**Manchester United vs. Real Madrid: Fellaini Scores Winning Header in Last Minute**
In a thrilling finale to the UEFA Champions League match between Manchester United and Real Madrid, Paul Pogba's spectacular strike in extra time secured a dramatic 2-1 victory for the Red Devils on Saturday night.
The match had been evenly contested throughout, with both teams showing their best form in the final moments. Manchester United dominated possession and controlled the majority of play, but it was not until the 99th minute that they finally broke through. On the right wing, Jesse Lingard played a pinpoint cross into the penalty area, which fell kindly for Paul Pogba at the back post. The Frenchman took advantage of his strong finishing ability, diving low to head the ball past Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and secure the win for United.
The goal came just minutes after a controversial incident involving Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos. As the two teams were locked in a scrum near the halfway line, Ramos appeared to use his elbow to block a shot from Marcus Rashford. However, the referee ruled that there was no foul committed, despite the intense pressure from the Manchester United players. This decision sparked controversy, with some fans protesting outside the stadium.
Despite the incident, Real Madrid continued to press for a comeback in the second half, with Cristiano Ronaldo attempting several shots on target. But United's defense held firm, and the game went into extra time.
In the extra time, Manchester United showed their resilience once again. They pressed high up the pitch and forced Real Madrid into a series of mistakes. It was during this period that Pogba found himself in prime position to score the winning goal. He played a perfect through ball to Lingard, who then delivered a beautifully weighted cross into the penalty area. Lingard was able to control the ball before shooting, but his effort was blocked by Courtois. However, Pogba stepped forward and headed the ball home, securing the victory for Manchester United.
Fellaini's header was a testament to his experience and skill as a striker. The Belgian has been a key player for Manchester United since joining the club in 2015, and he continued to impress in this crucial moment. His performance helped ensure that Manchester United maintained their top spot in the league table and continue to be one of the most successful clubs in European football.
This match will go down as one of the most memorable in recent history, showcasing the skills and determination of both teams. With United's win, they have now reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they will face either Bayern Munich or Liverpool. Real Madrid will need to come out stronger in their next match against Atletico Madrid if they want to retain their title.
As the players left the field, Manchester United celebrated their victory with a rousing anthem and a hug from manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They knew that this was a huge step towards reaching the final of the Champions League and could potentially change the course of their season.
For Real Madrid, the loss is a setback, but they will not give up easily. They will look to bounce back in their next match and hope to regain their momentum before facing Chelsea in the quarter-finals. In the meantime, Manchester United will be confident of continuing their unbeaten run in the Champions League and aiming for even greater success in the future.
