Key Players
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Bruno Fernandes is the centerpiece of both the Manchester United midfield and attack. He scored two goals in the first leg. No wonder they chose him as captain, he influences the team tremendously and stays composed and structured when the pressure is at its highest.. His work rate is just unmatched, and this can be seen on the pitch.
Alex Berenguer (Athletic Club)
Berenguer has been tremendous for Athletic Bilbao, especially when he has played at this level in knockout competitions. With injuries and consequential suspensions, Berenguer will be counted on not simply for his performances but his leadership to lift the team in the second leg and hope Athletic Club can reverse the deficit and have an opportunity to achieve some success in meaningful games this season.
Predictions
It almost seems impossible for Athletic Club to come back, the reason being that the two William brothers are out for the game. We just can’t underestimate any team, as anything can happen in football. A good 5-10 minutes can change the whole scenario. Manchester United, playing at home and leading with three goals, are the favourites to advance to the finals.
