Paris Saint Germain 1, Manchester United 3
Parc Des Princes, Paris
With no doubt for Ole Gunner Solksjaer this is Manchester United next manager after setting the tone today in Parc Des Princes back in Paris. Not only in league play but also in the international theaters this squad is putting on a fight.
Coming to Paris with their backs against the wall the Red Devils were not counting on a miracle but on hard work and determination to put on a spectacle courtesy of an inspired Romelu Lukaku scoring a double.
As both sides were looking at any cost the win that will enable them to advance into the next stages, today the Manu Boys came prepared for the ultimate of upsets and today these return the favor to their PSG hosts.
With a total sold out at the colossus located in the Ile- De- France, in spite the sold attendance and with the majority of PSG fans on hand. The contingent of 2,000 followers accompanying their Red Devils became very vocal in the course of the whole match.
However, for the interim man in the helm of Manu the man in every match is showing off his capability to guide his former team back into its old glory days, showing off his skills and wisdom captured from his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson.
For Romelu Lukaku showing off with a double set of scores and using his technique that has elevated this man game and reputation as a feared striker that for a while his game and skills were in a pause. Still the man came prepared to offer us an all-around spectacle and he did with such authority.
As many stated how a squad being down in the first leg and losing at home and with a 2-0 disadvantage. Coming to Paris and with the odds against them, this squad showed a lot of fight and in the end, its perseverance showed off by advancing to the next stages.
To defeat a squad of the likes of PSG is somehow not an easy feat, with a start studded roster and one of the most dangerous attacks in Europe, today the likes of Neymar being sidelined in the DL.
For manager Thomas Tuechel sending his best initial eleven pound per pound complete and with a lead to brag about, and with ninety minutes left to consume the feat Les Rouges et Bleu were to deliver a blow to the English sided.
For both squads not having their prime players in the field with Neymar in the DL and a suspended Paul Pogba, this match had all the elements in favor of the Parisian squad in need to deliver the final blow at home.
Nonetheless, the stats favored heavily the locals, this was to be the Red Devils crowning point and with today’s win, these are set to go all the way to the grand finale of Champions League as today’s feat will be recorded as one amazing one.
With Romelu Lukaku scores in the 2’ and 30’ minutes and crowned with the game winning goal in the 90+4 scored via a penalty by Marcus Rashford to leave the final score at 3-3 and giving United the edge on away goals to advance.
Now they are back to the final eight, thanks to the awakening in its fighting spirit and competition once dormant and now touted as one of the heavy favorites to win it all in this edition of Champions League.
