Manchester United orchestrated one of the most dramatic comebacks in European football history, defeating Olympique Lyon 5-4 after extra time at Old Trafford, securing a 7-6 aggregate victory in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.
United began assertively, with Manuel Ugarte opening the scoring in the 10th minute, followed by Diogo Dalot doubling the lead just before halftime. However, Lyon responded in the second half, with Corentin Tolisso and Nicolás Tagliafico leveling the aggregate score, pushing the match into extra time.

Despite being reduced to ten men following Tolisso's red card, Lyon surged ahead in extra time through goals from Rayan Cherki and a penalty by Alexandre Lacazette, establishing a 4-2 lead on the night and 6-4 on aggregate.
United's resilience shone through as Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty in the 114th minute, Kobbie Mainoo equalized in the 120th, and Harry Maguire headed the decisive goal in the 121st minute, completing a remarkable turnaround.
This victory propels Manchester United into the semi-finals, where they will face Athletic Bilbao, keeping their European aspirations alive. Athletic won their quarterfinal tie against Rangers with a 2-0 aggregate score. In the other semifinal, Tottenham will be up against Bodo/Glimt. Spurs beat Frankfurt while Bodo/Glimt prevailed over Lazio.
Manchester United played Athletic Bilbao twice in the Europa League Round of 16 in 2011-12 season. In that tie, the Red Devils lost 5-3 in aggregate and Bilbao ended up as eventual runners-up.
