If there was some evidence to back up Andre Onana's claim that Manchester United are "way better" than Lyon, Nemanja Matic's accusation was strengthened. The goalkeeper dubbed one of the worst in United's modern history had one of his worst nights in their jersey, with a pair of errors adding to Matic's case. Arguably, United outperformed Lyon, but the scoreboard did not reflect this, as a semi-final spot remained on the line. That was due to Onana's errors, which allowed Lyon to equalise in the 95th minute when he pushed Georges Mikautadze's shot right back out. Rayan Cherki followed up and tapped in. "The worst moment to concede a goal," stated Leny Yoro. There was no attempt to sugarcoat the situation; nor could there be. Ruben Amorim of Onana commented, "There is nothing I can say now to help him," but he did provide an endorsement. "I am really confident in Andre." Amorim felt that the tie is "50-50,...
It was a fantastic match at San Siro, with the Rossoneri coming back from 2-0 down to tie 2-2, but the Viola also had two magnificent goals disallowed, the Luca Ranieri curler for an early foul and the late Dodo volley for offside.
Both goalkeepers produced multiple saves in an intriguing contest, although each point contributes nothing to each team's chances of qualifying for Europe.
"We started again by giving up two goals, and every game is the same. "We try to come back, but it's difficult if we start like this," Reijnders told Sky Sport Italia.
"It's difficult, but we need to keep battling for this club and win as many games as possible in Serie A and the Coppa Italia. "The most essential thing is that we keep fighting.
Jovic and Reijnders are puzzled by chronic Milan difficulties.
It's unclear why Milan usually starts games with a handicap, as they've conceded four goals in the first 15 minutes of their last four Serie A matches.
"I don't know what to say, but we need to find the answers," said Jovic, who was named Serie A Man of the Match for his outstanding substitution effort.
"We have seven more games, and we need to adapt our game, particularly in the opening half. We conceded two goals in 10 minutes, but we demonstrated character and mental toughness. I believe we deserved to win, although Fiorentina also performed well.
"I think this point means more for them than for us."
Jovic is way down the pecking order this season, trailing Tammy Abraham and Santiago Gimenez, and rarely gets an opportunity to establish himself.
"As previously stated, I do my best with the playing time I am allowed. Fiorentina is my former club, and I enjoyed my time there, but I currently play for Milan. I want to play every match; I do my best, and I hope the coach notices."
