In the 35th minute of the game, Bruno Fernandez passed the ball to Edinson Cavani. After receiving the ball in the penalty area, Edinson Cavani tried to break through the Bayern Munich defender. However, David Alaba blocked Edinson Cavani's breakthrough with the help of Mats Hummels.
However, the ball rolled to Rodrigo Hernandez's feet. Rodrigo Hernandez took a deep breath, then exerted force and kicked the football with his right foot. Under his powerful volley, the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, carrying Rodrigo Hernandez's strength and expectations.
However, fate is sometimes so cruel. The ball shot by Rodrigo Hernandez flew towards the goal at a very fast speed, but it deviated slightly from the direction of the goal. It rubbed the outside of the goal post, missed the goal, and flew to the sidelines. When he saw the ball go out of the goal, Rodrigo Hernandez's expression froze. He stood there blankly, staring at the ball that had already flown out of the field. He kept slapping his head with his hands, as if blaming himself for not kicking more accurately just now.
After Manchester United missed several goals, Bayern Munich gradually regained their form, and their offense became more threatening. In the 42nd minute, Robert Lewandowski suddenly started, using his ghostly running skills to shuttle across the court like a flash of lightning. Marco Verratti and Rodrigo Hernandez thought they had formed a tight defense against Robert Lewandowski, but they underestimated the ability of this top striker. Robert Lewandowski, like a loach, flexibly got rid of the entanglement of the two of them and instantly tore a hole in the defense line.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, Franck Ribery was like a sharp knife, breaking through the opponent's defense on the wing. He was skilled at his feet, and when facing the pressure of Manchester United player Ashraf Hakimi, he was not in a hurry. With superb ball control skills and a calm mind, he successfully controlled the ball under his feet. When he saw that Robert Lewandowski had broken away from the defense and entered the penalty area, he did not hesitate to send a precise pass.
The ball flew steadily to Robert Lewandowski's feet as if it had eyes. The moment Robert Lewandowski received the ball, his world seemed to stop. His body quickly adjusted his posture, pushed the ground with both feet, and adjusted the angle of the shot at a very fast speed in the penalty area. His muscles were tense, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on the kick he was about to kick. Then, he kicked the football hard, and the ball shot towards the goal like a cannonball with a whistling wind.
At this critical moment, Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea showed his world-class goalkeeper style. His eyes were fixed on the flying football, and his body was like a taut spring. When the ball flew over, his reaction speed was as fast as lightning. He pounced on the football and blocked the ball steadily with his powerful hands. The ball encountered huge resistance in his palm, changed the direction of flight, and finally flew out of the baseline.
This series of wonderful offense and defense made the audience on the scene exclaim. When seeing David De Gea's wonderful save, the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford cheered wildly, and their cheers almost overturned the roof of the entire stadium.
As the game progressed, the physical strength of both sides began to gradually decline. However, the intensity of the game did not decrease. Bayern Munich, which was behind in the score, was still attacking frantically, trying to equalize the score. Manchester United used counterattacks to threaten Bayern's goal on the basis of defense.
Time quietly came to the 44th minute. At this time, Ashraf Hakimi passed by the wing like a shining meteor. His eyes were firm, his legs were like powerful engines, and he began to break through at high speed with an indomitable momentum. David Alaba opened his arms and stood in front of Ashraf Hakimi like a barrier.
Ashraf Hakimi first made an emergency stop, and David Alaba hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity. At this moment, Ashraf Hakimi suddenly changed direction, like an unstoppable gust of wind, and successfully broke through David Alaba's defense with excellent speed and flexible change of direction skills.
After the breakthrough, Ashraf Hakimi did not hesitate at all. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring at the situation in the penalty area. He was like a horse that had broken free from its reins.He ran like a wild horse, down to the baseline, and then kicked a cross with a beautiful move. The cross flew into the penalty area in a beautiful arc in the air.
In the penalty area, Romelu Lukaku was like a towering mountain. With his strong body and keen sense of smell, he stood out among many players and successfully grabbed the header position. When the ball flew over his head, he suddenly exerted force and hit his head with all his strength. The ball shot towards the goal like a cannonball.
However, Manuel Neuer, standing in front of the Bayern Munich goal, was no ordinary person. He was fully focused, like an insurmountable Great Wall of Steel. The moment he saw Romelu Lukaku heading the ball, his body suddenly contracted like a spring to accumulate power, and then his legs pushed the ground hard and jumped high. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring closely at the fast-moving ball. His hands were as hard as steel and stretched to the extreme. At the moment when the ball was about to fly into the goal, he pounced on the ball accurately like a raptor and successfully saved the ball. The ball bounced on Manuel Neuer's palm and then rolled out of the penalty area. This wonderful attack and defense moment amazed the audience.
The first half of the game entered the injury time. Although the physical strength of the players on both sides was consumed, their desire to win was not reduced at all. At this tense moment, Bayern Munich still showed a tenacious fighting spirit in the offense and tried to create opportunities that might change the situation.
Frank Ribery was like a black lightning, shuttling quickly on the court. His footwork was extremely skillful, as if the ball was stuck to his feet. Facing the pressure from Manchester United player Rodrigo Hernandez, Frank Ribery was not afraid. With his flexible pace and agile turn, he successfully tore a hole in the crowd and completed a beautiful breakthrough.
After the breakthrough, Frank Ribery did not hesitate at all. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he quickly locked Thomas Muller in the penalty area. His pass was accurate and powerful, like a guided missile, flying steadily towards Thomas Muller.
Thomas Muller was like a cheetah lurking in the penalty area, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time. When he received the ball from Frank Ribery, his body reacted quickly and adjusted his shooting posture. His muscles were tense, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on his right foot, and then he exerted force and kicked the football hard.
The ball shot towards the goal like a cannonball. At this critical moment, Manchester United captain Harry Maguire did not retreat at all. There was only determination in his eyes, like an unshakable mountain. He flew out like an arrow from a bow, his body fully stretched out, like a solid shield, resolutely blocking the flight path of the ball.
At that moment, all eyes were focused on Harry Maguire. Every move he made seemed so bold, and every inch of his muscle was tense to protect the goal. The ball hit him hard, and the huge impact made his body shake violently, but he did not fall down, but stood firmly.
The Manchester United fans in the stands witnessed this thrilling scene. At the moment when Harry Maguire flew to block the gun hole, they first widened their eyes, their faces full of tension and worry. But when they saw Harry Maguire successfully blocked the ball, the fans' emotions broke out instantly. Cheers, shouts, and applause intertwined, like a thunder over the stadium.
This thunderous applause was the highest praise for Harry Maguire's heroic behavior. Harry Maguire patted the grass on his jersey, straightened the captain's armband on his arm, stood firmly at the front of the penalty area, and listened to the warm applause of the Red Devils fans in the stands, and his heart was full of pride.
The first half of the game entered the final stage. Bayern Munich made a desperate move and pressed all the offensive players into Manchester United's half. Their attack brought great pressure to Manchester United's defense. However, Manchester United's players did not panic. They tenaciously defended every attack.
In the fourth minute of injury time, Theo Fernandez successfully intercepted Arjen Robben's ball. He quickly launched a counterattack and passed the ball to Cody Gakpo.
Cody Gakpo was like a flash of lightning, suddenly starting on the wing. His feet were like powerful motors, with an indomitable momentum, breaking through at high speed like lightning. Bayern Munich's Javi Martinez chased him down, with Joshua Kimmich and Thiago Alcantara do Nascimento also coming from behind.Two directions came to help defend, but Cody Gakpo's speed was too fast, and he dribbled past flexibly, leaving no chance for several people to stop him.
After breaking through to an excellent position, Cody Gakpo's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he instantly caught Romelu Lukaku, who was ready to move in the penalty area. He kicked the ball without hesitation and passed it with just the right strength and angle. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew accurately to Romelu Lukaku.
At this time, Romelu Lukaku was like a hungry beast, staring at the flying ball. When the ball reached his feet, his muscles instantly tightened, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on the kick he was about to kick. He kicked the ball suddenly, and the force seemed to tear the air apart.
However, perhaps because he was too anxious, the angle of this shot was not controlled well, and the ball flew straight to the center of the goal. At the moment the ball flew over, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's body reacted as quickly as a cheetah, his legs slightly bent, then he kicked the ground and jumped high. He held the ball firmly with both hands, as if holding a precious treasure; his movements were clean and neat, leaving no chance for the opponent to make up for the shot.
Just after Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer kicked the ball again, the Spanish referee Antonio Mateu Laos took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks, and blew the whistle that symbolized the end of the first half. The whistle seemed to have magic, echoing over the entire stadium.
Manchester United entered the halftime break with a 1:0 lead.
