Two mistakes and a VAR awarded penalty was all Manchester United needed to book a last eight place against all odds at the Parc des Princess
Manchester United came into the game with a two goals deficit. They also knew that no club had ever come from a two goals loss at home to progress in the UEFA Champions League. But, United rewrote history tonight.
Romelu Lukaku intercepted Thilo Kehrer blind backpass, rounded Buffon in Paris Saint Germain’s goal before slotting home the visitors first goal on the 2nd minute.
Juan Bernat connected with Kylian Mbappe’s cross to restore parity for PSG. But on the 30th minute Buffon spilled Rashford’s long range shot and Lukaku fired in his second of the day.
If proceedings had ended this way, PSG would have qualified 3-2 on aggregate. But at the tail end of the match VAR awarded Manchester United a penalty, which Rashford converted to level the aggregate score 3-3 and to give United a quarter final ticket on away goals.
In tonight’s other match, FC Porto eliminated AS Roma 4-3 on aggregate after full and extra time.
