Lyon Sees Red in Europa Circus!…

In a magical football universe where cards fly like confetti, Manchester United got a surprise gift wrapped in a shiny red card! Lyon’s maestro, Corentin Tolisso, was sent off for what looked like an accidental tango with Manchester’s Leny Yoro. The legendary footy commentators, Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Savage, were left scratching their heads like two bewildered meerkats at a lion’s birthday party. “I think he’s just unlucky,” mused Savage, probably wondering if he should order Tolisso an ice cream for consolation. Ferdinand chimed in, “Harsh, very harsh!” Perhaps he meant the kind that’s a tad spicy for breakfast cereal.

Just when the Red Devils were gliding like they’re on a sunny holiday, leading 2-0, suddenly their defense turned into a game of Twister at a toddler’s birthday bash. Lyon’s heroic charge launched them back into action with Tolisso’s wonder shot and Tagliafico’s rocket bypassing Onana with the precision of a paper airplane in the wind. United’s half-time joy crumbled faster than a cookie in a washing machine, paving the way to extra time excitement.

Meanwhile, the scriptwriters for this drama have set up a date with destiny: the winner will waltz into a clash with Athletic Bilbao, the goliaths reigning supreme with a 2-0 triumph over Rangers.
