Melissa McCarthy And Ted Melfi On Why Movies Must Reflect Our Humanity As Their ‘Starling’ Takes Flight – Toronto Film Festival Q&A

Manchester United flop Bebe produced one of the finest moments of his career with a stunning Copa del Rey free-kick on Thursday evening which channelled his inner Cristiano Ronaldo.The 31-year-old, who joined United back in 2010 despite Sir Alex Ferguson having never seen him play, joined Rayo Vallecano for a second time back in 2018.Having scored seven goals last season - he broke his goalless streak after 27 matches this campaign with one of the goals of the season.With the tie sitting in the favour of Real Betis with just 10 minutes remaining of the semi-final second leg, the former Portugal youth international stepped up to take a free-kick from over 35 yards.Bebe put his head down and struck the ball with perfection following a focused run-up, drilling the ball over the wall and past Claudio Bravo on the goalkeeper's side.The forward pointed to the crowd with purpose as he was swamped by his colleagues having made the scoreline 1-0 on the night and 2-2 on aggregate.However, disaster would strike for the away side as Betis found an equaliser through Broja Inglesias - which would see them go through to the final to face Valencia in April.Having joined United from Vitoria de Guimaraes back in 2010, Bebe would only play seven times for the club over the next four years - but did manage two goals.Was Sir Alex too harsh on Bebe? Give us your thoughts in the comments sectionHe told the Mail of the move back in 2015: "It was a shock for me, too."For the week leading up to it, I thought the whole thing was a joke. I thought they were leading me on."Then I realised it was serious.
