Manchester United and Olympique Lyonnais are gearing up for an intense UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash. Despite their contrasting domestic situations, both teams are approaching the match with unwavering confidence.

Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana exudes confidence, stating, “We believe we’re significantly stronger than Lyon. While they’re a quality side, our focus is on our own performance. We’re approaching this game with a winning mindset, fully aware of its importance.”

Lyon, coming off a recent victory against Lille, are equally determined. Rising star Rayan Cherki, currently leading the Europa League in assists, boldly declared, “We’re prepared to give everything we’ve got against Manchester United.”

With both teams showing such resolve, football fans can anticipate an exciting and fiercely contested Europa League quarter-final match.
