It’s an electrifying atmosphere at Old Trafford as Manchester United mounts a remarkable comeback in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. Trailing 0-2 from the first leg, the Red Devils needed a Herculean effort to advance to the quarter-finals, and they are delivering so far.
In a sensational first half, David Moyes’ side has surged ahead with a brace from Dutch striker Robin van Persie. Van Persie first converted a penalty before capitalizing on a pass from Wayne Rooney to beat Olympiakos’ goalkeeper Roberto.
With a 2-0 lead at halftime, Manchester United is in control, but they know they still need to find another goal to secure their progression. However, they must remain vigilant as Olympiakos has shown they are capable of posing a threat.
For David Moyes, who has faced intense scrutiny, this turnaround offers a much-needed respite and a glimmer of hope for his tenure at Old Trafford.
