The Europa League quarterfinal return match between Olympique Lyonnais and Manchester United at Old Trafford offered an emotionally challenging show for Lyon fans, who were offered a true roller coaster of hope and disillusionment. The team, aligned with a composition similar to that of the all-round match, was initially put in difficulty in the face of a determined Mencunian formation, causing the frustration of the faithful. A first tactical reorganization, with the entry of Tesseman and Lacazette, allowed to reverse the situation with a goal of Corentin Tolisso, generating general enthusiasm and hope for a qualification.

Despite the equalization of Tagliafico and the overtime goals of Rayan Cherki and Alexandre Lacazette, who briefly put OL in the lead, the European dream suddenly collapsed when Manchester United equalized and then took the lead, sealing the OL elimination on the 4-5 score. This cruel defeat caused a deep sadness within the team and supporters, even though Corentin Tolisso, visibly shot down, wanted to express his gratitude to the fans.

The atmosphere of desolation did not prevent the emotion of being palpable, with Corentin Tolisso communicating with his father in a forum of honor during the extension, testifying to the deep attachment that unites the players with their club and their supporters. Despite the pain of elimination, OL enjoyed the highlights of this exceptional evening, marked by the passion and fervor of the fans, who sang and encouraged their team to the end.
