After completing two matches in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, it was a bit surprising that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid from La Liga won the first leg and both were reversed and failed to advance to the next round. Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga and Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 are the first to reach the last four of the Champions League, and the two teams will meet in the semi-finals for a ticket to the final.
For Manchester United fans, it seems that they are more concerned about the Dortmund game, because Sancho and Sabitzer, two players, who also raced side by side at Old Trafford last season, now both play for Dortmund, and it seems that there is Manchester United everywhere and there is no Manchester United everywhere. In the second leg against Atletico Madrid, Dortmund, who returned to their home stadium from behind, had to win by two goals to qualify.
Borussia Dortmund got off to a fantastic start, taking a two-goal lead back into the dressing room in the first half, but the second half was so dramatic that Atletico Madrid scored twice in quick succession to equalise and leave the home side in trouble. However, Sabitzer stepped up again, helping the team complete a big comeback with an assist and a goal in the first half, Sabitzer scored three goals alone, and was the biggest contributor to Dortmund's promotion.
Since leaving Manchester United, Sabitzer has been impressive, playing 34 games for Borussia Dortmund this season, scoring six goals and providing eight assists. The Austrian national team can also score frequently, and in the key game at the end of last year, he defeated the opponent with his own goal and successfully qualified for the European Championship finals in advance. On the other hand, Manchester United, giving up Sabitzer in exchange for Mount and Amrabat, the effect is not ideal, and the invisible No. 7 has even become a laughing stock, and in the end can only rely on 18-year-old Maynoo.
Jadon Sancho, who still belongs to Manchester United, has a different story, with the reversal of Atletico Madrid seemingly having little to do with him, and there were some "walks" on the pitch, similar to Marcus Rashford's situation. Jadon Sancho did not play the full game, being substituted late in the second half and had the lowest rating in the team after the game. After the loan move to Dort, Sancho had a brilliant performance, but in the first few games after joining, his performance continued to decline, and now he has maintained the figure of 2 goals and 1 assist, without any change.
According to German media, Dortmund is reluctant to keep the England midfielder, and his inconsistent performance, weekly salary and high value are all important reasons. Although leaving Manchester United can advance to the last four of the Champions League, all this does not seem to have much to do with Sancho, it can only be said that the English have chosen a better team.
Recently, it was reported that the incoming technical director Wilcox is willing to give Sancho a chance, after all, the cost of reinforcements is still quite high, and leaving the team at this time will bring significant losses. However, after entering the Champions League semi-finals, I don't know if Sancho will be more ambitious and will think that leaving Manchester United is the right choice. Perhaps, Sancho will only be able to stay at Manchester United if Ten Hag leaves. However, it is disappointing that, apart from a month of impressive performances, Sancho has not shown enough quality at Dortmund to prove that he is an indispensable player.
For Sabitzer, to the regret of Manchester United fans, neither Mason Mount nor Amrabat could deliver a satisfactory report card for the two players brought in, and it is better to keep the Austrian. As for Sancho, since his performance is not good, and he has conflicts with the team, and he is not disciplined enough, if he can get the right price, the possibility of leaving the team is still quite high.
