Gianluigi Buffon reveals why Manchester United are part of the 'biggest regret' of his career

22.03.2023 - 20:19 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Gianluigi Buffon has singled out Manchester United's 2019 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain as the "biggest regret" of his career.

United flew to Paris in March of that year with a two-goal deficit to make up, having been beaten 2-0 by a scintillating PSG side in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

The Reds were handed little to no chance of progressing into the last-eight, but turned the tie on its head to win 3-1, going through on away goals.

Romelu Lukaku netted twice for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, but a Juan Bernat goal had the French side going through as the 90-minute mark passed.

But the ex-Chelsea midfielder, who was dismissed by the club's former owner Roman Abramovich in January 2021, could not provide an immediate lift for the Blues.

Marcus Rashford sent Manchester United back into the Premier League top four with the winner as the Red Devils beat Brentford 1-0 on Wednesday, while Newcastle won 5-1 at West Ham to stay third. Callum Wilson and Joelinton each scored twice for the Magpies, who remain above United on goal difference.
