Yeah, I'd say best offence Vs best defence today. I'm thinking that Monaco at home will try to go full out and as a consequence leave space for Juventus breaks.


Ajax leading 2-0 at halftime.

And I wouldn't be certain on United reaching the final just yet.

Apparently Pogba, Smalling and Jones are returning from injuries in time for tomorrow's game. Which is a lot more promising than at the weekend where Smalling, Jones and Rojo was out injured + Bailly and Shaw were subbed off with injuries. Shaw's out for the season, Bailly apparently already ready for Celta game.

With this I think Mourinho will set up to try and get an away goal or two before settling into defence to see out the game. Before hearing of the returning players I assumed he was gonna set up to draw with perhaps an away goal on the counter ...

This game will be more interesting if Celta score an early goal, otherwise it might end up becoming boring for neutrals I reckon.

Yeah, 0-1 away win with both teams not being great at finishing their chances.

Tactically Celta weren't in it and save for Sisto and Guidetti they didn't do much going forward.
Only 1-0 down when going to Manchester is not terrible though; if they change up their approach a bit and are able to capitalise on their chances they could win it on away goals.

Hopefully Mourinho will have united play like the first half instead of like towards the end of the second half where Celta was invited to attack.

To be honest, I give Lyon a better chance than Celta to qualify. Either way, regardless of scoreline, if Lyon - Ajax is going to be like the first leg, then a neutral viewer should always watch Lyon - Ajax.
