Alex Ferguson Joins Dressing Room Celebration As Manchester Beat PSG 3-1 In Stunning Comeback.

By
Alex Ferguson joined dressing-room celebrations as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Manchester United’s momentous victory at PSG as a triumph of incredible self-belief.



Manchester United delivered the biggest surprise of the European season so far, earning a remarkable last-gasp 3-1 victory at PSG to advance on away goals rule after a 3-3 aggregate scoreline.

The Red Devils’ interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, had talked up an unlikely comeback for his team coming into this fixture despite losing the first leg 0-2 at Old Trafford.

But interim chief Solskjaer still refused to accept he will land the job full-time despite inspiring one of United‘s greatest ever nights in the Champions League.

The Norwegian praised Marcus Rashford‘s lack of nerves in taking the 93rd minute penalty – awarded on VAR – which sealed a 3-1 victory and a quarter-final spot on away goals.

And Solskjaer was delighted “boss” Fergie – plus fellow legend Eric Cantona – popped in to share the rejoicing after injury-hit United wen through.

And Solskjaer claimed his youngsters lived up to the character shown in that all-time great comeback.

The Norwegian told beIN SPORTS: “It was great to see the boss in there after the game for the first time. “The lads were absolutely magnificent.

“I’m just going to do my best until the summer and see what the club decides. Tonight we have to remember the spirit of Man United.”

And of United’s pre-match attitude to tackling a 2-0 first-leg deficit, Solskjaer said: “Being underdogs is not usual for us at Man United but it was a nice feeling for the boys today – because there are lots of young players and lots of players who’ve not played.

“It’s good for them to just go out and have nothing to lose.

“We just said go out and express yourselves. We know we have to defend more than we have ever done and run more than we have ever done but we’ll get chances and take them.”

Solskjaer saluted England striker Rashford for stepping up in Paul Pogba‘s absence to slot home the spot-kick decider

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
