For me last night ranks above Moscow 2008 and behind Nou Camp 1999. It's might only have been a last 16 encounter but in the context of the last 6 years and the last 6 months...

The penalty decision was harsh but correct. Ironic it was Kimpembe who got pinged, him having scored in the 1st leg when he should have been off.

If Ole doesn't get the job now, there will be riots. A key factor of his success is having Phelan, Carrick and McKenna all putting their heads together and working as a collective. It only works with the right personalities who don't have egos.

Seeing DiMaria's reptilian mug at the final whistle was a Mastercard moment.

Even if United had won 2-1 (and gone out of CL), it would still have been seen as a good night for Solskjaer.

Now that was a finish.  4 English teams in last 16.  Who would you like a crack at?

Can't profess to love PSG too much, great win for United.

But to call that a penalty? In the last minute, of the biggest competition in the World?

Outrageous - Shambolic decision. PSG have been done here.....but will find sympathy in short supply one suspects.

True, hard to feel worry for them, yet sympathise we must. By far the better team over the 2 legs, and were done last night by a howler from a keeper (whatever about Tuchel, Buffon won't be there next season), and the worst peno decision I've ever seen. Absolutely no way or intention to handle the ball. United scarcely had an attack in the second half, and the penalty should have been their first corner of the half.

Still, considering the scratch team MU had out, it was some result. It could also be a bad one though, as it may actually make top-4 qualification a bit harder, if they now divide their concentration between the league, cup and CL. A result that surely guarantees the OGS will be in charge next season, which means that inside 24 months, MU fans will be wondering who the next manager is going to be.

Look not a word out of anyone about VAR after the 1st leg, Kimpembe should have been sent off twice

As for luck about time we got some in Europe. We had some plenty of it against Bayern in 99 but we battered Dortmund in 97, let Real Madrid of the hook in 2000 when we were the better team over both legs and then Leverkusn in 2002 when we threw it away, On to Port in 04 when an appalling decision stopped us going 2 up, then in 2010 we were easily the best team over 2 legs against Bayern and had no luck that night either then there's the red card Nani got in 2013 which turned the game when were ahead in the tie.

We deserved that bit of luck last night.

But in 2008, Chelsea hit bar and post.

The one that really got away was 2004. And had United beat Porto, we might never have heard from Jose again.

[Maroon Manc]

Should have buried Chelsea before that. Porto and Bayern in 2010 are the 2 worst as we'd have the really top teams in Europe to win it in both years.

Lukaku has taken a lot of stick from most of us but he's been so important the last week. He won't be going anywhere if he keeps this up.

Apart from the bun run. In all fairness, credit were it is due and all that, he showed a real ability to put away those two chances that were laid on a plate for him last night.

Read the rules. It was a stonewall penalty. Dalot knew it and so did Kimpembe.

If that was a stonewall penalty, the law is an ass.

Fair play to united. solid at the back and scored 3 well worked goals through excellent attacking play.

Up to City or Barca to stop them now securing their 4th title at the height of European football.

He extended his arms out beyond the natural silhouette and made himself unnaturally bigger. That is considered intention under the laws. What was going through the player's mind doesn't matter.

What??

The lad jumped to turn his arse to the shot. His arm was exactly where it is supposed to be when making such a move. There was nothing unnatural about his movement at all.
