Lukaku scored twice, MU made a miraculous comeback against PSG

Sports 247 – Miraculous or unbelievable, those could be the words that Man Utd fans use to talk about the ‘Red Devils’ comeback against PSG in the 1/8 round of the Champions League.

Man Utd created one of their most emotional matches from the beginning of the season until now.

Pogba received a red card from the previous match, the squad had dozens of injuries, Solskjaer only had a patchwork squad to come to magnificent Paris.

PSG people are confident, one country’s newspaper even confirmed before the match that PSG held 95% of the tickets to the quarterfinals.

The other day, no one thought Ajax beat Real Madrid 4-1.

While the audience at Princes Park had not yet had time to warm up, MU had already scored the opening goal.

Conceding an early goal, PSG pushed up the offensive line to press MU.

With the equalizing goal, PSG actively controlled the ball and slowed down the pace of the match.

Entering the second half, PSG were still in control of the match, but MU still persisted with their stalking style of play, waiting for a chance to counterattack.
