Ruben Amorim inspired his team by referencing Manchester United's iconic 1999 Champions League victory as they mounted an incredible Europa League comeback against Lyon. Leading 2-0, Amorimâs team fell to a 4-2 deficit despite Lyon playing with ten men, but rallied to win 5-4, advancing 7-6 on aggregate. Amorim noted the unique atmosphere at Old Trafford, recalling the importance of perseverance, which mirrored United's 1999 success. He expressed regret for fans who left early but maintains his squad can turn around a challenging season.
"I was watching the 1999 documentary to have some inspiration for these moments. It was a great night. The team were tired, 4-2 down with one more player, we think it's over, but here it's never over."
"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."
