Casemiro's reaction as Manchester United and Barcelona players prepare to face each other in the Europa League playoffs on Thursday night is hilarious.
United won 2-1 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate to advance to the knockout stages and knock out one of the tournament's favorites.
Barcelona took the lead thanks to a Robert Lewandowski penalty after Bruno Fernandes fouled Alejandro Balde in the box.
The Reds fought back shortly after Fred's break, with increased intensity at Old Trafford.
Things culminated midway through the second half after United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka fouled Frenkie de Jong. When the Barcelona midfielder touched down, Fernandes kicked the ball into De Jong's stomach.
Both groups of players immediately rushed into the melee. Several United players tried to push Bruno away when Ronald Araujo took the lead. There is a noticeable red shirt missing.
Casemiro is seen at the bottom of the frame, with his hands on his head and looking behind him to see what's going on. The 31-year-old has received a three-match domestic ban after being tried for wrapping his arm around Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes' neck during the 2-1 win earlier this month. As a former Real Madrid player, he knows how intense games against Barcelona can be.
Footage of Casemiro avoiding drama has surfaced online, with fans joking that he knows what will happen if he imagines a hit.

One person said:
"Your birthday decided to take a day off, I don't blame you."
Another way to set:
"He knew what was coming. Smart guy."
A third tweet:
"You can recognize the flashbacks on his face. You have to love Casemiro."
As someone added:
“Casemiro said I was not involved.
United eventually won in the 17th minute thanks to Antony's early effort. After the efforts of Alejandro Garnacho and Fred were thwarted, the Brazil international shot a shot into the bottom corner to seal the victory.
They will now face one of the Europa League leaders in the next round and will not be seeded on Friday.
