In what could be regarded as the shocking outcome of the fight between David and Goliath as seen in the Holy Bible, Manchester United has been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a Championship side.
Jose Mourinho
Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has claimed that Bristol City were “lucky”, after they beat his side 2-1 to qualify for the semi-final of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Joe Bryan’s opener was cancelled out by Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s fierce free-kick, before Korey Smith netted the winner in the dying seconds of the game.
Bristol City will now face Manchester City in the final four.
“They (Bristol City) were a bit lucky. But they fought a lot to be a bit lucky. They won the game when everyone was waiting for our goal.
“It’s a beautiful day for a football. The team from the lower division won. I don’t want people to think me saying they are lucky to be the main thing. I am happy for them.
“In the second-half after the goal we were the best team, we reacted well. For them it’s a big night, in this club we know how to win and we know how to lose. We wish them luck in the semi-final.
“It was another day in the office and for some of our players they probably didn’t even want to come into the office today,” Mourinho told Sky.
