EL W Europa League Quarter-finals 2nd Leg

Manchester United 5:4 Olympique Lyonnais

Post-match discussion


Thu, 17 April 2025

It’s funny as we had a few similar crazy wins in the FA Cup last year. It’s almost as though we’re such shite bottlers we find ourselves in positions where it’s simply too embarrassing to go out so we become the anti-bottlers and pull it out the bag.
 
I can’t explain what I’ve just seen. There is no way we’ve come back to win that. We should have buried them when we had the chance and let them back in it. We were even lucky to be playing 10 men and still ballsed it up. What I will say is Lyon were going on about our arrogance before the games yet it was probably their arrogance that cost their team at 4-2.

I expect that it will be a make shift team against Wolves but we’ve got something to play for now.
 
When we scored that last goal I jumped off the couch and made a weird celebrating shout that came out like a cross between an orgasm and a heart attack. I think I'd forgotten how to celebrate and i was not in control of the sounds coming out of me. It's been so long since I had felt like that.
The wife came running in to check i was OK. I was lay on the ground with a stupid grin on my face. It was too hard to explain what I was doing there. She rolled her eyes and wandered off.

God there are some really miserable feckers on here. Moaning in the player threads five minutes after a comeback like that? I’ll never understand it.
We were dreadful

So similar to Coventry.

Absolutely cruising. Threw it away.

Fantastic come back
 
The most exciting game I’ve watched as a neutral for years, maybe ever. Enjoy it, games like this are so rare and that last 6 minutes…. Wow!
 
Nights like this we miss gif lord.
That woman in the bucket hat going metal for Bruno.
Dalot celebrating winning a goal kick so hard he fell over.
Rasmus attacking Amorim at the final whistle.
Casemiro killing Mount with happiness when he won a freekick at the end.
Matic crying.
 
What a bunch of negative ninnies we have on here, saying we were rubbish and the manager was rubbish and we have no forwards.

I was as clear as day that we would score 3 goals in the last 10 minutes.

We're Man United; we score when we want.

I never doubted it for a moment.
 
This is why I love football. I shared that moment with my 10 year old kid, and neither of us will ever forget it (no matter what happens later in the tournament).

Love it man. My eldest plays for a club and loves it, but he's yet to be too interested in watching it. Few years younger than yours though.
 
Absolute rogue one tonight. We should never in a million years be giving up that lead - however…. I do admire the teams grit and determination to get back into games.

That’s probably the only positive. We just seem to find a way in this competition and it really bodes well for the Semi.

The next couple of weeks can’t go soon enough!
 
Bruno is incredible. The team didn’t give up. We can rightfully criticize players like Dalot but he was almost in tears after that - shows the love and passion. Well done team!

Guarantee they’re the usual anti Amorim suspects too
 
Why Bruno hasn’t been awarded with a goal in player ratings section? He sort of scored a penalty
 
Great result when you see it in black & white, but a lot to unpack

1st half - amazing, mature euro performance
2nd - we shat the bed
ET - continued the theme, before a rapid turnaround

We should have sealed that in normal time. We were much the better team.. just mentally, we fall to bits as soon as we have any expectation. We almost went ahead too early for our own good.

At least we walked away with a win eventually... it felt like we'd blown it multiple times tonight.

Please let this spark something in the team, have some belief!
