I still don't understand why all gambling sites favor Newcastle so much in this game. I get the fact that they're in good form and they have the home advantage, but is it enough to give Ac Milan just over 4 odds? Is Newcastle that good or it's AC Milan that's bad because I don't seem to understand?

I know Milan can be very inconsistent in their performance but if both teams come with their A game tomorrow, I'm sure Milan would come out on top.
These are two teams I would have loved to be in the knockout stage of this season's UCL but it's so sad that only one of them or neither of them would make it there depending on the outcome of the other match of the group. The match between Dortmund and PSG.

Copenhagen deserved to advance to the next round tonight. I congratulate them, but I don't like teams like Copenhagen who use defensive and counter-attacking tactics. Greece won the European championship in 2004 with this tactic. I think these tactics do not contribute positively to football. I call this tactic a negative game. Still, we have to congratulate Copenhagen, they did what they had to do tonight and they made it to the next round.

Finally, Manchester United has been disqualified from the Champions League competition, they cannot even qualified for the Europa League. The result of Manchester United's match against Bayern Munich is not surprising, I was expecting more goals from Bayern Munich, not realizing that the match could end up with just one goal. Perhaps that may be what Manchester United expected from Munich, because Bayern have qualify to the round of 16 they will not become serious with their games, but it is clear that  Bayern Munich is not taking any club easily. The Premier League is the league that matters to Man United and they are back there now.


Manchester United should give it another try next year, but only if they make it to the next champions league. This performance, in my opinion, won't get them very far. Liverpool defeated Manchester United last season when they were playing better than this, and I still believe that will happen this weekend.

From initial I knew it that Manchester United can not qualify this championship league when I seen Bayern Munich as  their counterpart, but people around my environment always emphasising that Manchester United will defeat Bayern Munich,  now Manchester United have being benched not to participate or qualify for champions because of one goal Bayern Munich scored, its  the fault of the players that makes Bayern Munich to take advantages of them, I never believed that Kingsley Coman will score a goal at such minutes, because I taught that the match will end with draw but its a surprise that Kingsley Coman put a smile to the face of Bayern Munich and it ended 1:0 which disqualified Manchester not to qualify to championships league

The attention is already turned to PSG to see if they would qualify from their group together with Borrusia Dortmund, and that will happen if they are able to win against Dortmund or at least not loose. So, they are now affected by the outcome of the game between Newcastle and AC Milan. If PSG lose their game, Newcastle or AC Milan could have a chance by winning. If it is a draw game, PSG will have to be hopeful that Newcastle have not won their own game by scoring many goals because then Newcastle will have the advantage of goals over PSG.

Both teams are equally strong and I hope AC Milan can perform better and secure victory in this match. The match in Group F is very crucial for the 3 teams below Dortmund because if AC milan wins and PSG wins then PSG will qualify and that's why this match depends on the results of other matches. Yes, Dortmund doesn't care whether they lost or not in their last match because they have already secured a ticket to the next round. What Pioli was thinking was of course that they had to play more aggressively from the first minute because if they were slow in moving then Newcastle United could again destroy their hopes.

In another match between Dortmund vs Psg it will be quite difficult to predict because in the first leg PSG can easily beat Dortmund so it will be quite difficult for Dortmund to be able to provide a surprise in this match. A draw is enough for PSG to qualify for the next round and AC Milan and Newcastle United will probably fight for third place to join the European League. Btw Pioli could be fired if he fails because the issue of Pioli dismissal has been very widely reported recently.

Cause the things at Manchester are just so bad.

They are not playing as a team and as predicted, they are out

As many people predicted, United would have difficulty overthrowing Bayern Munich. and yes, they played terrible as usual. Some of the opportunities they get cannot be utilized properly. In this match, I tried my luck to choose United with the Handiap option of 0:0. with the skerio, if the match ends with a score of 0-0. but in fact, Kingsley Coman was able to take advantage of Harry Kane's pass and put it to good use to score their lead and also become Bayern Munich's winning goal. Actually, this match is not that interesting. However, there was no other choice but to watch this match until the end. and my predictions for this match failed miserably. in the end, this is what is best for United. so they can focus on improving their ranking in the Premier League competition.

In the other match in the group A phase, between Copenhagen vs Galatasaray. In the end, the home team ensured they qualified to accompany Bayern Munich to the next round. I didn't watch this match, but based on match statistics. Galatasaray dominated the game more. However, every opportunity they had could not be converted into a goal. and Copenhagen, ensuring victory with their only goal. Apart from that, overall Copenhagen performed quite well in this match referring to the match statistics. in this match, my prediction was according to the estimate I expected. So, of the 4 Champions League group stage matches, only Man United vs Bayern Munich failed miserably. In other words, Galatasaray had to settle for being in 3rd place, but they could still continue their competition in the Europa League. Tomorrow, there should be some more exciting matches for us to watch. so, let's wait.

It is not right to say that the UEFA Europa League may have been better for Galatasaray, but if they had stayed in the last 16 of the Champions League, Galatasaray would not have had a chance, but maybe they could go a little further in the UEFA Europa League. But if they continue to play as they do today, I'm sure they will leave the European league early. The game they played today was the worst game in the group, I think the team lacked the spirit to win.

can we say that Inter vs Real Sociedad was a truly disappointing match? The Spaniards played well but were more committed to making fouls than playing to win, while Inter were completely absent! I don't understand why Inzaghi made very questionable tactical choices such as keeping out Lautaro Martinez, Barella, Bastoni. It almost seems like he was content not to lose rather than try to win despite having already qualified with two rounds to spare. The other big European teams won't be so happy to find Inter as their opponent in the round of 16

It's actually surprising when you Manchester United fans always blaming Glazers for all the worst of their club. It's a thing that United know how to do well, they'll pick up a particular person and blame him for everything. Pogba, Mourinho, Maguire, De Gea, Onana, Glazers, etc. I don't know why they always do that. They refuse that they have a bigger problem than just one person. Everything in that club is wrong. What kind of a club gets £100 million to sign a star player that will lead their attack and gets Antony? Make it make sense to me. What kind of a club makes Casemiro their highest paid player? Look at the kind of playera thy have. It's very difficult for Man United to attract big players, not because it's not a big club nor because they can't afford them but because they don't have a sporting project and if they do, they have a very shitty one.
Look at all their midfielder, there's not a single CM that can hold on to the ball and create chances.
Ten Hag has been poor, but considering the kind of squad he has, they shouldn't expect him to do magic. Man United is not a team that can compete at the highest level.
United is not a team that can compete at top level right now.
Their defense, midfield and attack is poor, their coach is bad, their board is bad. Everything is just poor. Now the worst part is, Man United fans don't know the extent to which their club has fallen off, but they will.

Actually, that club should just be sold to a new person. Not somebody like Todd Boehly though, he's clueless too.

This is definitely going to be a fierce battle in that group. With Dortmund already qualified and PSG at home I think the fate of that game will favour PSG because them having the fans backing them is a huge factor for them and Dortmund will be playing with a more relaxed attitude. The real battle is now on the other match, both of this team needs to beat each other to either have a glimpse of hope to qualify to the next round. I will pick Newcastle because they have been better than AC Milan in this year edition and also playing with their fans behind them at home is an advantage.

As for Manchester United and Sevilla, it is a bitter pill to take but to me the most important one in this, they’d not go through and later just get knocked out early at stage, but with this disappointment they will focus more on the league competition

Unfortunately, we lost. Copenhagen won with a one goal and continues in the Champions League.
I can't say Galatasaray played well, because they didn't.
We will continue in the UEFA Europa League. I hope we will have good success there.

It was really sad with Man United's game and it was natural that they lost if you look at the game, in fact they were only able to get one shot on target. They played not too persistently, hoping to win, there was no variation or deadly strategy that Man United had.

In the end, Man United had to be eliminated from the Champions League after losing 0-1 to Bayern Munich, and Man United had to settle for finishing at the bottom of group A. As a big team, this felt very sad. Bayern Munich certainly played with all their heart in this match even though they were guaranteed to qualify, they did this to entertain their fans after they suffered a big defeat in the domestic league. So from the start I was aware that in this match Bayern Munich would field their best players, not substitute players.

I actually taught Manchester united could put up a fight considering they were playing from home but it turned out they couldn't even get a good opposition in the second half, at first in the first half of the game they did played well and had all the attempts but Munich took over the game in the second half of the game and got a win by a goal.

It was possible Munich could have gotten more goals but then it seem like since they had nothing at stake they played as such and still won regardless which was a very good one, finally Copenhagen and Bayern Munich got to qualify for the round of sixteen and Galatasaray will be relegated to the Europa while Manchester united finally crashed out from the champions league they will now have all their focus on the premier league, which they are aswell not certain of getting the league title, indeed it's been a bed season for Manchester united.

A well deserved end of journey for Manchester United. These dudes have no fighting spirit. Even though Bayern Munich played all their stars, the Bayern side was not aggressive which would have been a nice opportunity for Manchester United only if they put the same efforts they had against Chelsea. There was no force and no enthusiasm from the players. They didn't play as if they needed the win. Infact, when the first half ended, I really expected a very brutal second half but all to no avail. The Manchester United players were a way too gentle for my liking this night.

I am very disappointed with the performance of Manchester United, losing against the Bayern Munich was in a way an expected result, but what it bothers me is how this happened, I watched the game and it was as if Manchester United did not really need the three points, there was never any kind of sense of urgency to try to get the win and they simply lost without putting too much of a fight, and when I compare their performance with what Union Berlin did, then I become even more disappointed, as even if Union Berlin lost against Real Madrid I could tell they were really trying to get the win and they played with everything they had.

Bayern closed their last match with a win and they progressed quite perfectly because they did not suffer defeat in the group phase. Now we see Bayern Munich qualify as group winners and Copenhagen managed to lock in a ticket to qualify for the next round. In Group A, the team that performed badly was Manchester United because they really failed and were not even able to qualify for the European League. Manchester united is really in a bad condition with this defeat and whether Erik Ten Hag will be sacked.

In group B, Sevilla failed in their last match because a goal from Lens in the 90+6 minute made Lens lock in this victory and Lens will join the European League. Arsenal and Psv advanced to the round of 16. In Group C, Real Madrid and Napoli have qualified for the round of 16 because these two teams won their last matches. Real Sociedad and Inter Milan qualified for the round of 16 after successfully performing well in group D.

This doesn't surprise me one bit as well — coming into this match from the weekend, Man Utd were no where good enough to face this Bayern team (in contrast, Bayern lost 5-1 last week but still...). Expecting Copenhagen vs Galatasaray to end in a draw and win over Bayern was a real long shot and I didn't see it happening which was premise to pick Bayern over Man Utd in my parley. Imo, teams shouldn't be putting themselves in a tiny corner and hoping for the downfall of other teamsin order to qualify.

Man Utd just wasted that spot. It should've been Liverpool's.

I did not expect a different winner from the game, I Knew Manchester United already lost the game, the only thing I was not sure of was by the number of goals that they would have lost by. Bayern surprised me that they scored just one goal in the game. Bad season for Manchester United, they failed their supporters who have waited for a long time to see them play in the Champions league. Their coach may likely not remain if he continues with these king of loosing results in the next couple of games by the club.
