Juventus took the lead and threatened Manchester United's goal first. Manchester United was not willing to be outdone and quickly responded with offense.

In the 13th minute, Manchester United launched an attack from the backcourt, and the ball was passed all the way to the frontcourt. De Bruyne sent a straight pass, breaking through Juventus' midfield defense and transferring the ball to the right.

Vardy received a pass from De Bruyne near the corner of the penalty area, broke into the right rib of the small penalty area and passed back. After stopping the ball, Lu Xiaopang, who was in the empty goal, stopped the ball and missed the opportunity to score.

Faced with such a situation, Rooney seemed very depressed. But he quickly gave Valdy a thumbs up and thanked him for the wonderful pass he gave him.

Ye Su was also a little disappointed that Rooney missed such a scoring opportunity. He knew that in a game, there would not be many scoring opportunities in one game. If one wasted, the team would be one point away from winning the game.

However, Ye Su, who was sitting on the coach's seat, did not show any dissatisfaction. He knew very well that the TV broadcasting camera must be aimed at him at this time. If he had any performance, it might be over-interpreted and even caused many unnecessary troubles.

Although his previous life experience did not bring great wealth to Ye Su, he still brought some invisible wealth to Ye Su, such as being able to remain calm in the face of various situations.

When the game reached the 21st minute, chaos occurred on the court. At that time, Pogba passed the ball in the penalty area, and the ball hit Carrick's arm during the flight. Although Carrick had tried his best to avoid it, he could not completely avoid it.

The referee saw this scene, so he did not award a penalty, which aroused dissatisfaction among the home team players and home fans, and the scene was in chaos. More than 37,000 home team fans were booed all over the sky.

In the whole first half, both sides played a bit conservatively. After all, when facing a strong enemy, no one dared to be arrogant. Once they were beaten by their opponents for a rash attack, they could become the backward side or even lose the game.

On the premise of conservatism, both sides created few threats and attacks, and even had few shots.

However, at the end of the first half, Manchester United scored a goal, breaking the deadlock on the court.

In the 43rd minute, Manchester United made an efficient attack. After continuous and smooth short passes, Carrick suddenly launched a long pass from the backcourt and found Martial on the left.

The French young player dribbled the ball and rushed forward all the way on the left, tearing Juventus' defense, and then sent a high-quality cross. Barzali cleared the ball not far under the pressure of Rooney, and Valdi scored with his right foot.

The score on the field became 0:1, and the home team Juventus was in front!

This was the first Champions League knockout match that Vardy played in his career, and he scored a goal, and it was a goal that broke the deadlock for the team.

After scoring the goal, Vardy seemed very excited and made a wing-sliding move at Juventus Arena to celebrate his goal.

The Manchester United players were also very happy, following Vardy, rushed to the corner where Manchester United fans were, and celebrating the goal wildly.

……………………

After Manchester United scored a goal, the game had already entered the end of the first half. After one minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the half.

During the halftime break, all parties were analyzing the first half. Because the atmosphere of the game was dull and the scene lacked highlights, the main thing was Manchester United's goals, which added some brightness to the game.

Of course, everyone also mentioned Carrick's handball in the penalty area, but they had their own opinions on whether the penalty should be awarded. The commentators or guests who supported Juventus were very sure that this was a penalty. They believed that Carrick's arm blocked the running of the ball. However, those who supported Manchester United and even neutral believed that it should not be a penalty, because Carrick obviously had an unintentional handball. He had obvious intentions and actions to dodge, but the ball was too sudden and he could not dodge.

But no matter what, the result of the referee not awarding a penalty has been confirmed, and it would be useless to talk about it now.

……………………

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and both sides returned to the court to play.

Because they were behind in the score and were playing at home, Juventus strengthened their offensive in the second half. After all, once they lost at home, they wanted to go to Old Trafford to achieve a reversal, it would be even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

If Juventus Arena is the home court of the Devil, then Old Trafford can be called the hell of the away team. Because since Ye Su took over Manchester United, the Red Devils have never lost at Old Trafford. Manchester United lost at Dream Theater, but in the Moyes era. On March 16, 2014, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0:3 at Old Trafford Stadium at Old Trafford.

After that, including Manchester United's last league home game in the Moyes era, Manchester United beat Villa 4-1, and two Champions League home games against Olympiacos and 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich. There were 51 home games in all competitions. The Red Devils never suffered another defeat, with a terrifying 46 wins and 5 draws.

As for Old Trafford under Ye Su's rule, the Red Devils' record is 48 games, 44 wins and 4 draws.

However, Juventus realized Manchester United's terrible home record and ignored it. Their combat effectiveness in the away game was also extremely amazing. As a result, shortly after the second half, Juventus lost the second goal of the game.

In the 55th minute, Manchester United made a quick counterattack.

Kanter completed a steal from Juventus' pass in the backcourt and passed the ball to Carrick in the horizontal direction. Carrick then quickly got the ball and found De Bruyne in the midfield.

The first time he lost the ball, Juventus players realized the danger and quickly returned to defense. But how could the speed of the man be comparable to the running of the ball?

De Bruyne received a pass from Carrick and took the ball without hesitation and distributed it to Rooney in the front right.

After Lu Xiaopang got the ball, he dribbled the ball and rushed away the Juventus defensive player Barzali, who was coming to tangle, and shot near the penalty area line.

Buffon showed the agility he should not have at his age and made a side-leap, but Rooney's shooting speed, angle and strength were both. Although he touched the ball in front of him and slightly changed the direction of the ball running, he still failed to avoid the ball flying into the goal.

Even, because of this small change of direction, the ball flew directly into the blind spot of the goal!

Rooney scored his first Champions League knockout goal this season, and his individual Champions League goals increased to 9 goals in the season, setting a new record.

Manchester United, however, took a two-goal lead away.
