Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Hehehehehe
They actually did it 
No comeback? I was told there would be a comeback

They also are the first team ever playing in the 3. Liga playing in a final (since it was formed in 2008)
Wasnt Duisburg in the final against Schalke once?
2010/11, yes. But they were playing in the 2nd league that season, not the 3rd.
Stiller scores! Great goal.
What a strike 
Stuttgart has been riding their luck. Fortunately Musa Openda seems to be quite wasteful today.

Woltemade! Top man.
Only 2-1 now, don't mess this up Stuttgart
Has anyone else's ZDF livestream an annoying audio echo in it?
For a few minutes there was no commentary for me (live TV).
He just commented on it and now the doubling is gone
3-1, yay
Woltinho almost with the fourth, but offside anyway
Oooooh wie ist das schööööön, oooooh wie ist das schön
Yes, feck off RB! Perfect semi finals, absolutely loving it.
Not necessarily as deserved a win as Bielefeld's yesterday, especially in the first half Leipzig were the better team for large amounts of time, but showed great mentality to cling on and made the best of the relatively few chances they had.
Looking forward to the final, I'll be cheering for the city that doesn't exist!

Union Berlin were in the 3rd Bundesliga (won the promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in the same campaign though) when played Schalke in the final in 2001.. Amazing achievement by Georgi Vasilev and his boys back then..
No they weren't. They were playing in the Regionalliga, which at that time was the third tier. Which is why I wrote this to limit my statement to the time since the 3. Liga exists:
Who's considered the bigger talent out of Woltemade and Sesko?
Sesko is a true striker, Woltemade more of a playmaker, at most a second striker (despite his size). So that's not a simple comparison to make.
Boooooooo. Between the two, who is ready or the most likely to develop to play for a big PL team and produce in their role?
I think Woltemade has more potential to develop further when he learns to leverage his physicality better. So far he plays like a guy 20cm shorter.
Sesko to me feels quite close to the end product. A good striker already who still should be able to mature a bit more, but looking at the PL I would expect him more to be a good choice for places 5-8, not 1-4. Woltemade at the moment similarly but as I said there is the possibility for more.
I know most don't rate Havertz that high, but after all he plays for top four teams and won the CL, Woltemade could play a similar role.
Bambi nooooooo
If Musiala is injured now, even the Bundesliga title will be highly endangered.

Our bad luck is insane in recent weeks
Red card for Augsburg and goal Kane, nice minute
Edit: maybe offside?
Edit2: no

One more example why VAR should be allowed to intervene with all sending-offs, both straight reds and second yellows. Their player got to the ball, even if ever so slightly, thus should not have gotten sent off with his second yellow card.
Shame for Musiala, huge loss for Bayern. Almost certainly the hamstring, no?

Why wouldn’t VAR intervene on that, to me, very clear foul on Kane? That should have been a penalty.
There's no player with shittier shooting technique than Sane. None.
Worse than Lukaku or Werner?
Cheers! Will keep an eye on both as they're interesting prospects.
Yeah, no. That was a looot of hyperbole.
Musiala out for 8 weeks.
So we face Inter without Neuer, Musiala, Davies, Upamecano, Ito and Coman. Great.

Four starters out is rough. It should still be enough for Inter but any CL ambition this season is basically dead.
The stage is set for one final Thomas Müller masterclass to bid farewell... One can dream
Leverkusen scoring the winning goal in the 91st minute again
Merlin Röhl is popping up again as a player we are interested in. We tried to get him in Jan and it looks like Moyes sees him as his new Souček. Good enough for the PL?
I mean, the guy isn't bad and at 22 I still see some growth potential, but I also don't see why an upper-half EPL team would be interested. But maybe he'll surprise me in that regard, should the deal come to pass.
