On Thursday, April 17, 2025, Manchester United pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in football history to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The record Premier League champions overturned a two-goal deficit to win 5–4 on the night, sealing a remarkable victory.
However, with United trailing 4–2 and just minutes remaining, many frustrated fans began heading for the exits.
As the Red Devils staged a dramatic late comeback, those fans were left watching the spectacle unfold on televisions outside the stadium.
In a wild, back-and-forth thriller, United had earlier squandered a two-goal lead and somehow found themselves trailing 4–2, despite Lyon being reduced to 10 men.
But the drama was far from over. A late surge, capped by Harry Maguire’s towering header, sent Old Trafford into absolute frenzy.
The win booked a Europa League semi-final clash with Athletic Club, keeping United’s hopes of silverware and Champions League qualification alive.
Above all, it delivered a night that will live long in the memory of every Manchester United fan fortunate enough to witness it.
