In an electrifying clash at Old Trafford, Harry Maguire delivered a last-second stunner that sent Manchester United into the Europa League semis with an incredible 7-6 aggregate win over Olympique Lyonnais! ⚽
The match was a rollercoaster ride from the first whistle. United grabbed an early lead with goals by Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot, only for Lyon to push back fiercely with strikes from Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico, leveling the game. Just as the tension peaked, Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo re-energized the action with vital efforts before Maguire stepped up in extra time to seal the win—marking a historic moment as United became the first team to score two goals in the 120th minute of a major European match.
Maguire later described the emotion of his decisive goal during his TNT Sport interview, calling it an "amazing feeling" that turned the tide in a match full of twists. This dramatic victory, especially significant at a home ground known for its fierce atmosphere, offers fresh hope for United as they now set sights on a showdown with Athletic Bilbao. From the bustling streets of Mumbai to the vibrant cities of Manila, fans across South and Southeast Asia are buzzing with excitement over this epic sporting moment! 🙌
