After a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Man United had to win to advance. Ugarte and Dalot soon gave the Old Trafford team a 2-0 lead, but Lyon surprisingly led 4-2 in extra time. However, Fernandes, Mainoo and Maguire scored in turn, helping the "Red Devils" make a spectacular comeback 5-4.
After the match, information about two Man United players being forced to leave the pitch at half-time for personal reasons emerged. According to Daily Mail journalist Chris Wheeler, sharing on social media: "Noussair Mazraoui and Victor Lindelof both had to leave Old Trafford at half-time due to urgent family matters, which were said to be completely unrelated to the match."
In last night's match, Luke Shaw replaced Mazraoui at the beginning of the second half, while Lindelof did not return to the bench in the second half.

Speaking after the match, coach Ruben Amorim explained that both were forced to leave the field to deal with personal issues: "We had a problem with Noussa during the break. Vic had personal issues and was forced to leave."
Looking back at the crazy game at Old Trafford, Amorim added: "At 4-2 up with a man advantage, everyone thought the game was over. But here, things never end early. I watched the documentary about the 1999 season for inspiration for moments like this - and it was a great night."
The dramatic win puts Manchester United through to the semi-finals, where they will face Athletic Club, who eliminated Rangers. In the other semi-final bracket, fellow Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur will face Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt for a place in the final.
