Champions League: Sevilla 2, Manchester United 1
Two more teams qualified for the Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday, and they are not exactly the two you probably thought would be there. While Roma got by Shakhtar Donetsk as expected, Manchester United crashed out of the cup after a shock home defeat against struggling Sevilla. Here’s how it went down:
Sevilla 2, Manchester United 1 (2-1 on aggregate)
After a 0-0 first leg, it was always going to be a dangerous second leg for Manchester United. Vincenzo Montella’s team hadn’t been sharp as of late and has had massive struggles in front of goal. I guess they just needed Wissam Ben Yedder to play more.
The French striker came on as a substitute in the second half and scored two quick goals as Sevilla stunned the world and Old Trafford with a 2-1 victory.
The talented striker finished his first one superbly before getting help from David De Gea on the second, saving the day for the Spanish club when it felt like United would get a lone goal and move on.
It’s a massive blow to United’s season, which sees them with no chance of winning the Premier League and now out of the Champions League. Questions will come up now as to whether Jose Mourinho is the man to lead this team in a tie it was expected to advance from with not much trouble.
And for Sevilla, they continue to dream.
