When ex-Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette stepped up to score his penalty in extra time to give the French outfit a two-goal cushion, many rushed back into the stadium or were forced to watch the game outside the Theatre of Dreams.
When captain Bruno Fernandes then netted United's third on the night, many rushed back into the stadium or were forced to watch the game outside the Theatre of Dreams. And the stadium was left in pandemonium when Kobbie Main Have a listen to this." Despite being unable to feature in Thursday's clash, Zirkzee had climbed off the bench in the first leg to score an apparent winner in France as he guided a header home late on before an inexplicable Andre Onana mistake.Mainoo, with whom Zirkzee seems to have forged a close bond during their time together, brought the 23-year-old's signature move to life after his late equaliser.
With the academy graduate, who turns 20 on Saturday, and Maguire both scoring in injury time, they saw the game break two records.The first marked the first time five goals have been scored in extra time of a major European competition, and the second made United the first team ever to score two goals in the 120th minute of a major European match.Amorim told TNT Sports after the game he had watched some of the 99 documentary for inspiration before labelling the unbelievable match a "great night".
I was watching the 1999 documentary again to get some inspiration for these moments," he stated. It was a great night – 4-2. You might think it's over with one more player, but here it never is. I felt here everything is possible." However, the 40-year-old also had a harsh reality check for his squad after admitting they need to focus on Europa League.He said, "The reflection of the coach is the league. You can be good in European games but your reflection as a team is in the league and we are underperforming, but then we have to see the context.
" We lack a lot of characteristics in our team – sometimes you want to push forward and you see that Garnacho is really tired but he's the only one who can make transitions." Physically, it is a problem. You can see that we handle that better when we play European teams; in the Premier League, we suffer a lot." He continued, "It is one type of moment that can change a lot of things. These kinds of moments can change a lot in the players' minds." We have to be really focused on the Europa League and we have to take a risk with the kids in the Premier League." We have to be tough on that, and the fans have to know that the Europa League is our primary goal.
The competition's semi-finals will be played against Athletic Bilbao on May 1 and May 8, with the latter match taking place once more at home. However, the last time Man Utd defeated the Spanish team was in February 1957, and Sir Alex Ferguson suffered two defeats against them in 2012. Before that, Wolves will play Man Utd at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The visitors haven't lost in the league since February, including four straight victories. Wolves haven't beaten the 20-time English champions twice since 1979/80, but Vitor Pereira's team has a chance to make history after beating them 2-0 at Molineux earlier this season.
