Manchester United are very far from their best, but they would take the win in anyway it came, now that they finally got their first points of this season's CL, they have to improve before their subsequent games against Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Bayern Munich respectively.

Having said that, Bayern Munich were of course expected to top the group, and like you said, second spot is now between United and Galatasaray, United has 3 points, whilst Galatasaray has 4 points, so it is so tight and the both teams have to pick up vital points in the next three games if they are to go through.

Shaktar just scored against Barcelona and that makes the first goal concede from Barca during this season of UCL and by the way the game looks , Shaktar could score again and equalize at 2.

PSG - Milan should be game of the night and I might say Milan have a decent chance to actually win but before they need to score  because they are still looking for 1st goal after 2 games played which is not great at all for them.

The game against Sevilla was extremely difficult; in fact, any team playing against Sevilla this season will know that they are up against a formidable team that demands skill and strategy from its opponents. However, Arsenal gave it their all because, in my opinion, it would be extremely difficult for them to score a goal in the second half if they did not score against Sevilla in the first half. Arsenal wins 2-0 to calm sevilla down and win the match, so even though they get a goal back, I don't think they can beat Arsenal again with the two goals arsenal have score.

The thing that I like best about Sevilla players is that they are very strong and skilled at playing defence. However, if Sevilla's opponent wins, that's when they will have more strength to play again. I say this because I've watched Sevilla play against both Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Sevilla is very difficult for Real Madrid and Barcelona to defeat. Real Madrid eventually draws the match, and also thanks to an own goal for the Barcelona to win against sevilla in laliga league.

Yes that's right. This is the most awaited match tonight, because this match will determine whether they can stay in the UCL league or whether they will fail to qualify for the next round. The two coaches certainly had to rack their brains in this match, it could be said that tonight apart from a war of player skill, this match was also a war of strategy between two great coaches.

This match is even more interesting, apart from the meeting of the Hernandez brothers, there is also a reunion of PSG goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, with Milan. In the first match Donna managed to keep a clean sheet against Dortmund, but then conceded four goals against Newcastle. It will be interesting to see what kind of performance he will show against his former club later?

It seems quite difficult for AC Milan to reduce the points in the match because with the full support of the Psg supporters they will appear to attack, of course PSG will not waste the opportunity in the match later. There are several PSG players who are still injured and this is a tough job for the coach to arrange the composition in each line. Ac Milan is famous for its strong defensive concept with a 4-2-3-1 formation, which will make it difficult for PSG to control the ball in the midfield in the match. Later. I predict PSG will win narrowly 1-0 against AC Milan.

An easy result to predict I guess, as it is basically impossible for Galatasaray to beat Bayern Munich. Therefore, I have said that Bayern Munich will still be the group winners. So yes, then it will be a competition between Galatasaray and Manchester United for the runner-up position. Although indeed, I also believe at least Manchester United still have a chance to be able to finish as runner up but with a note, Manchester United must successfully defeat Galatasaray also in the second leg later.

Barcelona did not experience serious problems in this match, because Shaktar Donetsk did not provide an interesting match. Maybe that's why, this time Barcelona is not the favorite in our discussion on the third matchday in the Group H phase. Referring to the course of the match in the first half, technically Barcelona was much better than the opposing team. In fact, Xavi rotated his two defenders who he might prepare for the El Clasico match. Likewise with the statistics of these two teams, Barcelona had 9 total shots, 4 of which were on target, 3 were big opportunities. while Shaktar Donetsk, only had 1 shot, and even that was off target. they struggle and never even have a big chance.
In this match, Ferran Torres opened his team's lead, followed by Fermin Lopez's second goal and the first half was over.

To be honest, the match wasn't that interesting for me to enjoy, even though my favorite team was ahead in the first half. There is a possibility that Barcelona can add to their goals again in the second half. If this match ends with Barcelona winning, it means that they have won 3 of their matches smoothly in the Group H phase. In fact, they have never conceded, including in this match even though it is not over yet.

In another match, Feyenoord led 2-0 over Lazio in the first half. For this match, I didn't watch it.  However, it seems that the second half of this match will be even more exciting.  because Lazio certainly wants to catch up with them.
Well, let's follow the second half begins.

Allow Manchester United to celebrate. Take a look at how Maguire single handedly head ball that lead to a goal for Manchester United, this was his first goal for the season after a long break of last season with poor performance and making his team vulnerable that made them loss, you remember some of the own goals he did back then right. In the last previous match before this, he did well and become the man of the match and now this week again, no he deserved an accolades for been a new leaf to the team.

Onana on their hand isn't too different from Maguire, his  terrible performance is the reason why they have not stand firm in the Champions League but he did a justice in the final minute of that match to save a penalty that game them +3 point to come close to Galatasaray. Now they need to put small effort in the remaining 3 matches to stay ahead of Galatasaray otherwise, they will be relegated to playoff in the Europa League.

Before start of this event mostly were feeling this is group of the death but after having two rounds now opinion is completely changed with the performance of the few teams like Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan which are performing under average and PSG having some chance for the improvement with their performance is going good in last few matches.

Today most chances we will have Newcastle Untied and PSG as the favorite teams and if they are able to secure points then surely we will have them for the next rounds as well because Dortmund is surely needed to increase their performance with after having one lost and draw and AC Milan is also going with two points after having two draws which are surely not acceptable at this level.

Emphatic performance from Barcelona in the first half. They have dominated the game from the start and could have easily been more than two goals ahead at the break. Fermin missed a couple of chance but made up with a beautiful strike from the edge of the box.
If they finish strong it will be a huge boost for the El classico this weekend.

Feynoord also are leading by two goals to nil. If they hold on to the end it will do them a lot of good in the battle to qualify from that group.

I'm not sure where you get that kind of information, but check out the line-up Barcelona have today for the match against Shakhtar Donetsk, Marc Guiu is on the bench. I think you also didn't check much information about this match before you wrote something, anyway correct the typo for the two players you mentioned.

Barcelona took a 2-0 lead in the first half through goals from Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez. They were a little boring at the start of the first half, but the tempo of the game became more interesting after the first 20 minutes. Joao Felix, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal played well in the first half, but maybe this was also because Shakhtar's performance was too bad. Anyway, Barcelona might have won this match, I don't doubt that after watching the first half.

There is too much talk about this match with no doubt Galatasaray is improved side with having good control in Turkish league, but sadly they are still not good enough for holding team like Bayern Munich which is one of the best in UEFA with their available sources and quality of the game when we have end of the first half things were looking good for them as they have their first goal through penalty but suddenly in second half we have problems for them which hurt them badly, and they were not able to stand against Bayern Munich.

Now, still chances with the Galatasaray for the going into second round because they have chance against Manchester United at home and Copenhagen on road, but they need to work on their quality as well which is quite important for having better results in Champions League.

Two most hater persons suddenly hero's for the Manchester United fans as both done impressive job in last night game against Copenhagen as things were going for another poor result for them at Old Trafford, but now things are having good change, and we can expect good performance in coming days as well which will be good for the club as well.

Now Manchester United is on three matches winning streak in all competitions, and they are going to host Manchester City for the derby game on 29th October hopefully this confidence will help them in this match and for the second leg game against Copenhagen which is going to play on 9th November at Copenhagen which is also very important for the Manchester United if they want to go through into second round of the Champions League.

Marc gulu won't play caused by he was participated in the world cup u 17 and i do aware if xavi has made some rotations by changing felix as a right winger and put torrest as a central striker. This is not a good combination but i can understand that if ferran torrest has been experience to play as a striker compared with felix at this moment. The game is starting now and barcelina is likel dominating the ball possession. Donestk may only able to defense and rely upon counter attack by the club.


Im feeling if newcastle will face difficulty to beat dortmund without tonalli. I saw tonalli as someone who had unlimited stamina. He was always running without even feeling exhausted.
It's a common thing to see newcastle may struggle to beat dortmund without tonalli.

Congratulations to Manchester United the actually won although I still think they are shaky and would need to do more. Bayern Munich also out classed Galatasaray and I think the group winner is already settled and now Manchester United and Galatasaray would have to fight for that position although I think Manchester United might just slightly edge Galatasaray in that struggle.

For the Barcelona v Shakhtar match I think that it will be a quite one-sided game. Shakhtar aren't in good condition now I'm afraid. They lost to Porto home by 3-1 before as well. I can see only Antwerp that they can defeat and have already done it once.    Lewandowski is still injured but I don't doubt Barcelona attacking line in this match. Joao Felix should be able to put a solid effort into the match for the win.

When it comes to Feyenoord v Lazio it is such a tough match to predict. Feyenoord are quite favoured by bookies but I think these are very close teams at the moment. Maybe it is hard to pick a side but I think both teams will score here.

The match between Barcelona vs Shakhtar will start soon. Barcelona lost so many important players for this match due to injuries and also the accumulation of cards. Kounde, Pedri, De Jong, Roberto, Gavi, Raphinha and Lewandowski are the names of their main absentees, but Barcelona still seems to have a good squad to hope for a home win.

Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Joao Felix must make a good impact in this home game and continue to maintain the winning trend. Barcelona must be able to lock their ticket to the last 16 more quickly than other teams in the same group, meaning they must win every match, including this one.

Newcastle vs Dortmund is one game I really want to see today, the odds are in favour of Newcastle, they happen to be the bookies favourite for this game today, they are at home and in the premier league, they have lost three games , draw two and wom the remaining five out of ten games played so far int he premier league they are not doing too bad at the top of their group with four points in the UCL

Dortmund has just one point in the UCL but in their domestic league they are doing just well, I hope they will bring same performance to the UCl maybe they would be at the second position but let's see how well they would participate in this game against Newcastle, if they would be able to steal a point from Newcastle at home or Newcastle will take the full points and maintain their position at the top.i think it's going to be a tough one for both team as Newcastle needs to be sure they are proceeding to the next stage of the league and Dortmund aswell needs to move from below the group.

I hope so, but the decision was final. Zaniolo is also potentially to get the same problem like tonally. I think that we have not yet seen some cases that being be undiscovered by the investigators but it's likely we will be seeing more players to be involved in the gambling scandal.
This is a very bad for tonally caused by he will be obviously missing a chance to play after an official statement for his ban has already released. Even though it was still less than 1 year but 10 months are long enough in the football.

We are at the middle of season. That means if tonalli will be able to play at the end of next year.

I really cant belive what Tonally said, for me is not completly true, i dont want to judge hm but for me is not 100% true, for me is something more behind, like mafia behind bets, we know in Italy is common. Sadly for him anyways.
