I didn't see anything special about Manchester United's game, they were just luckier because the Liverpool coach was too hasty in making substitutions. Basically, Liverpool had enough control of the match and they were even able to maintain their lead until the end of the second half before the equalizing goal occurred. So Klopp's mistake in rotating players gave United players more freedom and more confidence because they were able to force their opponents into extra time. So in my opinion it would be an exaggeration if that was the best game from the Red Devils.

In the world of football there is no such thing as luck, in my opinion this is the result of the Manchester United team's hard work with excellent passes which were then put to good use by the Manchester United players resulting in the winning goal for Manchester United. It's true that Liverpool played very well, but they played too hastily so they couldn't take advantage of all the opportunities they got when they were in the Manchester United goal. In my opinion, this is not the Liverpool coach's fault, in fact Kloop gave his squad a strategy that looks very good. It's just that Liverpool's defense is too focused on the front so they don't pay enough attention to their players from Manchester United.

Yes, it was Man Utd's hard work when facing a strong team at the moment, but I think Liverpool didn't put all their energy into this match because Liverpool was more focused on the EPL and UEL competitions, so even though they lost in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, it doesn't change the possibility that Liverpool still strong and this defeat against Man Utd can be a lesson for Liverpool not to underestimate teams that are not very consistent because sometimes teams like that can give surprises, Man Utd finally qualified for the semifinals and I think Man Utd can reach the final and fight Man City to win the trophy.

It's true that this match surprised and shocked me. During the tense 30 minutes of extra time, MU showed even more bravery to win a ticket to the semi-finals. The game between MU and Liverpool had interesting developments right from the first minutes. The most notable change in MU's starting list against Liverpool is that key striker Ramus Hojlund has returned after a few weeks of recovery. Surprisingly, with a home advantage, MU was the proactive team and had sharper counterattacks. I don't think they are lucky, but they are doing well. Coach Erik ten Hag and his team have experienced perhaps the best match since the beginning of the 2023/24 season until now. This tournament can help them avoid being left empty-handed this season even though Chelsea and especially Man City are still extremely strong. Coach Erik ten Hag and the whole team need to try harder.

Part: Eliminated from the FA Cup, Liverpool cannot win the quadruple this season. Now, they have 2 arenas to aim for the title, thereby being able to have a beautiful farewell to coach Jurgen Klopp. Those are the Premier League and Europa League. In particular, Liverpool is the number-one candidate for the Europa League championship.
