This evening, fans of Manchester United will probably remember for a long time. Against Olympique Lyon, the “Red Devils” experience a roller coaster of feelings.
The Old Trafford, the Manchester United stadium, lived up to its nickname “Theater of Dreams” (Theater der Dreams) on Thursday evening. In a crazy football game, Manchester United prevailed 5: 4 after extra time in the Europa League quarter-finals against Olympique Lyon.
At halftime in the regular season, Manchester United had led 2-0, but received two goals until the 90th minute. So it went into the extension, since the first leg 2: 2 had also started. After 110 minutes it was 2: 4 from Manchester’s point of view, around ten minutes later 5: 4. The Old Trafford literally exploded when Harry Maguire scored the winning goal in the first minute of injury time.
In the next round, Manchester United meets Athletic Bilbao from Spain. The other semi-finals contest Frankfurt-constricts Tottenham Hotspur (England) and outsider FK Bodö/Glimt from Norway.
