After the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern, Grand Paris also played the first leg with Dort, after 90 minutes of play, Phil Krueger scored the only goal of the game, Dort took the lead 1:0, and it was not Phil Kruger who won the best of the game, but Manchester United's abandoned general: Sancho. The former England phenom slapped Ten Hag in the face again with a Champions League record-breaking performance.
As one of the talented players that have emerged in England over the years, Sancho rose to fame at a young age, arriving at Dortmund in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee of 20 million euros, and after a season of adaptation, Sancho has played double-doubles in three consecutive seasons, and the talent-seeking Manchester United also spent 85 million euros to bring Sancho back to the British Peninsula in the summer of 2021. It's just that Sancho's form has plummeted when he returned to the Premier League, not only affected by injuries many times, but also very lazy on the field, and the biggest problem is that he was abandoned by Ten Hag.
At the start of the season, Sancho was relegated to the development squad and ordered not to use the dressing room due to a conflict with Ten Hag, a criticism from Ten Hag and a refusal to apologize. It wasn't until the winter window that Dort stepped in in to bring Jadon Sancho back into the team. Sancho, who returned to his old club, immediately found his confidence.
Sancho was tasked on the right side of the Champions League semi-final against Paris on the day and lived up to the trust of his boss and team-mates, delivering 12 dribbles, winning 13 aerial duels and creating three key passes, as well as 88 per cent He also scored a game-high 8.5 points after the game, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he single-handedly broke down the left side of Paris, and from this game alone, Sancho is fully worth the transfer fee of 85 million euros.
This is the first time in eight seasons that a player has completed more than 10 dribbles in a single game in the Champions League semi-finals, and the last player to have more dribbles in the semi-finals was Messi in 2008. Although Sancho's performance of 3 goals and 1 assist this season is not impressive, it is also better than Antony, and his form is a visible recovery, which is also a stark contrast to Rashford, who has been in a bad position from time to time.
Due to his good performance, Dort intends to re-sign Sancho in the summer window, and if Ten Hag does not step down, Sancho will definitely not return to the Theatre of Dreams. And once Ten Hag is replaced, Sancho's return is not out of the question. Interestingly, with Dort's defeat to Paris, the Premier League is confirmed to miss out on next season's fifth Champions League spot, which means that Manchester United, who are currently sixth with 54 points and are confirmed to miss out on the top four, will not be eligible for next season's Champions League.
