In the first half of this season, in fact, leicester city's performance was excellent. They even beat Manchester City for a time and ranked second in the league. They are the first dark horse in the Premier League this season. They are also considered to be very promising teams to enter the Champions League next season.
However, after the rematch, the team suddenly lost its state. After the rematch, they completely collapsed and only scored 9 points in the last 9 rounds. In the last round, they watched Manchester United advance to the Champions League. Coupled with the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the last round, they have sent their opponents to Europe for two consecutive rounds. The dark horse of the Premier League has fallen from the altar and is still in the doldrums.
Manchester United have been in good shape recently. Before this game, Manchester United had been unbeaten in 13 rounds. Their quite mature attack group has been very popular in recent days, rushing all the way into the Champions League from the middle of the league. Compared with Manchester United, leicester city had great hopes to enter the Champions League before this match, but their status after the rematch was very worrying. After the last round of the league, they were officially kicked out of the top four.
In addition, there are as many as six main players in leicester city's current round of competition who can't play. In fact, not many people are optimistic that leicester city can win before the game. So it's not surprising that leicester city collapsed this round.
The specific process of the game is not much different from most people's predictions. Manchester United has always held the initiative on the field, but leicester city, who lacks many main players, has no intention of surrendering. They played quite tenaciously in the first half, and even posed a great threat at one time.
In the face of such an opponent, even Manchester United, which has a strong attack, did not get a good chance to score in the first half. After the second half, leicester city still refused to give up. In the 60th minute, Valdi's header hit the crossbar, which was the most threatening attack of leicester city in this game. Manchester United broke the deadlock in the 7th1minute, and B took a penalty to rewrite the score to 1-0.
In the 5th minute of injury time, Leicester made a mistake at the city gate. After Lingard stole, he threw Schumacher's ball into an empty net. This was his first league goal of the season, which completely ended the suspense of the game.
Leicester city has been in the middle of the league since winning the Premier League title in 15- 16 season. There has been a breakthrough this season, but the collapse of the team in the final stage also shattered the team's Champions League dream. The league competition will be more intense next season, and maybe it will be more difficult for leicester city next season.
