They won, but only by 1-0, which they did at Old Trafford, after the 1-5 game in Frankfurt. Harry Kane had a good chance to make it 2-0, a powerful header that went unfortunately not in the goal. It wasnt a good game and there were only 15 shots on goal in the whole game from both teams. Okay... now Bayern Munich can celebrate, they are first in the group. With 5 wins in 6 games and 12:6 goals, thats a strong performance, Manchester united are last in the group, nobody would have thought that at the beginning.

Real Madrid played so good in the first 6 games. They won all of them and scored 16:7 goals, which is the best performance of any team in the Champions League so far.

For the first time, Premier League teams have bad achievement in Champion League group stage not only failed qualify to 16 of round but also United finished on bottom position standings. Seems not only with Manchester United still has Newcastle United with potential drop to bottom position standing depend on their last match result. If Newcastle United can't qualify to 16 round, Premier League left two teams will participants on 16 round after Arsenal and Manchester City success finish on first place.

Its very shy for Premier League competition because they only have two participants on 16 round, but Newcastle United opportunity not close yet depend on their last match result against AC Milan and need help from Dortmund for defeating PSG to make Premier League have three teams participants in 16 round.

Im not even scared when i was watching it. Real madrid was not performing so well but the club can anticipate all after ceballos was able helping madrid to go home again with the full points. It seems like that if ancellotti is also concerning the performance of madrid without some important players. Madrid is so difficult to beat its opponent which was not a strong club. Since real madrid has been qualified for the next leg and then the club is not so caring so much with the result from the match.

Achieving three points are helping the club so much. Glad to see that rela madrid has made it happen. It's not an easy won for real madrid but at least bellingham can still cook it.
Thanks ceballos for saving me. That guy is pretty good enough. There must be some rotations to happen soon. Real madrid has very limited players available to play right now.
Ancellotti needs to put more effort in thinking which was the best rotation for the club.

Manchester united has reduced to the last position in the group A, which is a sign that Manchester united will not go far in this champions league tournament because their performance in this season will not bring them good result. They started the match well in the first half, hopping that they will use home advantage to prove to people that they will use their opportunity well by defeating Bayern Munich 2-0, but the match change to another level in the second half that made Bayern Munich to scored a single goal in the 70th minutes to defeated Manchester united 0-1. I think AC Milan will defeat Newcastle united today because they are doing well in the Italian league competition which they can still prove it in this match to defeat Newcastle united 2-1.

Where's Manchester United? one of strongest club in this world must be able to qualify for quarter final either in Champions League or Europa League right? Can anyone mention which Premier League club that stay at the bottom during the group stage in Champions League except Manchester United?

However we have another exciting upcoming matches which are Newcastle vs Milan and Dortmund vs PSG, If both Newcastle and Dortmund win, this will be an interesting story again since PSG will not qualify to the next round.

Galatasaray had quite a lot of chances but Copenhagen's defensive game was not easy to penetrate. especially after Copenhangen was 1 goal ahead, it was like a strong defense that couldn't be penetrated. a difficulty faced by Galatasaray. and they had to be satisfied because they lost the deciding match. at least they still have a chance to play off in the Europa League, they still have a chance to continue competing in the Europa League. and as for United, it was a nightmare for them who had to be eliminated because they lost to Munich. Quite a bad season for United.

I knew that Manchester United could not beat or draw Bayern Munich at Old Trafford. Erik Ten Hag could not qualify Machester United for the next round of the Uefa Champions League in a group where clubs like Copenhagen and Galatasaray are. Manchester United's next game in the Premier League is against Liverpool, and Liverpool will beat Manchester United at Anfield.

Copenhagen has just made a history today because they were can able to overcomes Galatasaray and finish at second place and automatically qualified to the next round and playing at their home Copenhagen playing slightly under pressure but during the match their defender players were displayed solid defense because although Galatasaray can able to threaten their defense several times but Copenhagen players still discipline and Lerager has became an the hero of Copenhagen because he can scored and help this team to collect 3 points

Group D also looks interesting to see because Sociedad can able to finish at first place after playing draw against Inter Milan yesterday but Benfica has just make important winning too because finally they can able to gets their first winning in this competition from Salzburg and this result also makes Benfica finish at 3rd place and they will playing at Europa league for play off stages later and this is not good achievement from Benfica because last season they can able to advances to the quarterfinal but at least Benfica didn't finish at the bottom of group standings

Their chance was very small before the match and the result only closed the gate for them to move to a next round in Champions League. It looks more terrible when they completed this group at the bottom position and even don't have a chance to play play-off matches in Europa League like the past season. It is a serious failure of Manchester United but let's hope they will take it as a motivation to come back stronger in next few seasons. I don't believe they will come back too soon and some more seasons will be needed for them to rebuild their squad to have a stronger one.

They don't have too bad position in Premier League and with only a domestic league to focus on, in theory they will play better in Premier League. It is positive thinking but I even imagine they will have troubles in Premier League and might end this season like Chelsea in the past season.

Man United's defeat in this match was not surprising. With the condition of their squad not yet finding stability in their performance on the field, of course it is natural that they should lose to Bayern, who are still in their best condition. But I quite enjoyed this match because I saw that Man United's performance in this match was not too bad. Bayern also didn't have many opportunities in this match. Although this result disappointed all Man United fans. But losing by a narrow score isn't so bad.

The positive thing is that Man United will be able to focus more on the domestic league from now on. And they have to fight harder to climb to a better ranking in the domestic league. If Man United can return to their best performance then getting a ticket to the Champions League next season is still possible. But if Ten Heg fails to get Man United back to their best then maybe Man United will fail to get into the top 4 this season. It might even be difficult to get a ticket to the Europa League.

Still as usual, Real Madrid was able to finish the final match in the group stage very well. Even though Vinicius Jr is still absent, the existing squad can still overwhelm opponents in this match. Well, I think Real Madrid this season can go further again like last season.

What are you afraid of. Whatever the result in this match will not affect Real Madrid. Union Berlin tried to steal a win from Real Madrid to finish in third place, they had done everything to go to the Europa League but were still having difficulty matching the strength of Real Madrid.
This victory meant that Real Madrid managed to escape the group stage with a perfect record. The action of Real Madrid players must continue to the next round in order to maintain their chance of returning to the championship ladder after failing in the semifinals last season.

This match was very competitive. The players of Union Berlin played well in this match. Luka Modrich failed to score from the penalty opportunity in the 45th minute. And Kevin Volland gave Union Berlin the lead in the 45th minute from a counter attack. Union Berlin led 1-0 at the end of the first half. But in the second half we saw the dominance of Real Madrid. Joselu scored two consecutive goals in the 61st and 72nd minutes. However, Alex Kral's goal in the 85th minute brought the match back to 2-2. But Dani Ceballos saved Real Madrid at the last minute. Ceballos scored in the 89th minute off a pass from Bellingham to give Madrid a 3-2 lead.

As a result of defeat in the last match against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, Manchester United had to bury their dream of qualifying for the round of 16 or being relegated to the Europa League. Manchester United fate in the group stage was very tragic, they were unable to maintain their performance after appearing extraordinary last season. Under Ten Hag guidance this season, Manchester United were only able to collect four points from six matches, they were only able to win once, draw once and lose four times.

Copenhagen gave the surprise in Group A, they managed to beat Galatasaray points tally which earned them the right to accompany Bayern Munich to the round of 16. However, I am not sure that Copenhagen can survive longer in the UCL, because according to the lottery rules in the round of 16, the runners up will be met with the group winners.

I was very scared to watch the Real Madrid game. There was a lot of competition from the start of the game but Real Madrid were able to attack but were unable to succeed in the first half. Union Berlin managed to score a goal at half time and Union Berlin led by one goal at half time. Joselu I scored two goals in the 61st minute and 72nd minute with a magic footwork to add two goals to Real Madrid's tally. Again Union Berlin leveled the game with a goal just before the end of the game. Then I was very worried about betting because the game would be over in a while I was very afraid of the tension of losing the bet. But some time later, Real Madrid scored another goal and there was no goal in extra time. Finally the game ended with 2-3 goals.

I was very disappointed with Manchester United's performance. It was a do-or-die match for Manchester United. A win in this match would have given them a slim chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds. They could also qualify for the Europa League. But seeing Manchester United's performance in this match, I don't think they had any intention to win the match. Manchester United played a defensive strategy in the home match. In the entire match, they made only 5 shots on the opponent's goalpost. I don't know why Manchester United played so stupidly in such a high-voltage home match. Ten Hag should be sacked ASAP by Manchester United management. He is not able to help the team.

I agree with you. Manchester United management should revamp the entire squad. They must hire an experienced coach. And then the whole team has to be rebuilt with a new coach. Manchester United's squad is not weak. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. But the problem is that the understanding between the players is not good. If the understanding between the players is not good, it becomes very difficult for the team to perform well. Coach Ten Hag did nothing to help build chemistry between Manchester United's players.

Its not really surprised with Manchester United as first premier league teams failed reach knock out round, not only drop out from Champion League but also United will not play on Europe League due finished on bottom position standings in Group A. Finally Copenhagen qualify to next round as runner up standing behind Bayern Munich as the top standings.

Real Madrid completed all winning matches in Champion League group stage, perfect achievement with 18 points and the only one teams participants in Champion League not loss points yet and Madrid has 100% winning ratio. Last nigh match, Madrid played full team and Carlo Ancelotti use their all main squad for this match, although have been qualified Madrid won't loss their points and winning 3-2 made Madrid possibility face teams on runner up standing other group.

Following last night's matches, there were no surprises in Group A. Despite securing the top spot and a ticket to the next round, Bayern fielded a strong lineup. Although Varane returned, Maguire's injury at the end of the first half led to Manchester United's defeat against Bayern at home, officially ending their Champions League journey. Copenhagen, along with Bayern, advanced to the next round in Group A after defeating Galatasaray.

Group B's scenario was already set for Arsenal, so they fielded many substitutes. The draw still helped Arsenal secure the top spot, advancing alongside PSV.

Real Madrid completed an impressive group stage with all wins. They fielded a strong lineup in the last match, securing a 3-2 victory in the final minutes, advancing to the next round along with Napoli.

Another giant, Inter Milan, couldn't secure a win and had to proceed to the next stage in the second position.

@makishart I just don’t blame Ten Hag I feel that most of the playing 11 is unfit to play for the club and I’m hoping that the new owner will ruthlessly sell as many as he can because with these player’s the club will continue taking backwards step. Also Ten Hag is now closer to the sack as the club will take a hit due to missing out on the groups stage and I hope that the new coach will give forgotten player’s like Donny and Sancho a chance and buy proven player’s and not some random player’s he’s coached.

In the end, they had to leave the Champions League and Europa League competitions after losing their last match against Bayern Munich last night so they finished at the bottom of the standings. I watched the match and as far as the match went the Manchester United players were not creative and they were not able to create any chances to score at all. In fact, if you look at Bayern Munich's performance last night wasn't too pressing and even Bayern Munich's defense wasn't that good. Because Manchester United players were unable to create opportunities, they had to accept defeat and failed to take advantage of qualifying for the Europa League after Galatasaray lost against Copenhagen.

Bayern Munich played much more relaxed and they did not force fast attacks to score goals because perhaps their position was already safe. This defeat will make many parties feel disappointed, especially fans and management and Erik Ten Hak's future will be increasingly at stake after failing to qualify for the round of 16 and/or the European league.
