A picture is worth a thousand words about MU's crazy comeback

The image of a young fan encapsulates the emotions of those who love MU in the second leg of the quarter-finals at Old Trafford this season.

On a night when all the rules of football seemed to be broken, MU wrote one of the craziest pages in the history of the European arena. Trailing by 2 goals in the 109th minute, facing the prospect of being eliminated by a Lyon team with only 10 men, the "Red Devils" suddenly rose stronger than ever.

At Old Trafford, the image that captured the most crazy emotions of the match was when a young MU fan burst into tears in the stands because he thought his team was about to be eliminated. A few minutes later, that same face broke out in immense joy when Harry Maguire scored a historic goal.

The Red Devils even became the first club in European football history to score two goals in the 120th minute of a major match. MU also reached the milestone of scoring 5,000 goals at Old Trafford with Bruno Fernandes' goal to reduce the score to 5-6.

Sir Alex Ferguson sat in the stands and witnessed one of the most incredible comebacks at the Theatre of Dreams. MU was down 4-2 to Lyon in extra time, but ended the match with a 7-6 victory.

In the 109th minute, MU was on the verge of elimination after losing 4-6 on aggregate to 10-man Lyon after 2 legs. But just 11 minutes later, in the 120+1 minute, they took a 7-6 lead. That unlikely hero was Maguire - the most ridiculed and scorned player in the club's history.

MU may not have played well or convincingly, but they created a match with endless emotions against Lyon.

The match was not for the faint-hearted. From disappointment to madness, from boos to salvation, from devastation to glory, MU turned 120 minutes at Old Trafford into a complete symphony of emotion, history and character.

Perhaps this season, coach Ruben Amorim and his team have disappointed fans many times. However, on a magical night at Old Trafford, they evoked the image of a team that never surrenders, of an indomitable "Red Devil" spirit in the past.

No one knows how far United will go in the Europa League, and the championship is by no means guaranteed. But if anything is certain, the performance against Lyon is a part of history. And in that history, Maguire, who was once ridiculed, has his own moment of a lifetime.

2 goals of MU in the draw with Lyon Leny Yoro and Zirkzee scored in the match MU drew 2-2 with Lyon in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals in the early morning of April 11.
