So much pressure on Man United.
Inter have better and more solid condition of their other players, especially their defense which is quite good, so the goalkeepers will also be helped to optimize their ability to save the goal from various attacks. But here, it's not just pressure from high expectations for him, but support from The other players, especially in the back line, are also not good enough. Man United's defeat to Galatasarray was indeed sad. Moreover, they also played quite aggressively, but the accuracy and effectiveness of their attacks were not good. And Galatasarray's defense is quite good this time. Moreover, after Casemiro received a red card, their strength dropped quite drastically and this became an opportunity for Galatasarray to add a goal.

Ah, this time I was really bad at predicting several matches that were held today, the three matches that I predicted completely missed. Manchester United and Arsenal, missed what I previously predicted. even though, their opponent was not a very strong team. United took the lead in the 17th minute, but it didn't take long for Galatasaray to equalize the position. and the goal scored by Wilfried Zaha is Onana's weak point, he will have difficulty saving high balls like that.

In the second half, I chose to watch Arsenal. In this match too, the team representatives from the English league did not play with their best performance. After G.Jesus scored, Lens equalized and the goal was created purely from David Raya's mistake when providing a long pass which was utilized well by the Lens players. Lens scored the second goal, also due to a mistake from the Gunners defenders. They were careless and fell back too far, allowing Elye Wahi to move freely, which he finally used to score a goal. In the end, two of the Premier League club representatives fell to their opponents.
Now, United is at the bottom of Group A. In contrast to Arsenal, PSV and Sevilla ended in a draw with a score of 2-2. In the end, Arsenal was in second place in the group phase. In the second leg, like it or not, Arsenal will have to beat Lens. Also, knock out other opponents if you want to stay safe in this group phase.

Another one, Napoli vs Real Madrid. This match is not as bad or as bad as the predictions of the two teams I mentioned above. Even though I predict the match will end in a draw, I speculate for betting that both teams will score goals. and yes, the match ended with a score of 2-3. The goal created by Vini Jr was purely due to the carelessness of the Napoli players and Madrid were finally able to equalize. Madrid's 3rd goal was quite cool from Valverde's long-range shot, even though the goal was claimed to be an own goal from the goalkeeper. and yep, an unlucky day for me. but this is a gamble, not always what we predict is what we hope. Tomorrow, we still have an exciting match to look forward to.

Manchester United management still retains Ten Hag as manager. Today, Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk gave a lesson to Ten Hag. I think United management were too late to fire the manager. The mistakes made by the United goalkeeper cause his team to fall behind. There is Altay Bayındır as the backup goalkeeper and we cannot see him in the squad yet. I think Altay will take over the scoring after this match. It's also time for Ten Hag to be fired.

Galatasaray managed to beat Manchester United 3-2 despite missing a penalty. Manchester United played a terrible game at home. Manchester United, which used to be a big team, has now become a simple team for the Champions League.

This was supposed to be an easy game for the Red Devils but it turned they started on the wrong foot. It's quite embarrassing to watch Galatasaray record a thrilled victory at Old Trafford this season, leaving United confused and frustrated. The Red Devils angrily exiting the stadium and coming online to pour out their mind. Erik Ten Hag should not be the only one to be blamed, rather concerns should be among united players especially Diogo Dalot and André Onana are the reasons United conceded. Manchester United defeated again, lost two UCL games in a row.

Such an amazing night! As a fan of Galatasaray, tonight was so good. Galatasaray win against United at United's home. It's very happiness Manchester lost at home, the already have no point in the group. Today, Zaha, Kerem and Icardi scored. Icardi missed a penalty but scored 3 minutes later. Casemiro's red card and penalty was the right decision.

The way I see the game is as if they lost deliberately to get them for their weekend game against Man City. I was quite disappointed that they'd lose to Lens because if you watched the game, you'd see how dominant and in control of the ball they were. Arsenal have a problem of being too confident and it was that lapse in judgement that made them underestimate Lens and the French outfit went and scored, countering on a mistake from the Gunners keeper, David Raya.
 Man City are not going to spare any chance for Arsenal when they pay a visit to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and if the Gunners mean to secure three points, they'd need to do two things at a time, tighten their defenses and match Man City attack for attack.

Onana was definitely at fault for the penalty but aside that i wouldn’t blame him to be honest. Where the hell was the center backs for the three goals. The first two goals came after Manchester United we’re ahead this thing happened against Arsenal also. A team is always vulnerable immediately they scored and united weren’t paying attention to that. I will say this to Manchester United fans, Onana can never be the kind of Cat Degea was, and if Manchester United do not have center backs that can hold on to the ball then this is the beginning of many goals. Onana last season was just comfortable with the ball but right now he is under pressure and that is what playing for a big club like Manchester United brings

The game actually went well and most of the players especially HoJlund and the midfield guys played well. The worst players on the pitch today were Bruno and Rashford. Both of them were poor in decision making and that affected the team. Ten Hag needs to have a ball because Bruno had to go for Erickson in the match and not Hannibal.

Both teams drew 2-2 and they shared the points for this match. I almost believed Sevilla could win the game when Youssef En-Nesyri scored, but Jordan Teze's late goal denied Sevilla the 3 points, I think that's what you meant at the end.


This was a bad day for Manchester United who could have scored 3 points, but their defense was too bad and this was also due to several mistakes by their players. Onana is one of them, but Manchester United's defense seems to have problems.

Such an amazing night! Who could have thought that Galatasaray would manage to beat Manchester United away?  

I can't say Manchester United were too bad as a team. The problem for them was related to Onana completely. Because he literally handed over the win to Galatasaray with that wrong pass. Right after that Mertens was really smart to get that penalty and red card later on. Maybe Icardi missed the penalty but made up for it with a lovely chip goal.

I believe that Galatasaray completely deserved this win by 3-2. They showed a great character during the whole match and never gave up on the match. They were always ready to answer their opponent with a goal.

The good news amidst the bad news is that Manchester United can be confident that they have a striker in Rasmus Hojlund, he was able to score two goals, more confidence for him, as I am sure he will start scoring in the premier league soon.

Bad news for Arsenal because Arteta ignoring the fitness of Saka still chose to start him in this game and now they have lost him to injuries and he may not play in their very important game this coming weekend against Manchester City who lost last week and will not want to loose again to Arsenal. It will be a challenge for the coach, but he needs to start trusting Nelson as he did for Nketiah.

Machester united have continue in their poor performance and I don't think that this season will be a food season for Eric Ten Hag, because he has decided not to make things work out in his decisions and his coaching techniques. Tonight defeat was from the defense and Onana, if you watch the match, ypu will see how porous the defense is, to the extent that the moment Manchester United score, the next minutes Galaxatara will equalise the goal.

Onana has become a major problem to Manchester United because of over confidence that he has in him, this has led to his poor performance. It is better that Onana stays on the bench for some time so that he will come back to his senses when he has misses some matches. Maybe this will help him become more serious. Manchester united has lost three consecutive matches back to back, two in EPL and this one in the champions league. Which isn't a good record for a big club like Manchester United.

Galatasaray Manchester match was very competitive. Manchester United were playing great, especially until the moment Casemiro was sent off, but a red card upset all the balance and Ten Hag suffered an unexpected defeat. I'm sure they will have a hard time against Galatasaray in front of their fans in the rematch.

The match between Napoli and Real Madrid was really very tight, both seemed very even. However, on the one hand, Napoli has slightly better attack accuracy. However, after this very tough match, Napoli ultimately had to submit to Real Madrid due to their own mistakes. OG put Real Madrid ahead in the 78th minute. This is certainly very suffocating for Napoli because they have actually tried their best, at least achieving a draw. But because of OG, they failed.
Real Madrid won from Napoli 2 - 3

Copenhagen's resistance to Bayern Munich was quite strong. Even Copenhagen's struggle for the ball was able to make things difficult for Bayern. On the other hand, they play quite well at attacking each other. Initially I thought that the match would end in a draw if it continued like that. However, in the 83rd minute, Mathys Thel made a surprise with his goal which put Bayern ahead until the end.

Galatasaray got a very important 3 points. Icardi missed a penalty but scored 3 minutes later.
Carlos Casemiro's red card was the right decision.
We watched a very enjoyable and exciting game. I hope Galatasaray will continue to play like this.
We are now in 2nd place in the group with 4 points, Bayer Munich is the leader.
M.United is in last place with 0 points.

What happened to Onana.

He was such a great goalkeeper the last year with Inter.

Real Madrid won although it was really tough on them as they were playing away ant the host team aswell needed to secure three points because it's very important to keep them in the league but then Madrid was a better side for tonight game so the successfully got a win and secure the three points as that's what matters the most regardless of how difficult they had to get it.

Manchester united did failed again today after all the efforts the did put in and it's very sad they lost at home, the already have no point in the group and this win was very important for them to get a chance to probably stay in the league but with this loss they have a very shaking stay at the UCL it's very sad that they had to suffer two losses in a row.

Arsenal lost and it was very disappointing even in the game we could see them struggle to get possession and especially score goals, they literally managed to get a goal but sadly couldn't secure a point from today's game, the second day of the UCL has been really surprising as expectations were brought low and most high hopes dashes away, let's hope day three gets better.

I was also thinking the same thing because even though Madrid played away in this match but I did not hesitate a bit with the decision to bet at odds of 2.65 for Madrid before kick off which in the end this made an advantage for me.

For PSV and Sevilla somehow the last 10 minutes were more interesting than expected because in the last 10 minutes PSV tried to be more aggressive and the result was very good because with them appearing all out in the remaining little time they got 1 point in this match. Although at first I felt it was Sevilla's to lose as De Jong's penalty goal was paid for 1 minute later by En-Nesyri but in the end Jordan Teze's goal gave Sevillla 3 points.

Well I guess we were right dear @Marykeller. Even that I feel sorry for this match double. Firstly watching how Manchester United lost today tells us that they need to recalculate everything with the coach and players. The other unfortunate thing is that I missed betting on Galatasaray because to be honest I just thought it would be a waste of money and too risky bet.

---

On the bright side I didn't cashout my two bets on Real Madrid before the game ended because it was on my mind to do since both teams were attacking and playing well making it difficult to predict who would score next. Napoli managed to draw and comeback with a penalty just 6 minutes into the second half while they showed better performance than in the first half. Still it wasn't enough against Valverde's rocket shot hehe, which was impossible to stop.

Copenhagen wanted to give their visitors Bayern Munich a tough time in this game, but the German side later proved they are the superior team.

As for the match between Manchester United and Galatasaray, the result from this game has made it the second time that Manchester United has lost in the Champions League group match and Galatasaray is gradually securing the second spot in their group, Man Utd losing in this game has decreased their chances of qualifying to the next round of the competition.

Almost all the matches in today's UCL surprised me, Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Lens made the majority of bettors lose their money. Especially for Copenhagen, they really played great, if there was no serious intention from Bayern Munich after Lukas Lerager's goal, they would have gotten their first 3 points.

Real Madrid also left me speechless in the final minutes of the match, I had given up on my $50 bet because I was playing on a handicap bet with -0.5 on Real Madrid, an own goal from Napoli saved my bet .
