We were already big fans of the Europa League’s group-winner-rewarding format even before it gave us the sight of Cristiano Ronaldo playing up front alongside Harry Maguire…Alas, we find ourselves in a position where we are required to give UEFA some credit. Nobody wants to have to do so, but fair’s fair.
But now, and this daft season above all, the reward for winning the group is huge: two fewer games of football. And the high-calibre identity of this year’s Champions League frauds only adds to the fun. It means almost every game matters even in those oft-seen European groups like this one where it’s very quickly very obvious which two teams are going through.
There are some proper giants and assorted other trappy opponents potentially now blocking United’s path. Barcelona and Juventus are obvious standouts. Ajax are nobody’s idea of an easy European night. Sporting looked quite good on Tuesdays and Wednesday, albeit in the Champions League’s most avowedly Europa-ish group. Sevilla are seasoned Europa League specialists.
If the extra games are a burden United could do without, the performances of Garnacho over the last two games are a significant silver lining. He was involved in another lightning United break before half-time that started with him winning the ball on the edge of his own area and it is no exaggeration to say that in a front three alongside Ronaldo and Bruno it was the young Argentinian who was the biggest threat.
