Bruno received it facing forward instead of fighting for the angle, bounced it first time out wide, and Rashford carried United up the pitch with the ball already moving instead of stopping to control it.

United found the same escape again a minute later, this time through the right. Dalot received under pressure, Demien offered the inside angle, Casemiro became the bounce option off him, and Pellistri finally got the ball with enough room to turn and face forward.

None of it looked spectacular. It didn't need to. Demien wasn't carrying the ball from box to box — he was giving the team clean angles and the right weight of pass, and that alone was enough to make United function again.
Bayern changed their approach rather than repeating the last one.
