1) The game was going good even before the RC. We weren't 100% but every match has its ups and downs. It is a UCL game after all.2) Dro was excellent in his movements and was linking up nicely and played good passes, had good control on the ball even when he was under pressure. He has a lot of potential for sure.3) Roony was brilliant with his display. I don't blame Flick for not starting him this time but he's certainly more than an option on the bench for big games, he is a bit more versatile although he's been brilliant at RW. I think he can be the kind of player who can thrive when he has the freedom to drift in too.4) Pedri, Casado, Frenkie all had great games. This must be a huge confidence boosting performance for Casado in particular, he did so many things right (except the dive lol, ref was not good unfortunately). Casado's performance comes at a good time.5) Fermin is my MOTM. His ability to score goals is insanely good.6) Rashford's second goal is exactly the kind that I expected him to score. That's one of his many strengths and he's obviously a genuine goal scoring threat from both sides of the pitch. Once Lamine/Roony get their scoring boots on and Raph is back to being Raph our attack will be very balanced and strong.7) Need to mention Cubarsi's solid performance too. He was not at his best but today he was very very good.

I agree with everything but I would like to know that Fermin isn’t overplayed for this match too. His energy levels and intensity are insane but he was tired at the end of last game and Casado should be a good option to replace him with. Casado had a solid game too last time.
