This is not one of the greatest versions of Manchester United, but they will always be remembered for a great match in the European Cup.
Man United's history has had many big matches in the Champions League under the stage lights at Old Trafford. This is not one of them but still has enough ups and downs, excitement and drama to compare with the famous clashes against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
The most important thing is that the "Red Devils" defeated Lyon to secure a place in the Europa League semi-finals. Fans who don't come to Old Trafford to watch the return match will be a pity. Played in a vibrant atmosphere from start to finish, Ruben Amorim's team easily took a 2-0 lead. However, they then let their opponents tie the score at 2-2.
The red card of midfielder Corentin Tolisso on the Lyon side during the official match gave Man United an advantage. However, the French team scored 2 goals in extra time to lead 4-2 and get closer to the final victory.
However, somehow, Man United escaped the deadlock and scored 3 goals in 7 minutes to turn the game around. Harry Maguire's header in extra time shook the entire Old Trafford. The home team's fans danced throughout the stands and the reserve players also celebrated enthusiastically.
When the final whistle blew, the cheers were so loud that they almost brought down the entire Old Trafford. The "Red Devils" won the final with an unbelievable score of 7-6 to continue.
Man United are preparing to leave their home for the past 115 years and move to a new, more modern stadium. And if we had to mention the greatest matches ever at Old Trafford, the magical night against Lyon certainly could not be missed.
"When the score was 4-2, many people thought it was the end for us. But at Old Trafford, things are never over. I watched the 1999 documentary again to find inspiration for these moments. It was truly a great night.
We took Maguire as a striker, because he was the only one who could score with his head. As for Mainoo, although he is a bit lacking in pace due to injury, he is very good at handling in tight spaces and can create moments like that goal.
We tried and this time it worked. Today is a great day," Amorim said after the win over Lyon.
