How many times have we beaten the two Spanish giants over a whole tie? We didn't even do it in 98-99. He scored the winner against Barcelona, and that basically repays his transfer fee for me.

Can we please put some respect on his name! It’s so obvious we are a better and more balanced team when he plays.
Also, he looked a lot quicker and sharper tonight! Balde is super quick as well at left back!

Finish aside,his work getting back plus also the balance he brings on that side is great. Good to have him back, disappointed he didn't do the spin skill at 2-1 up ...

He gave some of his critics food for thought today, great performance.
We're a better team with him in it. The problems he has are obvious but the plus sides don't get acknowledged as much I feel: namely we see so much more of the play down that wing, he's seemingly always available to receive a pass and he's never anonymous in games- you can see him quite clearly either fecking up or doing something brilliant or annoying the opposition.
Top goal too

07/08 was the last time and we had a prime Ronaldo back then.
Brilliant tonight. Always involved.
Easily the better player.
He was brilliant. He is so so talented at retaining the ball under pressure.
Disregard his weaknesses for a moment - we're better with him than without him. Changed the game today for us. Maybe less talented than Sancho, but he affects the game much more.
Great goal. Delighted for the guy. Seems like a confidence player and the goal will do him a world of good
Robben regen
He's technically a superb player hence his ball retention skills are of a very high level. He's also got that 'dawg in him' (as they say) and that fighting spirit adds to the effectiveness he provides both going forward and defensively.
He needs to improve his right foot and if he can improve on his right, then he's going to be a much bigger threat. Because some of the bad decisions he's making right now are due to him not being confident with the ball on his right foot.

Been very critical of him this season at times but credit where credit is due....we needed him to come on and change a big match and he did just that. Cracking goal.
Slotted that tap in with aplomb.
Problem is people not appreciating that we don't need every attacker to be directWe're a better team with him in it.

Like others have said he just adds so much balance to the team and such a composed finish on the bounce
We're much better with him, and he's also easily better than Raphinha.
Glad he's back, big things to come for him.

For being so "underwhelming," he's scored quite a few important goal for us thus far.
He's been great today, what else is there to say. So important to how we play, no doubt about it.
His critics can eat shit. He comes from the favela, and he's a fecking warrior. Always does his job defensively too.
€100m? I don't give a shit. I love him.

Lovely goal and he was a fecking terror as soon as he came on
Scored with a super shot. Had a long distance shot saved. Got back to defend well one situation. Might have done better with one crossing opportunity.
Raphinha was really good in the first leg, utter dog shit tonight
Antony's first real test??
Anyone who doesn’t rate him doesn’t have a clue.
Hell score 15 next season

Yeah, said it before in the Sancho thread before but ETH wouldn't want his front line to be full of Rashford's. We also have Bruno who is an extremely direct passer in terms of his passing.
The only thing I want from him is to beat his man one on one a bit more.
Great game from him though, changed the gane.

fecking world class finish and all around good tonight
Great finish. Also interesting he changed his celebration corner and went celebrated with the subs. Maybe something Ten Hag has told the team to do?
Still slow?
I love you guys finally find some love for him.
For me, I was smiling for him to show his class. Must be something unknown for you guys to see one of yours shine at another team because your team simply don't have the means or facilities to keep him on your own team.

You called that a tap in
?Love his attitude, just like Martinez and Casemiro they've bought back the spirit fighting for the team. From last season when it was a bunch of individuals this is now a team everyone playing for each other
His best performance for us in my opinion.
Man for All Seasons
Delighted for him, wonderful finish.
Said it a few days ago that I wanted to see him play against Barca, just a feeling it would be his type of challenge.
Really hope it helps him push on and gain confidence now.

He made a hard finish look easy. Incredible technique.
Stick your fidget spinners up your arses, dickheads!
