If wishes were horses, Manchester United fans would prefer seeing Copenhagen and Galatasaray having a draw the second time than any of them having a win against each other. On the flip side, they should win against Bayern Munich.
To Manchester United fans, the idea for other clubs to draw is beautiful while they win not to lose so that they won't miss of qualifying round of 16, and one of them(Galatasaray or Copenhagen) would like to go to the European League.

Well don't even dream that Manchester united will win Bayern Munich because despite the fact that Bayern Munich have qualified for the knockout stages but that doesn't mean they'll be so weak for Manchester united to beat them and for the fact that Bayern Munich drew their last match with FC Copenhagen will even make them to put more of their energy and concentration in that match because Bayern Munich is always very active whenever they meet bigger clubs unlike when they meet smaller teams.

I don't think Manchester city will take any title this season, this season is one of the tough and interesting season every team coming out with competition, I don't know what's wrong with city boys and they need to sit up and take actions very quick or they'll not go far talk less of winning a title this season. I don't think pep is the problem and let's not blame pep yet, the team need time I think the pressure is just too much and they're trying, but I can't believe the fact that Villa won Manchester city, if they continue like this how will they win the next match, although they might win but let's not expect anything yet.

So far in the games we have seen from Manchester City during this season in all tournaments, I can say this Manchester City is far from what we were expecting from them to see in the past and Manchester City hasn't had a good performance so far. Manchester City is in the group with teams like Leipzig and two other weak teams and they haven't had a hard match yet but if they play against the stronger teams, they will have problems even with a coach like Guardiola in this team.

Seeing some of the games leading to the final group games,I think clubs such as Newcastle will be sent packing because they haven't been putting up a convincing performance lately!
If we look back at Newcastles win against United they did not impress in that game inspite of the win ,and today they got beat by an Everton team that I consider to be struggling for form ,and with another EPL game to go before champions league football this team will be fatigued and they will have that as an excuse for their early exit, otherwise Newcastle are gone for me!

Let's not complicate this one, that Galatasaray and Copenhagen match will be the decider and this match will have goals and won't end in a draw either...

Manchester United, Galatasaray and Copenhagen will fight to win in the final match of the group stage. One of the three teams will qualify for the round of 16 and one of them will go to the Europa League. Manchester United has a good chance of winning the match against Bayern Munich, but whether they qualify or not really depends on the Galatasaray and Copenhagen matches.

The scenario that Manchester United needs to qualify for the round of 16 is to win the match against Bayern Munich and expect Copenhagen and Galatasaray to draw, for me that scenario is super difficult.

This last group A matches will be hot. Copenhagen will be hosting Galatasaray, while Manchester United will be hosting the German giants Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich has already qualified to the next round of the competition, while Manchester United will be struggling to get even a spot in the Europa League because they currently have limited chance to qualify to the next round of Champions League or even the Europa League.

The most interesting match will be the match against  Copenhagen vs Galatasaray; all of them will be willing to win the match to secure their round of 16 spot in the champions league. Nevertheless, with the two teams respective performances in their domestic leagues, Galatasaray looks more promising than Copenhagen based on their last matches in all competitions. I think it will be a tough match, but Galatasaray might end up winning the match even as they will be playing away from home.

This is a life and death match for them so it will definitely be an all out match for both teams because if in the end one of them loses this match then they automatically fail to be in the knock out phase.
The first leg ended 2-2 and that was because Copenhagen lost one of their players which made it difficult for them to hold on to their lead even though they had a good lead in the first half.
For the second leg now, it is definitely going to be interesting because even though they have only met once but they must have pocketed the information in order to beat each other. I am really looking forward to this match because for Manchester United, Galatasaray and Copenhagen at the moment they are still related to each other in terms of results.

In this particular case I doubt that Thomas Tuchel will decide to let his best eleven players play most of the game. He is frequently complaining about how thin his squad is and that injuries and physical stress are a major risk to their success and that he has already problems to retain control over the physical exhaustion of each player. Since he is saying all these things repeatedly, I expect him to let other players with less practice play. I can imagine that he would even leave Harry Kane on the bench. And I could understand it, maybe I would do the same if I was him.  

But in the final match for this group stage, Copenhagen or Manchester United could make a brilliant enough performance to win, although I also believe that Galatasaray will try to be better than before in the final match in this group stage. Apart from that, I'm also quite curious about who will qualify for the European League play-off round apart from those who will qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League this time because the points for these three teams are quite close and any mistake could make them worse off.

I didn't see the game against Copenhagen, but I read Müller's post-match interview and he was very angry that Bayern couldn't win. If you doubt that Bayern will play to win, remember last season - Bayern qualified after the 4th round (4 wins), but in the remaining games that were no longer important for it, it beat Inter 2-0 and Barcelona 3-0. And it was that crisis Bayern without a good striker.

Galatasaray's performance is quite good in league competitions, although currently their position has dropped to 2nd place in the Domestic League standings. even though in fact, they have the same 31 points as Fenerbache. The effects of the loss against Bayern Munich seemed to have an impact afterwards and Galatasaray suffered their first defeat in their domestic league.
In the Champions League, their performance was not very good even though in their 5 matches they always put up resistance against the teams they faced. On the sixth matchday, what is certain is that Okan Buruk will prepare his squad to perform at its best to defeat Copenhagen. so, does Galatasaray have a chance for that. the answer is, yes they have a chance to overthrow Copenhagen.

Meanwhile, Copenhagen, in their last 5 matches in all competitions, they have not won a single match. three times with defeats, and two draws. but because the sixth matchday match in the Champions League will be held at Parken, their own home. which means, they will go all out to win the match, especially playing in front of their own supporters. In the first leg, Copenhagen was able to take the lead with a score of 0-2. Luckily, Galatasaray was able to equalize because one of Copenhagen's players was given a red card. In this meeting, both teams will both appear to win the match. So, in this match both teams have equal chances. although if we refer to temporary odds, Galatasaray is slightly superior. So, to be sure, let's just wait for the match to be played on December 13.

Galatasaray's good performance must be acknowledged, they are the strongest team this season in the Turkish Super League. Galatasaray have only conceded 8 goals in their last 14 matches in the Turkish Super League, so Copenhagen will certainly have a hard time beating them in their next match. This will also hurt Manchester United's chances of qualifying for the last 16, meaning Galatasaray have a better chance of securing that ticket alongside Bayern Munich.

Manchester United could win over Bayern Munich, but I think they will only fight for the Europa League. The chances of getting to the round of 16 are very low considering Galatasaray's performance, but no one knows for sure although analytically I believe Galatasaray will get there.

It will definitely be a game to watch, both teams will play for the next round and the winner will advance to the next round.
I think Galatasaray has the advantage in terms of squad quality and I think we will win and I hope we will.

Don't promise anyone for Tuesday, watch this game.

Right but this is one of those examples when I genuinely hope that teams like Galatasaray or Copenhagen get their chance in the next round. For these teams a progression to the next round is a historical success. For Copenhagen more of course than for Galatasaray, but still it would not be good to see Manchester United get lucky with some last lucky move because Copenhagen and Galatasaray end the game with a draw and Manchester United wins against a second team from Bayern Munich. If they played against Bayern Munich in game 3 and game 4, we wouldn't be talking about Manchester United anymore because they would already be out.

I think you copied the wrong message, rewrote what I said for me. It's obviously a mistake



The thing that scares me the most is that they played well against Bayern in the previous match. The quality of the team is not very good, but they are really fighting to do something, and so is Galatasaray. So I'm sure we will watch a very competitive match. Both teams will be on the field to win and get out of the group. Of course, having an audience advantage is also very important

Anyone that want to use last night match Manchester United victory over Chelsea to judge that of Bayern Munich match is only dreaming because I don't see any hope for Manchester United in that match. I don't think that they will even qualify to the next round because even though they win Bayern Munich, they still need to depend on the result of Galaxataray and Copehengan match, it is only if the match ends in a draw that United will qualify, apart from that, they will not qualify.

Bayern Munich is in a good form currently, as they are first on the group and they have already qualified to the next round. I was thinking that because they have already qualified, Bayern Munich will not take the match serious but I might be wrong because they might want to maintain a clean sheet in the group stage.

Indeed, this match is not very interesting but certainly both Atletico and Lazio will try to win the group. Because if one of them is in the top position then in the round of 16 they will play against a team from another group who is in second place and that is an opportunity to find an opponent that is a little easier than having to play against a team from the top position from another group. I think the competition will still continue and even though both have qualified for the round of 16, winning will still be a priority for both of them. Saving energy might be done after one of these teams takes the lead and that could be a good strategy to overcome the busy schedule in the domestic league.

For Celtic vs Feyenoord, this is no more than an ordinary match and whoever wins will have no further impact on the standings in the group and I think that will be a pretty good ending when the fans want entertainment.

First, they let player's go and could not replace them well. Pep Guardiola failed at achieving that with the club. The move of IIkay Gundogan and that of Mahrez affected City. They brought in Doku who has done well but Pep Guardiola's last season team had both winger's working. This current squad has just one ( Doku ) now what happens if he gets Injured?

They brought in Kovacic for Gundogan who is more defensive than creative. Gundogans absence must have been seen. With how its going, it shows that the Premier League would be difficult for him and Manchester City. They're going to have most of them lads back soon they'll cope.

I also agree they have high chances of winning against Copenhagen in their last game.They were great in attack against Manchester United and they had much more chances to win the game but their weak point was the defense as also Manchester United had a lot of chances and they easily with just 2-3 passes were in hit zone against Galatasaray.I know Copenhagen is not the same level as Manchester United and because they were able to handle well against Manchester they most likely have high chances,really high chances to win.I was not impressed at all by Copenhagen play against Bayern,it was Bayern totally underestimating the game.
