After the extraordinary 5-4 victory of Manchester United against Olympique Lyonnais in the quarterfinals return from the Europa League, the British press welcomes the feat of the Red Devils, without forgetting to note that the confrontation could have been folded much earlier.
The feathers of the English press do not come back. “The theater of dreams has been the the scene of amazing script over the years, but it has rarely witnessed such a situation,” notes The Sun in reference to Old Trafford. The incredible 5-4 victory of Manchester United against Olympique Lyonnais in overtime in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, when there were two goals to go up to ten minutes from the end, bluff all observers. An “extraordinary” performance from Sky Sports point of view. “The most remarkable comeback” for the BBC.
“The inaugural tifo of Old Trafford, which adorned the Sir Alex Ferguson gallery, was entitled” Never Gonna Stop “(” never stop “). Even the worst team of Manchester United for 51 years has not stopped. It has concocted one of the best evenings of this big club. As for improbability and daring Barcelona 1999 “, estimates the Manchester Evening Newsfar from being the only media to make this comparison with the memorable Champions League final won by the Red Devils against Bayern Munich. Ole Gunnar Solskjær (90th+3) had torn off the trophy with 90+1st and 90+3rd.
Rio Ferdinand has “never seen anything like it”
“Add this to the stories that will be transmitted from generation to generation, written Sky Sports. We are not in 1999, neither at Camp Nou, nor even in the Champions League. But even this victory is a first. It was the first match in European football history to have five goals in overtime “.
“I have never seen anything as a spectator,” confirms Rio Ferdinand, an emblematic defender of the Red Devils, now a consultant for TNT Sports. “We have seen so many supporters go to 4-2. I said that it would take more than a miracle to get out of it and now I am a believer. It was shocking.”
“There is no time when you can trust United”
“This evening was announced like the worst of Amorim with United,” continues the Manchester Evening News. From the second goal of United, it seemed to be mistaken in all important decisions. He was neither proactive nor reactive in his changes. The most enthusiastic Portuguese on the sidelines was Paulo Fonseca, rejected by Tottenham four years ago. Make his best performance of the season.
“The monumental end of this meeting has proven that United players are ready to fight. They have character to resell, they inherited the DNA of the club, which never wants to die, and they are ready to give everything for the cause,” greet the BBC.
With a downside all the same: “The negative points do not disappear. They keep collecting mediocre goals, which often succeed in the space of a few minutes. They do not seize their chances. If Alejandro Garnacho or Patrick Dorgu had done it in the second period, while the score was 2-0, there would not have been this endless, chaotic match. Capable of undermining any improvement, at any time.
“When will this club stop putting its supporters to the test? When will he stop producing completely crazy football matches like this?” Asks the Daily Mail With its usual creaky tone. Before all the same to refocus on the essentials of the evening: “United seemed dead and buried. But no. This team never stops, remember”.
