In the early morning of February 19, Beijing time, Europe's five major football leagues had a fierce matchup for a night, including Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and other football giants. Bayern's defeat shocked the entire football world, and Bochum's comeback became the biggest focus of the night. In the end, Manchester United narrowly beat Luton Town 2-1, Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano drew 1-1, and Bayern were beaten back by Bochum 2-3 in a crazy night.
English Premier League: Manchester United vs. Luton Town matchup.
The Reds beat Luton Town by just one goal at home in the early part of the season, with the Reds last losing on the road in 1987.
The Reds took a 2-0 lead away from home in the first seven minutes: in the opening 37 seconds, Hojlen scored on a mistake and then Garnacho's shot from distance hit Hojlen for him to find the back of the net, and Hojlen scored twice comfortably.
In the 14th minute of the game, Chen Dayi tried to turn and shoot in the penalty area, but was successfully blocked. Carlton Morris then headed in to make it 1-2 for Luton.
In the second half of the game, United created a number of good chances for Fernandes and Garnacho to score, but both solo chances were missed, and at the crucial moment, Luton Town were hit and almost levelled. With the win, United climbed to 44 points and while still in sixth place, they are just five points clear of the top four.
At just 21 years and 14 days old, Hojlen is the youngest player to score in six consecutive games in Premier League history, contributing a total of six goals and two assists. The third goal was a personal record for Hojlen, who made his mark on the Premier League stage at breakneck speed. Separately, the first goal marked the fastest time United had ever played away in an English Premier League, while the second was the first time the Reds had taken a 2-0 lead on the road.
La Liga: Real Madrid vs. Rayo Vallecano.
With a win in the opening game against Girona, Real Madrid's lead in the league increased to five points and secured a solid position in the title. The Real Madrid players stepped confidently on Rayo Vallecano's home turf, but the opposition showed stubborn resistance. In this away showdown with relegation rivals Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid suffered an unexpected mistake.
Less than a minute into the game, goalkeeper Lunin made a mistake at the back, but Rayo Vallecano didn't quite take advantage of the scoring opportunity. Then, in the second minute, Valverde passed the ball to assist Joselu to successfully outflank and create a wonderful 1-0 start for Real Madrid. In the 25th minute, Trejo's volley hit Camavin's arm, causing the referee to re-award a penalty. Immediately afterwards, De Tomas took the penalty and assisted Rayo Vallecano to tie the score at 1-1.
In the 79th minute of the second half of the game, Kroos's free-kick went straight into the goal, and the opposing goalkeeper quickly flew to save the ball. In the 94th minute of the game, Carvajal was sent off for a performance of two yellows and one red, which led to a 1-1 draw between the two teams.
At the moment, there is a huge number of injuries in the back line, and after Real Madrid lost a player, the defense of the back line has become very tight. In the history of Spanish football, Real Madrid has never lacked stars and teams to win championships. In the most recent standings, Real Madrid continued to lead the table with 62 points, but in a number of games they are six points ahead of second-placed Girona. In addition, Real Madrid are unbeaten in 19 consecutive league games, with 14 wins and five draws, which also breaks Carlo Ancelotti's longest unbeaten league run in charge of Real Madrid.
German Football Bundesliga: Bayern vs. Bochum.
In their last two matches, Bayern have lost back-to-back games to Bayer Leverkusen and Lazio, with only one shot on target. According to pre-match reports in Germany, head coach Thomas Tuchel could be sacked early if Bayern continue to lose.
In this away clash with relegation rivals Bochum, Bayern opened the scoring in the 14th minute when Musiala fired from a tight angle into the top corner.
However, Musiala lost possession twice in the following game due to breaks. In the 38th minute of the game, Musiala was hit by a broken ball, and Takuma Asano scored with a low-mid shot on the counter-attack. In the 43rd minute of the game, Steger played a corner kick and Schlotterbeck quickly scored with a header, which allowed Bochum to score two goals in a row in just five minutes to achieve the lead.
In the 77th minute of the second half, Jupmecano was ruled as a red doter**, and then Steig scored a penalty to give Bochum a 3-1 advantage. In the game, he ended the last home game of his career with a very beautiful goal. Bayern played one less player in the game, but in the 86th minute they relied on Kane's goal to make it 2-3, but unfortunately they still lost the game and lost three in a row on both fronts.
After a comeback, Bayern still have just 50 points, narrowing the gap to eight points compared to leading Bayer Leverkusen, which shows that the title race is not optimistic.
