When I watched how they won last night, I thought MU should have stepped into the final. They get big wins away, now they only need a draw, or under 2-goal loss to step it. I thought it was not hard when playing it on Old Trafford, because they have benefited from the Fans. Amorim's ambition to step into Champions League qualification next session almost became a happen. And maybe the All England final could happen at Stadion San Mamés Bilbao, only if MU and Tottenham did not make a mistake or blunder, both just need the "parking bus" strategy to make it happen.

A loss against Bilbao with 2 goals difference is still ok for them. They are 3 goals ahead, but Bilbao experienced against Manchester United what Roma experienced against Bilbao. That red card was such a hard decision. It wasn't a wrong decision because rules say if the referee gives that penalty and the defender prevented the striker from taking a blatant chance for a goal, he has to show him the red card.

This whole timing after conceding that first goal and then the waiting time until the referee finally made his decision in the worst way possible for Bilbao, it had to be over for them. I think it is impossible to recover from such a shocking 5 minutes during a game where so much is at stake.

The game in Manchester has to be played, but this is screaming for a miracle or else there is no way for Bilbao to make up for this. Manchester United came back against Lyon within just a few minutes and maybe that evokes some hope, but they will definitely need a few days to digest what happened here.
