Great run by Vini who cuts across a dangerous ball. Still 1-0 |
| 18’ |

Feel like I should mention this. Onana passed a cool ball under pressure from 2 real players pressing hard |
| 19’ |
|
Real get another opportunity as they break the offside trap yet again. We really need to work on this. Granted keeping Vini at bay is a challenge any day |
| 30’ |

Real’s counter is deadly and hard to manage for the united defense. United seem much more fluid in possession. The game is going their way but positive signs for united |

United get 2 great chances. One from open lay as a series of passes opens up Real. The other from a dangerous corner |
| 56’ |

Excellent strike by Garnacho towards goal. Would’ve been a banger if it weren’t for a good save |
| 60’ |

UTD Subs That’s the team . Too many to count. Linerlof, Antony, Dalot Williams, Pellistri, Magure, Sancho |
| 65’ |
|
End to end chances as Scott M. Gets a great chance at goal after a good run. Real get another break on the counter but Onana saves via his legs |
| 68’ |
|
United has been playing very well. We get another good chance with VdB. As i say this a corner from Mardrid requires a line save. Exciting game this |
| 70’ |

Vini Jr goes off |
| 85’ |
|
Chances are going both ways but United definitely have the edge. Real are having difficulty trying to get a stable counter together. As i say this, some people invade the pitch… |

Onana
goddamn, I had high expectations and he is absolutely fucking meeting them. those passes are crisp and into good positions, didn’t catch a single ball going out for a throw-in from him.
sweeped up attacks, claimed crosses.
that ball to I think Eriksen when he was being oressed by 3 real players was very reminiscent of the S3villa game where DDG oassed to Maguire being pressed, and shows how much difference it makes when the pass is properly executed, it was the right power so Eriksen while being closed down wasn’t absolutely fucked, so he could instantly turnover to wan-bissaka with a neat one touch pass
Onana was massive. The quick decisions under immense pressure and pressing attackers at a very high line were incredible to see. I think our team was playing a bad high line at the start and got slowly better at it over time.
oh yeah, Madrid simply stopped pressing for quite long periods, because it wasn’t accomplishing anything.
Sadly our players seemed much less used to what onana was doing than Madrid who knew how to deal with it quite well.
