Manchester United beat Copenhagen 1-0 with a goal scored by Harry Maguire. And Manchester United got their first win of this season in the UEFA Champions League. Andre Onana saved a penalty to rescue Manchester United’s slim Champions League hopes against FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford. The result revives United’s hopes of progressing to the last-16 after starting their campaign with back-to-back defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray in Group A.

Almost all the matches this time were completely in line with most people's predictions. Inter Milan can also win the match quite well. And currently Inter Milan is in 2nd place in Group D. Because Real Sociedad also won the 3rd match this time. Inter and Real Sociedad both have 7 points at the moment. And it looks like these two clubs will be able to qualify from the group stage without any significant problems.

Napoli were also able to win the match even though they seemed to be playing without their mainstay striker, V.Osimhen. But in fact they still showed quite impressive performance.

Galatasaray played well today, they were actually better if we look at the stats. They have done their best but Bayern Munich is in the other level. Bayern Munich showed that they were stronger in the second half. Although Galatasaray created more shot attempts, but Bayern Munich played more effectively. In the second half, Bayern Munich scored 2 goals to secure 3 points in this match. The final score: Galatasaray 1 vs 3 Bayern Munich.

Yep. Tuchel feels unsatisfied with Bayern performance in the first half, that's why he changed the tactic in the second half. Bayern Munich played more offensively in the second half, they may play too defensively in the first half. Sure, if they played like in the first half, it is difficult for Bayern Munich to dream winning the title. But they showed us that they have the quality as one of the favorite teams to win UCL in the second half. So, I assume Bayern has the ability to be champion.  

Somehow I'm not totally convinced by Bayern Munich. I know that they'll top their group, winning ever match if possible but I don't see them as winners of this champions league.
They were outplayed by Galatasaray in the first half and assuming they were not so waste, they could have won the match.
If it was a big and clinical team Bayern player against,  I don't think the score line will be in favor of Bayern.
Tuchel's playing style as a coach has never really impressed me. I guess we just have to wait and see how things turn out for Bayern.

Well I think Galatasaray would lose both home and away to Bayern Munich, if the scoreline at home was 1-3 then I wonder what they'll play when they meet Bayern Munich at their home ground, well they might beat Copenhagen but probably draw against Manchester United,chances of finishing top 2 lies in a victory against united but it's not going to be easy cause United would be playing them with a full squad cause by then most injured 1st starters might have returned.

 Well United are currently beating Copenhagen 1-0, though it took them long for score but it was a fine cross from Christian Eriksen to Harry Maguire that's put them ahead currently, well all hope is not lost and they need to protect their goal or add more,cause if they win this match it would boost their morale to win again their next championship game, for them to qualify for the next round they need to win Copenhagen again with a revenge win against Galatasaray to get 9 points and probably draw against Bayern Munich.

Sevilla has scored 1 goal to catch up with Arsenal's 2 goal deficit. The temporary score is 1-2 in favor of Arsenal, but Sevilla doesn't seem to have given up on avoiding home defeat today. Moreover, this is a crucial match for Sevilla, who previously only drew two matches. They are trying to win this match, but of course Arsenal in my opinion have a good defense to prevent that.

Real Madrid also still has a 1-2 lead over Braga, but it looks like Real Madrid is too good to be expected to be able to maintain their lead. Real Madrid could have drawn this match if they did not have good concentration when defending, this is clear because Braga has good abilities when building attacks. I can't say it's safe for Real Madrid to win this match even though the game is almost over, but of course their chances of winning are very high.

Erik Ten Hag men impressing their supporters at Old Trafford, this time they're in for the best results. United are winning, that's basically how an EPL team plays. They're in their best peak in the game, I'm not frightened because I'm confident the Red Devils will win the game. Manchester United winning Copenhagen 1 nil in 88th minutes of second half. There's alot of actions to watch, with both sides striving harder to net a goal. Manchester United keeping the game under pressure while Copenhagen is absorbing the energy and bouncing back to secure a draw tie.

Easy win for Inter.

The second group of matches is going to end with not a single big surprise.

Let's see if the final 15 minutes gives us something.

That was without a doubt a risky bet, as even if I think Galatasaray did a better job than what I expected and kept the game close, it should have been obvious that Bayern Munich could get the win since right now they are looking to be in great shape, however Galatasaray still has good chances to move forward as both Manchester United and Copenhagen are playing and they both need a win to still have some chances for fighting for the second spot of group A, right now Manchester United is winning the game which means the critical match that could decide who moves forward will be played at Istanbul, the home of Galatasaray.

It's hard to imagine if this match will end in a draw let alone lose then it is very concerning for Man United.
Their game appears as usual it should be able to catch up with the current points if they only end up in a draw then in my opinion there is no chance for Man United to qualify, I don't know what happened to Erik Ten Hag's tactics a little weak and can't close more tightly for his attack.

Arsenal currently has a score of 2 goals, this is sure to win Arsenal even though it looks interesting match, not the slightest doubt Arsenal even though yesterday's round had to lose to Lens but Arteta's troops can still get up and prove to win again on the road.

Yeah Madrid managed to secure the first half but in the second half Sporting Braga could not be underestimated because they will continue try to attack and 9 shots in the first half are proof they haven't given up, in several shot attempts maybe one of them will be a goal who knows right? we know Madrid is a tough opponent but sometimes luck can come at the last minute. The same for Arsenal they are not safe even though they are one goal ahead Sevilla could have turned things around because they are playing at home I mean, they have an advantage and can do something unexpected. Meanwhile, in other matches there were no goals we are still waiting for Manchester United, Napoli and PSV to do it.

Even though I know Galatasaray can play very well, I have always believed that Bayern Munich will defeat Galatasaray. If Galatasaray were to defeat Bayern Munich, I believe it would be a lucky game because even from a team performance, you could tell that Bayern Munich is superior to Galatasaray. However, I must admit that when Galatasaray equalised against Bayern Munich and the score was even at 1-1, I was shocked because that team occasionally plays a defensive game when winning. However, I still recall that Bayern Munich was not the team that Galatasaray defeated, which was Manchester United.

Even though I am aware that the champion league has not advanced as much as I would like, I believe in Bayern Munich's performance in the champion league because the team always gives it their all no matter what league they play in, especially now that they have acquired a good striker player like Kane. Now they will be able to score goals with greater frequency and will be able to compete against teams with better striker.

Manchester united has been very very disappointing considering the fact that they don't have any point and they are playing at home. secondly the managers preferential treatment on players like rashford & Bruno Fernandes will do the team no good but anyways I hope the manager comes with a better tactics second half.

Arsenal have been great in their game in the first half despite playing away they still manage to lead with a 1-0 in the first 45mins, if they can continue with the energy in the second half they definitely going to win this game.

Gabriel Jesus wonderful pass to Martinelli gave Arsenal the best opportunity to net the post. Martinelli, gradually excorted the ball in the middle of two Sevilla defender and dribbled the goalkeeper and superbly finished the ball into the next. A marvelous way to end the first half. Sevilla really tried in the first half but they lost their opportunities they had. The second half will determine what will be the outcome of the game, whether Sevilla will equalise the goal or Arsenal will score more goals.

Real Madrid team is having a good game by winning 1-0 in the first half away from home, a goal from Rodrygo through Vinicius cross give them the lead ahead of the host Sporting Braga. The match is still hot because the home team is still sowing confidence despite the pressure from Real Madrid.

Manchester United vs Copenhagen, Union Berlin vs SSC Napoli, Lens vs PSV, and Benfica vs Sociedad match an ended in a goalless draw in the first half.

Arsenal were lucky to get a win in the last minute of the added time before the half time whistle, but their match is interesting to watch as both teams are in need of points.

What a defensive mistake by Sevilla that led to them conceding a goal in the last minute of the first half after all that good work the in defense from both sides. This time, a beautiful counter attack from Arsenal and Martinelli face to face with the goal keeper isn’t the one that can miss. The first half we didn't see much action, and it seemed like both teams were playing cautiously and safely both knowing the importance of the points in this match.

But now, after Arsenal scored, I believe we will watch a shift in gameplay and tactics. They say the second half is for the coaches, so Sevilla will now play to equalize, so surely creating more opportunities for Arsenal. Let's see which team take this important 3 points.

Actually I was a bit scared when Galatasaray first scored a goal and they were on an offensive attacking pattern so for a moment I taught Bayern would have to struggle to get a win because Galatasaray is on an equalizer and they aswell have the home advantage, so I was nursing some level of doubt for a moment but it wasn't long in the early minutes of the second half Bayern got a second goal which restored all hope again

It was after Harry Kane scored the second goal been assisted by musiala I knew Bayern was definitely getting a win out of this and nothing less, I further became even more confident after Harry Kane assisted musiala to get the third goal, then I knew there was no going back for Munich as they are definitely getting a win with the complete three points, iys really Interesting how Harry Kane and musiala assisted each other to get a goal, it was a deserving win for Munich and I must say Galatasaray played so we'll aswell but they had a better contender who as well was having a good day lol.

At first I thought the same as you Munich could win easily but after seeing how Galatasaray played in the first half then my doubts came because Galatasaray really dominated in the first half and the penalty was not a coincidence they get it through great effort, but unfortunately in the second half Galatasaray's game was no better than the first half and Bayern Munich took the opportunity when they counter-attacked until finally managed to score 2 more goals. overall I wouldn't say Galatasaray played badly they have played well but luck is not on their side, now we are waiting for the results of the match between Manchester United vs Copenhagen we know Manchester will be Galatasaray competitor for 2nd place.

the result of the match between Galatasaray vs Bayern Munich, exactly according to what I predicted in the previous post.  If this match, it will end with a score of 1-3. and yep, Bayern won the match as I predicted. unfortunately, the match didn't go according to my expectations. in the first half, after Bayern took the lead in the 8th minute scored by Kingsley Coman.
Bayern Munich really played underperformance, they made many mistakes in the midfield sector. It seems that Thomas Tuchel's squad is under pressure. especially, after Galatasaray equalized from a penalty shot in the 30th minute which was executed by Icardi. After that, Bayern really played a game that was far from expectations.

Fortunately, in the second half, Bayern started to play a little better again. in fact, it was quieter than the first half. especially, after Kane scored in the 73rd minute. At the same time, Galatasaray tried to equalize the score. Unfortunately, in the second half, Bayern's game was better so Galatasaray had difficulty playing like in the first half. which ultimately caught their defense a little off guard, and Jamal Musiala extended their victory to 1-3.
As a result, Bayern Munich confirmed their position as leaders of Group A with 9 points. and my prediction scenario, according to the final result of this match.

Talking about confidence, Bayern Munich comes out first because they're strong and eligible to win major trophies. When it comes to Bayern Munich, there's absolutely no team in there group that would be able to match the same level of energy with them. Thomas Tuchel knows basically the strategies to implies on his players, he doesn't disappoint and portrayed good results for the team. Galatasaray did their best to hold Bayern Munich at tough point but failed to consistently defend their territory, the Bavarians invaded so easily, why is that? It's simple, Bayern Munich frontlines are competitive and pose a big threat to their every opponent they face.
