However, I did just hear the PSG manager saying their defence did well to not concede even one big scoring chance, so if that is the case then I upgrade my disappointment to being very severely disappointed. But considering where the team was before Ole took over... I can live with the loss.
1 shot on target for United, lowest at home in the CL since February 2005.
I just felt like the occasion got the better of them, they thought it would be easier without Neymar and Cavani but was probably the opposite. Di Maria was quality and I just knew the booing would only drive him on, don't know why fans do that, it always backfires.
The halftime subs also killed United, replacing Martial and Lingard with the Stodge Brothers was always going to make things much harder. I love Mata for the person he is, but he doesn't fit United's style of play anymore, he just doesn't have the pace. And as for Sanchez...
Mbappe is also ridiculously quick, like McMananamanaman said in commentary "pace trumps everything".
2nd leg will be a dead rubber, they should focus on getting top 4 now so that they can have another shot at the CL next season.
