Manchester United withdrew one of the big European comebacks when they defeated Lyon 5-4 after extra time (7-6 agg), although there were two goals after 113 minutes.
In the extraordinary competition, which was led by two goals themselves before they admitted four – two of them with the French side down to 10 players – just to turn it around with the winner of Harry Maguire, who raised the roof to Old Trafford.
The victory will set up the semifinals of the European League against the Athletic Club and maintain a dream of trophy – and the next season of the Champions League – alive. Even more importantly, it gave anyone who witnessed one of the unforgettable united nights.
The Amorima Rubem Party looked at full control of the tie when Diogo Dalot doubled his advantage in the second half after the early goal of Manuel Ugarte, with Alejandro Garnacho missing an excellent chance to build his team three.
But Corentin Tolisso nodded to set the nerves he did before Nicolas Tagliafico found an equalizer. Even the Tolisso red card wasn’t enough to move the momentum back, Rayan Cherki dramatically fired Lyon ahead in the extra time.
Alexandre Lacazette made four of the place in the middle of extraordinary scenes and at this stage were United on the floor. But Casemiro won the punishment that Bruno Fernandes converted before Kobbie Mairoo equalized the match in the 120th minute with a beautiful goal.
With Lyon Stun, Maguire, who acted as a temporary striker in despair United, had the last word. The celebrations were immediate and did not stop long after the last whistle, players and drinks of drinking in the game for ages.

How did Utda return the return?
Where do you evaluate it? It’s one of the The The most amazing matches. United led by two but were two for With the hope that everyone had extinguished before extinguishing the hattrick of the late goals, he finished the old Trafford Comeback, which fits the best times in this big club.
United showed the evoking Tifo in front of Sir Alex Ferguson before the five -captains to lift the European trophy on it. Words on the tifo? Never. I will. BUS STOP. It is part of the folklore in United, the stories they tell.
Add it to stories to be handed over by generations. This is not 1999, not Camp Nou, nor the Champions League. But even the victory was just one down. This was the first game in the great European football history, which included five goals in the extra time.
The finals moved, everything that will be and should be remembered. But of course there were falls and UPS, because two of them scored Lyon. How did United lost control of the game in the middle of normal time? And then lag against 10?
At that moment, it was an exercise in self -destruction, supporters watched a different distrust of the surrender they witnessed. But then Twist came. United continued. The pressure suddenly moved. Key players showed their mettle.
Casemiro won the sentence and set up two more. Teening Mainoo, with swivel hips, showed that he has a hobby for great moments. And Maguire. It must have been Maguire. The most chaotic victory of all. Never. I will. BUS STOP.
AMORIM: The best sound in the world
Man utd Head coach My Ruben Amor talk to TNT Sports:
“The sound on the stadium for the goals of the cobbie Mairoo and Harry Maguire was the best sound I’ve ever (heard). Many people want to keep your shirts, I want to keep the sound. It’s the best sound in the world.
“I feel for the people who had to leave when it was 4-2 for operation. They’ll be gutted!
“It’s a strange moment. We know we are inadequately powerful and deserve all criticisms. However, we still have time to make this season something special.
“We need luck with injury. It will be hard.
“I had one final in my career. I had the semifinals in Turin and the final was also in Turin (the Athletic Club semifinals also hosted the European League final).
“We lost the finals, so we’ll change it.”
“Moments like this is all worth it”
Then at the press conference Amorim was asked if he feels that it is possible when 4-2 late …
“You think it’s hard, but you’re trying to make some changes or try to push players and force yourself to give players energy. At this stadium, you always feel like anything can happen in this club.
“All the frustration that the coach has in such a season, frustration, bad moments, when you have such moments, is all worth it. But then you finish the game, calm down and think we have a game on Sunday.
“These moments can create a certain connection between fans and players. We can forget about a few minutes we have, what kind of season we have. Today is a good feeling, but tomorrow we have to start everything again.”
