Stand-out highlight of Europa League happened during halftime of Manchester United vs Celta Vigo

Surreal

That takes us back.

The most entertaining moment of the Europa League clash between Celta Vigo and Manchester United didn’t even happen during the game.

It was a moment that perked up everyone who witnessed it.

It was one of those rare occasions where everyone was in agreement and 100% on board with it, whether they were watching at home or sitting in the stands.

Sure, it could have been perceived as pandering, but the reason why that technique works is because it is designed to appeal to most people.

We are of course referring to that magical moment just before the second half was set to kick off. As both teams were emerging from their dressing rooms and walking out onto the pitch, the A-Team theme song boomed out over the PA system.

No, not that mind-numbing borefest from that ginger chap, the fucking theme song from the A-Team… Hannibal, B.A. Baracus, Murdock… all the lads. Here’s a brief clip of the glorious moment.

Why on Earth were Celta Vigo using a combat sports-style walkout song? Why did they choose that song in particular?

These are questions that nobody wanted to know the answer to, as they just enjoyed some good old fashioned silly fun.
