Man Utd 3-2 AS Roma | Highlights | UEFA Champions League
Manchester United needed a second chance from the penalty spot before Matheus Cunha could finish the rescue. Their Champions League highlights against Roma pack a two-goal deficit, an extraordinary near-miss and a late winner into barely two minutes.
The club's official upload drew roughly four million views in its first day, far beyond the usual opening for its short videos. The comment section was about forty-five times busier than usual, with the commentary itself becoming a talking point alongside the goals.
Roma go ahead through Matías Soulé, then Donyell Malen converts a penalty. United's route back is less straightforward: Cunha wins a spot-kick, Bruno Fernandes has his attempt saved, and the referee orders a retake for encroachment. Fernandes makes the second attempt count.
Then comes the moment that briefly makes the comeback look impossible. Bryan Mbeumo's shot hits both posts without crossing the line. "Oh my God! How's that not gone in?" asks the commentator.
Cunha supplies the answer United need, equalising before striking again late to complete the victory. He pulls off his shirt in celebration as the commentary rises with the noise at Old Trafford.
Viewers repeatedly mention the voice calling those closing moments, while others single out Mbeumo's double-post effort and Shea Lacey's contribution. The club has also posted Lacey's reflections and separate Cunha clips, all drawing stronger-than-usual starts. But the full highlights keep the night's unlikely sequence together: the reprieve, the ricochets and Cunha's finish.
