Chapter 672 The suspense continues

Three days later, Manchester United, who flew to Villarreal, started a fierce battle with Villarreal at the Love Song Stadium on this year's Champions League final. Manchester United, based on defense, played steadily away. After a fierce battle of 90 minutes, the two sides exchanged a blank sheet.

In this way, Manchester United eliminated Villarreal with a total score of 1:0 in two rounds with a 1:0 victory in the first leg, and advanced to the Champions League final for the third time in four years!

On the second day after Manchester United advanced, at the Camp Nou Stadium, Arsenal and Barcelona also had a white match. The total score in the two rounds was 0:1. The Gunners were blocked by the Red and Blues in the Champions League final goal frame, and Wenger missed the opportunity to launch an impact on the Champions League in front of his fellow villagers.

On the evening of May 17, Manchester United will compete with Barcelona for the Champions League championship this season at the Stadium in France!

……………………

After returning to the UK, Manchester United took a short rest and, led by Ferguson, took a train to London.

On April 29, the most popular Premier League focus battle this season was launched at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Before this round of the game, Manchester United and Chelsea each scored 95 points and 88 points after 35 rounds of the league. As long as the Red Devils can beat Chelsea in this game, they can win the Premier League championship trophy this season at their opponent's home court.

Although the possibility of reversing Manchester United to win the championship is almost zero, Chelsea will never tolerate their opponents winning the championship at home, so all parties predict that this game will definitely be a battle.

But when Manchester United's 18-man roster was released, people found that things might not be the same as they imagined. Because Manchester United's regular main lineup this season, including Yin Jun, Fanny, Rooney, Rooney, Ferdinand, Vidic, Gary Neville, and Evra, did not even make the roster!

In other words, Ferguson has strategically given up on this game, and the Red Devils will play in this game as a substitute!

This is really unexpected!

However, after considering the current reality of Manchester United, Ferguson's choice is reasonable.

……………………

Before this game, Manchester United fought fiercely. In the past month, Manchester United played 9 games, and this game against Chelsea was the 10th. The whole game was a double match a week, and the opponents were all difficult to deal with.

Especially in the past half month, Manchester United has faced Tottenham and Chelsea one after another, and has also played against the super dark horse Villarreal in the Champions League two games, and has not received any rest at all.

Although Manchester United has entered the FA Cup and Champions League finals in succession and maintained a huge advantage over Chelsea in the league, the physical fitness of Manchester United players has encountered a huge crisis.

In this case, even if the main players are all out, it will be difficult to defeat Chelsea to the top at Stamford Bridge Stadium, which has set a record of unbeaten at home.

Since Mourinho entered Stamford Bridge in early 2004, the Madman's team has never lost in the home league.

This record can even be traced back to when Mourinho was the head coach of Porto, which was February 2002. It has been more than 4 years so far, with 70 games!

In this case, it is better to give up this game, give the main players enough rest, and then seek a plan to win the championship in the next two home games.

This can be considered as retreating to advance.

After all, judging from the current points situation, Manchester United will win another victory and the championship will be won!

……………………

Manchester United plays with a full substitute, so naturally it is impossible for Chelsea to be an opponent. In the end, Galas, Joe Cole and Carvalho each scored one goal, and the Blues defeated their opponent 3-0 at home.

However, Mourinho was not happy, very unhappy.

He would rather Ferguson fight him at Stamford Bridge with his main lineup, because for him, that would be a better result, which could consume Manchester United's strength, create opportunities for Middlesbrough and Charlton's last two games at Old Trafford, and also create opportunities for Chelsea's comeback.

But now Ferguson avoided fighting, giving the main players plenty of rest, which made Middlesbrough and Charlton almost no chance of being upset at Old Trafford.

Mourinho felt like he was hitting cotton with one punch. When he saw the starting lineup sent by Ferguson, he almost vomited blood.

But no matter what, as Chelsea defeated Manchester United at home, the Blues still retained their last face and did not witness their opponents win the championship trophy at home.

……………………

On the evening of May 1, a supplementary match in the 36th round of the Premier League was held at Old Trafford Stadium, with Middlesbrough challenging Manchester United away.

Mibao is considered Manchester United's miserable this season. When the two sides met at the Riverside Stadium in the first leg, the Red Devils suffered the most painful defeat of the season, which even led to the departure of the team's meritorious captain Roy Keane.

For Manchester United, this is also a battle of revenge.

What's more, they urgently need a victory to secure the league championship.

Therefore, for Manchester United, their fighting spirit in this game is unquestionable.

After the game started, the main player of Manchester United, who had enough rest, launched a fierce attack on Middlesbrough's goal, vowing to swallow the opponent in one breath.

However, after the 90-minute game, the score on the field was still 0:0!

Manchester United failed to win the opponent at home!

When the game ended, Ferguson even had a dark face when shaking hands with his former assistant McLaren!

At that moment, the old man must be thinking, why is this guy so lacking in vision? Before, the situation was not clear, it would be fine to defeat Manchester United, not to mention that he caused trouble for Chelsea and Arsenal in the future, but now the situation is obvious. As long as Manchester United wins, they can win the championship. Why is this guy still doing so hard?

Manchester United unexpectedly failed to win Middlesbrough, which gave Chelsea hope behind him. A day later, in another supplementary match of the 36th round of the Premier League at Ewood Park Stadium, although Mark Hughes wanted to help his mentor, he once led the team to lead the Blues 1:0 in the first half, but the team was limited in strength. When Chelsea made a full counterattack in the second half, he failed to withstand it and lost 1:2.

In this way, with only the last round left in the Premier League, the Premier League champion is still undecided.

Manchester United scored 96 points in 31 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in 37 league rounds, but Chelsea scored 94 points in 30 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in 37 league rounds!

The Premier League champion this season will have to be decided in the last round!

One thing that is certain is that whether the championship is ultimately owned by Manchester United or Chelsea, the team that won the runner-up will definitely break the record of the highest runner-up in the five major leagues set by Manchester United last season!
