Who’s To Blame For The Man United Mess?
United fell 2-0 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Tuesday night, a result that leaves them sitting mid-table in the league phase with work to do. Diego Simeone’s Atlético were organized, ruthless on the break, and barely gave the visitors a sniff. After two matches, United have three points — far below what their fans expect in Europe.
The defeat piles pressure on the club’s project. Once again, United looked short of ideas against a disciplined side, and the questions around their European pedigree are only getting louder.
Madrid’s Chaos Brings Roma Comeback
If United were flat, Real Madrid were pure theatre. José Mourinho’s side trailed 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico but scored three goals in a frantic final eight minutes to win 4-3. Carlos Espí sparked the revival, Endrick nodded home from a corner, and former Roma defender Antonio Rüdiger completed the stunning turnaround — with young Endrick named Player of the Match.
Meanwhile, defending champions PSG underlined their credentials with a 4-2 win over Manchester City at the Etihad, while Liverpool outgunned LASK 6-3 in Austria and Aston Villa thrashed Fenerbahçe 6-0 — their biggest-ever European victory.
