The latest chapter in Manchester United's long history book of making comebacks took place at the Parc des Princes last night.

Paris Saint-German, who comprehensively outplayed United in the first leg at Old Trafford were odds on favorite to progress to the next round.

Many tipped PSG to win the whole tournament but the Red Devils scripted another famous comeback win, just a day after Ajax upset Real Madrid.

The match started in the best possible way for United with Romelu Lukaku scoring in the second minute. Juan Bernat equalized in the 12th minute to maintain PSG's ascendency. Lukaku scored in the 30th minute to restore United's lead and more importantly, scored their second away goal.

When all hopes were lost, a speculative shot by Diego Dalot struck Presnel Kimpembe's hand. The referee first awarded a corner but later changed his decision after consulting with VAR and awarded a penalty.

Marcus Rashford stepped up to take the most pressure-ridden penalty in his career yet and duly buried the ball into the back of the net to spark wild celebrations by the players and the fans.

United won on away goals rule after the scoreline read 3-3.
