Manchester United have bad capital for facing UEFA Champion League opening match against Bayern Munich, its seems difficult after losing 1-3 over Brighton Albion they will get good start in first match have strong opponent teams Bayern Munich. Actually will give psychological impact for Manchester United players after losing in Premier League and they don't have good start in domestic league right now have loss 3 of 5 matches.

Finally in this middle week we are watching UEFA Champion League group stage matches, there are have new comer team participant in Champion  League like Union Berlin as Bundesliga participant and Newcastle United from Premier League team, how potential with newcomer team will make surprise in Champion League?

There is one peculiar trait about the uefa champions league and over the years i have been unable to define it. The truth that league form has no effect on european form; either europa league or champions league. You can lose weekly in your league, and win your champions league games steadily; it happens almost yearly; inter milan last season, sevilla in the europa too.

On the contratry; i think Manchester United can get a result against Bayern Munich.

This is the champions league we are talking about here. Not the premier league. Manchester United will have known that their strength would be incomparable to Bayern's and would be aiming to secure a draw at most. They will also be aiming to at least secure a spot in the Europa league should their chances run out in the premier league and champions league respectively.
The defense line is really porous right now for Manchester United, it makes me wonder what kind of a team Ten Hag has been building since he was signed on. What would have Sir Alex done differently?

I also think Manchester United does not stand a chance against Bayern Munchen as they lost today against Brighton at home in another shameful game in front of their home fans.When they can't beat Brighton at home how can they even remotely think that they can beat Bayern Munchen?I know the ball is round and anything can happen yet I don't think that they have the right psychological attitude to face this big game.

Finally on 19 September we will finally start seeing Champions League matches,it has been so long since that final of Manchester City vs Inter like it seems a decade and not just three months ago.

I have the confidence that Bayern Munich is going to win their match against Manchester United. We all saw how Manchester United played against Brighton in today’s Premier League match, they lost to Brighton. It’s embarrassing that they couldn’t win the match. Is it the same Manchester United that will be facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and they think they will win? Manchester United's performance is really poor this season, and I don’t really think they will go far in Champions League this season.

Manchester United defense is very weak, I can’t just imagine the amount of goals which Bayern Munich will be scoring in the match, Manchester United defense is so poor, so it will be very easy for Bayern Munich to penetrate.

I think we should be realistic here its not a fantasy thing. Manchester United are not that of threat now i dont see them at any chance to win Bayern Munich in the forth coming game. Bayern Munich has proven themselves in most champions league season and this season is no exceptional. If Manchester United where playing better now I would have believe they might win but even if Bayern Munich are not as strong as they were in the previous seasons i dont see them been defeated in the group stage.

There are moments when even the best teams could end up losing to lower level teams. Same Real Madrid lost to sheriff too, which was one of the most watched highlights of the group stages all year long. This is why there could be moments where Barcelona could end up with an upset, but overall I expect them to finish the group as first, that doesn't mean they have to go 6/6, they could lose a game or two, and still be the first in the group and that would be more than enough for them.

There isn't any team that could make them not be the first in that group, all other three teams will be playing for the second spot to be fair. Lets see how they will do, last year was an upset, this year they may do a lot better.

Bayern Munich will make no mistakes in this match. First of all this team is in great form right now. Consistently we see better performances from Bayern Munich in every match. harry kane is in very good form. He is also able to score regularly. On the other hand, Manchester United's situation is now troubled. They are not able to perform well. Even in today's match, the team lost 3-1 against Brighton. Their defense is very weak.

Bayern Munich's attack is very strong. And this team always performs well against weak defenses. I don't think Manchester United will be able to put up any resistance against Bayern Munich. In this match we will only see the dominance of Bayern Munich players.

So far, Bayern has shown quite good results under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel. Kane, is the answer to their need for a center forward. Even though he is an established striker, Kane nevertheless needs a stronger bond with his teammates. So, the chemistry between the players becomes even closer. In this way, Bayern will reach the level that Tuchel wants. It's only a matter of time for Bayern to become an even stronger team. Unfortunately, Bayern is a little weak for goalkeepers. There are not many options other than continuing to play Sven Ulreich while waiting for Neuer to fully recover from his broken leg.

On the other hand, Manchester United is being hit by a storm of injuries, which has resulted in a decline in their performance. Ten Hag will have many obstacles to prepare his team's squad for the away match to the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich's headquarters.  Several important players, especially defenders, are reported to be absent from the match against Bayern. and this, will be a serious problem for Ten Hag. I suspect that in the next fight, it will most likely not result in a draw.
Bayern's position as the home team is very advantageous. but the problem is, the goalkeeper cannot be relied on that much. So, Tuchel has work to cover the weaknesses of his squad. 
On the other hand, with an unfavorable situation, this means that Ten Hag must formulate a strategy so that his team can provide resistance against Bayern. Well, there's still time left for this match. So, let's just follow every development.

Actually, this is a normal situation, maybe he is a Manchester United fan so he exaggerates his favorite club, but for me it is too much.
Let's really compare these two clubs, Bayern Munich with MU, both clubs have the same experience in the UCL and both have the same chance of qualifying for this round, but in terms of current performance, MU is a little inconsistent, even in the domestic league, this club is performing very badly in The last match today was at home, humiliating Brighton with a score of 1-3 and in the match against Tottenham, MU was also unable to score and from the last five matches in the domestic league, they were only able to have 2 wins.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich appears stronger and performs consistently in the domestic league and we can see that the depth of Bayern Munich's players is superior to Manchester United, which is currently having a few problems and it looks like Erik Ten Hag will fail again.
But if he who favors MU wants to defend and bet on his favorite club, I think he must be prepared to lose his money, because logical thinking is important.

Even if we say Manchester United is not in good form (I think time after time they will get better), still they are not going to lose the grouping stage.
Bayern Munich is a strong team in this group and we know they are the first hope to pass this stage but on the other hand, Copenhagen and Galatasaray are not teams to race with Manchester United in the normal situation and I think Manchester United will be second teams on this group after Bayern Munich being in the first place.

If you look at the four clubs in that F group you will see that even with PSG poor performances in the league this season they still can top that group. My reason is because the four teams has had a mixed start to the season with none of them happy to be where they are today. More so we don’t use the league performances to as a yard stick to judge the performance of the players when coming into the champions league. We have in the past witnessed many club’s lifting the trophy and playing bad in the league, some self missing out of the top four.

I just have this iota of confidence that with the current squad PSG has without big names to add pressure to them they can go a long way in the competition. The season is just starting and they can still fight for every single trophy this season even with the poor start to the season, if Luiz Enrique gets his team tactics right.

Probably lots of people here have changed their minds after seeing the game of PSG against Nice. Me included by the way. At first I was sure that PSG would be the strongest team in that Group F, but this idea can't really be held up after that result. If they lose their home games like that, how will they do when they play in Newcastle or Milan or Dortmund? Those are definitely not games they could take home easy points from. When they also lose their home games like that, who knows but maybe they'll be knocked out before the knockout stage even starts.

I have to say that it made me laugh when PSG lost to Nice. I mean, really! With all the money they have spent, they can't even beat Nice? That makes me wonder where their interests are. If I had to bet, I'd bet that either AC Milan or Newcastle would win Group F. I've seen a few of their games, and it seems like they work better as a team. The way PSG has been playing lately doesn't scream "champions" to me. Tell the truth, Enrique? How much hype? If they keep going like this, they won't make the playoffs

I wonder, why is he so confident in saying Manchester United are better than Bayern Munich? Because after all, Bayern Munich is basically also always part of the Champions League in every season, while Manchester United is actually just able to play in the Champions League again this season. So, only with that factor has also at least made Bayern Munich more clearly better than Manchester United. Also related to the final position later in this group, I personally might rule out Manchester United. Because it looks like Manchester United at this moment also looks not so promising to be able to play well in the Champion League.

If you look at it then I also have the same view, but right now both of them are also in an unstable state, and I'm not sure how long they will go through this. Atletico Madrd have had better results than Lazio in the domestic league, but they haven't played that well, and that makes me think bad things could happen to them in the Champions League.
Lazio just lost to Juventus, after a win at Napoli, and now Atletico Madrid are trailing Valencia in La Liga in the current match.

I think that both Atletico and Lazio will qualify from Group E. Moreover, Atlético is in first place, it is a stable team, and last year’s failure when they took fourth place in the group (despite the fact that the other competitors were not so strong - Porto, Bruges, Bayer) will not be repeated. Probably the game in Italy will be interesting since one point in a home game will not be enough for Lazio and they will try to win. Atletico will most likely dry out the game.

In the League 1 match no one would believe that PSG lost to Nice which is a weak team but in reality that is what actually happened even from this defeat many PSG fans experienced disappointment and lost confidence in the team that they had been proud of as the king of the League 1.
But for the Champions League in group F there is still a chance for PSG to be at the top and emerge as group winners to enter the round of 16 because this defeat could happen because they are focused on the Champions League group phase match on 20 September.

AC Milan might be able to become the new caste to win the group but of course PSG will not let it go like that and Luis Enrique has also targeted PSG to at least be able to qualify first from the group phase to the round of 16 and then give a surprise to us all.

Let’s not be saying somethings contradicting because of the club we are supporting. Bayern Munich has better record than Manchester United in the champions league and the current form of Bayern Munich is much better than that of Manchester United currently. Anything can happen in football, but believe me that Bayern Munich has the better chances of winning the match than Manchester United. The worst that can happen to Manchester United is lose to Bayern Munich while the best is a draw which they can get depending on how they play and perform in that match.


This does not need to be complicated more, Bayern Munich and Manchester United are the two teams from that group that can easily make it to the next round of the qualification. I am still rooting for Bayern Munich to too the group because they have that advantage over Manchester United in this group.

Until yesterday I thought that PSG might be the favorite in the group stage along with AC Milan, but given how this game played out against against Nice and even worse than the result was the game overall, I am not sure anymore whether PSG is really above the other teams in this group. I think they might be as good as anyone else and depending on how AC Milan does against Inter, I will now assume for the time being that this group is about equal in strength among all four teams. Mbappe alone can't do much. Nice had 8:3 shots on target!!!
