Red Devils vs Athletic Club: The Comic Clash…
Manchester United are all set to take on Athletic Bilbao under Old Trafford’s magical floodlights, as the second installment of their Europa League epic draws near. Our red mobsters, led by their wizard-duo Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, waltzed through San Mames last week with a 3-0 victory, leaving Bilbao scratching their heads like cartoon villains trying to hatch a comeback scheme. But remember, it ain’t over till the fat referee blows the whistle!
Now, Coach Ruben Amorim might appear calmer than a Zen monk sipping tea, but deep down, he knows this football shindig could turn into a nail-biting thriller. “We ain’t countin’ our goals before they’re scored,” quipped the gaffer. With Old Trafford’s stands vibrating with the roars of the Red Army, Ruben knows any lapse in concentration could be as disastrous as trying to dribble a porcupine. Keep your focus, lads, he warns—or prepare to reap the whirlwind!
In the toon world of football rules, the once-mighty away goals law has vanished into oblivion, kicked away like a misbehaving soccer ball in 2021. If the scores end up tied, extra-time will stretch on like a taffy tug-of-war, until penalties boot this showdown to its climactic end. It’s Wembley or bust as the winner grabs a golden ticket to Bilbao’s grand finale, where an epic face-off with Tottenham or Bodo/Glimt awaits!
