On the first day of the Champions League knockout round, Paris won 1-0 against Real Madrid, and such a score in the second leg is still suspenseful. The match was stunning by Mbappe, with Messi conceding a penalty considered sleepwalking. Another Premier League make-up match Manchester United defeated Brighton 2-0, C Ronaldo broke through the wilderness while offering an extremely good battle, which can also be regarded as justifying his own name, and C Ronaldo also got high scores after the game, which also means that he is in excellent condition. The fact that United won the top four in this game was of greater significance to the team, and after the game, all parties thought that the team might start a small climax under the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mero is the ultimate double pride in football, although the two are older, but each season is still compared together, especially this year Messi won the Ballon d'Or, people demand more of him, and his performance is not stable, but also disappointing the fans. Messi's instability in addition to the problem of competition, there should also be a problem of mentality. Real Madrid in this round of the Champions League is a very familiar opponent to Messi, or home games, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibay Courtois is also very well known to Messi, Messi should naturally have a better performance, but the penalty is disappointing, because the penalty point tests the mentality, Messi lost the penalty because the mentality is out of balance.
Messi played the whole game in this game, he and Kylian Mbappe and other teammates have some cooperation, but also created some opportunities, but they failed to score directly or send assists, which is also a manifestation of the key deficiency, so people think that Paris is Mbappe's team at all. It is worth mentioning that people are not satisfied with Messi's performance, not only because he has conceded a penalty, but also because his ability to seize opportunities has also declined. Messi's joining Paris is considered to help the team go further in the Champions League, and this game has almost become a sinner, and this gap is also unacceptable to many people. After the game, some fans believed that Mbappe saved Messi, because if it ended in a draw, people would think that Messi was the culprit.
Real Madrid only lost 0-1 to Paris because Courtois was solid enough to save at least three chances for his opponents to score goals and become the busiest person on the pitch, while Paris goalkeeper Donnarumma was very idle. Messi played the game, with 8 shots on goal, 2 shots on target, 4 threatening passes, 7 passes, but did not participate in the goal. The team shot 23 times in the whole game, 8 shots on target, Messi's shots on goal are indeed a bit much, which shows how many offensive opportunities he missed.
Unlike Messi, Ronaldo scored key goals in the playoffs, and the performance of the whole game was remarkable, so people would compare Ronaldo and Messi after the game. After Messi joined Paris, although his performance was not as good as expected, he did not encounter the low view and criticism from all sides. After C Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, he also became a key gentleman in many games, but after the game of not scoring goals and the team's loss of points, C Ronaldo was accused and questioned by various accusations and questions, and hoped that the team would send C Ronaldo as soon as possible, so the two were also different in pressure. C Ronaldo is older and bears more pressure, so it is indeed not easy to adjust and improve the state of self-adjustment, this round of make-up is a game that cannot lose points, C Ronaldo can withstand the pressure to break the deadlock is more difficult, which also shows that C Ronaldo's recent state has really improved.
Cristiano Ronaldo's professionalism is recognized, and whether it is a goal in a row or in the dilemma of scoring a goal, he is not a lone wolf in his offensive choices in the game, and he will always pass the ball to his teammates according to the situation on the field, in order to help the team lock in the victory as early as possible. In the make-up match against Brighton, he first gave Sancho the ball, and his teammates almost scored. Unable to take the lead in the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo began to play the role of Mr. Key, also from a teammate's pass, he directly swung the ball past the defender to score the ball, and the goal was as fast and accurate as Mbappe's goal to kill Real Madrid.
After the game, the Manchester United manager publicly stated that Ronaldo's goals were all key goals and that he was extremely important to the team. In the whole game, Ronaldo created three opportunities to score goals, one pass to B Fee, in fact, he can also attack the goal, but he chose a teammate with a better position. Cristiano Ronaldo touched the ball 40 times in this game, the pass success rate was 84%, and the other two were all successful, and the opponent also wondered why he could not limit the 37-year-old veteran. Because of his excellent performance, C Luo won the best in the whole game after the game, which is also deserved.
In fact, Paris is in the first place in Ligue 1, the team can fight for the Champions League, messi has no key performance and there is no excuse. Because Real Madrid is also a familiar opponent to Mei Qiu Wang, the latter should be more targeted than other teammates, unfortunately his performance is not even as good as against other teams. Messi will return to La Liga in the champions league next leg, and Messi at the Bernabeu of Real Madrid also hopes to justify his excellent performance, but whether he can do so still needs to be demonstrated in the game.
The pressure remains after United return to the top four, as West Ham behind them are only 2 points less than the Red Devils, so they need to go all out in every game. The current situation in the Premier League for the fourth place is very serious, Arsenal, Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur are currently playing 2 or 3 rounds less, and if these make-up matches are won, they will threaten Manchester United's current ranking, so the subsequent matches cannot be lost. The team's next fixture is the Premier League away to Leeds United at 22:00 on February 22, and the Champions League away match against Atletico Madrid will be played at 4:00 am on the 24th, because the time is tight, it is also considered the devil's schedule. United's subsequent league games had to rotate because champions league opponents were stronger and the failure of the core players to take turns was likely to lead to away defeat.
It is worth mentioning that manchester united and Paris are not in the front of the Champions League odds this season, currently Manchester City 3.75, Bayern 4.50, Liverpool 6.00, Chelsea 7.00, Paris Saint-Germain 9.00, Ajax 15.00, Real Madrid 17.00, Manchester United 19.00, it is obvious that the odds are not good for Manchester United, and Manchester City has been high for two consecutive seasons, but last season still missed the Champions League trophy. Looking back at last season's Champions League odds, the first Bayern 4/1, the second is Manchester City 9/2, followed by Liverpool 11/2, Real Madrid 10/1, Greater Paris 10/1, Barca 14/1, Juve 16/1, Dortmund 22/1, Chelsea 22/1, did not expect that the final winner was Chelsea, Manchester City but hated. According to the odds and final results of last season, Manchester United still have hope this season, depending on whether C Ronaldo can sacrifice several consecutive games in the subsequent competitions.
