After the game, Amorim reflected, "I think that's why we love this sport so much, all the frustration a coach goes through in a season, the bad moments. When you have moments like this, it's all worth it."

"But then you finish the game, you calm down, and you realize we have a game on Sunday. Then we have to see how the players are and if they're fit to play because we have to focus a lot on the Europa League."

"These kind of moments can help a lot of players in this kind of season and this kind of context. These moments can create a connection between fans and players and we can forget for a few minutes the kind of season we're having."

"But again, today is a good feeling, but tomorrow we need to start everything again and focus on players and if they're fit to play. We have to take risks and save it with some players and if we look at our season. The most important for everybody is the Europa League."

Next Up: Athletic Bilbao

United will face Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals, with Amorim hinting they'll be drawing up plans to stop the Williams brothers.

He added, "I played against them in pre-season with Sporting. I know a little bit. Of course, it's a different moment and we know they're really technical. They have two wingers who are really good."

"We'll have time to assess all the characteristics of the opponent and we need to focus a lot on what we need to do until that game because we need to. Especially if you look at the team in the moments at the end of the second half, the team was really tired and you can feel it with some players."

"Bruno Fernandes today was a little bit tired, so I need to be careful, even with Bruno. In the game and also in-between the next two games in the Europa League, I will try to do that, but I will not promise."
