"Alex was coming to me and he wanted me to do the overlap [with the free-kick] and if there was a chance, he would pass it to me in the box. I told him, 'No, just go to the edge of the box and I will ping the ball over there and you just kick it first time or if you have time, control it.' But after that, it's all the quality of Alex. Nothing to do with me. Okay the ball was good, the ball went straight to Alex but Alex made a really good strike and it was an unbelievable goal, honestly."
"It's a great feeling. As I said before, when I was captain for the first time against PSG, in the Champions League also, it means a lot. I think for every player who can have the armband and lead in some way the lads in the game, it's a proud moment for everyone. I'm part of this proud people."
"It was my first Champions League night here with fans and it was unbelievable. It's a great feeling, the atmosphere was unbelievable, but for me, Champions League or not, the atmosphere at Old Trafford has been fantastic. Obviously, everyone sees it as a special competition and it is special for everyone but I think at Old Trafford it has been special every time with fans. So I cannot see this as being better than the ones because the fans have been fantastic in every one we've had."
"It's easy to overlook it because Ronaldo has scored the goal, but Jesse showed great composure to play the ball back to him when he could have taken the shot himself. It was like a one-two, the way Cristiano headed the ball down to Jesse, and he returned it. That was brilliant from Lingard."

FT
What a breathtaking finale as Cristiano Ronaldo, on the night he made a record 178th Champions League appearance, stepped up to seal a much-needed victory, just when it seemed the clock had beaten us. And let's not forget David De Gea's heroics in the first half when we were under the cosh, and the stunning equaliser by Alex Telles early in the second.
90 MINS + 5
Get in! Old Trafford erupts, and so does Ole, as Cristiano fires past Rulli! It came from a great cross by Fred, with our no.7 heading the ball down and then blasting home after Lingard knocked it back into his path. Wow.
90 MINS + 3
Rulli gets a paw to Jesse's close-range volley and then gathers the ball before our no.14 can connect with it again. Two minutes of injury time to go.
90 MINS + 1
Good technique but lacking the power to trouble Rulli, who has been by far the busier goalkeeper since half-time.
90 MINS + 1
One of Villarreal's subs is yellow carded for a foul on Matic.
89 MINS
Ole makes his third and fourth changes of the night. One more available.
86 MINS
Our no.1 denies Danjuma and when the rebound comes off the onrushing Dia, David saves that too. Then a scramble ensues and Dia can't quite get the ball over the line. Phew!
