Athletic Bilbao had an unbelievable bad match and it is completely different than their general performances in UEFA Europa League this season, it's their terrible day but its effects are big and truly harm their chances to beat Manchester United in an aggregated result. Manchester United performed bad in this season and they can lose big but in a very important match next week, with this great advantage, I don't believe Manchester United players will fail to secure it and win eventually.
It was a bad day at work yesterday for Athletico Bilbao as they were partially eliminated from the Europa league. They were not the usual team we know yesterday and performed short of our expectations. Although, the red card and the penalty made things very tough for Athletico Bilbao yesterday. It was actually a big mistake to lay a hand on a striker in a situation like that, he might still missed the chance if care is not taken and you don't need to commit unnecessary foul to put the team on disadvantaged. It would only take a miracle for Athletico Bilbao to turn things around in the second leg. Such a pity.
As for Manchester united, they played excellently yesterday but still suffering from lack of accuracy in their finishing. They could have easily scored two or more goals towards the end and settle everything in this first leg but they wasted their chances. Athletico Bilbao played with ten men for the whole of second half but unfortunately Manchester united could not even score a single goal. This obviously show how weak they were in the front.
