Goalie Gaffes and Late Lamentations…
Oh boy, oh boy, it’s a corker at the Groupama Stadium! Joshua Zirkzee, Manchester United’s forward and part-time philosopher, was left feeling like a cat drenched in rain after Lyon’s stormy equalizer. It was a day to forget for Andre Onana, who was caught napping not once, but twice – first as if glued to the spot by a hair-brained free-kick, and again when Rayan Cherki sneaked in like a ninja to prod home the scrappy equalizer. Zirkzee’s match-winner dreams were left in tatters with Lyon’s late show leaving everyone redder than Manchester’s kits.
Next up, it’s destination Old Trafford where those Mancunians will try again to outfox the tricky Lyon squad in the Europa League. Zirkzee, wise like a footballing owl, shrugged it off, saying “It is what it is,” while contemplating the unfairness of it all like a Yoda in cleats. United were hoping for a cheeky 2-1 getaway win, only to come back with a 2-2 scoreline that hurts like stepping on Lego.
With their eyes set on the return leg, Zirkzee’s clear advice rings out like a referee’s whistle: “Just win, baby.” Reminiscent of an epic clash with Sociedad, Manchester’s footie warriors might just pull off a repeat show on home turf. Let’s hope they’ll be coming out not just with balls but fireworks, aiming to bamboozle the Lyonnais with moves smoother than butter on hot toast!
