A young supporter of Manchester United was filmed before and after the decisive goals of Mainoo and Maguire against Olympique Lyonnais in overtime in the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
This evening of April 17, 2025 will remain a great moment for any supporter of Manchester United. It is undoubtedly even more special for the youngest of them, who chain the disillusions on the European scene without being able to hang on to the memories of the epics who made the glory of the club. Perhaps this is the case of this boy filmed a few minutes apart in the stands of Old Trafford, during this stunning 5-4 victory of the Red Devils against Olympique Lyonnais in the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
On the verge of tears
Having become viral on social networks, the reactions of this boy perfectly illustrate the emotional elevator experienced by Mancunian fans.
His first appearance on television images around the world took place in the 118th minute. Even if Bruno Fernandes had just gave hope to Manchester United with a penalty in the 114th minute, shortly after the Lyonnais goals from Rayan Cherki (105th) and Alexandre Lacazette (110th) in numerical inferiority, the young supporter no longer believed. At the same time sad, frustrated, angry.
A little over three minutes later, his face was completely different. After the decisive goal signed Harry Maguire in the additional time of the extension, the TV production of the match again lingered on the boy. Who was this time with angels, with an immense smile, like all the rest of the public around him.
“In this stadium, in this club, we always have the feeling that anything can happen,” said Ruben Amorim, Manchester United coach, after the final whistle. “This is why we love this sport so much. (…) I think that this type of moments can help players in this kind of season, in this kind of context. It can create a link between supporters and players.” In any case, this team has created memories for life in this boy.
