Chapter 573: Reaching the Finals!
There is still one minute before the end of the game, and even with the two minutes of stoppage time, it is only three minutes.
Even a cosmic team like Barcelona can't score Manchester United's three goals in three minutes. Their Champions League journey this season is coming to an end.
Despite this, Barcelona's players on the field still did not give up hope. They know in their hearts that it is impossible to break into the Champions League final, but for the dignity of the giants, even if there is one second left, they will insist on fighting until the end!
In the last three minutes, the Barcelona players led by Messi launched a crazy onslaught.
Now even Pique has rushed forward, wanting to make amends.
The morale of the Manchester United players was boosted at this time. Under the leadership of Vidic, they took strict precautions against defending.
Although the chances of victory are already in his hands, before the end of the game, Jin Taige will definitely not take it lightly. He yelled at the players on the sidelines, telling them not to be distracted, to continue to defend and keep the final victory.
When the referee blew the final whistle, Jin Taige raised his fists presumptuously, and his depression that had been suppressed for a long time was completely vented at this moment: "We have entered the final!!!"
At this time, Scholes and Phelan led the coaching staff and substitute players, and rushed onto the court long ago, celebrating with the main players.
At the moment when the final whistle blew, many Manchester United players on the field fell to the ground. This game is really tough!
Barcelona's attack was like a devil, so that they did not dare to relax for a moment, and their hearts were kept in their throats.
At this point, the game is over, they have won, and they have reached the finals, so they are completely relaxed.
Goalkeeper Alisson was sitting in the goal. He looked at the team celebrating on the field, and his heart was very happy at this time!
Because of De Gea's injury, it turned out to be Alisson. In the last few games, Alisson has performed very well. He used his wonderful performance to tell everyone that he is not inferior to De Gea, and he is also one of the best goalkeepers in Europe!
Captain Nemanja Vidic insisted on coming to the sidelines to thank the fans. He had already suffered from cramps in this game, and now he can't even walk with a limp. But because the number of substitutions has been exhausted, he can only continue to insist. Despite this, he still blocked Suarez's strong shot with his body at the last moment. He deserves to be the captain of Manchester United!
Ashley Young and Valencia are the key men in this game. They perfectly completed the marking task in this game, so that Messi and Neymar did not get any good chances to score goals. Their performance received applause from the fans!
And Kante, Nainggolan and many other players are also running excitedly on the court. It is the hard work of everyone that allows them to win against Barcelona!
At this time in Barcelona's half, Van Persie, the only goal scorer of the game, was sitting on the ground. Although he only played half of the game, he was still a little tired. This is because he fought hard in the recent stage, and immediately returned to the penalty area after scoring a goal, and defended the last three minutes perfectly. Today he is the soul of Manchester United!
But at this time Van Persie was not too excited, he sat in the center of the field, a little dazed.
Have we reached the Champions League final yet?
Can I finally play a Champions League final?
Van Persie suddenly remembered May 17, 2006, a day he will never forget.
He joined Arsenal, which was in full swing at the time, in 2004. Two years later, that invincible Arsenal broke into the Champions League final. Van Persie was put on the substitute list by Wenger, ready to play at any time.
But because of a red card in that game, Arsenal's dream of winning the Champions League was ruined, and Van Persie's dream of the final was also ruined. Because of one less player, Wenger did not give the young Van Persie a chance to play in the end, and Arsenal could only lose the game regrettably.
At that time, Arsenal's opponent was Barcelona, the opponent he defeated today. And after 9 years, he was able to kill his enemies and step on the shoulders of Barcelona to advance to the final.
This feeling is really... so cool!
Van Persie can now imagine that more than half a month later, he appeared in the Champions League final, continued to use his outstanding performance to help the team score goals, and finally won the Champions League!
Now for me, the biggest dream is to win the Champions League!
Van Persie was in a daze when suddenly someone patted him behind him. Van Persie looked back, it turned out to be Lampard.
Lampard pulled up Van Persie who was sitting on the ground, and he smiled all over his face: "Robin, you are the hero of this game, why are you sitting here alone in a daze?"
Van Persie smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just remembered the scene of the last Champions League final."
Only then did Lampard understand, and he nodded: "It was the game in 2006, I remember, when Arsenal almost won the Champions League, but it was ruined by a red card."
Van Persie said with regret: "I didn't get a chance to play in that game, it's really a pity."
Lampard smiled and said: "Robin, I can guarantee that you will be able to play in this Champions League final."
"I hope so, but it doesn't matter if I can't play, as long as Manchester United can win, I will be very happy." Van Persie looked at his teammates who were still celebrating on the court, and said with emotion.
At this time, Lampard suddenly felt very moved, and he also remembered his experience in the two Champions League finals. In 2008, Chelsea reached the Champions League final, but was defeated by Manchester United and eventually missed the championship. They also scored a goal in that game. I remember at the end of the game, he once said: "Even if I didn't score or play, I still hope Chelsea can win the championship!"
The tone of my speech at that time was so similar to today's Van Persie!
But now? Lampard was kicked out by Chelsea, and finally put on the Manchester United jersey and became a member of the Red Devils.
But for the Champions League, Lampard has no regrets. In the 2012 UEFA Champions League final, Chelsea finally won the penalty shootout and won the UEFA Champions League trophy for the first time in team history.
Since then, Lampard's league dream and Champions League dream have been completely fulfilled.
But despite this, the 36-year-old Lampard still refuses to accept his old age. When he left Chelsea, he was thinking that if he could win another league trophy or a Champions League trophy at the last moment of his career, then he would really have no regrets and be extremely satisfied with his career up.
And in the Champions League final more than half a month later, can they really get their wish, win the Champions League trophy and stand on top of Europe?
