The PSG players were in utter shock after Marcus Rashford's late spot-kick sent United through.
Romelu Lukaku played a starring role in Manchester United's 3-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night but the striker took a moment to speak to Presnel Kimpembe at full-time.
It was Kimpembe who gave away the late penalty that sent United through, handballing Diogo Dalot's effort from range in the final minute. It summed up a shocking night for the French team, who were outmanoeuvred by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side tactically and psychologically.
