Real Madrid v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League
Two players who went head to head this midweek

#4 Manchester United display great sportsmanship

SL Benfica v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League
Sportsman spirit at its heartfelt best

In a match where history was made by Benfica by fielding the youngest ever goalkeeper in the form of Mile Svilar, it was the same 18-year-old custodian whose costly mistake decided the outcome of the game. A freekick from over 40 yards was taken by Marcus Rashford which was caught by Svilar but who could not keep it off the line as he was backtracking.

The youngster was absolutely distraught after the final whistle and was close to being in tears. Romelu Lukaku went over to his countryman Svilar and gave him a heartfelt talk to boost his confidence.

The striker also gave him a tight embrace while the other United team members also joined in to console Svilar. The mistake against United would be a huge learning curve for the highly rated goalkeeper but the gesture by the United players would have surely eased some disappointment for the teenager.
