Rashford describes PSG win as “the moments we live for” Marcus Rashford explained the ice-cold composure that sent Manchester United through to the quarter-finals on away goals, as he stepped up to convert an injury-time penalty that was controversially given by VAR. Manchester United won 3-1 at the Parc des Princes, cancelling out PSG’s 2-0 lead from the first leg at Old Trafford. “I think it was just about keeping a cool head. That’s what you practice for. I wanted to take it,” said Rashford, speaking to BT Sport after the game. “Those moments are the moments we live for, and we want to come out of them smiling after. “Everything seemed to be against us but we’re used to surviving these moments and we proved that again. We keep pushing and bettering ourselves. “It’s a beautiful thing, to have 10 players injured too, but its an opportunity and it’s what they deserve.” Romelu Lukaku had scored United’s first and second goals to give them every chance in the second half, which eventually came from the penalty spot after a VAR review deemed that Presnel Kimpembe had handballed it inside the area. “Me and Marcus Rashford knew we could do the business today after playing together against Fulham,” said Lukaku afterwards. “It was a pleasure to play with him today like that. “We agreed to step up the press together and I told him every time he shoots I would follow the ball in. “We just keep going – everything starts on the training ground with 5 v 5, 6 v 6 and the competitiveness starts there. It’s natural to us, we keep going until the referee blows the whistle.” The post Rashford describes PSG win as “the moments we live for” appeared first on teamtalk.com.
