Olympique Lyonnais 1 - 1 Manchester United

Great comeback, proud of our lads' fighting spirit to grab back our very deserved equalizer in the 87th minute, after Karim Benzema struck a really sweet snap grounder to power Lyon ahead early in the 2nd half.

Kudos to our boys' last minute goal, after Nani delivered an awesome cross for Rooney(?) to meet the cross, leaving Tevez free to volley home.

Could have been a victory for us, but we'll take our precious away goal and look forward to 3rd March for our return battle at Old Trafford. Looking forward to Roma'nize Lyon!

A tired good night!

Ole! Fell asleep so I missed the match! LOL

Will definitely wake up to watch the return match at OT. I suggest we don't Roman'nize Lyon but leave that kind of form for the Final.

Wouldn't want them to peak too early (because it's not fun what comes after the peak)

Idea ... sigh, still have the roma'ntic notion that United can whack 7-1 all the time.

But have to admit: scoring 2 last-minute injury-time goals to win 2-1 creates unforgettable memories :D
