From the man behind the football king to the football king.

In the following 2001-2002 season, Bayern Munich and Manchester United met again in the Champions League. They seemed to be an old rival, but in the two rounds of the group stage, they once again showed their evenly matched strength and both games ended in a draw.

Bayern Munich and Manchester United have met four times in the Champions League group stage, all ending in a draw.

It was not until the 2009-2010 season, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, that the old friends and old rivals finally met again on the Champions League stage after eight years.

At this time, Bayern Munich's situation was even more embarrassing. In the eight years since they had separated from their old rival Manchester United, they had never made it to the Champions League semi-finals. Manchester United won the Champions League trophy for the third time in the 2007-2008 season, and also reached the Champions League final in the following 2008-2009 season, setting a record of unbeaten games in the Champions League, and was one of the hottest teams in the European arena at the time.

The match between the two sides has left fans with countless topics to talk about since the first round. Rooney scored a quick goal for the Red Devils with a free kick 64 seconds into the game, but the progress of the game seemed to have entered a similar plot to the Champions League final 11 years ago from this goal.

Manchester United missed opportunities again and again when they had the upper hand, but Bayern Munich took advantage of a free kick. Ribery's free kick hit Rooney, changed direction and flew into the goal, just like the final that year. In the melee in front of the goal, the ball inexplicably fell to Shelingham's feet.

A minute later, Manchester United was close to scoring again. Giggs took a corner kick and Vidic headed the ball but hit the crossbar. This was so similar to Jancker's amazing overhead kick that only hit the crossbar.

The ending of this game was even very similar to that year, with Bayern Munich completing the decisive victory in the 92nd minute of the game. Orić successfully intercepted the ball, and after getting rid of Ferdinand, he used a low shot to help Bayern Munich overtake the score.

Just seven minutes into the game, Manchester United had scored two goals, tying the aggregate score to 3:2, with Nani's heel goal being particularly spectacular.

Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga is clearly superior to Manchester United's dominance in the Premier League.

Because Alphonso Davies and Pavard are very athletic and can press forward quickly, Kimmich's strong positioning ensures that even with only three defenders, Bayern Munich rarely have defensive gaps if the wing pressure fails.

Bayern Munich also has Thomas Muller, who can still wreak havoc in his own way behind Lewandowski.

Muller's dribbling ability is average, but he has a very good sense of position and performs well in the game, scoring 6 goals in the league.

Bayern Munich would also press effectively down the flanks, either by having the full-backs push up the flanks, leaving a back three, while the wingers and a central midfielder cut inside to cut off passing options.

3:0, the total score between the two sides has become 4:2.

In the 74th minute, the Ribery combination cooperated perfectly. Ribery took a corner kick and Robben, who had just returned from injury, volleyed the ball, tying the total score to 4:4. Bayern Munich advanced to the semi-finals with the advantage of more away goals.

This is because Muller is constantly looking for space between the lines, receiving the ball from Alaba, Thiago or the touchline, and then immediately passing the ball to another player in a shooting position.

Sure enough, after returning to their home ground, the Red Devils launched a massive attack on Bayern Munich's territory as soon as the game started.

And Bayern Munich will be the last obstacle for them to achieve this great goal!

Facing such a strong opponent, Manchester United naturally did not dare to neglect it. On the second day after the semi-final, they started a closed training camp to train against Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich scored three goals in the next 17 minutes. The invincible Southern King in the Bundesliga was unwilling to leave any chance to its old rival.

It is worth mentioning that Davis and Pavard play a huge role in the wing attack.

The situation was very good for the Red Devils at this time, but Bayern Munich did not put themselves in a desperate situation.

For both teams, they were both in a period of transition at the time, but Guardiola's joining Bayern Munich gave people hope, while the Red Devils, who had just entered the post-Ferguson era, were full of hidden worries.

The coaching staff also prepared a lot of materials and gave each player a detailed introduction to Bayern Munich's situation, especially focusing on analyzing Bayern Munich's previous rounds of the league and the Champions League.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich, old rivals and old friends, have not met in the European arena for six seasons. However, their confrontation is the strongest duel in European football.

After two years of ups and downs in the Van Gaal era, Manchester United finally ushered in a key transformation in the summer of 2016.

However, Manchester United did not use the home advantage to beat Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, and a 1:1 draw left both sides unsatisfied.

The second round of the game moved to the Allianz Arena. Manchester United failed to seize the opportunity when Schweinsteiger and Martinez were suspended due to red and yellow cards. Evra once let Manchester United fans see the character of the Red Devils. After scoring a goal, he kissed the team dust on his chest, trying to leave hope for the Red Devils to continue to compete in the Champions League, but this vision gradually died out after just two minutes.

This allows the crazy Davis to use his speed, dribbling, and passing vision to pass the ball or find an offensive shooting opportunity.

He can also pass the ball freely to Davies on the left, or even pass it long to the wide players. This makes Bayern Munich's defensive organization very effective, and Thiago in the midfield makes up for their lack of creative organizers.

Davis is already recognized as one of the best left-backs in the world, playing the role of a supporting winger in offense, and his speed and ability to track back also enable him to complete his defensive tasks well.

Alaba, Davies's left defensive partner, is also crucial in the central defender position. When Kimmich drops back, Alaba can dribble forward freely on the left and make precise passes to break the opponent's defense.

Muller's value is reflected in the fact that he has the highest expected goals value among Bayern Munich players. He is also the player who creates the most shooting chances.

Manchester United fans had no choice but to accept this fact.

………………

The Red Devils under Moyes seem to have lost their magic. Their slump in the league has made them lose the qualification to participate in the Champions League next season. This season's Champions League is Moyes' last bastion.

………………

自从在2013年自克洛普的多特蒙德手中夺回德甲冠军以来，南大王已经取得德甲八连冠！并且，除了2018-2019赛季，拜仁慕尼黑都最少领先德甲亚军10分，其中2012-2013赛季、2013-2014赛季、2017-2018赛季的领先优势都超过20分！要知道，德甲只有18支球队，赛程只有34轮而已！

Manchester United has not only achieved unprecedented success in the Champions League, but has also been very strong in the Premier League, successfully winning four consecutive Premier League titles.

………………

What Manchester United needs at this moment is confidence and reconstruction. This is the first time that they are no longer full of confidence when standing in front of their old rivals.

In the 2013-2014 season, Bayern Munich and Manchester United met in the Champions League quarter-finals for the third time.

………………

As Manchester United changed its owner at the end of 2015, the Red Devils welcomed two key signings in 2016. One was the Red Devils ushering in the famous coach Mourinho, and the other was signing the Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes at a record-breaking price of million euros.

Bayern Munich defeated Manchester United with a last-minute goal, which made the fans of Bayern Munich extremely excited. However, the players of Bayern Munich could not celebrate at this time because the second round of the game between the two sides, which will be moved to Old Trafford, is destined to be more intense.

………………

Bayern Munich mainly uses a 4231 formation, but will switch to a 4141 when defending. Kimmich will be in front of the back line, while another midfielder, usually Thiago, will form a defensive belt with him in the midfield. Lewandowski will press the opposing central defenders, while the wingers can push forward when the ball is played to the wing.

These two signings are considered to be the key signings that changed Manchester United's history! Under Mourinho's coaching, Manchester United, led by Bruno, dominated Europe in the following four years, first winning the Europa League in 2017, making Manchester United the fifth team to win all three major European cups.

In the 41st minute of the game, Nani scored his second goal. He pushed the ball into the goal to score the third goal of the game for Manchester United.

Then, Manchester United won the Champions League trophy for two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019, becoming the second cosmic team in football history. Now, they have reached the Champions League final for the third consecutive year, and their goal is naturally to become the first team to win three consecutive Champions League titles since the Champions League was reformed in 1992.

This game was also one of the key factors in Moyes' dismissal from Manchester United. Ten days later, as Manchester United lost 0:2 to Everton away, the successor chosen by Ferguson finally left Manchester United in disgrace.

………………

In his first season as Bayern Munich coach, Van Gaal finally led the team to a breakthrough in the Champions League. Unfortunately, they lost to Inter Milan, which was at its peak, in the final and eventually finished second.

Flick likes to use a deceptive tactic on the flank, luring the opponent to the right and then quickly moving the ball to the other side.

Before the end of the first half, it was Origi who scored the winning goal in the previous game who broke away from Carrick's defense and shot from a small angle, helping Bayern Munich to score a goal.

Flick's Bayern Munich did a better job in pressing and achieved good results. Although Kovac's Bayern Munich was well organized, Flick's pressing and counter-pressing were very effective.

Muller performed quite well on the right and in the penalty area. Although Bayern Munich likes to attack the flanks, their ability to control the ball in narrow spaces in the middle has also improved.

When Lewandowski retreated, Gnabry and Coman cut in from the inside, especially on the left, and the midfielders would push forward, creating a numerical advantage in the middle.

Flick has maximized Bayern Munich's advantages, improved the wing attack to make it more dynamic, and improved the position distribution in the middle to make Bayern Munich's pressing tactics more effective.

There is no doubt that this Bayern Munich team is very good at passing and controlling the ball, and is also very good at counterattacks. So this game is full of suspense.
