The world of football on this night was really full of unexpected plots and surprises. From Manchester United's stunning victory, to Atletico's surprise defeat, to Barcelona's thrilling draw, every game feels like a movie to tell.
Let's start with Manchester United's game, which they won 2-1 away at Aston Villa. Hojlen's goalIt was undoubtedly the turning point of the whole game, and his close-range push was the perfect use of Maguire's header. But when it comes to excitement, it must be mentioned that McTominay's stunning header is simply heroic. The win not only brought United the joy of winning four in a row, but also strengthened their position in the table. Onana's 8 saves, also proving his indestructibility in front of the goal.
Then there was Atletico, who failed to enjoy the joy of victory this time around, losing 1-0 to Sevilla. Even with 60% possession and 16 shots on goal, this statistic sounds so domineering, but the inability to score is simply a tragedy on the football field. Griezmann and Morata performances, which is also surprising, their shots seem to be cursed by the opposing goalkeeper, and they can't find the feeling of scoring. The defeat has made Atletico's situation a little delicate, and if they don't bounce back, their Champions League place will be lost.
Finally, let's talk about Barcelona, their 3-3 draw with Granada can be described as a dramatic battle. Barcelona actually started well, with Yamal's goal giving the team hope. But in the games that followed, Barcelona's backline was like a rollercoaster, going back and forth, allowing Granada to find an opportunity and take the lead three times. Although goals from Robert Lewandowski and Yamal helped the team equalise, the problems of the Barcelona defence were still concerning. Such a result has widened the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of the table, and the hope of winning the championship is becoming more and more slim.
