The Prestigious Europa League 2013/14

For another 48 years!

Could they pay that bonus to one of his descendents or something? They appear to have exhausted all other avenues (praying, pilgrimages to his grave, statue building)

Two identically scuttery left footed penalties.

I’m sure some hipster will come up with a reason why stuttery, scuttery run ups, shots with little power and trying to trick the goalkeeper are preferable to power, placement, knowing what you’ll do and not changing your mind.

Visualisation pal. Only this evening I was at a workshop on that topic. Score the penalty in your mind before you even place the ball.

that hip enough?

Rakitic looks a classy player. United could do worse than signing someone like him.[/QUOTE]

Didn’t see the extra time or penalties last night but I did see the highlights on Sky Sports News. There was a ridiculously good pass played Rakatic in extra time to set up a counter attack chance for Sevilla. Could someone throw up a gif of it if they find it

Exquisite

Found it

Not even @Rintintin could save the Seville penos.

Rakitic’s pass was off his weaker foot though. It is easier play hollywood passes when you are 5-0 up

He’s long been rumoured as a transfer target for us so I look forward to him doing it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke next season.

Nice, the Rakitic-Modric-Kovacic midfield trio should be interesting in the World Cup.

Kovacic had an exquisite assist for Icardi at the weekend.

that’s up there with your ‘strong’ Ulster championship and the mighty Tyrone pal… :smiley:

Higuain had a bigger positive impact on the knockout stages than Missy did.
