Man Utd is leading 0-3 and it just crazy. This is the result i didnt expect from this two teams. From the current result i see Man Utd in the final and before the match i didnt see this happening. This red card messed everything up for Bilbao. As it looks currently we will see a final between Tottenham and Man Utd
Manchester United surprised me today. Playing against the Laliga side, Athletic Club which is considerably one of the to teams in the league and somehow, Manchester United is able to beat them by 3 goals to 0 in their home stadium.
We would say the red card situation had some effects but, considering the fact that, they were already leading by a goal before the red card situation, Manchester United had a really solid play. Taking advantage of the red card to press and be more attacking saves the day for them. If was an important first leg and they made the most of it.
The game was quite fascinating as expected but the competitive level dropped when the red card came, which in my own opinion was the major reason Manchester united won this game convincingly the way they did, because I know for a fact that even though Manchester united was leading by a goal to nil before the red card came, they wouldn't have won it if atletico Bilbao was complete, because we all have seen so many games this season that Manchester united lost or drew after they first scored, so the red card was what killed the game for this atletico Bilbao side.
As for the reverse fixture of this game, though nothing is impossible in the world of football, but the hopes of atletico Bilbao are too slim, if they must qualify, they must win Manchester united by four goals difference or by three goals difference which might end up in penalty shoot out, but Manchester united should not feel too confident so that their will be no room for complacency because it's not over yet.
