Garnacho the star again but we finish second.


This was a bad win, if that exists. 15 points, yet we finished second in the group and have to play another extra knockout round against one of the UCL teams that dropped to Europa.

Garnacho what a goal, he started where he left off and scored the winning goal. He becomes the youngest non-English goalscorer in Europe for man united, a record previously held by George Best. Ronaldo should've taken his chance and score his goal, a player like him shouldn't miss those chances. 

Defensively, we were solid again (never have I thought I'll get to say this) once again as we De Gea gets his 6th clean-sheet in 7 games. Martinez was class once again, his calmness and leadership in defence is impeccable. Not just defence, but his progressive passes are really done well. De Gea's double save right before the break was really important, and he deserves it for his recent performances. 



We still missed Antony, talk all about his productivity and showboating, but he always draws 2-3 players that open up space. We lacked that today. This prevented Eriksen from passing into space like he usually does. Bruno was ineffective the whole game having playing in right wing which is not his preferred position. But, the man who did play his preferred role, Donny Van de Beek, ghosted the game. This could just be his rustiness having played after a long time, but he needs more minutes. 

We went for a long ball tactic in the second half, putting in crosses, but it didn't work as there was nobody who could put in the crosses required. Ten Hag even went as far as playing Maguire in the left wing alongside Ronaldo, which absolutely blew my mind. Can't make a defensive error if you play as a striker, eh. 

Now we will be playing against one of Ajax, Barcelona, Salzburg, Leverkusen, Sporting, Sevilla or Shakhtar. GGMU.
