The best reactions to Manchester United’s once-in-a-lifetime Champions League win in Paris

Manchester United entered the record books in the last 16 of the Champions League when they beat Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes to progress on away goals.

Their 3-1 win made them the first club to lose a first leg game by two or more goals at home but still make it through to the next round.

The English club did it in the most dramatic way possible, too – they were on their way out of the competition before Marcus Rashford’s 90th minute penalty turned the game on its head.

We’ve looked back at some of the best Twitter reaction to a momentous night.
