Football. Ever so unpredictable. Ever so erratic. These comments were indeed proven right after the wild mid-week UCL QF. Manchester United were held to 2-2 draw by Porto on Wednesday morning. I was stunned by the harrowing result. It felt surreal but yet I knew that the harsh reality was staring at me. Manchester United's defence had turned from as tight as skinny jeans to as leaky as Chek Wei's penis. Formerly revered as the impregnable fortress, they are now a far cry from their former selves, letting in 10 goals in the last 4 games. Morale is certainly at an absolute low at Manchester United. However, I will not dwell on this loss. They just have to pick themselves up again and get ready for their next battle.
Manchester United will have to win to advance. Anything less than a win will culminate in a premature exit for Manchester United. This is indeed a massive dent in United's quest for a quintuplet but my faith is unyielding. If fans could still remember the miraculous comebacks in Manchester United's historic treble-winning season, like the victories over Bayern and Juventus in the UCL and the Ryan Giggs solo goal against Arsenal in the FA cup semi-final, then you know Manchester United at their zenith is unstoppable. Comebacks are their forte. A win at Porto may require a Herculean effort from Manchester United but it is defnitely not mission impossible.
And like I said, 'Football. Ever so unpredictable. Ever so erratic'
And maybe Bayern Munich will thrash Barcelona 5-0 at Allianz Arena? Just maybe. You never know.
