Paul Pogba and Patrice Evra savoured the moment at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night as Manchester United staged an extraordinary comeback against Paris Saint-Germain.
The two French stars were among several United icons in the stands to see if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s depleted Red Devils could do the unthinkable and overturn a 2-0 deficit.
Incredibly United did just that, leaving Evra and Pogba in a state of total euphoria.
Pogba, who was suspended for the clash after being sent off at Old Trafford, posted a video of the pair jumping around in celebration on Instagram.
He wrote ‘no caption’ next to the video, as the double act went crazy amid large swatches of much-less pleased PSG supporters.
Both shout ‘ici c’est Manchester’ just after the full-time whistle blew, which roughly translates as ‘here, this is Manchester’.
Marcus Rashford scored a dramatic winning penalty in stoppage time after referee Damir Skomina judged Presnel Kimpembe to have blocked a Diogo Dalot shot with his arm.
It was a controversial call but England international Rashford remarkably kept his cool, smashing the ball high towards the top-left corner, out of reach of veteran stopper Gianluigi Buffon.
United were missing as many as ten first team names but they got off to a flying start when Romelu Lukaku netted after two minutes.
Juan Bernat pulled a goal back for the Parisians, but Lukaku struck again midway through the first half keeping United’s hopes in the tie alive.
Eric Cantona, Sir Alex Ferguson and Gary Neville all watched on as United then pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in their history.
The draw for the quarter-finals takes place on March 15.
