Chapter 688: A New Champions League Single-Season Goal Record
Chapter 688 A new record for goals scored in a single season of the Champions League
Fifteen minutes later, the time unknowingly reached the 70th minute, and the score on the field was still 2:1, with Manchester United leading.
"Manchester United's defense did a good job. Barcelona, which was lagging behind, tried their best, but it has been difficult to find a way to score." Lineker said, "Yin Jun's performance was too good, although Rooney and Cristiano
Ronaldo scored goals respectively, but I think Yin Jun was the one who performed best for Manchester United."
At this time, Deco passed the ball to Xavi. As soon as the latter took the ball, he was stabbed from behind. The football was poked away. Then the man stepped forward and successfully blocked the position. Xavi
Frustrated, I pushed.
Yin Jun's body shook, but he did not fall to the ground, but quickly shot the ball to find O'Shea.
"Beautiful! A textbook steal." Lineker shouted loudly, "Smart Yin Jun, counterattack is coming, Manchester United's counterattack is coming again."
Lineker praised Yin Jun for his smart choice at this time. He could have chosen to fall to the ground and ask for a free kick, but there was no threat from the free kick at this position. Yin Jun keenly sensed that this was an opportunity to counterattack, and he did not fall down.
Instead, he keeps his center of gravity and releases the ball quickly.
O'Shea's straight ball found Giggs in front, and Giggs quickly passed the ball to Yin Jun who was advancing forward.
After Yin Jun passed the ball to O'Shea and signaled the opponent to pass forward, he immediately turned around and moved forward to participate in the team's offense.
Yin Jun thought about what to do when he caught the ball. He directly poked his toe and passed the ball to Rooney.
………………
The football rolled over and Rooney was preparing to score. At the same time, Oleg had already targeted the England striker.
Just when Barcelona's right back was about to sneak up on the opponent from behind, Rooney had long been aware of the situation behind him, but he pretended not to notice it.
When the football rolled in front of him, Rooney moved and knocked the football back with his heel. He turned around with Oleg as a fulcrum and went around in the opposite direction.
"breakthrough!"
"It's over!"
"pretty!"
…
The commentators from all over the world who were broadcasting the game shouted excitedly.
Seeing Rooney striding towards the penalty area with the ball, another Barcelona defender Marcos helplessly stepped forward to meet him.
Then a scene that worried him happened. Rooney pushed the arch of his foot, and the unguarded Ronaldo followed up with a powerful shot!
"Blocked out - oh - damn it!" the Portuguese commentator whined.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't hit the shot that was so close, and he was shocked.
Ronaldo raised his hands, frustrated.
Then, before his frustration fully bloomed, he screamed with excitement. He raised his hands, dropped one hand, slapped the other hand with the other hand, and yelled at the referee: "Handball! Handball!
Handball! Referee, that guy had a handball!"
The referee Hauge's whistle sounded. He rushed into the penalty area, pointed at the penalty spot, and then took out a red card and flashed it towards Barcelona defender Van Bronckhorst.
………………
"Well done!"
"Well done!"
…
Yin Jun, Giggs and others gathered around and praised Ronaldo.
"I did it on purpose." Ronaldo said seriously, "I know that guy can handball, and now it's more cost-effective than scoring goals!"
"Get out of here." Rooney came over and slapped Ronaldo's head away, with a look of contempt on his face: I don't know your shooting level... With such a large shooting angle and space, you couldn't hit it, and you walked away.
Shit luck, it hit the raised arm of the Barcelona left-back near the post.
In Rooney's view, the Barcelona left-back didn't want the handball at all. He simply raised his arm and couldn't avoid it. This was unlucky.
………………
In the 70th minute of the game, Barcelona's left-back Van Bronckhorst was sent off by referee Hauge for a handball in the penalty area, and Manchester United got a penalty kick.
Although Barcelona tried its best to protest and defend, the referee Hauge was firm and upheld his decision, and also showed a yellow card to the emotional Barcelona forward Eto'o.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines, staring at the court. If the penalty kick was scored, Manchester United would be two goals ahead and the championship would be more secure.
The penalty kick was taken by Manchester United captain Yin Junlai.
Referee Hauge's whistle sounded, Yin Jun took a run and shot.
Although Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez made the correct judgment, Yin Jun's shot was at a tricky angle and was fast, and he was unable to save the ball.
"GOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yin Jun! He calmly took the penalty kick. 3:1, Manchester United is two goals ahead!"
"The captain of Manchester United has a big heart and scored the penalty kick!"
"This is the 15th goal that Yin Jun scored in the Champions League this season. He made history and became the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the Champions League! The record of goals in a single season of the Champions League created by AC Milan legend Altafini is on
After being tied by Yin Jun this season, he has been surpassed by Yin Jun this season!"
"3:1! Manchester United leads Barcelona by two goals! The Red Devils are close to their fifth Champions League trophy in team history!"
…
………………
Although Ronaldo's words were a complete joke, compared to scoring directly, this method of scoring a penalty kick plus a red card, and then scoring a penalty kick is indeed a huge blow to the opponent.
To a certain extent, when Yin Jun scored the penalty kick, Barcelona's morale instantly dropped a lot, and some players were even thinking about messy things like "accepting failure."
Yes, the opponent is very strong. They are the Premier League champions. They only defended the Champions League two years ago. Top clubs including AC Milan and Real Madrid have lost to them. They are too strong. We are now two goals behind.
One person was sent off, this game is out of the question, they will lose, and the championship is theirs.
Maybe only one or two players have these depressing thoughts at first, but you know, low morale is contagious.
"Barcelona players have no fighting spirit." Lineker noticed this. "Time passed quickly. It is already 79 minutes. Barcelona is two goals behind. They played in chaos."
As the representative of the Premier League, Manchester United led by two goals, which also made Lineker in a good mood. He said: "After encountering the red dot penalty, Barcelona fell into chaos, although Rijkaard quickly made adjustments and replaced him with Belletti.
Giuly, keep the defense intact. Barcelona has used up all three substitutions, but judging from the situation in these few minutes, Barcelona's substitutions have no effect."
