    One of the most notable and controversial incidents of the match was Lyon being reduced to 10 men in the final minutes, which deeply upset Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca and the rest of the Lyon players.

    While the pressure from Ruben Amorim’s players to score a third goal was increasing, Manchester United players were preparing an attack from the right side of Lyon’s penalty area when an accidental collision between Corentin Tolisso and a United forward led to a favorable foul call for the Red Devils. This resulted in Tolisso, who had already been booked, receiving a second yellow card, leaving Lyon stunned and forced to play extra time with 10 men.

    Tolisso’s dismissal was strange because it appeared to be an unintentional collision with a United player. Paulo Fonseca protested, arguing that the referee could have avoided showing Tolisso a second yellow card, given he was already on a booking.
