    Right, it's almost time to go!

    What an incredible night of drama. And what an incredible week for English teams in Europe.

    Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea all have European semi-finals to come.

    It's going to be a while before the dust settles at Old Trafford.

    I'll leave the final word to Justin from Sweden.

    Night night.

    Man Utd 5-4 Lyon (agg 7-6)

    Manchester United

    Manchester United centre-back Leny Yoro, speaking to TNT Sports: "Honestly, I don't understand what's happened. It was crazy! The fans helped us to do it. When you hear the fans, even at 4-2 you know we can do it.

    "We needed to believe and if you don't believe you cannot win. This is what the fans deserve - they give everything at every game.

    "They're always here to support us, so I want to say thank you to the fans. Of course, our target is to win the trophy. I am sure we can do it. We will give everything to do it and this game shows everything until the last minute."

    Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, speaking to TNT Sports: "It was an amazing comeback. When I came on I tried to bring energy, contribute to the team, carry on the energy and feed off the other payers."

    On keeping his composure for the goal: "When the ball drops to you a yard feels like a mile, you've got to stay as calm as you can.

    "The performance wasn't up to the highest standard, but a win like that can bring so much momentum, we're rolling the snowball and it could get bigger and bigger. Hopefully we can go all the way."

    To Campo and Phil: We left at 4-2, because we've sat though so much dross for so long, and there was no hint that any goals were in this team. I'm back home still seething we threw away a two-goal lead to 10 men. This is the most flamboyant "papering over the cracks" of all time!

  8. Why do Man Utd perform better in Europe?published at 23:33 British Summer Time 17 April

    Man Utd 5-4 Lyon (agg 7-6)

    Manchester United

    More from Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim on TNT Sports: "We must recognise the context, we lack a lot of characteristics in our team, physicality is a problem.

    "When we play against European teams we can cope better with that, in Premier League we suffer a lot."

    I said last week Ruben Amorim didn't like his team, it's probably the wrong word, I don't think he enjoys watching this team. He got that excitement tonight.

    This is the Europa League, imagine the Champions League, the big games. The atmosphere, if he builds a team that can compete, it'll be twice that.

    Man Utd 5-4 Lyon (agg 7-6)

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, speaking to TNT Sports:

    "One moment can change a lot of things in the players' minds, we have to be really focused on Europa League and take risks sometimes with kids in Premier League. Fans have to understand that, we have to focus on the Europa League."

    On hopes of winning the competition:

    "Everybody in this moment believes it is possible, we need luck with injuries.

    On what he thought when Maguire score:

    "The sounds of the stadium was the best ever. Some people collect shirts, scarves, but I want to keep that sound, it's the best sound in the world.

    "I feel for the people who had to leave at 4-2 because of the traffic, they will be gutted.

    "We know we are underperforming and deserve all the critics, but we have time to make something special of this season"

    Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, speaking to TNT Sports: "I was watching the 1999 [Treble] documentary to have some inspiration for these moments. It was a great night, the team were tired, 4-2 with one more player, we think it's over, but here it's never over.

    "Here everything is possible, you feel the environment. At 4-3, after the Bruno Fernandes penalty, we felt we could change the game."

    On his substitutions: "We tried to put Harry Maguire up front because he is the only one who can score a goal with a header. Kobbie Mainoo has a lack of pace in this moment because of injury, but he's really good in short spaces."

    Andre Onana had a decent game.

    Every goal he concedes is going to be scrutinised. He is a fun loving character and he is a great bloke. It is very hard to dislike him.

    The thing you would have asked tonight is a quiet game and to go unnoticed. That's exactly what he did.

    He played his part in the victory. You could see the release of emotion from him when the [winning] goal went in.

    I've never seen anything like that as a spectator. It was an amazing thing. We saw so many fans leaving when it was 4-2 and you thought that was over.

    I said on commentary it would take more than a miracle to get back into it and now I'm actually a believer because that was outrageous.
