For the first time in over 17 years, Lyon and Manchester United clash on the European stage in a thrilling UEFA Europa League quarter-final battle.
Lyon advanced impressively after defeating FCSB with a 7–1 aggregate score. Moreover, they overcame a challenging match against Lille in Ligue 1, which has boosted their confidence heading into this contest.
Les Gones have encountered Barcelona on eight previous occasions without a victory in Europe. In addition, they have struggled against English opposition, having lost their three most recent two-legged ties in that region.
Furthermore, breaking this trend would secure Lyon a spot in their first UEFA Europa League semi-final in eight years. Their strong home form, characterized by only a few setbacks in recent European outings, adds another layer of optimism.
Manchester United sees the Europa League as their sole route to success this season. Consequently, coach Ruben Amorim is eager to see his players demonstrate renewed energy, especially following their 0–0 draw with Manchester City.
In continental competitions, Manchester United has shown remarkable resilience. They remain unbeaten in European fixtures this season after overcoming Real Sociedad to reach a record-setting 28th quarter-final.
Moreover, United boasts an impressive record in the opening legs of major knockout ties. Their recent away performances have consistently resulted in balanced outcomes, which should further encourage their traveling supporters.
Key players add extra sparkle to this high-profile encounter. For Lyon, Rayan Cherki has played a pivotal role by contributing significantly to the team’s goals, while for Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes has delivered exceptional performances, including a memorable hat-trick against Real Sociedad.
An interesting statistic reveals that most of Lyon’s recent home games against English clubs have ended in evenly matched contests, which could make this quarter-final even more intriguing.
