Manchester United of Tottenham Hotspur will go to San Sebastian next month, while Real Sociedad has reached the last 16 of the Europa League. The side of Imanol Alguacil defeated FC Midtjylland 5-2 in the second stage of their play-off Round-equal game on Thursday, which provided a 7-3 total victory.
It was sometimes a bizarre match, because La Real raced in a lead of two goals before she returned to 2-2 from that moment in the first half, they would score three unanswered goals to guarantee their progression. Brais Mendez scored the opener in the Reale Arena, and according to MD he thought about 90 minutes.
“The goal has been achieved. We knew it would be difficult, but it was soon in our faces. We relaxed the last minutes of the first half, it can't happen anymore, but we responded. I don't know if it was reckless, relaxation … They went in front with many players in advance, we wanted to come and play outside and we had losing. Like the second goal, that's my fault. '
As mentioned, La Real will be linked to one of Man United of Spurs during Friday's draw. They will start as underdogs to reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League, but Brais and his teammates will not be afraid of anyone in the way.
“We don't care (who we play). They are two rivals that only with the name they have … They are incredible. If we have to go far, we have to beat the best. I am not afraid of one of them. “
La Real has had a disappointing season so far, reinforced by the fact that they are only 11th in the rankings of La Liga. That draw against Man United of Spurs could offer the catalyst for a strong end of the season if they can get through with a victory over two legs.
