Twitter Reacts as the Red Devils Draw in Spain & Roma Snag Important Away Goal in Loss to Shakhtar

The final matchday of the Champions League Round of 16 first leg confirmed one thing to us: David de Gea is not human!

The action saw Manchester United given a real run around by Sevilla, whilst over in the Ukraine, Fred scored a wonder goal from a set-piece, and a crucial goal-line clearance that might just have saved Roma.

So let's have a look at how things went down on Twitter on Wednesday evening...

Last night provided plenty of the Champions League drama that we all love, even with a scoreless draw. Plenty of great saves, a screamer, and Mourinho's touchline plans on fire all played a part in making one more memorable night.

With the first legs all wrapped up, all we can do is mark our calendars for March 6th when Champions League action returns...
