In a match filled with pure chaos, United found themselves trailing 6-4 to Lyon in extra time.

United's remarkable recovery culminated in a 7-6 aggregate victory that few could have predicted when they were two goals down.
The comeback will go down as one of the most memorable European nights at the Theatre of Dreams.
Kobbie Mainoo proved to be the catalyst for United's remarkable turnaround with a brilliant equaliser.
The young midfielder curled the ball into the bottom corner from inside the box with exquisite technique.
His goal came just moments after Lyon had been left reeling from United's previous strike.
The equaliser shifted the momentum entirely in United's favour with fans, who had left after Lyon's second extra-time goal, pouring back into the stadium.

It came after a bonkers start to extra-time, that saw 10-men Lyon score twice before Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty moments later.
With the momentum firmly in United's favour, Harry Maguire delivered the decisive blow to complete the remarkable comeback.
Casemiro picked up the ball and swung it into the box with precision.
Maguire, who had pushed forward from his defensive position, rose highest in the area.

The England defender nudged Niakhate out of the way before powering a perfect header into the corner of the net.
His header gave United an extraordinary 7-6 lead on aggregate with Old Trafford being sent into absolute delirium.
While it will be a night that will live long in the memory of United fans watching in the ground and around the world, Ruben Amorim will not be happy with the manner of their victory.
United had been two goals up after the first half following a 2-2 draw in Lyon last week and looked in control of the tie.

However, the French side mounted an incredible comeback with goals from Corentin Tolisso and Alexandre Lacazette to force the match to extra-time, though Tolisso was sent off just seconds before the whistle for a second yellow.
Remarkably, the one-man deficit seemed to spur Lyon on as they came flying out of the traps in extra-time with Rayan Cherki netting a brilliant strike.
Matters went from bad to worse as Luke Shaw conceded a penalty which Lacazette converted, prompting fans to leave Old Trafford with United two goals down in extra-time.
But it was time for United's comeback, with Casemiro being fouled in the box moments later which led to a lengthy VAR check before Fernandes converted from the spot.
Mainoo's equaliser and Maguire's winner with minutes of each other capped off a special European night for the Red Devils, who are desperate to win the competition.
