Manchester United 1-2 Sevilla (Aggregate 1-2): 5 Talking Points

#1 Jose Mourinho gets it painfully and horribly wrong

Beaten at his own game

Bereft of the collective creative services of Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial in a game that undoubtedly demanded creativity, Jose Mourinho inexplicably turned to Marouane Fellaini to partner Nemanja Matic in the heart of midfield.

Alas, there's only so much attacking a side with two defensive players possessing identical skill-sets can do. To make matters worse, Mourinho, for some reason, decided to set up shop in an attempt to catch Sevilla on the counter - a tactic he has famously made his own in big games.

His adversary, Vincenzo Montella, though, offered his own rendition of the tactic as if to say "Two can play the game."

Forget play, Montella seemingly mastered the game, as he engineered a historical smash-and-grab that saw Sevilla qualify for their first ever UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Astonishingly, United were also the first English team to be beaten by Sevilla on home soil.

On the ball, United were visibly shaky. Sideways and backwards passing, easily getting dispossessed, cluelessly handing the ball over to Sevilla at crucial moments of the game.

In fact, towards the end of the game, such was the nature of United's play that the commentators seemed to completely give up commentary in favour of a series of befuddled gasps elicited purely by the poorness of the Red Devils' performance.

Old Trafford did validate it's "Theatre Of Dreams" nickname, albeit it wasn't for Manchester United, but for their Spanish visitors.
