At first it was a surprise to me that they were playing so badly, but then I realised that they probably can't do any better. After the match, after looking at the statistics it becomes clear that in general this score of 2-0 is absolutely justified, and Lazio with such a game has little chance to get back. I wasn't surprised that Manchester United missed the victory, we all know the deplorable state of MU, but I didn't expect this from Lazio
I think the same, MU always finds a way to disappoint everyone, what happened to Lazio also surprised me, I think this Europa League is very good, because I know that many bet that MU would win since MU plays very well in the Europa League, but this time Lyon presented them with a very difficult match, they managed to get ahead, but in the last minutes, in fact 10 seconds before the final whistle they tied the game, very bad for them, good for Lyon because it leaves them with more life.
All the results in the UEL really surprised me. 3 matches ended in a draw and Lazio suffered a shocking defeat from FK Bodø/Glimt. They are from the Norwegian League. Even the first and second place teams only qualified for the Champions League qualifying round, unlike teams from top European leagues who qualify directly for the UCL group stage. I am sure that almost no one bet on Bodø/Glimt winning that match. But I think a 2 goal lead does not put Bodø/Glimt one step away from the semi-finals. They will play the second leg in Italy. And I think Lazio will avenge this defeat. It is important for Bodø/Glimt to improve their defense in the second leg.
And seeing the improvement experienced by Antony, I hope that after the season ends Man United will bring Antony back to Old Trafford, changing his mind to sell Antony at the end of the season.
I think Antony's extraordinary performance in La Liga is because besides the Spanish League is usually suitable for typical Brazilian players, on the other hand Antony already has a very good chemistry with Isco. In the end if Antony returns to Manchester United maybe we will see the old Antony again and we will miss the prime Antony at Real Betis. It seems difficult for Antony to develop at Old Trafford. Even Antony seems very happy at Betis in my opinion he has made a big contribution to Real Betis' performance.
