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.
A red card is knew thing that distabilizes any team, Bilbao gave up after that card they got and united was able to capitalize on that weakness. I wasn't expecting them to beat bilbao so easily but it seems they are focused on winning the Europa this season. It was a nice performance from Fernandez, he was able to score two goals in first half. Manchester united still needs more points to make it to the second position. Let's see if they can make it.
