Andre Onana's horror show blew Manchester United's victory.
Manchester United drew 2-2 in the first leg of the Europa League (UEL) quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 season against Olympique Lyon at Groupama Stadium in Lyon, France on the 11th (Korea time).
I missed a dramatic victory in front of my eyes. Manchester United was dragged away by allowing the first goal in the game. In the 25th minute of the first half, Lyon striker Thiago Almada's kick headed to the gate. The kick flowed as it was and headed to the corner of the goal, and Onana made a mistake of not handling the bound ball properly and shook the Manchester United net as it was. United fought back and turned the game around. Rennie Yoro's equalizer was scored just before the end of the first half, and Joshua Zirkji's come-from-behind goal in the 43rd minute of the second half seemed to secure victory on the road. I didn't last the last minute. In the extra time of the second half, Mikautaje's shot in the box was blocked by Onana's good defense, but the ball was not handled properly and spilled to Rayan Cherki. Cherki pushed it back and shook Manchester United's net. Manchester United players looked despondent, and the referee immediately blew the ending whistle.

Onana lost her team's chance to win by dedicating two goals along with one mistake that led to a goal in the game. There were also two good saves in the box, but it was not enough to be considered an active performance. England's Sky Sports gave Onana four points, the lowest rating in the game, and various soccer statistics media also gave Onana the lowest score of the day and criticized her.
The British Daily Mail, along with a rating of two, pointed out that "'Manchester United's villain made two mistakes to give Lyon two goals'. England's Manchester Evening News also gave a rating of two, saying it should have been flawless, but it made a mistake. He also made an error in the extra time of the second half to prevent Manchester United from winning. Give Me Sports in England explained the reason for the lowest rating of three points in the team, saying, `I made two terrible mistakes and let my team lose.'

There was a person who predicted Onana's disappointing performance. It is Nemanja Matic, a midfielder from Manchester United. As Matic provokes, "Manchester United are a better team than Lyon" ahead of the game, "Manchester United must be careful when he tries to speak, one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United's history," he said, pointing out Onana's ability.
Afterwards, Onana again "I lifted the world's greatest club and trophy. Some people can't talk about winning"He hit back at Martic, who had no winning experience at Manchester United. However, the winner of the war of nerves is expected to be remembered as Matic, as Onana blew Manchester United's victory with the worst mistake.
