Here are the three points of the match. 1️⃣ - Nightmare start for Spain As early as the 4ᵗʰ minute, Romania opens the scoring with Luis Munteanu. Chilling atmosphere for La Roja. And as if that wasn't enough, Mateo Joseph misses a penalty in the 26ᵗʰ... In short, a start of the match to quickly forget for the young Spaniards. 2️⃣ - Rapid turnaround in 3 minutes Just when they were thought to be at the end of their rope, the Spanish hopefuls strike in the last minutes: Jauregizar equalizes in the 85ᵗʰ, and Roberto Fernández makes the entire bench explode in the 88ᵗʰ. Two goals in three minutes, that's what we call a rapid comeback! 3️⃣ - Jauregizar and Roberto, the heroes of the evening Mikel Jauregizar, solid throughout the match, comes out of his shell at the right time to put his team back in the game.

Report: Liverpool target top Spanish midfielder to bolster Slot's midfield
Liverpool Eye Jauregizar as Slot Seeks Midfield Balance Scouting for Steel and Style Liverpool's midfield rebuild may still be incomplete. Despite the promise shown by Ryan Gravenberch, and the short-term utility of Wataru Endo, there remains an itch to scratch – a desire for a more traditional ball-winner. As reported by Bence Bocsak of Anfield Watch, Liverpool's search for a defensive midfield lynchpin has led them to one of Spain's emerging stars. 'Anfield Watch understands the club's official are still keen to add a midfield destroyer to Arne Slot's ranks.' That destroyer? Mikel Jauregizar. It's a name that might not have widespread recognition among Premier League followers just yet, but within the corridors of Kirkby, it appears to be near the top of the summer wishlist. 'Anfield Watch can exclusively reveal that at the top of the list of holding midfielder targets for Liverpool this summer is Mikel Jauregizar.' Jauregizar's Rise in Bilbao The 21-year-old has had a breakout season with Athletic Bilbao, clocking 44 appearances and driving their impressive Europa League run to the semi-finals. What sets him apart isn't just potential — it's performance. His metrics speak to a player already operating at an elite level defensively. Beyond the Numbers – A Gerrard-esque Flair? There's also flair to his game. Not content with disrupting opposition play, Jauregizar is equally capable in possession. As Bocsak notes, he's 'technically gifted' and can 'create chances for his teammates from a deep lying position.' His long-range strike at Old Trafford, a 'Steven Gerrard-esque pile driver,' only reinforces that he's far more than a one-dimensional midfield stopper. Photo: IMAGO That dual threat — control and chaos — is something Liverpool's midfield has missed since the early days of Fabinho. Endo has experience and effort, but not the mobility or creativity. Gravenberch has technical ability and flair but not the bite. Jauregizar might offer both. Transfers Hinged on Squad Movement Of course, financial flexibility is always a concern, especially with decisions looming on Luis Díaz and Ibrahima Konaté. As Anfield Watch notes, 'Liverpool are yet to make important decisions on the futures of the likes of Ibrahima Konate and Luis Diaz, which will determine just how much of a budget Hughes will have left to spend.' Advertisement But if movement happens, and if the club can shift its chess pieces effectively, Jauregizar could be the one major signing that defines Arne Slot's first summer. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis There's always a name that flies under the radar before lighting up Anfield. Mikel Jauregizar might just be that figure. Slot wants control. He wants his midfield to be an engine room — one that stops counters, wins second balls, and pushes forward with composure. Jauregizar brings that blend in a way no current squad member quite manages. Endo's aging, Bajcetic is still raw, and Alexis Mac Allister — brilliant as he is — has been miscast too deep at times. One fan might look at this report and say: 'We've had enough of missing out — Caicedo, Tchouaméni, Bellingham. This one feels gettable. Let's not wait for him to become a £100m man elsewhere.' That's the lesson of the market — spot talent before it becomes unaffordable. If Liverpool act now, Jauregizar could become the heartbeat of Slot's Anfield evolution.

Manchester United vs Athletic Bilbao: Visitors take lead but trail on aggregate in Europa League
Latest updates Luke Slater 08 May 2025 8:32pm 8:32PM GOAAAAL! Athletic Bilbao take the lead! What a strike from Jauregizar. It came from Maguire's loose ball on the edge of his own penalty box. One shot is blocked before the ball falls to Jauregizar, who is 25 or so yards out and sends it into the top-right corner! Onana gets something on it but not enough... Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 1 (1-3 agg) 8:31PM 29 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 Casemiro launches the ball forward to Dorgu on the left wing, but his cross is not up to scratch. He's been good so far, though. Easily headed away, the cross. 8:30PM 28 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 Garnacho fouled, cynically, with a knee in the back from Yuri as he passed the ball back to his own defence. Should have been a booking. Wasn't. 8:26PM 25 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 Hojlund gets penalised for hand-ball going forward when is hoping to get through on goal. He was a long way from it but he was pulled back a bit, I think? No, maybe not. Hand ball was a little unfortunate. Mazraoui is booked, though, for an earlier challenge where he used his arm on an opponent. Athletic Bilbao with 58 per cent of the possession. 8:23PM 22 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 Dorgu drives forward again, into the penalty box! He ends up on the floor and thinks he has been fouled by a blue shirt. Probably not a penalty but is it really any worse or better than the instance in the first leg where United were awarded a penalty? Not really. A similarly sort of arms-around-the-attacker situation. The VARs are having a look but check is over and no penalty given. 8:22PM 20 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 Dorgu drives forwards on the left... and then loses it to bring about another Athletic Club attack. Berenguer has a crack from 22 yards out. Tries to place it in the bottom corner with the inside of his foot but sends it low and wide. 8:20PM 18 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 Not a great deal of control for either side at the moment. United look a little shaky at the back, a cross is cut out eventually but it nearly presented another great opportunity for the visitors, who are being given space or at least are finding it. 8:19PM More nostalgia at Old Trafford... Not sure how it comes across on TV but in the stadium it looks like United only have to beat the Chelsea team of 2015-2016 for a place in the Europa League final. Strong mid-2010s kit vibes. 8:17PM 13 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 United's first chance! Fernandes puts Garnacho through on goal and he takes a good first touch but just dithers slightly in trying to beat Agirrezabala, who slides in and claims the ball with his hands. Space is opening up and the chances are starting to come for United, though, as their opponents commit at the other end. 8:16PM 12 mins - Man Utd 0 Athletic Bilbao 0 Athletic Bilbao do not really take advantage of the free-kick and United counter with Garnacho looking to run onto a loose ball over the top... Agirrezabala charges out of his box and clears, though.
