When the game reached the 70th minute, Manchester United, who had been waiting patiently, finally got the chance they wanted.

When the Celta de Vigo players were fighting in the frontcourt, Manchester United, under the command of Bruno, passed the football backwards, mobilizing the Celta Vigo players to press forward little by little, getting closer and closer. superior.

Then the football was passed to Bruno's feet.

At this time, Bruno no longer passed the football back or sideways, but suddenly made a long pass forward!

He accurately found Lingard with this long pass. After Lingard stopped the ball, he sent the football to the center.

Rooney, who was originally in the middle, was supposed to catch the ball, but when the football rolled in front of him, he suddenly spread his legs and missed the football under his crotch!

This was completely beyond the expectations of Celta's defensive players, and he missed it!

The missed football fell to Rashford's feet. Rashford took advantage of the situation and pushed the football into the penalty area. He shot directly without waiting for Marius to pounce!

That season, Manchester United finally won the Champions League.

Until the end of the game, Aspas was unable to break Manchester United's goal.

This kind of reputation needs to be established through continuous victories and championships. This is true from the previous Community Shield to winning the League Cup.

………………

As he shouted, the ball rolled past Marius' feet and the fingertips of goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez, and then into the goal!

"The ball went in!!! Manchester United scored! Manchester United scored! They led Celta Vigo 1:0 in the away game and had a valuable away goal!"

"Rashford!!" Gary Lineker shouted excitedly.

………………

There is no doubt that after Manchester United defeated Celta Vigo in this game, the above-mentioned embarrassing record was wiped out.

If the Premier League teams perform well in the European war, then the Premier League will surpass La Liga in the future and become the veritable first league.

Perhaps ordinary fans have focused their attention on Rashford who scored a goal, but everyone in the Manchester United team knows very well that Bruno is the core of this team and he is the most indispensable.

While Manchester United players and coaches celebrated the goal excitedly, Celta Vigo's players were stunned.

Some people will say that this is just the Europa League, not the Champions League after all. This time Manchester United only defeated Celta, not Barcelona after all.

However, the Manchester United people did not pay too much attention to the result of this game. On the one hand, this game was strategically abandoned by them, and the loss was expected; on the other hand, because there were 4 rounds left in the league. , Manchester United only needs 3 points, or even 2 points to lock the championship.

In recent years, La Liga teams have achieved outstanding results in the Champions League, Europa League and other competitions, while many Premier League and Bundesliga teams have fallen victim to the name of La Liga powerhouse Hehewe.

After returning from Spain with a first-leg victory and an away goal, Manchester United soon ushered in their league opponent, the powerful rival Arsenal.

The home team Celta Vigo lost to Manchester United by just one goal!

Everyone has set their sights on Aspas, but Aspas, who abused his opponents in the league, let his supporters down.

After winning the away game in the first leg, and returning to home in the second leg, as long as they can draw, Manchester United can advance to this season's Europa League final.

Now it can even be said that Manchester United has already squeezed into the Europa League final!

Although this goal was not assisted by Bruno, it was initiated by him. And before that long pass, Manchester United went through a series of passes and kicks in the backcourt, all controlled by Bruno.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score was fixed at 0:1.

Manchester United players ran towards Rashford who scored and celebrated with him.

The Manchester United players on the pitch were also excited.

And without an offensive organizer, they could only pass the football to Aspas and let the former Liverpool forward use his personal ability to score goals. Unfortunately, Aspas' performance in this game was not satisfactory.

"This is a goal worth a thousand dollars! Taking the lead in the 70th minute not only scores an away goal, but also has a good chance of winning the game!"

Mourinho once said when he took over Manchester United: "We need to re-establish Manchester United's reputation in Europe and the world."

For example, Bayern Munich has been eliminated by the top three of La Liga in the Champions League knockout rounds for four consecutive years.

He has repeatedly emphasized that Celta Vigo is a difficult opponent to deal with, and Manchester United must not take it lightly when they return to home in the second round.

He is not a supporter of Manchester United, but in the European war, he is a supporter of all Premier League teams, and he hopes that the Premier League teams can achieve good results.

The same is true for Manchester United. Before this game against Celta Vigo, Manchester United had played against La Liga teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Europa League and other competitions in the last 6 times, with a record of 1 draw, 5 losses and no wins.

Manchester United, which almost played with a full substitute lineup, lost to Arsenal with a score of 0:2 in the away game without any surprise.

Bellizzo also said at the post-match press conference that he would not give up after a small loss. There is still a second round in the game. Even if the second round is away, he and the team will go all out. It is not said yet. When to give up.

Before this battle, Manchester United had not defeated a La Liga team in European competitions for 7 years. Their last victory was in September 2010, when Manchester United defeated Valencia 1:0 in the Champions League group stage.

If we only count the knockout rounds, the last time Manchester United defeated a La Liga team in the European knockout rounds was in the Champions League semi-finals in the 2007-2008 season. Manchester United drew 0:0 away with Barcelona, ​​​​and defeated Ronaldinho and Messi 1:0 at home. Knocked out.

Bruno was hugged by Kanter halfway, and the two ran towards Rashford together.

………………

………………

A one-goal lead is really a very subtle score. It will neither make the leader lose vigilance nor make the laggard lose hope.

The fourth place in the league will be between Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. Although Arsenal is ranked sixth, they have one game less. Now they unexpectedly grabbed 3 points from Manchester United, and they finally stood on the same starting line as Liverpool and Manchester City.

The first leg of the Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo was played on the evening of May 4, while the 36th round of the Premier League away to the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal was on the afternoon of May 7, with less than 72 seconds left in between. Hours later, he had to return from Spain and then rush to London. The players had a serious lack of rest time, so Mourinho performed a rotation in this game, and it was a large-scale rotation. Even Bruno was left by him. to Manchester.

But now, Manchester United has shown the momentum to end the period of sinking and has begun to follow an obvious upward trend. This landmark victory after 9 years is a signal and an inspiring battle flag.

"The game is over! 1:0! Manchester United won! They got an away goal and a victory! It's perfect!" Gary Lineker was very happy.

Indeed, there is indeed a gap between Manchester United today and 9 years ago. This is a fact.

It can be said that Mourinho strategically gave up this game with Arsenal.

They had been attacking for so long without scoring, and Manchester United scored after just one sneak attack. Isn't this too unfair?

After the game restarted, Celta Vigo launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal, hoping to blast away Manchester United's goal. But their offensive thinking is a bit confusing. Some people want to cross from the wing, while others want to attack from the center.

However, Mourinho was still very calm. In an interview with reporters after the game, he said that Manchester United only led by one goal in the total score, which was not a safe score.

At present, the top three rankings in the league have basically been determined. Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham have a very obvious points advantage over the following teams.

Facing Celta Vigo's pressing attack, Bruno's calm and precise distribution prevented Manchester United from intercepting the ball in the backcourt. So Bruno has to take credit for this goal.

For the Red Devils, this is a victory of great historical significance. This victory also awakens many old fans' happy memories from 9 years ago.

Facing the Manchester United defense headed by Kante and Maguire, Aspas did not have much room to perform, so it was naturally very difficult to perform well.

Celta Vigo, playing at home, needs someone to step up and equalize the score for the team, or even win the final victory.

From the decline in Manchester United's competitiveness in Europe after Cristiano Ronaldo left the team and the passing of the Big Ears Cup; to the decline in Manchester United's competitiveness in the Premier League after Ferguson left the team, so much so that they can't even play in the Champions League now, it can be said that these 9 Manchester United has continued to decline over the years.

Manchester United won the Champions League after knocking out Barcelona 9 years ago. Manchester United has had a dismal record against La Liga teams in the past 9 years. Nine years later, Manchester United was once again able to defeat the Spanish powerhouse in the European semi-finals. This time, can the Red Devils be crowned again?

The Gunners secured three key points to qualify for next season's Champions League.

………………

………………

Now, even if it's just the Europa League, even if it's just Celta, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that as long as Manchester United continues to win and continue to compete for trophies, the Red Devils will get closer and closer to the status they originally deserved.

But the important thing is not the comparison, but the team's development trajectory. If 9 years ago was the peak of Manchester United's team history, then in the past 9 years, Manchester United has experienced a very painful reconstruction cycle.

So there is still suspense in the second round of the game, which is probably the best result for the television broadcasters.

Moreover, 9 years later, Manchester United also defeated a La Liga team in the European semi-finals. This is undoubtedly an excellent psychological hint for the Red Devils and will also remind many fans of their happiness back then.

Furthermore, Manchester United's new opponent is coming soon, and that is Celta Vigo.

Although Manchester United won the first leg away from home, there is still a long way to go before they can secure a ticket to the Europa League final. In this round of competition, Manchester United still needs to work hard at home to truly enter the Europa League finals this season.
