Manchester United can save his previously devastating national season after a sensational comeback with an international title.
Thanks to a spectacular 5: 4 (2: 2, 2: 0) home win against Olympique Lyon after extra time, the English football record champion is in the semi-finals of the Europa League. The first leg with the French first division team had assumed 2-2.
The Red Devils saved a completely crazy final phase in the extension. After a 2: 4 deficit, Bruno Fernandes (114./Foulelfmeter), Kobbie Mainoo (120th) and Harry Maguire (120.+1) were still shooting the game that had already been lost in favor of the home team and put the Old Trafford in complete ecstasy.
Tolisso meets and sees traffic light card
In the regular season, Manuel Ugarte (10th) and Diogo Dalot (45.+1) had already sent the team of United trainer Ruben Amorim to the Siegstrasse with their goals. Ex-Bayern player Corentin Tolisso (71st) and Nicolás Tagliafico (78th) brought Lyon back.
Because Tolisso (89.) saw the yellow -red card, Lyon had to contest the extension in the outnumber – and first turned the game through Rayan Cherki (105.). Alexander Lacazette (110th) even increased by penalty before the miracle of Old Trafford took its course.
On the way to the Bilbao final on May 21, the Red Devils, who only take 14th place in the home league, meet in the semi-final games on May 1st and 8th on Athletic Bilbao. The Basque switched off the Glasgow Rangers after a 0-0 in the first leg in Scotland in the second leg with 2: 0 (1: 0).
