Task for Manchester United would be easier if they did not waste two goals at their home stadium in very late minutes. Now with a draw at home and a threat from Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium and Sevilla, Manchester United are actually facing with risk to be knocked out by Sevilla.
I don't underestimate Sevilla at their home stadium and especially in Europa League where they have best DNA to win it.
Manchester United created problems for themselves at the end of the match, when they scored two own goals for themselves. Sevilla is a home team, it has always been at home they play very well and yes it is a special tournament for them, so Manchester United will have to try hard to win today. Now I would say that the teams have an equal chance of reaching the semi-finals, despite the fact that bookmakers consider Manchester United to be the favorites in this match.
Yes, Real Madrid will be the real test for Pep Guardiola but I'm sure Manchester City will be able to beat Madrid. Manchester City's success this season has been extraordinary, they are strong candidates to win the trophy this season.
The Semi-final match this time is the umpteenth time meeting for the two elite teams and of course it will be fierce for up to two meetings later.
Pep Guardiola is certainly very ambitious to present the Champions League trophy to Manchester City. If you look at the squad that has been built this season, City really deserves that.
Manchester City is currently still in the three competitions it participates in. Yes, of course it will really disturb Pep's concentration in managing his players. But I think Pep should prioritize the Champions League more and instead have to focus and go for the treble.
