A Lethal Lapse that Could Haunt Amorim Before Final Clash
Marc Cucurella’s header that opened the scoring for Chelsea was not just a moment of brilliance — it was a glaring indictment of Manchester United’s defensive frailty. As Stamford Bridge roared, Noussair Mazraoui stood frozen, his eyes locked on the ball, forgetting his man. Marc Cucurella ghosted behind him, unmarked, unfazed, unstoppable.
The architect? Reece James with a devilishly pinpoint cross.
Victor Lindelöf, stationed centrally, failed to react — no clearance, no block, just hesitation. The result? Cucurella pounced, and Chelsea took control.
With the Europa League final on the horizon, this collapse isn’t just another mistake — it’s a warning shot. Amorim’s side, already under fire, now faces mounting pressure to fix glaring issues at the back, or risk European heartbreak.
United fans are already seething — and unforgiving. From scathing player ratings to venomous comments, the tide of frustration is rising. Spurs await in the final. If these errors repeat, the consequences could be cata
strophic.
