It was the semi-final of the prestigious FA Cup wherein a strong Manchester United were facing a not so strong club Coventry F.C. It appeared that it is just a matter of time, and the Red Devils will blow away their opponents. A repeat of the 2023 FA Cup final was well on the cards. Furthermore, at one stage the men in red were also leading the tie 3-0. It looked all over for Coventry. 

But this is when we witnessed an iconic comeback from the underdogs. The men in blue scored 3 quick goals and levelled the tie 3-3. It could have been 4-3, but the VAR spoiled their party. The match eventually went into the penalty shootout wherein the men in red held their nerves and came out as the winners. 

Even though Manchester United were the winners of the game, but it was Coventry who won the heart of every football fan. Take a bow Coventry F.C. You have made everyone proud.
