Football
It was a game of legendary teams between The Red Devils of England, Manchester United FC and the Rossoneri of Italy, AC Milan. The match was a fierce fight between two of the oldest clubs in football history – with Manchester United scoring in the 50th minute through a solo goal by the new boy, Amad Diallo, after intercepting a brilliant pass from Fernandez.
However, in the 92nd minutes, the Rossoneri equalized through Simon Kjaer’s header from the corner, tying the game. This is the first of two games – and with a one-goal deficit, the red devils will be looking to make the most of their trip to San Siro next week, Thursday, 18th March, 2021.
Arsenal recorded a 3 – 1 win over Olympiacos in what seems like revenge against the Greek side after their dramatic loss to their counterpart last season. Arsenal takes the advantage into the second leg with this win and hopes to move to the quarter-final. While Tottenham Hotspur likewise recorded a 2 – 0 win over Dinamo Zagreb.
Italian team, AS Roma, too, wasn’t left out of the action as they saw off Shakhtar Donetsk, at least for now, with the hope of advancing to the next stage. However, the leader of the Scottish league, Rangers, drew Slavia Prague.
