In San Mamès, precisely, the Athletic indeed collapsed before Manchester United this Thursday in the semi-final to go (0-3), Bilbao it is true having undergone a cruel double penalty in the first act.
While Casemiro had just opened the brand for the Red Devils (30e), Vivian in stride caused a penalty – transformed by Fernandes (37e) – and received by a red card which naturally weighed the debates.
Fernandes went there with his double (45e) then the Mancunians were able to manage without blinking for the return match next week at Old Trafford. With a little idea already of their possible opponent in the final of the competition.
At the same time, Tottenham had Bodo/Glimt in London (3-1), taking an option on the ultimate confrontation of Bilbao in three weeks. Johnson (1era), Maddison (34e) and Solanke (61e on penalty spot) struck for the Spurs, when the Norwegians saved the honor at the end of the game by Saltnes (83e).
