A banner was unfurled in the Sevilla end that read 'We've got a dream' and their supporters ignited a flare. Manchester United should have doused the dream.
Instead it is still alive. United scored all four goals only two of them were in their own net. They did their utmost to make a contest of a tie when its competitiveness ought to have ended after 90 minutes in Manchester.
Tyrell Malacia's dithering defending gave Sevilla a lifeline in the 84th minute and a header that ricocheted in off the dumbstruck head of Harry Maguire in the 92nd minute continued Sevilla's hex over United.
