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.

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.

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.

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.
