Overtime makes two chase three! Manchester United's script, don't guess

The reporter reported coldly Even for Manchester United, who is familiar with countless crazy plots including various reversals and reversals, this can be called one of the "most abstract" scripts in team history! The home team led 2-0 in the first half, and the second half was suddenly dramatic, with the visitors Lyon equalizing the aggregate score with two goals and two goals, and the extra-time feature film began - Lyon, who played one less, scored two more goals to take the lead, but Manchester United scored three goals in the last seven minutes of extra time (two goals in the last 87 seconds) to complete the comeback...... Such an incredible lore script, just talking about the ups and downs of the plot, even the "Camp Nou Miracle" in the 1999 Champions League final is ashamed.

The 1-4 defeat to Newcastle was in front of Manchester United's "battle for corruption" with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and the Europa League has long been the only straw for Manchester United. Despite two errors in the first leg by Onana to concede three points, Amorim continued to return to the starting line-up with at least the more experienced Cameroonian after seeing Baindel's debut.

The Reds got off to a smooth start to the first half, with Garnacho breaking the deadlock in the opening 10 minutes with a clever pass from midfielder Ugarte, and fans might not have experienced the thrill of a comeback had it not been for Lyon goalkeeper Perry who single-handedly blocked Casemiro's crotch-piercing shot and Fernandes hit the crossbar with a volley. With one minute of stoppage time in the first half, Maguire guided precisely at the back, and Diogo Dalot extended the score to 2-0, leading 4-2 on aggregate over two legs, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before he reached the last four.

However, the lack of a young man in the Red Devils defence allowed United fans to experience a reversal in free fall in the second half and extra time.

In the second half, Lyon made three substitutions in a row, Tolisso scored with a header in the 71st minute, and Tagliafico equalized in the 78th minute. In the 89th minute, Tolisso was sent off for a second yellow card, and Manchester United fans could have breathed a sigh of relief before extra-time, but Manchester United, who did not admit to playing one more man, conceded two goals in five minutes of extra time: in the 105th minute, Cherki scored with Diogo Dalot "through the crotch", and then substitute Luke Shaw tripped Fofana in the penalty area, Lacazze scored twice from the penalty, and the visiting Lyon fell behind 0-2 to chase four goals in a row.

From a 2-0 lead in the first half to a 4-2 deficit with 11 minutes of extra-time, the crowd waiting for a new 'Red Devils joke' seems to be looking forward to a disastrous season for Manchester United, which ended with a disastrous Europa League reversal. But whether it was the tenacity and enthusiasm of the past, or the abstraction and madness of the present, Manchester United has always been the face of the "unexpected" body.

In the 114th minute, Manchester United's Jedi counterattack began: Almada fouled Casemiro in the penalty area, and B Fei scored a penalty after VAR intervened; In the 120th minute, Casemiro assisted Mainou, who came off the bench as a false No. 9, equalized 1; Casemiro scored a brace with an assist 87 seconds later, and Maguire's header in front of him completed the stunner! Casemiro and Maguire, two veterans of the defensive line who have experienced ups and downs in the Theater of Dreams, use this interpretation to interpret Manchester United's "unpredictability".

Maguire's goal was the first 120-minute winner in Europa League history, and it was also the first 120-minute winner in a major European match since Atletico Madrid beat Liverpool 3-2 in extra-time at Anfield in March 2020 in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. Manchester United, meanwhile, became the first team to score twice after 120 minutes in European competition. Manchester United remain unbeaten in the Europa League this season, taking their total to 12 games.

After the game, Paul Scholes and other Manchester United celebrities, as well as the British media praised Amorim for his passion and immediate on-the-spot adaptability, replacing center forward Hoylen as a false No. 9, Amorim let central defender Maguire play as a central striker after the break in extra time, and Casemiro, Mainou and Mount's tactics closer to the penalty area have all worked wonders.

Amorim said that before the game, he rewatched the three-episode documentary "99" produced by Amazon Prime Video, the theme of which is about the 1999 Champions League final Manchester United "Camp Nou miracle", hoping to inspire the team to never give up - in the 1999 Champions League final, Manchester United scored two goals in two minutes of regular season stoppage time, but this time it was let two chase four and then chase three, and scored two goals in the last 87 seconds, the Red Devils chose a more adrenaline-pumping way to advance to the Europa League semi-finals.

After giving fans an upgraded rollercoaster, Manchester United are second in odds to win the title behind Athletic Bilbao and face the Basque Lions in the semi-finals. In the 2011/12 Europa League 1/8 final, Manchester United was beaten out by Athletic Bilbao, and this is the best chance for revenge. The Red Devils, who are ranked the lowest in the history of the Premier League, continue to have the chance to win the Europa League and enter next season's Champions League with more than 85 million pounds in prize money.

Oh yes, the other semi-final opponent in the Europa League is Tottenham, who beat Eintracht Frankfurt to advance to the semi-finals, and the Norwegian dark horse Bode Shine, who eliminated Serie A powerhouse Lazio on penalties - the two Premier League giants who are "fighting" in the league may really stage the ultimate showdown in the Europa League.
