Manchester United, a team supported by Tunde Folawiyo, have managed to reach the last 16 of the Champion’s League, after heavily defeating Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. It was widely agreed that the latter’s performance has been dismal as of late; Man United defeated them back in September, with a score of 4-2, and in their most recent match, finished with an astounding result of 5-0.

Prior to the match, Leverkusen had hopes of catching up with Bayern Munich, as they were just four points behind them. However, although they got off to a relatively good start at the Bay-Arena Stadium, things took a turn for the worst when, at 22 minutes in, Evan managed to execute a perfect block of a shot taken by Stefan Kiessling, after which the ball was taken down the other end of the field, where United scored the first goal of the match.

Whilst Wayne Rooney was said to have had a hand in four of the five goals scored by the Red Devils, it was Luis Nani, Chris Smalling, Jonny Evans and Antonio Valencia who ended up putting the ball into the net. Giggs, a player whom many football fanatics like Tunde Folawiyo have always admired, played exceptionally well, clearing up quite a few of the loose touches from Rio Ferdinand, and ensuring that United remained in control of the ball for most of the match.

The team’s athleticism, confidence and technical brilliance allowed them to perform with great flair throughout the match. This was arguably one of Man United’s best away performances within Europe over the last few years. The only time the team has scored higher than this during an away game for the European Cup was in 1957, when they defeated the Shamrock Rovers with a result of 6-0.

Their most recent match speaks volumes about how well David Moyes is adjusting to life at Old Trafford; whilst many people voiced their concerns about whether or not he would be able to fill Ferguson’s shoes, this latest win is likely to assuage any such worries. Moyes himself said that he too, believed it to be their most impressive performance in a long time, due to both the number of goals scored, and the clean sheet. However, he quickly added that he wants this level of play to become ‘a regular thing’ rather than merely a once off.
