Our domination of group-stage games with Omonia Nicosia and Sheriff Tiraspol, plus front-foot away showings in San Sebastian and Barcelona, mean we are by far and away the Europa League's premier passing side. De Gea has kept goal for every minute of our European campaign so far and his eight Europa League games have seen him register four clean sheets, which no other keeper in the competition can beat. Marcus also scored a brilliant individual goal in Barcelona which sees him sit level with Vitinha (Braga), Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco) and Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord) at the top of the Europa League charts – only Gimenez is still competing, as Braga and Monaco exited during the play-off stage.

Los Verdiblancos topped their Europa League group before the winter break and have been in good form with three consecutive wins before Sunday's stalemate. [Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/betis/2023/03/06/6405cf2b46163fc78a8b45a7.html), the Sevilla-based side will be boosted by the return of veteran attacking midfielder Canales.

Manchester United will return to action this week as they face Real Betis in the first leg of the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League.

Casemiro has played an integral role in United’s improved midfield displays this season. The Brazilian was perhaps the Red Devils’ best player in their humiliation at the weekend and will hope to propel them to victory on Thursday. The visitors have won just one of their six competitive games against English opposition and will have an uphill task when they head to Old Trafford on Thursday.

Betis were without injured creative stars Nabil Fekir and Sergio Canales, but the latter is set to return on Thursday after injury, back in training on Monday with his team-mates. “For a long time this team has been (competitive), no matter who they are playing against. “Betis fans should be happy with the magnitude of the tie. After stints at Real Madrid — finishing second again in the league — and Malaga, Pellegrini took over at Man City, winning the Premier League in 2014, beating Liverpool to the title. We have to do well at Old Trafford and keep our hopes high in the first leg to see if we can go through in the return.” The Chilean will be the happier of the two, ahead of Thursday’s first leg visit to Old Trafford, while Ancelotti’s Madrid must now host a Liverpool side with a newfound spring in their step in the Champions League next week.

That would also be true if a Premier League club outside the top four wins the Europa League. If a team who finishes in the top four also wins the Champions League, the place isn’t passed on to another club. At least if Spurs were to seal a place in the top four this season but Chelsea repeat their 2012 trick by winning the European Cup while finishing fifth or below then no longer would the fourth-placed team have to give up their spot.
