United Meet Lyon in a Quest for Glory (and Laughter)…
Manchester United are set to tango with Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals, oh là là ! After a thriller night that saw them spank Real Sociedad 4-1 and bag a 5-2 aggregate victory, the Red Devils march ahead into Europe’s bronze medal competition.
Meanwhile, Lyon also put on quite the show, bamboozling FCSB with a 7-1 aggregate blowout. Their victory was sealed with a neat 4-0 French soirée. So, the stage is set for some French-English drama, with Manchester readying to host Lyon on April 10 and then visiting France on April 17 for part two of this comedic football series.
In a season that’s been gloomier than an English winter, United’s Europa escapades are a ray of hope—or maybe just a distraction. Stuck at 14th place in the Premier League, with their domestic cup dreams dashed to pieces, United’s Europa League adventures are keeping fans from reaching for the remote control. They remain the untouchables of the Europa League this season, unbeaten and still chuckling their way to what they hope is silverware. Next up, they face Leicester City, with the possibility of slipping down the table like a soggy biscuit.
