After leading 4 to 2 in the extension, ten against eleven, OL was overthrown by Manchester United (5-4) in Old Trafford on Thursday evening, being eliminated at the gates of the Europa League semi-finals. What upset Rio Ferdinand, who now believes in miracles.
Rio Ferdinand has experienced European evenings, but this Manchester United-Ol will be a date. First led 2-0 to Old Trafford, Lyon managed to take the lead in the overtime, ten against eleven, to have an advantage of two goals (4-2) in the 109th minute. But the Red Devils managed to win (5-4), with a last goal signed Harry Maguire (120+1st).
“I have never seen anything like it as a spectator,” said Rio Ferdinand at the microphone of TNT Sports, where he officiates as a consultant. “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.”
Amorim: “That's why we love this sport so much”
Present on set with his former teammate, Paul Scholes also had trouble qualifying what he had just seen. “We have seen exceptional things happen in this club,” said the midfielder. “I think back to the goal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against Liverpool. It reminded me a little. I know it was only 2-1 and there, it's 5-4!”
Red Devils coach since last November, Ruben Amorim can always dream of a title in the Europa League, which would be synonymous with qualification for the next Champions League. “In this stadium, in this club, we always have the feeling that anything can happen. Today, it was still the case,” said the Portuguese technician. “This is why we love this sport so much. All the frustration that the coach experiences in this kind of season, frustration, bad times … When you have moments like that, it's worth it.”
