Manchester United advanced to the Europa League final after a challenging match against Athletic Club, needing late goals to secure a convincing aggregate victory. Initially leading 3-0 from the first leg, they faced a determined Athletic side missing key players. The match's turning point came with Mason Mountâs goal, alleviating crowd nerves. Unitedâs vulnerabilities were evident, as coach Ruben Amorim acknowledged the challenges faced. Despite these issues, the late goal flurry from Mount and others secured a celebratory atmosphere, marking their progress amid a tough domestic season.
Only once has a team ever failed to progress from a major European knock-out tie after winning the first leg 3-0 away from home.
It was a good result, but I think if you look at both games it was so much tougher than just the result.
