Manchester United vs Ajax - UEFA Europa League Final - Match Preview

23:02

It's a big game for: 

 Paul Pogba. Perhaps an obvious choice, because of his astronomical transfer fee. But the Frenchman has not been able to live up to that price tag, in most of his games. If he could play a pivotal role in this Europa League final, he might be able to keep the pundits silent for a while. 


Best stat:

 3. Jose Mourinho is aiming to join Rafa Benitez and Udo Lattek in winning major European trophies with three different clubs.
Player to watch:

 Kasper Dolberg. The teenage forward is a big find for coach Bosz's disposal. With 23 goals in all competitions and six in Europa League. United's backline will have to be wary of the 19-year old.

Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first player to score 100 goals in Europe as Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-1 at the Allianz Arena.

A double from Ronaldo overshadowed Arturo Vidal's opener as Madrid beat 10-men Bayern in the first leg of the UCL at the Allianz Arena.

Real had a good start with Kroos curling in from the wing and Benzema heading it to the goal, but Neuer tipped it well and claimed the rebound well.

Bayern took the lead in the 25th minute through Arturo Vidal who leapt high and got a powerful header, Keylor Navas got his hands to it but the header was too powerful for him. Goal. Bayern Munich. 1-0(Vidal).

Just before the break Vidal lashed a penalty over the bar and missed the opportunity to double Munich's lead.

The scores were level in the 47th minute. Carvajal gave a low cross to Cristiano who finished sweetly past Neuer through a half-volley. Goal. Real Madrid. 1-1(Cristiano Ronaldo).


Javi Martinez was sent off in the 61st minute after he stuck out a leg to stop Ronaldo's run with the ball.

Neuer stuck out his powerful right arm to deny Ronaldo's thunderous shot from the 12-yard area.

But the big German could not stop Ronaldo to score his 100th European goal. Asensio curled a wonderful left-footed cross to Ronaldo who tapped in and Neuer could not keep it out. Goal. Real Madrid. 1-2(Cristiano Ronaldo).

Sergio Ramos got the ball in the back of the net but was flagged offside.

Fast facts:

  • Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 6 times in the previous five game against Bayern.
  • There were 173 seconds between Javi Martinez's first and second yellow cards.

18:14

Player to watch: 

Robert Lewandowski. The Polish international is a doubt for the big game against Real Madrid, but if he is cleared for the match. Lewandowski can cause big problems to the Real Madrid defence.


Best Stat:

 5-0. Three years ago, Real Madrid pounded Bayern Munich 5-0 on aggregate. Beating them 4-0 at Munich. Later Real won their, La Decima that year.
It's a big game for:

 Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese megastar has not scored for a very long time (more than 500 minutes) in the UCL and is leading Lionel Messi by 95-94 for the race to the century. It would be interesting to see that if Ronaldo scores or not, because Messi didn't scored against Juve.

Griezmann's late strike helps Atletico Madrid to dent Real's title hopes.

 Zidane's Real were given a setback by Antoine Griezmann's late goal at the Bernabeu to hold to World Champions on a 1-1 draw.

 Real started the game on a positive note and Ronaldo and Benzema collaborating for a one-two before Benzema shot a powerful drive but was saved sharply by Oblak.

 Stefan Savic denied Cristiano Ronaldo's certain goal miraculously with a wonderful and possibly the greatest goal-line clearance. 

 Antoine Griezmann took off as a one-man counterattack and pulled the trigger from the edge of the box, but Keylor Navas was on his toes to produce a full stretched save to his left- bottom corner.

 Pepe finally broke the deadlock from a Toni Kroos free-kick, leaping over everyone and finishing with his head giving no chance to Jan Oblak. Goal. 1-0. Real Madrid(Pepe).

 Keylor Navas again produced a wonderful save to deny Atletico from scoring. Minutes later Navas again produced a sensational save from a Griezmann's bicycle kick, but was later flagged offside. 

 5 minutes before time Antoine brought back Atleti in the game with a perfect finish and dented Real's title hopes. Goal. 1-1. At. Madrid(Griezmann).

 Real would have been topped off the table if Barcelona won against Malaga but the defending champions were caught off guard by Malaga and lost 2-0.
