This game is really beautiful to watch. Barcelona is very tenacious and they are trying hard to catch up. Manchester United is very unlucky and conceded two goals in just 30 minutes.
In fact, when a team like Manchester United, which is strong in offense and weak in defense, sometimes faces a super strong team or a team with a great desire to win, its defense can easily collapse.
Therefore, Manchester United often plays a big score against a strong team or a team with a strong desire to win. This is a common problem of teams that are strong in offense and weak in defense.
But a team with strong offense and weak defense has one biggest advantage, that is, it has a strong offense, and its offense is particularly gorgeous, beautiful, and exciting because they invest a lot of personnel and energy in offense.
In the 34th minute, after Manchester United accepted another round of impact from Barcelona, De Gea took a goal kick and passed the ball to Ferdinand. Ferdinand pushed the ball forward to Carrick, and Carrick passed it to Rooney.
At this moment, Zhang Kuang and Hernández suddenly changed positions. At the moment when they changed positions, Rooney from the right side of the midfield passed the ball through the ball, accurately reaching the feet of Zhang Kuang.
The Barcelona team was confused. How did Zhang Kuang come to the middle? How did Rooney transform into a midfielder? And all this was completed in an instant.
Guardiola was shocked and shouted quickly towards the court, but after holding the ball, Zhang Kuang first used his speed to beat Abidal. Then, facing Mascherano's defense, he made a shoulder-sinking fake move to get away from the angle, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Facing Valdés, he did not choose to pass him with Pendulum this time, but scored with a lob shot.
The ball went in!
Barcelona 2-2 Manchester United.
The total score became 3-6.
Now Camp Nou was completely quiet. The total score was 3:6. Barcelona had to score 4 goals to advance. Now it became extremely difficult.
Zhang Kuang ran towards the corner flag area, jumped up, turned around in the air, moved his hands down, and then roared.
Martin's voice was already hoarse. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! It's Zhang Kuang again! It has to be Zhang Kuang!
He suddenly changed positions with Hernández. After arriving in the middle, he received a through ball from Rooney. Rooney transformed into an attacking midfielder. This through ball was quite accurate.
After Zhang Kuang held the ball in the middle, he passed Abidal, passed Mascherano, and faced Valdés, he shot past Valdés!
2-2! Manchester United equalized the score! The total score is 3-6! Barcelona still needs four goals to advance. Now Barcelona's hope becomes slim!
Zhang Kuang scored two goals today. The first goal was his traditional one-stop pass from the left. The second goal showed his ability as an excellent center forward. Not only can he score from the left, but he can also turn into a center forward and directly attack the goal. It is so powerful."
Neville: "This is Zhang Kuang. Really, I have no words to praise him. I can only say that he is invincible."
"..."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang! He still performed well after switching to the center! He passed Abidal, passed Mascherano, and shot the ball over Valdés's head!
2-2! Manchester United equalized the score! The total score is 3-6! Barcelona still needs four goals, and these four goals are already like a chasm. It is difficult to cross it. After all, this is Manchester United. It does not mean that you can score four if you can score four goals!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Zhang Kuang used the goal to slap Camp Nou's fans in the face to humiliate him, well done."
Heynckes and Mourinho in the stands all applauded and shook their heads in unison. They were all sighing that it was incredible, and they were also worried about how to guard against such players?
1 minute of added time in the first half.
The ball bounced around at the feet of player Barcelona, and finally 1 minute of stoppage time was used up.
"Beep--!"
At halftime, the two sides were tied 2-2. The total score was Manchester United 6-3 leading.
Martin concluded in the studio. "It was 2-2 at halftime. This score is acceptable for Manchester United, but it is unacceptable for Barcelona. They have to be mentally prepared to be eliminated.
Zhang Kuang scored two goals today, both of which were consecutive passes and superb shooting skills. Barcelona's defense was completely helpless against him. The key to the second half was whether Barcelona could guard Zhang Kuang. If not, the game would be completely hopeless."
Neville: "Barcelona was dominant in the first half, but whoever competes with Barcelona will always have the advantage in Barcelona.
But to be honest, Barcelona seemed to control the situation in this game, but they really didn't have many effective attacks. The main reason was that Manchester United's trident counterattack was too sharp. If their defense line was too high, they wouldn't even have a chance to return to defense.
But if Barcelona's defense does not move forward closely, their passing control will interrupt the adjustment and connection of the backcourt, which will be even more dangerous.
For example, today Xavi was intercepted and restricted many times because there was no defensive line to protect him.
In addition, Barcelona is also somewhat passive in the face of frequent physical confrontations and high-altitude balls from Manchester United players. This is their shortcoming.
Of course, the most important thing is that Manchester United's quick counterattack Barcelona is really unstoppable. One Zhang Kuang is enough to break through their defenses repeatedly.
So in order to restrict Zhang Kuang today, they also tried some off-market moves, but unfortunately these off-board moves were useless against Zhang Kuang..."

MyScore live broadcast platform comment area:
"I have to say... Barcelona is really eager to attack when they return to the home court, but no matter how good they are, they can't cross the threshold of Zhang Kuang. If they can't cross it now, then Barcelona won't be able to cross it in the future, because I can't imagine how Barcelona can deal with Zhang Kuang without Messi and Xavi-Busquets-Iniesta?"
"Haha...Barcelona, these villains, now they have tasted the cruelty of Zhang Kuang, right? It makes you crazy."
"Barcelona does not have UEFA Champions League this season. It is estimated that it will be difficult to win the championship until Zhang Kuang retires."
"God doesn't love Barcelona, but loves an Oriental who doesn't believe in God. Is God asleep?"
"Asshole, you dare to question God? Do you want your life?"
"I don't believe God, why don't I dare to question it?"
"Ah, bastard!"
"..."
At the beginning of the second half, neither side made any substitutions.
From the moment the referee blew the whistle, everyone thought that Barcelona was grabbing the opening and Manchester United would counterattack, but...
In the 48th minute, Zhang Kuang once again created a threat. Zhang Kuang broke through Alves from the left and passed the ball. Rooney volleyed and shot high.
Martin: "How to deal with Zhang Kuang's breakthrough? How to deal with it? Defend the ground passing line, but not the high-altitude ball. This may be the biggest headache for Guardiola at the moment, and it is also the most confusing question for Barcelona."
Neville: "Haha, Zhang Kuang alone will probably destroy the confidence that Barcelona has built up over the years. You see, the confidence in the eyes of Alves, Piqué, and Mascherano is gone. Now there is only confusion and fear in their eyes..."
In the 52nd minute, as Neville said before, Barcelona's defense saw that Zhang Kuang was left with only confusion and fear, so they were once again unable to prevent Zhang Kuang from receiving a high-altitude pass from Evra.
Zhang Kuang's breakthrough from the left after receiving the ball made Alves almost collapse. Piqué made a fierce shovel. Zhang Kuang had already passed the ball, and Piqué shoveled a lonely one.
Piqué looked at Zhang Kuang's joking eyes, and he almost went crazy.
From Zhang Kuang's cross, Hernández got the ball with almost no defense, so he easily scored with a shovel shot from the edge of the small penalty area.
Barcelona 2-3 Manchester United.
The total score became 3-7.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Hernández! Zhang Kuang's cross was so accurate, Hernández scored with a shovel shot from the edge of the small penalty area! 2-3!
Manchester United takes the lead again! The total score is 3-7! Barcelona still needs four goals to equalize, but equalizing the score cannot advance, and it still needs to score 5 goals to advance!
Zhang Kuang scored two goals and one assist today. He participated in all three goals of Manchester United! He is already Barcelona's nemesis in the true sense. He can not only score goals, but also play with Barcelona's entire defense..."
Neville: "I heard that China has an old saying, which is called 'bitten tofu, one thing will bring down another thing', and Zhang Kuang is the one who really brought down Barcelona."
Martin:"Gary, what does this sentence mean?"
Neville: "Before China's tofu became tofu, it was originally just soy milk, and it was very violent. But with just a little bit of brine, the soy milk turned into tofu. It changed the soy milk and made the soy milk obediently become an object that the brine plays with."
Martin: "Wow, it turns out that this is how China tofu comes. I have eaten it. It is very smooth and tender. It turns out there is such a proverb. This metaphor is very vivid in Zhang Kuang's oppression of Barcelona. Gary, you are really there. China people are very wise."
"..."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Hernández! 2-3! Manchester United takes the lead again! The total score is 3-7! Zhang Kuang broke through from the left and passed in, Hernández scored with a shovel from the edge of the small penalty area! Zhang Kuang scored two goals and one assist today!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball is too simple. Zhang Kuang's breakthrough, Alves couldn't keep up with it, Piqué made a lonely shovel. Then his cross, Hernández's shovel shot, all in one go. Barcelona's defense was blown away today."
After Hernández scored, he knelt down for a long distance. He was so excited that Manchester United's players came forward to congratulate him. Manchester United's substitute players were also very happy.
Only Guardiola kept scratching his bald head. He knew that this year's Barcelona UEFA Champions League journey was over and he fell in the semi-finals.
We lost in the finals last year and in the semi-finals this year, both by the same team. It's really annoying.
The key is that now all Europe are learning Manchester United's quick response.
At the beginning, many teams were learning Barcelona's passing and controlling, thinking that passing and controlling was the future of football. However, after Barcelona was defeated by Manchester United in succession, many teams with low investment discovered that they did not need to invest high investment but to play passing and controlling. Quick reaction with low investment was also possible.
Guardiola thought for a moment and called Fàbregas!
In the 58th minute, Barcelona made a substitution. Fàbregas replaced Busquets.
Martin: "When Fàbregas comes on, Barcelona will strengthen the offense. When Busquets comes off, Barcelona's midfield defense will weaken, but its offensive creativity will increase. Fàbregas may rush to the front, and Barcelona will form a 424 offensive formation."
Neville: "Actually, this is just an attempt. If Fàbregas playing could really change the result, Guardiola would have started him long ago."
Martin: "Haha... that makes sense."
In the 63rd minute, Messi took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and De Gea dived sideways to confiscate the ball.
Martin: "Messi's long shot was confiscated by De Gea. Barcelona's time is running out."
Neville: "Messi is really not the kind of player who can change the situation on the court. He is not like Zhang Kuang who can carry the team forward alone. Messi needs more support from his teammates."
Martin: "Moreover, Messi's running became less active, and it felt like walking."
In the 67th minute, Zhang Kuang was replaced.
Ferguson replaced Zhang Kuang with Welbeck. All the fans stood up and applauded, including some Barcelona fans.
Zhang Kuang was still confused, so he was replaced at this time? What happened? Ferguson didn't tell him at halftime.
He can threaten Barcelona's goal and hold back Barcelona's defense. If he is replaced, wouldn't it mean that Barcelona's offensive attributes are completely released?
Zhang Kuang Although he was confused, he was not the kind of person who always questioned the head coach. After being stunned for a moment, he turned around and left the field, high-fiving his teammates one by one.
When Zhang Kuang walked to the sidelines, Guardiola looked at Zhang Kuang expressionlessly and said that it was wrong to say that he was expressionless. There was fire hidden in his eyes, including anger, jealousy, and greed.
Martin: "Zhang Kuang was replaced, and the audience stood up and applauded. He scored two goals today, assisted one, and participated in all three goals of Manchester United.
Gary, please analyze for everyone, why did Sir Alex replace Zhang Kuang? Even if he doesn't score on the court, he is still a great threat. Besides, Zhang Kuang was not injured or fouled, why did Sir Alex replace him?"
Neville: "This... I don't understand it either. Even Zhang Kuang probably doesn't understand it. His expression was very shocked just now. It seems that he didn't know it in advance. Let's see what Sir Alex said after the game."
He Wei: "Zhang Kuang was replaced, and all the fans stood up and applauded. But I didn't understand this substitution. Director Zhang, did you understand Ferguson's method?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, I don't know the specific reason, but I guess Ferguson wants to save time for the Manchester Derby and Football Association Cup finals? But that's a few days of competition, and there is time in between.
Maybe he just wants to let young people play for training. Otherwise, I can't analyze the reason."
When Zhang Kuang walked off the field, Ferguson didn't say anything. He just said to him, "Have a good rest first!"
Zhang Kuang nodded, took the towel, and high-fived his substitute teammates one by one. Zhang Kuang said nothing. He thought for a moment and there was no reason to replace him.
Could it be that the old man wanted to give him an 'obedience test'? To see how well he obeyed orders?
Zhang Kuang I don't think about it, I just don't think about it.
Anyway, this game should not collapse. If it does, then he will have to consider which team he will go to this summer.
After Zhang Kuang came off the field, Barcelona launched a flood of attacks, and Messi also became a lot more active. The reason is simple, because the midfielder and backfield have more support for him, and his opportunities have increased.
But after Messi's two consecutive shots were blocked, he became very angry, and Barcelona also became very anxious.
In the 75th minute, Barcelona made a substitution.
Sánchez replaces Pedro.
Yes, it's better to change the knife. Since the Pedro can't hurt anyone, let's change it and see if it can hurt the person.
In the 82nd minute, Barcelona made another substitution.
Cuenca replaces Villa.
Even Villa was replaced? This shows how anxious Guardiola is.
Didn't he think that it would be useless to replace these two people, because the real offensive power lies in the hands of Messi, if Messi fails to score, and Messi does not provide good assists, why do you blame other attackers?
In the 87th minute, Rooney took a long shot from outside the penalty area and Valdés lifted the ball over the crossbar.
In the 88th minute, Rooney's free kick went high.
4 minutes of added time.
In the 92nd minute, Messi took a free kick from the top of the penalty area, and De Gea punched out with both fists.
In the 94th minute, after a continuous siege by Barcelona, Messi finally hit a long-distance shot, but it was still lifted over the crossbar by De Gea.
"Beep, beep, beep--!"
The referee blew the whistle for the whole game.
Final score: Barcelona 2-3 Manchester United.
Total score: Manchester United 7-3 Barcelona.
Manchester United advances to the finals and competes with the winner of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid for this season's UEFA Champions League championship.
Full game information: Barcelona shot 21 times, 8 times on target, and scored 2 goals.

He Wei concluded after the game. "At the end of the game, Manchester United defeated Barcelona 3-2 in the away game, with a total score of 7-3 to advance to the UEFA Champions League finals.
Zhang Kuang scored twice, Hernández was the icing on the cake, Messi and Xavi scored for Barcelona. Manchester United eliminated Barcelona with an overwhelming advantage in the semi-finals of UEFA Champions League. They will compete in Munich on May 19th. Allianz Arena will face the winner of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. This game will start tomorrow night.
Zhang Kuang's performance in this game was decisive. He scored two goals, assisted one, and participated in all three goals of Manchester United."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, the highlight of tonight is the reason why Zhang Kuang was replaced in the 67th minute. It depends on what Ferguson said after the game. No one understood this substitution.
As for the content of the game, according to the data, Barcelona is overwhelming and Zhang Kuang is dominant. Unfortunately, Zhang Kuang is a Manchester United player. In the end, Zhang Kuang had the last laugh.
The current Manchester United is getting closer and closer to the triple crown of the season. Although Football Association Cup's championship opponent is Liverpool, in these years Liverpool can only barely maintain the appearance of Premier League competing for the championship, and has no real ability to compete for the championship.
In the UEFA Champions League arena, the most difficult hurdle of Barcelona has passed. Next, facing the winner of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, no matter who it is, I believe it will be easier than Barcelona.
Why do you say that? Mainly because Real Madrid and Bayern Munich do not have a team of top players like Barcelona. Messi is second only to Zhang Kuang in the world. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo can match it, and Bayern Munich does not have such a player.
Tactically, Barcelona's passing control can be said to defeat Europe's opponents. There are brackets here. The brackets are except Manchester United. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are not as good as Barcelona in tactics, and they may be even less able to guard against Manchester United.
Of course, all this is just my personal conjecture. We will know everything about what will happen on May 19th."
