With several first-team regulars missing due to injury or personal reasons, Ralf Rangnick had few choices for the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the athletes, who unfortunately lost his newborn baby on Monday. The great forward's absence for tonight's game was confirmed earlier on Tuesday, which is completely understandable.
After five minutes, Liverpool had taken the lead, but the images after seven minutes were absolutely wonderful. As seen below, Liverpool and Manchester United fans united for the full seventh minute to show their support for Ronaldo.
It was gratifying to see both sides trying to put their terrible enmity aside. Liverpool fans sung the team's characteristic song, 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' which is unusual for an opposing player.
