This game is a very crucial game and the ref should have only given the penalty and maybe a yellow card not a red, see how messy the outcome of the game was, it killed the morela of the host team which wasn't suppose to be at least a yellow card. If Manchester United was too good they would have gotten more than the 3 goals in that encounter but I feel the return leg will be different from what we witness. The Lyon game I don't want to say but that red card call was right to me but this very one I don't agree to it, the Red Devils may have their way but I believe Athletic Bilbao will bounce back. They were frustrated and if not for the control of the players it would have resulted to something different but that 3 goals will mount enough pressure on Amorim's men next week.
on one hand the red card was a hard blow for Bilbao so that it made their plans fall apart, but unfortunately Bilbao also had to let their goal be bombarded with three goals and that made it even more difficult for them in the competition. Manchester United were certainly very happy with the result and surprised people, because United were not favored at all in that match. Leg 2 will be easy for Amorim's troops because they already have a lot of capital and I am optimistic about their chances of advancing to the final round.
To be frank with you the Athletic Bilbao side lost it all after the red card and going forward became a problem and their attempt stopped coming because the only thing they could think of was defending just not to allow the goal to increase at least they might have a fighting chance in the reverse fixture. I won't be surprised if they play something different at Old Trafford, for the game to be in favor of Athletic Bilbao. Believing that Amorim will be too comfortable and having the confidence in the boys to get something positive, for me I won't go into that game to defend but continue pushing to add more goals to the already 3 goals in the first leg but all the same, I don't see Manchester United getting anything in this competition.
