Yeah, just saw. I had hoped Najar would be ready to play already (defender). You'd have enjoyed seeing him play. He used to be a striker who then became a defender. It's visible in the way he defends and I like that.

Know any other defenders who used to be forwards?

That was a good game, way better than the first leg. That 3rd sub of ours after 75 mins was a horrible move though. We could have used Hanni for the full 120 minutes too. Man Utd were better though, so all in all they deserved to advance to the semis. We can be proud of our performance tonight!

Oh man was watching the penalty shoot out of Besiktas - Lyon on Eurosport without commentary and the way the entire stadium instantly silenced every time Lyon scored their penalties.

Man united - Anderlecht game had really end to end stuff despite only being 1-1 until extra time with neither team being able to put their chances away. The momentum definitely went in Man united's way when Teodorczyk and Hanni were subbed off. After that it was constant pressure from United with Rashford and Zlatan having multiple chances, but their finishing letting them down over and over again.
After Rashford's goal in extra time Anderlecht was invited to come at United and nearly got a couple headers away with Kara being moved up front.

Ajax with two goals in extra time to take them through on away goals against Schalke as well. Thrilling end to the 3 games that were tied after 90 minutes.
