The Royal Society is far from the miracle at Old Trafford

Those of Imanol Alguacil gave war to Manchester United, but they failed in the most important thing, in scoring a goal. And that they had a maximum penalty in favor before the first 15 minutes, when Daniel James committed a child penalty on Gorosabel.
Mikel Oyarzabal took responsibility, but did 'paradinha' and jumped before hitting the ball and he sent it off course. He waited for Dean Henderson to step aside, but the keeper didn't and missed.
That penalty could have changed things in Manchester, but the 0-4 was a very difficult slab to lift for Real, who also had to put up with a Bruno Fernandes in a state of grace.
The Portuguese, to whom Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not give rest despite being the tie practically done, was United's great threat, missing a hand-to-hand and crashing a ball over the crossbar in the second half.
With the passing of the minutes, The spirits of both teams declined and with it the rhythm of the match. La Real hardly believed in their options and United saw that they did not need to accelerate.
