In the Europa League quarter-finals, Manchester United mounted a dramatic comeback against Lyon to win 5-4 after extra time, overturning a 4-2 deficit. United's manager, Ruben Amorim, drew inspiration from the 1999 Champions League victory, as they now stand three games away from a European trophy and a guaranteed spot in the Champions League next season. The game saw five goals scored after extra time, making it the first in major European football history, with United's Harry Maguire scoring the first 120th-minute winning goal in Europa League history. Despite the disappointing season, Amorim expressed hope for a special finish. Maguire agreed, praising the Old Trafford atmosphere that helped spur the comeback.
