Happy to see Roma go through.

It's funny because the problems for United started in the road leg.

A 0-0 draw in the road leg is almost the worst possible result - maybe even worse than being down 1-0.

If you are down 1-0 you know you have to push and play aggressive, and the other team likely sets up more defensively as you push for a goal. Which I think is a better attitude to have going into the 2nd leg.

0-0 coming home means that as the home team it is more likely the coach is going to set up more conservatively since you really can't concede a road goal, and you don't really need to push for a goal that hard since you aren't "down".

But when it's 0-0 as the road team you can really set up to play aggressive. 0-0 does them no good since now you're playing extra time in their building. Pushing for a goal makes the most sense since a 1-0 lead is suddenly a 1.5 goal advantage and they need 2 to win. And being down 1-0 doesn't matter since you always needed at least 1 to go through.

Mou played right into that today. Set up defensively, Sevilla came out playing like they had nothing to lose, and now they are out.
