A Bumpy Night in Lyon: Player Ratings!…
Ah, a delightful tapestry of bumbles and brilliance unraveled in the land of croissants, as Manchester United drew 2-2 with Lyon! Imagine Andre Onana as a magician who accidentally pulls a rabbit out of his hat and then throws the hat into the sea. His mythical misjudgment allowed Thiago Almada’s cross to hop, skip, and leap into the net like a mischievous frog. But fear not, young Leny Yoro donned his knight’s helmet and leveled the battlefield with a daring header before halftime!
The second half erupted with drama fit for a soap opera, Joshua Zirkzee played the hero by nodding home what looked like the final crescendo, only for Rayan Cherki to swoop in during the dying embers, courtesy of another Onana moment that belonged in a blooper reel. It was chaos at the Groupama Stadium as player ratings soared and plummeted like a roller-coaster ride! Onana’s score dipped like a surprised seagull at just 2, while valiant Noussair Mazraoui stood tall with a majestic 8.
In this carnival of chances and calamities, the Man United crew put on a show as Roberto Mancini’s hair gel — slick, smooth, but sometimes slipping on the big occasion! With Maguire’s miscontrol as comedic as a banana peel slip and Hojlund’s missed opportunities as common as missed buses, this was truly a spectacle for the ages. Managerial choices were under the microscope, Hojlund’s conversion antics notwithstanding, but in the end, they left us giggling and gasping in equal measure!
