Even in the history of this football club, forged on dramatic late victories, this was something else.
In such a dominant position, even this emotionally fragile team could not mess this one up. Captain fantastic Bruno Fernandes was pulling the strings in midfield, a normally brittle backline was standing firm, while even Andre Onana looked unflappable.
Even Bruno Fernandes’ spot kick down the other end still felt in vain. A Kobbie Mainoo swivel and finish and a 121st minute winner from that famous Harry Maguire cranium sent Old Trafford into delirium.

Despite the club’s cash-strapped attempt to get pulses racing with their limp pyrotechnics show, the atmosphere inside a desperate Old Trafford was electric. With their team firmly marooned on a bar stool in the last chance saloon, they had to bring the noise.
With Onana back in the side, nobody could completely relax. The United stopper is no shrinking violet, however, even with the pressure on him following two glaring errors in the first leg, with the Cameroonian dancing in front of Lyon’s vocal traveling supporters as Ugarte’s finish hit the net, in response to their jibes over last week’s bizarre spat with Nemanja Matic.
Garnacho really should have killed the game off early in the second half, doing all the hard work before firing too close to Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri, and as the minutes ticked on with only a two-goal cushion, the jitters reared their ugly heads.
Tolisso’s late dismissal swung this thrilling tie back in United’s favour, but a winner in normal time was not forthcoming.
What a night. What a enigma wrapped in a mystery of a football club.
