Not everyone is underestimating Basel. After-all they did beat Manchester United in the group stage and have a good record against English opposition in general.
We all know how good @FC_Basel_en are against English opposition… Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and #mufc suffered losses.
Please FC Basel, do us all a favor and do it again vs city ??— All For United (@allforunited) December 11, 2017
