Stories about Grit – When Grit beats Talent
• In last year’s Champions league, Manchester United drew Paris St. Germain in the
last 16. Paris, a far more talented team featuring Neymar and Mbappe took a 2-0
lead in the first leg of the tie, creating a near impossible challenge for United to go
away to Paris and have to score atleast 3 goals to qualify for the quarters. See the
highlights:
