lost by one goal, Real Madrid certainly hasn't come to throw in the towel.

If it was Manchester United who lost a goal, they would never admit defeat.

Not to mention losing one goal, even if you lose a few more, if there is still hope, you will never admit defeat easily.

Because in world football, there are many cases of miraculous reversals, and if you don't try hard, there will be no hope at all.

So the Real Madrid players were in a bad mood after losing the attack, but they didn't feel that the end of the world had come.

And Manchester United beat Real Madrid by one goal, but in the eyes of the outside world, it is still quite optimistic that Real Madrid can complete the reversal at home.

From the bookmaker's apology, it can also be seen that the bookmaker is still relatively optimistic about Real Madrid. In the championship odds list, although Real Madrid's compensation after the loss has dropped slightly, to 5.6, it is still second only to Barcelona at 4.15, while Manchester United's odds to win the championship have risen slightly, to 7.8, behind Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.

Zinedine Zidane was very quick to admit his team's defeat after the game: "Manchester United played to their advantage on their home turf, so they won the game, unfortunately we couldn't take our chance and get an away goal. But back on our home turf we're going to respond in our own way. ”

"I don't know if Li Qingshan did it on purpose, but I think on the court, the players should not be so angry, and don't play with the intention of hurting the opponent. I think it's about good young players, sometimes character is just as important as quality. When asked by reporters about the conflict between Li Qingshan and Ramos, Zidane said.

"Of course it wasn't meant to be!" Ancelotti, an Italian, was also asked about this question, which he flatly denied.

"I don't think you should pay attention to whether a player kicks the ball in the face of an opposing player when he takes a free kick on purpose, I don't think Li Qingshan's footwork can be accurate to this extent in a distance of more than nine meters. I think we should pay more attention to Ramos's two malicious fouls on Li Qingshan, which can be clearly seen to be a red card action!! Ramos should have been sent off a long time ago, that's all I have to say!! ”

"No, no, no, I don't mean to criticize the referee, the referee did a great job!" Ancelotti shook his head solemnly and skipped the hole that the reporter had dug for him.

After this game, the score of 1-0 made both teams dare not take the second leg of the game lightly.

Real Madrid's players and fans alike are confident of a comeback from the second leg, while Manchester United are also hungry to progress to the semi-finals.

When there is a chance to challenge for the Champions League, every player will give it their all.
