Calling on the team to avoid being in a disadvantageous situation

Manchester United defender Maguire, 32, said: "It feels incredible to score the winning goal in such an important game with so many ups and downs. This is the most bizarre and craziest game I have ever participated in. I have played for Manchester United for 6 years and have experienced many good moments, but also many lows."

"Honestly, this game pretty much sums up my entire experience at Manchester United. If we had ended up losing 4-2, I don't know how I would feel talking here."

Looking back on the process of reversing Lyon at a crucial moment, Maguire shared, "From the way they celebrated the goal, I think they really thought they had won at the time, but this helped us have more motivation to reverse the game."

"But the worst feeling was that we felt like we had lost the game, not that we were defeated by our opponents. We shouldn't have put ourselves in that situation."

In addition, Maguire added, "Even if we enter extra time at 2-2, with one less player on the other side, giving us the initiative, we can't make that mistake again. If we want to win this tournament, we must not put ourselves in a situation where we have to reverse."
