00:00Ruben Amorim made a pretty significant point in the aftermath of his side's staggering 5-4 comeback win against Lyon.
00:06A point that underlined the high-stakes game his first part-season at Manchester United has become.
00:13Sitting in the media room at Old Trafford, about an hour after his players had been careering around the pitch taking in their achievement after coming from 4-2 down with 6 minutes of extra time remaining to conjure up a sensational victory, Amorim took a deep breath and offered a little analysis.
00:26This kind of moment can help the players a lot in this kind of season, the Portuguese head coach said.
00:33It can create some connection with the fans and the players and we can forget for a few minutes what kind of season we are having.
00:40Today is a good feeling but tomorrow we start everything again.
00:44For United, Friday will mark the start of preparations for Wolves at home.
00:48Their manager Vitor Pereira was in the Old Trafford stands for the start of the Europa League epic, but like many supporters he had headed for the exit before the drama-fueled ending.
00:58Pereira knows the outcome suits his team.
01:01United have to recover from such a draining experience.
01:05Amorim hinted at changes being made to protect tired players.
01:09Wolves could end up facing a very weakened team.
01:12We have to take a risk and save some players, said Amorim.
01:17If you look at our season, the most important thing for everybody is Europa League.
01:22So, United's season boils down to the two games against Spain's Athletic Bilbao and, maybe, a final against Boto-slash-Glimp from Norway or Tottenham.
