Manchester city has scored their first goal with a rebound from Akanji on the 48th minutes of the match in the early minutes of the second half. Four minutes after Ajanji scored, t he Young boys player took a bild step and attacked which led to their equalizer by Elia with a through pass from Naissi, Ederson was already out from his position and before he knew it Elia loop the ball over his head and it went straight into the post. Manchester city is in dominance of the game and they are likely to score more goals in this second half but the Young boys is trying to calm the pressure down. Rodri has won a penalty and Halaad has scored the second goal for his team to put them on the lead.

Young boys 1-2 Man City

Agree. This season, Man United performance is decreasing. It is not only in UCL matches, they also performed badly in EPL matches. So, they look like an average team both in UCL and EPL matches. I'm not very surprising to see their performance against Galatasaray and Copenhagen because that bad performance has started since the early season. There is something missing in Man United team this season.

Sure, if they get another defeat in the next matches, Man United is possible to be eliminated in the group stage. Galatasaray may finish in the second place, they looks better than Man United. Galatasaray will play at home against Man United in the next match, Man United has a chance to lose point in this match and in the match against Bayern Munich.

I didn't expect that it was Dortmund who was superior in this heated match and maybe if Dortmund could maintain their advantage they could win. The additional 3 points are very important for Dortmund because at least they can breathe a sigh of relief in 2nd position and it also means that Newcastle will have to be eliminated from the previous top position if they lose. There are still 30 minutes left in the match and anything can still happen, from Newcastle equalizing or turning things around. Of course, this is something Dortmund doesn't want to experience and what is certain is that Dortmund must increase their advantage if they want to ensure their victory.

That's the joy of UCL football as anything can happen and is also unexpected, and Lazio were 2-0 down at half-time. And I think in the second half, Lazio could equalize. However, in reality, in the second half, Lazio's condition got worse and Feyenoord managed to beat Lazio with a humiliating score of 3-1.
And the mistake Lazio made was controlling the ball too often without making quick and sharp attacks like Feyenoord did.

And in the match between PSG vs AC Milan the current score is 2-0 and goals came from Kylian Mbappe in the 32nd minute and Randal Kolo Muani in the 53rd minute. And so far PSG have dominated the game and continue to attack AC Milan's defense and the Group F standings are indeed competitive because in the other match Dortmund is currently 0-1 ahead of Newcastle, and the current standings are PSG in first place, Dortmund second. Newcastle third and AC Milan fourth.

With the players PSG has but are still not performing well and they sign some new players this season that will make them play perfect game, it is better for them that they did not sell mbappe for other clubs they will be in difficult level this season because is the one that is still scoring many goals for them in the league, the coach needs to improve his skill because the players are not showing efforts in the matches that they can win, it is a shame for psg to let Newcastle defeated them 4_1 in the Champions League but they must perform well in their next match to qualify, they are playing well this night against Ac Millan leading 1_0 in the first half.


How PSG perform in the first half if they continue like that they will win the match because psg is playing them well the possession is reading 65% and 38% in the first half let see what happens in the second half of the game if Ac millan can do more better and score goals but he will be very difficult for them because they won't fuckup this term like they did against Newcastle because I didn't believe Newcastle has a better striker than psg this season but what am thinking is from the Psg coach they don't have a very talented coach like Manchester city and real madrid.

Feyenoord were slight favorites before the game (probably due to their Serie A status) but in fact they completely crushed Lazio. If now Celtic in the game with Atlético can bring the matter to victory, then this will be another group of death where everyone has a chance and in one round you can move from first place to 3rd place and vice versa.
There's nothing surprising about Barcelona's performance - they have a lot of games like this, and there were a lot of gut-wrenching games last season too, with narrow margins. That didn't stop them from winning La Liga. At these stages, none of this is important.

Dortmund is leading by a goal as the first half just ended, after several attempts they finally got a goal, Newcastle has shown so much resilience in this game as they in their last five games won four and drew on same with Dortmund as well they not share stats in their recent five games. Dortmund dominated with more goal attempts .

Newcastle has a major part of the ball possession and this first half was really not an easy one as both team have uncommon matching strength going by their style of play so far. I'm hopeful Newcastle may get a goal and end up sharing point with Dortmund but then it's very possible they exploit their home advantage enough to get a win, but then Dortmund may most likely step up their performance I'm the second half to hopefully secure a win

Both Maguire and Onana are great players and goal keeper respectively. What they're going through is normal and it can happen to any player. We all can tell how good and excellent Onana was in his former club but everything just changed suddenly against him. The only thing that can save a player from such situations is team support and encouragement from the fans too. The criticism, blame, ridicule and social media trolls will make things worse for them. Onana is a goalkeeper with great reflexes and agility. With time I believe he might change things and turn it around to become the best keeper he use to be. The good thing about Onana's case is that ETH still believes in him and that's a good way to keep supporting the guy until he turn things around.

Barcelona currently has a lot of talented players right now, Like Lamine he doesn't play like a 16yr old  in terms of his decision making on the pitch with the ball and his intelligence always make him the better player in the game. So with the talented trio  pool of  Lamine, Gavi and Pedri I had no doubt about Barcelona winning their game today toping the group with complete points.  I am having the feeling that this Barcelona team would likely get to  the finals of this season's  champion's league for they are just so exceptional coming against their opponent with all force they've got

Lazio isn't well this season to be precise. The defeat against Feyenoord was unexpected even though Feyenoord didn't lose any game yet in their domestic league.
For the moment in Group E, Celtic is in advance with 2 - 1 vs Atlético Madrid making Lazio hope present for qualification. This is just the result of the first half of course and things could change.

---

PSG 1 - 0 Milan in the first half, until now things are going smooth. Newcastle United 0 - 1 Dortmund, well I didn't expect that and I expect Newcastle to perform better in the second half.

Barcelona is on top of the game as they lead the group table with 9 points after this last match. Although, I was not gingered with their performance as I expected more from them due to the club they played with. I was expecting at least 4 goals from Barcelona today but it ended with just a one goal difference. I think all the clubs in the Champions league are acting tough. Which is impressive since even the big clubs cannot burst of wide margin victories.

I am predicting Porto and Barcelona to reach the round of 16 in this league. Well done Ter Stegen, Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez.


Mbappe has hit the net with the first goal as the match began. I thought it was not going to be this easy but the French striker made it easy to the club. I have the feeling that Giroud will create an equalizing goal for the AC Milan in the soonest.

It is too early to have Dembele and Hakimi take a yellow card at the first half, I don't think the manager will allow him to play this match to the end but they don't need to panic. If they can makemore goals they can win this match because a 1 - 0 isn't enough to count on with AC Milan.

AC Milan's desire right now will be to win this match so they can move up on the table but since they are playing away, it could be a bit different.

I don't think the victory shut down all the fans. If they are still unstable in the next game, then it's useless for this goal. Of course, the hope of Maguire and Onana fans can continue to perform well is not only in this match.
Maybe in the meantime fans will be grateful, but if later they go back wrong continuously, then the insults will continue. Because we know that many good are inferior to one bad. In this process it might be a good start to build the mentality of Man United players in the UCL.

I think Lazio has dropped form this season and Feyenoord are is good form this season scoring goals although I would not have played Feyenoord to win Lazio but I think they had the better chance to win.

But I am shocked about the Barcelona versus sharktar match, I think Barcelona weakness was exposed and they would have drawn the match, Barcelona is finding it hard to play football every match is becoming a struggle.

I always enjoy UCL football because it's entertaining and comes with competitive strengths from clubs. Often place wagers on these teams because there possible outcome is unpredictable, this is football and anything can happen. Watched the game between Feyenoord versus Lazio, and I'm disappointed to see my favorite side been thrashed, perhapes they will bounce back in returning leg. Feyenoord defeats Lazio 3-1 at home. The first half was 2 nil with the home team leading. There was nothing Lazio could do because they're away and appear weaker than expected.

Lazio came with a full squad but they failed to get points at home Feyenord, yes on other side Feyenord were better in that match. I also didn't think they could beat Lazio with a score of 3-1, but they showed a good game there. With the three points that Feyenord achieved, they currently have 6 points but also it is still not safe for them. Because to qualify from the group they have to win the last two or three matches, considering that the gap with Lazio is only 2 points.

Galatasaray gained an incredible attendance advantage against Bayern Munich. The crowd put incredible pressure against Bayern. It was impossible for Bayern Munich players to hear each other. Harry Kane also made some statements on this subject. At the end of the day, they won and that's why they're happy, but I don't know if Manchester United can win in this atmosphere, I'm not sure about that. We can say that the Galatasaray-ManU match will determine the team that will qualify from the group.

3 matches 9 points for winning 3 times and leading the group.
Barcelona won without the injured Lewandowski. The victory in the third group of the group and firmly as the group leader was very detrimental to Barcelona. Jaoa Felix adds to the list of Barcelona players who were injured.
There are not many stocking stocks left that can be played by Xavo for several different competitions this season.

Another match update, Newcastle is still draw against Dortmund. PSG is still in a draw against AC Milan.
Manchester City hasn't been able to score against Young Boys.
Celtic in a winning position against Atletico Madrid.

                        Newcastle United Vs borussia Dortmund

 The both team have been impressive with their performance in the first 25 minutes of the game.
There has been some really good saves done by both goal keepers.
Newcastle seems to be the favourite going by the fact that, they are the home team, but Dortmund have shown some real good threat.
Newcastle will feel the absence of isak after sustaining an injury in the first  few minutes of the game, it will definitely tell on Newcastle, because he has been on fire this past few weeks.

Ball possession is all good and nice, but PSG after almost 25 minutes wasn't able to have a single shot. I am not talking about shot on target, but so far they weren't able to play an attack until the end and shoot.

When you read the names of their attacking line it's crazy and hard to imagine how that is even possible when there is Mbappe, Dembele and Kolo Muani. This is, if they all play at their full potential and are all having a good day and are in great shape, one of the best attacking lines in football I think. I am wondering how they can play so innocuously.

PSG have good strikers, but this season they don't have a truly reliable midfielder. Warren Zaïre-Emery, Manuel Ugarte and Vitinha don't have a good mentality to organize PSG's attacks and play, but Luis Enrique seems to be able to take advantage of the advantages of other players to get a good shape from his game.

Luis Enrique needs a quality midfielder who also has good experience to lead his team's attack. Of course I'm not underestimating PSG's current midfield composition, but that's the reality. Regarding the match against Milan, they must win because this is a home match that they really have to take full advantage of.
