Chapter 161: The Accident of the League

The outcome of this game is not actually the focus of attention, after all, Manchester United has not been able to achieve an absolute advantage, and the second leg between the two sides is still in suspense.

The focus of the next day's news media coverage was not the result of the game, but the feud between Li Qingshan and Ramos during the game.

"Ramos's two red card moves escaped the penalty, which is really not appropriate for the famous German whistle Bruch, at least Ramos after the first foul, the referee will give him a warning, and Ramos's second tackle, now I will be shocked to watch the replay, to be honest, such an action should not appear on the football field at all, Ramos is completely aimed at Li Qingshan's ankle!! Fortunately, Li Qingshan jumped up in advance, otherwise if he was trampled on by Ramos, Li Qingshan would probably suffer the first serious injury of his career! ”

After the game, the media in England focused on Ramos' foul and lashed out at Ramos' actions.

On the Spanish side, most of the media invariably skipped Ramos's two possible red card actions, and focused on whether Li Qingshan was subjective when taking free kicks.

Marca newspaper slammed on the front page: "As we all know, Li Qingshan is not Manchester United's free kick penalty taker, and before we watched this ball penalty, it was Mata and Di Maria who were discussing the penalty, and Li Qingshan went directly to snatch the free kick officiation, in the face of Li Qingshan's strong position in the Manchester United team, Mata and Di Maria could only reluctantly give up their right to take free kicks, and we can see from the TV picture that when Li Qingshan was running, his eyes were always staring at Ramos!" We have every reason to believe that this Chinese kicked this free kick with the intention of deliberately boring!! Even if the referee didn't find out at the time, he should have been punished after the game!! ”

Marca's calculation is very good, if Li Qingshan is banned from the game, even if Ramos is also punished because of the previous two actions, and both of them are absent from the next round of the league, then it is Real Madrid who earns.

What does Li Qingshan's absence mean for Manchester United?

If there is no Li Qingshan, Manchester United's attack power will drop by at least 50%!!

On Real Madrid's side, even if Ramos is absent, they still have Varane to make up for it, and the impact on Real Madrid's strength is far less than that of Manchester United, which relies too much on Li Qingshan.

........

There are plenty of stories about the match between Manchester United and Real Madrid, while Manchester City, another team who reached the semi-finals, also ended their quarter-final first leg.

Manchester City's first leg was played away from home, at the Parc des Princes in Paris, where Manchester City drew 2-2 with Paris Saint-Germain and picked up two away goals. Manchester City have the upper hand in the two-legged format, and as long as they can get a draw with no more than two goals at home in the next second leg, or beat Paris Saint-Germain, then they can ensure a place in the last four.

Both English teams have a high probability of reaching the semi-finals, which has excited the English media, which is a rare occurrence in recent years.

In other games, Bayern Munich beat Benfica 1-0 at home to the Allianz Arena to get ahead of the competition. In another La Liga civil war, Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 at Camp Nou, and although the home win was won, it also allowed Atletico Madrid to get an away goal, leaving the second leg of the game more suspenseful.

........

While the media was still spitting over the Champions League game and the aftermath of the Champions League was still rippling, the attention of the whole Manchester United team also shifted to the league.

Three days after their Champions League clash with Real Madrid, Manchester United travel to north London to take on Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

The Premier League has come to the 32nd round, and counting this round of the league, there are still seven rounds of Premier League games left.

At this time, Manchester United are top of the league with 79 points, while Leicester City behind them have 66 points, 13 points behind Manchester United in second place.

United only need three more league wins to secure this season's Premier League trophy back to Old Trafford, so Carlo Ancelotti has almost the full squad in his squad for this game.

With the exception of Herrera, who returned from injury, who replaced Carrick, and Carlo Ancelotti who started in place of Kramer in the midfield position, the rest of the positions are still the same line-up that they beat Real Madrid in the last Champions League game.

Manchester United are bound to win this game!

Get nine more points and you'll be able to win the Premier League title four rounds ahead of schedule! What a temptation for this group of Manchester United players.

However, this game was not won by Manchester United.

In the ninth minute, Tottenham scored!

Harry Kane received a pass from Eriksen and scored a one-on-one goal after successfully countering offside, helping Tottenham to take a 1-0 lead at home!

Harry Kane celebrated wildly after the goal, and the rest of the Tottenham players were excited.

They certainly have reason to be happy, after all, in addition to the fact that they are leading Manchester United, they also need points in the table to retain their third place in the league - behind them is Tottenham's arch-rival Arsenal, who of course hopes to continue to suppress their arch-rival in points, you know, in the past, when the league has reached this stage, Tottenham's points have often been suppressed by Arsenal.

As for Harry Kane, who has scored 23 league goals so far, he ranks second in the scorers' charts, and without Li Qingshan, the England centre-forward is very likely to reach the Golden Boot this season.

It's a pity that the gap between him and Li Qingshan is too big now, so it is basically impossible to get the golden boot, but this does not prevent him from fighting when facing Li Qingshan's team.

The early conceded goal made Manchester United have to press up and attack, but unfortunately the French goalkeeper Lloris performed quite well in this game, he resisted high and blocked Manchester United's must-score goals in succession.

And in the second half of the game, Manchester United, who had been unable to attack for a long time, conceded again, and this time it was still Harry Kane who scored!

This time he took advantage of the free-kick opportunity to score directly!

Two to zero!!

Carlo Ancelotti held his forehead off the pitch, and the Champions League game in midweek still had some impact on Manchester United.

Until the end of the game, Manchester United failed to equalize the score, and Leicester City on the other side defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 away from home, and once again chased the point difference with Manchester United, which also made Manchester United's dream of winning the championship in advance can only be pushed back.
