In an astonishing turn of events, Manchester United pulled off a historic comeback to reach the Europa League semifinals, defeating Lyon 7-6 on aggregate. Moments from the end of extra time, United’s European campaign appeared over, having squandered a two-goal lead in the quarterfinal clash.
Facing yet another setback in a difficult season — currently sitting 14th in the Premier League — United dug deep to produce a miraculous finish. They scored three goals in the final six minutes of extra time, stunning Lyon and igniting the Old Trafford faithful.
The dramatic victory sees Manchester United set up a semifinal showdown with Spanish side Athletic Bilbao, keeping their hopes of securing silverware this season alive.
I said in commentary, it’s going to take more than a miracle to get back in it, former United defender and TNT Sports pundit Rio Ferdinand remarked. Now, I’m actually a believer because that was outrageous.
