At the same time as the semi-finals of the Europa League Androba are in full swing, a focus battle in the 37th round of the Premier League has been carried out ahead of schedule, which is the last red and blue battle of the season.
The Premier League officially arranged the red and blue battle at this time, which was really unexpected and embarrassed the warring sides. In contrast: Manchester City and Liverpool are competing in the Champions League semi-finals, and it seems that the two teams are very promising to meet in the final; West Ham United, although they lost 1-2 in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, still have the opportunity to advance to the final; Leicester City and Roma are 1-1 in the semi-finals of the European Association Cup, and the second leg of the two sides is bound to be more intense.
As for the North London Duo, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will face out for the final Champions League ticket next season, but Chelsea and Manchester United have no desire for anything.
Chelsea are fine, the third place in the Premier League is already a nail, there is still an FA Cup title to fight for, and it is already valuable to be trapped in the storm of sanctions and have such a performance. On the other hand, Manchester United, how many games are still 6 points behind Arsenal, the dream of fighting for four has been shattered, and the dressing room is still a chicken feather, which is really regrettable.
This red and blue war has become a chicken rib, but for the sake of face, the two sides still have to go all out.
Despite coming from afar, Chelsea launched an onslaught into the heart of Manchester United after the start. For Chelsea, liverpool and Manchester City have beaten Manchester United in two legs this season, while they were forced to draw 1-1 by Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in a good situation, which kicked off the prelude to losing points and losing the top spot.
For the Blues, it is really a shame, and this loss of face is naturally to find it back in Old Trafford. Tuchel's agile no-front tactics easily tore apart United's defence, but thankfully a De Gea stood in front of the goal.
Havertz's two consecutive imperative shots were magically saved by De Gea, and his heroic performance made Tuchel on the sidelines feel incredible.
The first half of this red-blue war became a half-court offensive and defensive drill, and the Blues occupied the absolute initiative, but they could not knock on De Gea's ten fingers. And Manchester United can only rely on sporadic counterattacks to deal with Chelsea, C Ronaldo's upside-down golden hook shot is probably the only bright spot in the first half of Manchester United.
The Blues stepped up their offensive, but Werner once again missed the opportunity to open the door, so the Blues once again drove backwards. In the 60th minute, Reese James' pass was headed to the back post by Havertz, and the unguarded Alonso volley finally broke the deadlock.
However, United quickly equalised. In the 62nd minute, Nemanja Matic's pass was intercepted by Kante and he actively rushed to send a provocative pass, and C Ronaldo inserted it and scored a goal.
Regardless of whether Manchester United's problem is C Ronaldo or not, but now Manchester United's problem can only be solved by C Ronaldo, and this is manchester United's biggest problem.
After that, as Reese James's shot hit the goalpost, the Blues lost the opportunity to lead again, and this irrelevant, face-only red-blue battle once again ended in a 1-1 draw, with each side taking 1 point, better than nothing.
According to the statistics after the game, the two sides shot 21 to 6, shots to 6 to 3, corner goals to 9 to 2, the Blues have an overall advantage, but they can not turn this huge advantage into a winning trend. As fans say, today's Blues midfield is top-notch, but only the end ability of the frontcourt is too poor, the introduction of Lukaku was originally to improve the ability to attack, but Lukaku in Tuchel's tactics are at a loss, this hundred million investment, is a water drift.
What about Manchester United? Luckily, there was a draw, and de Gea and Ronaldo seemed to be useless. The Red Devils, which took five years and spent nearly £800 million to build, are about to be torn down and rebuilt. This back-and-forth toss, who can stand it?
