Manchester United produced a historic Europa League quarter-final comeback against Lyon, overturning a late deficit with three goals in the final minutes of extra time to win 7-6 on aggregate and secure a spot in the semifinals. The match, which featured five goals after extra-time—a first in major European football history—was filled with dramatic swings, including a red card for Lyon's Corentin Tolisso and an electrifying atmosphere at Old Trafford. Key contributions came from Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, and Harry Maguire, whose late goals ignited jubilant celebrations among players and fans. Despite the thrilling victory, analysts cautioned that United will need greater consistency to progress further in the competition, particularly against their upcoming opponents, Athletic Club.

The result keeps United's season alive, providing a memorable moment for supporters and underlining the club's enduring ability to deliver drama on the European stage.
