In the early morning of April 29, Beijing time, the 37th round of the Premier League ushered in a game first, Manchester United home against Chelsea. In just two minutes of the second half, each team scored a goal, Alonso broke the deadlock for Chelsea, and Cristiano quickly scored to help United equalize 1-1.
At present, Chelsea are third in the standings with 65 points in 32 rounds, 7 points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in one less round, sixth in 34 rounds, and 6 points behind Arsenal in one more round, with no hope of competing for next season's Champions League qualification.
When Manchester United were desperate for the fourth place, they only led seventh-place West Ham United by two points, and if they finished seventh, the Red Devils were forced to participate in UEFA's third-tier club competition in the European Union.
In terms of Manchester United's starting lineup, Marcus Rashford, Ilanga and Ronaldo partnered with the forward trident, B Fee led the midfield, Chelsea sent Jorginho, Kante, Marcos Alonso, Mount and Havertz to play five midfielders, and Werner played as a single arrow.
Chelsea failed to take advantage of a number of scoring opportunities in the first half, and De Gea repeatedly made saves to become United's busiest player, maintaining a 0-0 draw.
In the 61st minute of the second half, James sent a cross, Havertz crossed the box, and Alonso volleyed into the goal to help Chelsea take a 1-0 lead.
Manchester United trailed by 2 minutes and Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up as the savior.
In the 63rd minute, Chelsea's backfield mistake was snatched, Manchester United immediately counterattacked, Nemanja Matic passed the ball into the box, C Ronaldo understood the meeting and stopped the ball into the net, in one fell swoop, helping Manchester United equalize 1-1.
In the last game against Arsenal, it was Ronaldo who scored the first goal for Manchester United, and now against Chelsea continues to perform this way. With this goal, Ronaldo equalized Son Heung-min, and both ranked second in the Premier League top scorers list with 17 goals.
For Cristiano Ronaldo, who had never broken Chelsea's goal in his Premier League career, he finally broke the spell and continued to set a new official goal record for football with his 812th goal of his career. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score five consecutive Premier League goals since Van Persie in April 2013, and also finished 32nd in the premier league's all-time top scorer list with 101 goals, setting three consecutive records.
After returning to Manchester United this season, C Ronaldo has repeatedly saved Manchester United, and without his performance, the Red Devils will withdraw from the competition for four early and it will be difficult to qualify for the Champions League group stage. Many fans have questioned the decline in United's performance caused by the return of Ronaldo, but in fact, the collective downturn of the players in the midfield and the inaction of the club's top brass are the main reasons.
