On April 29, a day that should have belonged to Manchester United's home ground, countless fans dressed in red and white jerseys gathered outside Old Trafford.

These people are Arsenal fans from all over the world. Some of them arrived in Manchester days in advance, just to witness their favorite team's match against Manchester United in this football mecca.

Tickets for this match sold out early, leaving many Arsenal fans unable to purchase tickets.

However, they did not give up their support for the team. Instead, they spontaneously gathered outside Old Trafford to cheer for the team in their own way.

As time went on, more and more Arsenal fans flocked to the streets and squares near the stadium.

Holding banners, flags, and signs, they chanted slogans to express their love and expectations for the team.

The entire city seemed to have transformed into a sea of ​​red and white, filled with a vibrant atmosphere.

At this special moment, Arsenal fans have shown unparalleled unity and enthusiasm.

They transcend geographical and cultural differences to gather here and cheer for the team.

Regardless of whether they have a ticket to the game or not, they firmly believe that the team can win this crucial battle.

As the match time drew near, Arsenal's team bus slowly approached from a distance, and fans welcomed their team with the most enthusiastic gestures.

"Beat them! We're one step closer to the championship!"

"We will support you from the outside!"

"Keep it up! You guys are the best!"

......

Sitting on the bus, the players saw fans who had come from afar to support them on the streets, and saw the banners they held up. The players wanted to wave to the fans from the bus, but they refrained at the head coach's request. Wenger even asked them not to linger after getting off the bus and not to give any personal interviews to avoid causing trouble.

Wenger knew very well that he needed to be extra careful at such a crucial moment.

Although the players felt that the head coach's actions were somewhat inhumane and showed no regard for the fans' feelings, they had no choice but to comply due to the head coach's tyranny.

At the same time, they all understood that this was just a way for the head coach to protect himself.

After all, it's an away game, and in such a crucial match, it's really hard to say what might happen.

As the car slowly came to a stop, the assistant coaches got out first to check the situation, followed by head coach Wenger, and then the players followed one by one.

Almost everyone maintained a tacit understanding, and after getting off the bus, they simply waved to the fans from a distance without making any move to sign autographs or take photos.

Lei Ming was sitting in the last row of the car, so he was the last one to get out. When he got out of the car, the fans at the scene erupted in cheers like never before.

"thunder!"

"thunder!"

"thunder!"

This scene made many teammates envious. It was hard to imagine that a player who had only joined the team for less than a year could achieve such success. In the hearts of the fans, he was even more important than many of them.

However, aside from admiration, there was no jealousy among them. After all, they all knew that their captain deserved such support from the fans.

Even with such treatment, Lei Ming couldn't disobey the head coach's wishes, and could only smile and wave to the fans.

"Wow, Lei is so handsome! His smile is so charming!"

"Being his girlfriend must be so wonderful!"

"I'm so incredibly handsome, ahhhhhh!"

The majority of the fans welcoming Lei Ming were women, and their screams grew louder as Lei Ming waved.

Seeing this, Lei Ming was so frightened that he quickly caught up with the group, fearing that some impulsive female fans might rush in and ask for a kiss.

Just five minutes after the Arsenal team entered, the Manchester City team bus slowly arrived at the gate. Although there were Manchester City fans there to greet them, it was not nearly as extravagant as before.

Mourinho walked onto the pitch first with a worried look on his face, appearing preoccupied.

With the season coming to an end, their performance this season seems to be quite good, ranking third in the league, but they have failed to win any titles. After being eliminated from the Champions League not long ago, they have also failed to gain anything in other competitions.

It was precisely under these circumstances that the club's management expressed their dissatisfaction with him.

He originally thought that coming to Manchester City would allow him to continue the glory of the Ferguson era and build up this once great team step by step with his own abilities, but he was wrong.

The complicated club relationships made it impossible for him to concentrate on the game. He often had to act as a babysitter for some players. Not only that, the team's signings were also problematic, as they were not the players he wanted to bring in.

Meeting Arsenal again with mixed feelings, he already had a premonition that they would be unable to stop the other side's progress.

He didn't make too many demands on the players for this match. After all, the game had come to this point, and even if they played their best, they couldn't win the league championship.

In his opinion, if the championship had to be chosen between Arsenal and Manchester City, he would prefer Arsenal.

After all, he didn't like seeing Guardiola's smile as he won the championship by stepping on his head.

Amidst much anticipation, the match between Manchester United and Arsenal finally kicked off.

At the start of the match, neither side engaged in any probing or testing; it was a direct back-and-forth offensive battle.

There's really no need for further probing. The two teams have already faced each other several times this season, with Manchester United losing almost every time. So Arsenal is quite confident in their chances against Manchester United. It's worth mentioning that Mkhitaryan recently recovered from his injury, and his return has given Arsenal a significant boost.

Manchester United's thinking was similar. After so many matches, the two sides knew each other inside and out. At worst, they would just lose; they were used to it.

But if possible, they still want to prove themselves, especially at Old Trafford.

However, the result was similar to what many fans watching at the scene had expected: Manchester United's attack found it difficult to advance further once it reached Arsenal's defense.

Even with Lukaku, Pogba, and Lingard as their three main attacking threats, their offense becomes ineffective if the ball isn't passed to them.

After a season of refinement, Arsenal's defense has undergone a complete transformation. This transformation even makes Lukaku feel uncomfortable. Despite his tall stature, when he can't receive the ball, he's practically invisible!
