This Wednesday, at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United drew 1-1 against Young Boys of Switzerland, a smaller team that complicated things for those led by Ralf Rangnick, who presented a mixed roster for the last date in the Champions League.

Mason Greenwood was in charge of opening the account for the Red Devils, just at 9 minutes; However, when the clock struck 42 minutes, Fabian Rieder put concrete figures on the scoreboard by scoring the parity goal for the Swiss, they were left with the illusion of qualifying at least for the UEFA Europa League.
For the midweek duel he was not present Cristiano Ronaldo, the big star Manchester’s red institution, which will surely play an important role in the knockout stage of the most important club competition in Europe.
It is that in the next round, when occupying the first place of his group, in which he will face the second of the different areas in dispute. The only second he could not face would be with Chelsea, current champion of the tournament and who is of the same nationality.
In fact, there could even be a duel highly interesting between Manchester United, by Cristiano Ronaldo, and PSG, by Lionel Messi; recalling what were those luxury duels of the Spanish League between Barcelona and Real Madrid, times in which a tremendous rivalry was formed.
