Fay, who played in the Champions League with City, believes Wednesday night is another for the history books.
"Is this one of the greatest nights in European history for Glasgow City? Emphatically, you must answer yes," the goalkeeper said.
"To score two goals in injury time after losing a goal in the 85th minute, it's phenomenal. There's not many words that can describe what we've seen here tonight [Wednesday].
"An absolutely astounding game of European football and, to a player out there, they worked their absolute socks off.
"Yes, there were mistakes, but how they recovered from it, everybody should stand up and take notice of that. You are going to make mistakes in every walk of life, but it's how you react.
"Absolutely phenomenal. Glasgow City in Europe is just a thing. They can't help but create excitement, they can't help but have moments like this. They can't help but do the unexpected.
"You can never sit back and think, 'that's just it'. Not when the opposition score in the first moments to go 3-1 up on aggregate. Not when the opposition score in the 85th minute.
"They find a way and have found a way again."
