Manchester United breathes a new life into the season with Europa League victory

Bilbao, Spain - A show is everywhere, no one sees the result: United shocked the Eroba League club in the Europa League semifinal on Thursday night, thus bringing new lives into their sick season.

The 3-0 victory in Bilbao is amazing, meaning Ruben Amorim's side suffered beatings and bruises by a painful campaign in the Premier League and is on the verge of a European final returning to Bilbao later this month.

The blistering ending in the first half allowed Manchester United to score three goals in 15 minutes.

This actually makes no sense. Manchester United scored hard but suddenly became clinical. Sports clubs have the best defensive record in Spain, but instantly ragged and messy.

For Amorim, the Europa League continues to provide him with a lifeline. The chance to lift the European trophy is one thing - but for clubs and coaches, the financial improvement of Champions League football may be more important before the critical summer transfer window.

This season, Manchester United often withered at these stress moments. But facing a buoyancy sports club flying in Laliga and roaring with its fierce family support, United tamed the lion and quieted the stadium nicknamed the Cathedral.

Secretly, Amorim may have reached northern Spain, hoping his side's hopes will remain alive when the two teams meet again at Old Trafford next week. Instead, he insisted that it wasn't over yet.

It should end, but as they proved again in Bilbao, with Manchester United, you never know what will happen.

"I think it's the best result because no one expects it," Amorim said. "I think it's hard to explain. We improved in the last game and I'm not only focusing on the results.

"We have some games, we lost and played very well. If you imagine the first 30 minutes (tonight), they have some chances to score. When we score, we play more freely. We can win this game, and in the Premier League, we will suffer after the game."

He is right. Amorim's Premier League record is 6 wins in 23 games. In the Europa League, it was nine and seven wins.

For Manchester United, the riding rate to win games is as high as £100 million, but it is equally important for sports clubs. Their fans took advantage of a public holiday that filled the streets of Bilbao hours before the kickoff. From the afternoon, the roads around the stadium are a sea of ​​red and white. Flags hang on the balcony of the high-rise apartment. The flare is filled with smoke.

This is just the third European semi-final for the sports club, and they may never have a chance to play in the finals at St. Mams. In 20 minutes, they looked eager to seize the opportunity.

Amid United's anxiety and edgy situations, the sports clubs were roared by their home fans. Manuel Ugarte was robbed in the midfield and Álex Berenguer forced André Onana to save good savings. A moment later, Iñaki Williams encountered a glorious opportunity after his brother Nico pinched the ball from Victor Lindelöf.

Lindelöf was a surprise joining Amorim, but Diogo Dalot's injury and fitness focus on Luke Shaw and Matthijs de Ligt meant he had to compete. Lindelöf was in the right position at the right time, blocking another Berenguer shot. At that time, it seemed only a matter of time before the sports club could find the net within 20 minutes.

But, like United's quarter-final flip against Lyon, they're here too.

The opening exchange will not do anything to stabilize the tension among Manchester United fans, but at halftime they are booking flights for the finals.

First, Casemiro is driving on the cross of Harry Maguire at the back. Perhaps it should be clear then that it will be Manchester United's night, and when Maguire is in trouble and turns, it becomes a tricky winger on the right to produce the most unlikely assist.

Then, after Daniel Vivian was ruled to return Rasmus Hojlund to the box and was sent away, Bruno Fernandes changed another penalty. Fernandes still has time to score again after being on the railing by Casemiro's clever heel and Noussair Mazraoui.

This season, the sports club admitted only 10 goals at home in Laliga. Manchester United got three in 15 minutes.

This is the first time in nearly 60 years that the United States scored three first-half goals in the main stage game of the European big knockout round.

Sports clubs think it's just because of the referee. The angry player played against Norwegian Escana during the break and continued to protest against punishments and red cards. Home fans screamed and whistled as officials left the court.

"It's too much," Athletic head coach Ernesto Valverde said later. "Not only because they're going to go up 2-0, but because we have to play with one person, we certainly feel that."

The noise surfaced earlier in the second half when a sports club passed the ball and hit the referee's high heels. When Eskas decided not to foul, it seemed like the roof could rise from the stadium as Maguire and Maroan Sannadi tangled to chase a ball on the top.

To their credit, they manage the mad atmosphere and probably expand the lead. Casemiro hit the position with a header and Hojlund approached the fourth point.

It will only do it on a more dominant night. Amorim did not catch up with the celebration, but aired on the cautious side.

"I think they (the players) have to think about the second leg," he said.

"And they have to think more than the other time in other games. The game will be very tough. Everything will change. Here's the message I give to the players. We have to think about Brentford (Sunday) and then think about the second round."
