Complains about refereeing another game, must accept group-stage failure

The match was complicated, although at the beginning it looked like it was going to be easier because they scored an important goal in the first few minutes, the reality is that the team's performance dropped, they had many opportunities where they didn't take advantage of the spaces and the pressure in attack decreased as time went on, the second half didn't have much of a remedy.

Even David de Gea saved the team in two key opportunities, he had valuable interventions in this match, he was insistent in looking for the result they needed to add better chances to the attack, the direction from the bench was optimistic but it also became more and more uncertainty on the part of the Dutch coach who did not see where they were going to look for the expected result.

They needed another goal, after the great game given by Alejandro Garnacho where he scored the first goal assisted by Cristiano Ronaldo, it seemed that they were going to unbalance the opponent more, but they missed many key options for this game, they could not achieve the goals expected by the institution of the Red Devils, they also had important absences who did not make the trip to Spain, such as Antony, Martial, who are still with muscle discomfort, and Sancho who is ill.

The match was a great victory against the group leaders, who were unbeaten in all their Europa League games, despite this defeat they remained in first place, Manchester United needed to win away by two goals, they only managed one, the result of the victory had a bitter taste for the Dutch coach who was not satisfied with the result of his team.

"You don't always get what you deserve: in the first leg they got a penalty that wasn't there"

Erik ten Hag stated about what was the first Europa League match almost two months ago, the controversial match they lost at Old Trafford on the opening day of the continental tournament, that is where they lost because of the penalty scored against the Red Devils, he commented this in relation to the fact that because of that match they could not aspire the first position, it is a match that is already history for many weeks, it must be acknowledged that the team was guilty of not achieving that first place in the group.
