When we compare both teams, Bayern Munich are better than Galatasaray without a doubt and we can also see this when we look at the squad values, but football is played on the pitch and every match that is not played is open to surprises. In the match between Manchester United and Galatasaray, everyone saw Manchester United as the favorite but Galatasaray won at Old Trafford. If Bayern Munich don't take special precaution for Icardi, we could see another surprise result. He has been performing extremely well in recent games.

I do not actually know what happened to Manchester United in this season champions League but I have realised that Manchester United is not qualifying from the group match. It is first obvious that Bayern Munich has never failed to qualify from the champions League group match. So the one slot was off and the remaining slot was what Manchester United was supposed to fight for but they rather gave it to Galatasary

Galatasary will kindly go for draw but even if they are eventually beaten by Bayern Munich, they still have better chances than Manchester United. So they will certainly not be under big pressure to play the match.

That's not hard to predict Bayer Munich in this group with the current performance we see from other teams in the group. So far Galatasaray is the only team that performed a little bit better than other teams and they won four points in this game while Manchester United lost both games they had and so far Bayern Munic is far from the there other teams in this group.

After Robert Lewandowski left Bayern Munich, the club struggled last season as a result but since the club's management were able to sign England international Harry Kane to the club in the summer,  Bayern Munich has been performing incredibly.
Progressing to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League competition from a group that consists of teams like Manchester United, Galatasaray and Copenhagen, Bayern Munich are surely gonna win the group and progress to the next round of the competition. They have a double header against Galatasaray after the international break and I think Bayern are gonna maximize their chances in those two games and defeat the Turkish side

Even though I want to look forward to this match with Hakim Ziyech appearance when they face Bayern Munich. But unfortunately he suffered an injury which means he will miss this match. Even so, Galatasaray still has other players who have really impressed this season. Galatasaray have never been defeated in the Turkish Super League where they achieved 7 wins and one draw which made Galatasaray firmly at the top of the standings.

In the match against Bayern Munich, I think we cannot underestimate Galatasaray because their squad this season is really strong, especially since Mauro Icardi is in his best form because he is a player who is quite productive in scoring goals. So Bayern Munich is up against a strong team in the upcoming match and I think Galatasaray can surprise us all if they manage to beat Bayern Munich.

In the next match, Galatasaray will host Bayern Munich.  Despite being the host in the upcoming match, I still believe that Bayern Munich will be able to beat Galatasaray in front of their supporters. Indeed, in the previous match, Galatasaray showed their best strength after successfully beating Manchester United at Old Trafford stadium. However, Bayern Munich is one of the strongest teams in the Champions League so it will be quite difficult for Galatasaray to beat Bayern Munich.

It is certain that Bayern Munich will be chasing three consecutive wins in the Champions League when they travel to the Rams Park stadium to face Galatasaray. Tuchel will not waste the opportunity to achieve maximum results in every match because they really have quite good quality players this season so that will make them favorites in this match. The third match of the group phase will be at the end of this month so there is still plenty of time for both teams to prepare their best strengths for the next match.

I think Galatasaray would not have a chance with Bayern Munich, they only managed to win Manchester united and for me I don't think it was due to their strength, it was rather more of a lucky game for me than a deserving one so that shouldn't be used as substantial enough to think they are good to contend Munich to a win although I'm aware they are good in their domestic league but not enough to defeat Munich.

The German side would be playing from home and it will be after the international break so enough time to rest and come back even stronger, Galatasaray is really going to get it really difficult as their true strength is going to be tested as to how good they can be, tho they tried against Manchester united but I think it was because Manchester played poorly.

Manchester is het to recover from a series of crisis and injuries so it could be excused the lost to Galatasaray, now Galatasaray will be playing with a better team their strength will be tested better to see if it was the advantage of Manchester united weakness that got them the win or they were actually a better contender.

I think even though Galatasaray managed to win against Manchester United, it was very different when they played Bayern Munich. It will be very difficult for Galatasaray to win and it is even likely that they will lose against the German team. Galatasaray's advantage is that they were able to take 3 points from Manchester United in the previous match so that at this time they still have a good chance of qualifying from the group phase. Moreover, Galatasaray has collected 4 points so far, so even if they lose to Munich, they still have another chance when it is their turn to host Manchester United at their home ground and also later when they play away to Copenhagen. But I hope they can at least hold a draw in one of the matches against Bayern Munich so that their chances can still be maintained later.

Are they so perfect? And they struggled against Copenhagen?
They do not posses a perfect squad, I can agree with the defense and attackers but they don't have that same quality with the midfielder's.

They played better against Manchester United. But the could have still shared points if Manchester United had done better and enough.
I will give them credit for those two games won but they still have work to fix with these midfielder's.
There's still room for improvements. They don't look like favorites for this Champions League Competition.

Bayern Munich have a perfect squad. You won't find any weakness in this team. Their defense midfield and attack are equally strong. And they are consistently able to play well. The aim of this team is to secure the Champions League title this year. And with this goal, the team is slowly moving forward.

In the first two matches against Manchester United and Copenhagen, Munich's performances were very consistent. And they secured victory in both matches. Even if Galatasaray can win against Manchester United, they will beat a team like Bayern Munich, I don't think this team is that strong. If Munich doesn't make any big mistakes in this match, they can easily secure 3 points.

But it is crucial to keep in mind how Manchester United was able to make the cut for the Champions League qualification last season. On the one hand they played better when it was later in the season and they had good results and collected points accordingly. But more importantly, some of the usual favorites had problems and did not collect points, which is what ultimately gave Manchester United the edge to make it into the Champions League. I assume they would not have been able to qualify for it if all other teams played to the best of their abilities. Tottenham and Liverpool were both far below their standards and not to mention Chelsea here, but that is almost a different story by now.

Considering that it's the group stage I don't think it's that important, because Bayern will get out of the group anyway and a win over Galatsaray has only a small impact. But I wouldn't make any predictions about the final so early, we don't know what kind of opponents they will have

Yep, we agree. Galatasaray's match against Bayern Munich, Tuchel will continue to target victory for his team in order to remain safe in first place in the group phase. they won't play safe, I mean playing Bayern's second tier players. At this meeting, victory at Galatasaray headquarters was a result that Kane and his teammates had to take home. and if I refer to their match in the Bundesliga, the team they will be playing against is actually not a strong team for them to beat before these two teams meet on matchday 3 of the Champions League group phase.
IMO, Tuchel seems to be targeting victory after victory in this group phase, both home and away, including against Galatasaray on matchday 3 of the Champions League group phase.

Well, talking about Galatasaray, it is not impossible that they will give resistance to Bayern Munich in the next match. Moreover, the match will be held at Rams Park Stadyumu, Galatasaray's home ground. Armed with the fact that they have been able to overthrow Manchester United, the squad coached by Okan Buruk has great motivation to provide the best resistance when they host Bayern Munich later. playing in front of their own fans, is a big motivation for them. It's just that Bayern Munich is not Manchester United who are currently experiencing problems in their camp. I remain optimistic, Bayern will progress smoothly in the group A phase.

Bayern Munchen and Galatasaray have both managed to beat Man United, the third Matchday match between Galatasaray versus Munchen will confirm their position at the top of Group A. Looking at the current performance both of them are in good condition, but Munchen with all its superior attributes is very worthy of being superior, and Munchen will be difficult to tackle even though Galatasaray will act as hosts.

Tuchel should be wary of hosts Galatasaray, because after all surprises and anything can still happen. On the other hand, Man United will try to improve the situation by getting points from the match against Copenhagen. It is clear that second place in Group A is a realistic target between Galatasaray and Man United at this time.

Bayern are having the best of times. They are playing very steadily and I even think they can reach the Champions League final. Although Galatasaray are also playing well both away and at home. But I think it will be an easy game for Bayern. Galatasaray are strong in the Turkish League, but Bayern are much stronger.

Even though Bayern Munich have got a comfortable place at the top of group A standings but of course, this position will not make Bayern Munich will give a winning result to Galatasaray. Because after all, competition in the group phase is also still in the first leg and of course, there will still be a second leg later and that way, then of course the winning result will still be the main target for Bayern Munich when playing against Galatasaray later . But yes, at least it is true, that Galatasaray victory over Manchester United cannot be used as a reference for Galatasaray to beat Bayern Munich too. Because after all, the quality of Bayern Munich and Manchester United is also certainly different, so we cannot assume Galatasaray has a chance to beat Bayern Munich.

Although they can win this match, but to say that their mentality will change in the next match to a winning mentality I don't think I can easily say that. I don't deny that this result is good for them, but they also have to show a more promising game for me to say they have a winning mentality. Moreover, I think we can agree that this victory was a victory that was closely related to luck.
Manchester United are not that good of a club with a winning mentality. Especially they are in the Premier League which we know is a very competitive league. No matter weak and strong clubs meet but surprises will always be there.

It seems inconsistent in the league actually makes Man United less confident when playing in the Champions League, moreover they have received two successive defeats in the Champions League. Losing against Galatasaray at home can have a big impact because you lose the opportunity to get full points and if you play at your opponent's home ground it will definitely be much more difficult to get full points. Man United must appear consistent in the remaining matches and must achieve a complete victory if they want to qualify for the next phase.

In the Premier League Man United made a pretty good comeback when facing Brentford at home because they won the match in additional minutes through two goals from McTominay. If this moment can continue, the possibility of Man United will appear far more stable in the coming matches and Antony's presence can have a good impact on the current squad.

Manchester United are really lucky to win the game because the first half was not easy with them, I never expected them to win Brentford because it was so challenging for them to perform well. Mctominay was the man of the game,  I think this victory can change the mentality of Manchester United to have that winning mentality in their next game. Manchester United was lucky in the game because many people had already lose hope in the  game.

Manchester United has experienced decline in performance in the last few seasons but when Ten Hag was appointed as the new coach for Manchester United all of us fans hoped that there would be big changes that Ten Hag could bring to Manchester United.
Maybe what you imagine is easy by finding out and fixing it but actually it is not that easy because there are several errors that may not yet be clearly visible and the way to solve them has not been found.
Just look Ten Hag has tried to replace several players with young players but all of this has not provided any significant changes or developments for the Manchester United squad.
Who knows what they will do in the future but Ten Hag and the team management must immediately improve if they want to survive longer for UCL because here there are very strong teams in every league that are difficult for Manchester United.
