Manchester United succeeded in advancing to the semifinals of the Europa League by producing a historic match. Manchester United won the second round of the Europa League quarterfinals against Olympique Lyon (France) in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on the 18th (Korean time) after 120 minutes of bloodshed. Manchester United, which drew 2-2 in the first away game, passed the quarterfinals gate with a total of 7-6 in the first and second games.
It was a twist again. An incredible cartoon-like story was written on the ground. Manchester United led 2-0 in the 10th minute with consecutive goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot in the 46th minute. I've got my head in the air.
But Lyon's hindsight was terrifying. Lyon turned the game to square one in the 26th minute of the second half with Korantin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico scoring the goal in the 32nd minute. 2–2, eventually, the game led to extra time.
But Lyon had bad news. Tolisso was sent off in the 44th minute of the second half with a warning in the second inning. Manchester United, which had a numerical advantage, seemed to have an absolute opportunity in overtime.
But Lyon got the wind right. Rayan Sherki scored back-to-back goals in the 14th minute of extra time and Alexandre Lacazette in the 4th minute of extra time. The time left was about 10 minutes. In fact, the weight of the match leans towards Lyon.
However, it was only the prelude to the "Dream Theater". Manchester United's great turnaround began in the 9th minute of extra time with Bruno Fernandes' penalty recovery goal. In the 15th minute of the second half of extra time, Kobe Mainu and Harry Maguire scored the header winning goal a minute later to complete the theater victory.

Manchester United acquired Maguire for 80 million pounds (about 151 billion won), the highest transfer fee ever for a defender in 2019. It wasn't a bad start, with an early appointment as captain, but a decisive mistake hampered him.
Maguire was pushed to the back-up after coach Erik ten Hach took the helm in 2022. The captaincy was also deprived. Maguire is on the verge of a move to West Ham in the summer of 2023. However, all kinds of humiliation also chose to try again at Manchester United.
He played only 16 games in the EPL in his first season under coach Ten Hach. His playing time was 759 minutes. Last season, he played 22 games in the EPL. He recorded 1650 minutes of playing time.

Maguire's contract with Manchester United was set to end this summer. Manchester United launched a one-year extension in January. Manager Amorim said at the time, `We know the situation Maguire went through here. But now that we desperately need him, we are pleased to exercise the option to extend our contract."
Maguire is the hero of the human reversal. He gave fans unforgettable memories with the goal.
