Andre Onana, who has been facing criticism, could not prevent Rayan Cherki from scoring a late equalizer against Lyon after conceding an early goal, resulting in a 2-2 draw in the first leg of Manchester United's crucial quarter-final.
A heated exchange of words before the match heightened the tension ahead of the highly anticipated game for Manchester United, with Nemanja Matic expressing his strong reaction to Onana's claim that the Premier League team was superior to the French side.
Lyon's former player, in response, criticized Onana by labeling him as "one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United's history," and the goalkeeper from Cameroon failed to dispel such criticisms when he let Thiago Almada's free-kick slip past him in the first half.
Ruben Amorim's team staged an impressive comeback, appearing poised to secure a victory at Old Trafford after Leny Yoro's timely header just before half-time was followed by Zirkzee scoring in the final minutes as a substitute.
The excitement continued as Cherki reacted swiftly following Onana's save from Georges Mikautadze's powerful shot in the last minute of stoppage time, leading to exuberant celebrations at the Groupama Stadium.
