Ruben Amorim says he had never lost hope in the Manchester United comeback against Lyon after being inspired by watching the famous final victory of the 1999 Champions League before the quarterfinals of the European League.
United created a turn to rivalry with any other in the history of the club at the time of Extra against Lyon and overturned the deficit of two goals in the area six more minutes, the last two goals of the cobbie Maioo and Harry Maguire come in the 120 and 121 minutes.
It is more remarkable that this followed the almighty surrender, which saw that United would throw away two goal lead to Lyon’s side, which was after the hard release of the Corentin Tolisso to two of its four goals per 10 players.
But somehow, like Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against Bayern Munich in Tábor Nou in 1999, United found a way.
“I watched a comment for inspiration from 1999 (Champions League final),” Amorim said TNT Sports. “The team was tired. In 4-2 you think it is over, but here it will never end. Here everything is possible.”
Amorim added: “This is one type of moment that can change a lot of things. Sometimes we just look at the tactical and physical aspect. But these moments can change a lot in the minds of players. ”
