Bruno Fernandes hit twice while Manchester United set in the Europa League final with a clinical performance outside to beat Bilbao 3-0 Thursday. The fervents fans of the house were rabid when the sportsman Daniel Vivian was sent for having withdrawn Rasmus Hojlund and Fernandes at the house the resulting penalty, after Casemiro opened the score against the game in the semi-finals.

With May 1, a public holiday in Spain, the streets of Bilbao were filled with red and white striped shirts from the morning, with thousands of fans who presented themselves at the hotel of their team to see the sports bus introduce themselves for the stadium.
The San Mames were swaying, the raising fans of the red and white cards around the stadium before the game to welcome the players, all born or raised in the Basque Country, according to the club’s policy of a century.
“It is not the scene of dreams, it is the cathedral of football,” he read in the back, a reference to the nickname of the stadium.
Alejandro Garnacho’s early strike has scared the hosts, but the attacker was offside.
Beyond that, the first stadiums of the match for United aimed to hold their teeth and hold the Basque side and their noisy supporters.

The Norwegian referee Espen Eskas and his colleagues were broken by fans of the house, seeing their aspirations to glory evaporate before their eyes.
