To be honest—
At such a critical moment, if Manchester United wants to win, they can only place all their hopes on the individual brilliance of their center-forward.
All this time—
Mourinho has remained confident in Sánchez's abilities.
In Mourinho's view, Sánchez is fully capable of putting pressure on Chelsea's goal.
So, he had no choice but to give him the opportunity!!
In the penalty area—
Sánchez received a pass from his teammate.
Without hesitation, he immediately made his move.
He chose to go solo.
Because Sánchez knew very well—
There wasn't much time left.
He had to create as much pressure on the opponent's goal as possible before the final whistle.
Undeniably—
When Sánchez sprinted forward, few Chelsea defenders could keep up with him.
And just like that—
With precise footwork and explosive speed, he effortlessly weaved through the defense!!
The next second—
Sánchez showcased his talent once again!!
Faced with Chelsea's two center-backs, Christensen and Rüdiger, Sánchez first feinted a shot before accelerating decisively!!
It was clear—
At this critical moment, Sánchez was giving it everything he had!
And his efforts paid off.
Relying on his unstoppable explosiveness, Sánchez broke free from the interference of Chelsea's two defenders.
The next moment!!
Sánchez found himself inside Chelsea's penalty area.
Without hesitation—
He struck immediately!!
What a powerful shot!!
The crowd at Old Trafford erupted!!
Tens of thousands of fans roared in excitement, hoping their team could reclaim the lead.
But the result was brutal.
Courtois' reflexes were simply too fast!!
On the goal line—
Courtois soared into the air, showcasing his exceptional reach and leaping ability!!
With an incredible save—
He parried the ball away mid-air.
Everyone watching was in shock!!
Sánchez stood there, frozen.
He never expected Courtois to pull off such a miraculous save.
Unbelievable!!
In the stands—
Disappointment was written all over the fans' faces.
They had believed in a miracle—
But in the end, they still couldn't score.
On the sidelines—
Mourinho's face was filled with frustration.
This was not the outcome he wanted at all!!
And so—
Mourinho made a tactical substitution.
Martial was replaced by Rashford.
A smart decision.
After all—
In tonight's game, Martial's performance had been far from his best.
For most of the match, he failed to showcase his usual dribbling brilliance.
Even in the team's tactical setup—
Substituting Martial was absolutely the right call!!
And with that—
The game continued.
Time was running out for both teams.
Whether it was Chelsea or Manchester United, both sides were desperate to clinch victory before the final whistle.
But let's be honest—
That was no easy task.
75th minute of the game—
After receiving a pass from his teammate on the wing—
Rashford wasted no time.
Instead of hesitating, he took on the defender head-on—
And exploded forward at full speed!!
