Although the incoming Manchester United coach - Amorin did say that if he is able to win Manchester City that means it will be confident to compete with Pep Guardiola in the English Premier League but if otherwise it could say much on his personality. Now that he is leading and might likely win the match, I am not that confident that this completely means that he is that wonderful coach that Manchester United need to turn things around. Do not forget that same Manchester City was beaten by Bournemouth few days ago, this rather tell that Manchester City is going through their worse form. Manchester City cannot be the same without KDB in the midfield and also with that Rodri in the defense. If this two players are to be available, I do not think that sporting CP could beat Manchester City. I have other things to say but let me reserve my comment till the match finishes.
Pardon my overestimation of Amorin. It's just that I was surprised that Sporting was thrashing the EPL defending Champions. You are correct that City have not been in good shape for the past three games. Pep Guardiola's side has lost three games at a stretch now having lost against Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth. You are also right that the win is not a guarantee that he would do well at Manchester United but it shows that they have a good coach. It will take a coach who is tactically sound to beat City and we can see the tactical prowess of Amorin in this game.

Liverpool and Leverkusen are still tied 0-0 while Madrid are trailing 1-2 to Milan who are quite evenly matched in the match. However Madrid who have problems with finishing failed to take advantage of the opportunities, even Mbappe and Bellingham did not have much control of the ball. Madrid back line was a little lazy in guarding the opponent's movement so they did not realize Morata chasing the rebound into a goal, it purely started from Tchouaméni wrong pass.
The current score for the Liverpool - Leverkusen match is still reasonable, because Leverkusen is not a team that can be underestimated even though this match is a home match for Liverpool. What surprised me was the current score in the Real Madrid - AC Milan match, how could Real Madrid lose when playing at their home, do they want to repeat the same story in El Clasico?The match is about to end, and currently AC Milan are leading with 1 goal. Although I’m still expecting a draw from this match, I'm not sure because AC Milan will try their possible best, even if they don’t add more goals.Pressure Real Madrid in a way that they won’t be able to equalise the game. The match is playing at their home, so they were not supposed to lose this match seriously; it will be a bad result for them.
Because I know if Milan win today, even if they meet at Milan's home, Milan will do everything to win again, so I think Real Madrid should try and at least equalise the match even if they won’t win, but not Ac Milan winning them in their home.
The matches between the big teams tonight, the current results are on the shocking side, and if tonight's game ends like this Real Madrid, Manchester City, BayernMunich, it has a lot to say about the current form of real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. This champions league game reshuffle to league stage game, looks like the old system was more favorable to big teams, and I'm beginning to love it as some teams have started showing off their real strength.
Sporting Lisbon 3- 1 Manchester City
Wonders shall never end. Manchester United just got a good coach. Sporting is now leading by three goals to one. Manchester City have been given some sharp blows. Araujo and Gyokeres just got two sharp goals. Ruben Amorim is showing that he has what it takes to bring back United back to winning ways. City is well known for coming back from a loss to win or draw games. Pep Guardiola will tell his boys to keep attacking.
Don't be amazed because this is football and alot have happen and more on the way. It's 4-1 on the scoresheet and absolutely nothing the visitors can do currently. Looks like Ruben Amorim wouldn't have struggles managing Manchester United when he finally resumes as headcoach. Looking at the beautiful work he's doing in Sporting CP, it brings more reasons and motivation for the coach to have prolong stay at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim have been able to beat Pep Guardiola tonight with a huge victory over the Citizens at Estadio José Alvalade. This is one of the best winnings for Sporting CP and its against one of the top EPL side. We should know that in the UEFA Champions League, there's more that comes to it other than just games, the atmosphere for these games are intense especially tonight in the game against Sporting CP vs Manchester City. We did watch top performance from bothsides but at the end, the best team accumulates three points. Wonders shall never end. Manchester United just got a good coach.

No one can explain the level of disappointment Pep Guardiola is experiencing right now and he will complain that this is happening because of the injuries plaguing most of his players but I'd say that losing is something that will hit every good club once in a while.
Another disappointing first half at home for Real Madrid as Milan the 7th times champions league winner is leading with a 1:2 scores. Ac Milan showing they have a good attacking front in this game having utilized their chances in the game.
Real Madrid kept throwing away their goals opportunity in the first half, Ancelotti would need to make some changes to create an upset to the scores. Can Real Madrid really bring about a game changer in the second half as they did with Dortmund? Let see.

I don't know which one is more disappointing, seeing Real Madrid late by 3 goals to 1 or Manchester City knocked by 4 goals to 1 against Sporting!
Worst part is that Manchester City scored an early goal and they were leading for most of the first half and a Sporting player scored a hattrick on them.
For Real Madrid, their unique goal was scored from a penalty
Leipzig are also late by 3 goals to 1 against Celtic..
Such shocking results. Real Madrid scored a goal just now, 2 - 3, could they come back?
Edit: VAR has spoken, no goal for Real Madrid!

Lol hope he does that with Manchester United when he finally resume as Manchester United couch but that's by the way I think something is really wrong with Manchester City team this is not what was expected from them they are not even losing with 2-1 but 3-1, ever since Rodri and Kelvin De Bruyne went on injury for Manchester City they are no longer playing football as before they have been struggling to win matches ever since then unlike last week in the English premier league they lost to Bournemouth now they are already losing 3-1 to sporting Lisbon a scoreline they are supposed to be leading with the reverse has been the case.Wonders shall never end.

Today is really a surprising day in the UEFA Champions league as real Madrid is also losing 3-1 against AC Milan at the Santiago bernabeu.
My impression of watching Real Madrid is very disappointing, the players emotions are uncontrolled, they lost many opportunities, still forcing attacks from the left wing, Mbappe and Vinicius are busy fighting for space. My two cents Madrid has changed drastically, the decline in performance is not because of the quality of the players but Ancelotti who has lost his tactics. Modric was replaced by Ceballos, Valverde came out so that the midfield was increasingly porous and several times it was easy for Milan to counterattack because there were many gaps that could be exploited. Madrid deserved to lose with their bad game, no need to continue, just assume the match is over, 1-3 is a heavy blow for Madrid.

If he wins City, it means that he will have little challenges when to comes to EPL. However, it might be difficult to City to equalize all two goals because City is not as strong as last season ans we saw how Bournmoth won them last weekend. However, this is UCL and I also hope that Peo will be able to equalize the game than winning it. To share point is better than losing it all. Wonders shall never end.

In the second half there should be some consideration for a new scheme because, to be honest, Madrid are still not in the best condition but there is hope for a comeback in the remaining 45 minutes of the second half. Of course the hope is still 3 points in this match because Madrid's chance is still there.
Madrid still seemed to have not learned from the mistakes of the first half which made them seem very weak in defense because there was no tight marking for Milan players and even let Milan attack and get on target.
Although there have been some changes made for now but honestly if the scheme is still the same I don't think there will be any significant changes at this time for Madrid because they have too many internal mistakes from players and schemes.
Their speed and attacking power are also still very hampered especially for some players who seem to be still quite selfish and more concerned with individuals such as several times Vini tried solo runs and even forced shots when there were still several passing options that could still be done.

Still don't give bro, Real Madrid are full of wonders as they have shown before so hang on and wait for the second half which I believe will be filled with goals and not only for this Madrid game as the remaining games like Liverpool and Manchester city.
Real Madrid game today will ne different from their last Champions league match aginst Dortmund, Ac Milan will try to be more careful this time around.Real Madrid needs to find way to concede less and score more to get a win, Ac milan are not scared of Real Madrid in the first half and i won't ve suprised if they try to attack more as the second half juat begin now.
Liverpool game still 0 - 0 against Bayern Leverkusen, while Manchester City are already 2 goals down against sporting in the 59+ minutes already. Manchester City will more likely lose this game.

I really didn't like the first half of Madrid's match because they seemed to make too many mistakes, especially in possession and passing.
In addition, Tchouameni also under performed in this match, the 2 mistakes he made were really maximized by Milan and made into goals by Morata and Thiaw.
Tchouameni's first mistake was due to a lack of marking and a lost aerial duel and for the second mistake we must have seen how the quality of the pass shown which made Milan able to counter attack and make it a second goal.
In the second half there should be some consideration for a new scheme because, to be honest, Madrid are still not in the best condition but there is hope for a comeback in the remaining 45 minutes of the second half. Of course the hope is still 3 points in this match because Madrid's chance is still there.

Viktor Gyökeres missed a huge opportunity but has redeemed himself by scoring against Manchester City making the game in the first half end in a draw. The 26-year-old is a very promising striker, one who will do better if he is brought to the Premier League. Arsenal had eyes on the young Sweden player, but I don't know what seems to be the problem. I believe that is the kind of player Arsenal need to forward their attack and start winning trophies in the meantime, Manchester City is finding it difficult to score in the game, irrespective of their attempts. If they fail to score early in the second half they might end the game on a draw or Sporting will score and win the game. They are my favorite to win today's game against Manchester City.
There are seven teams playing in the Champions League at the moment, although my favorite team to watch right now is AC Milan vs Real Madrid. But between these two teams, two teams are attacking strongly from the beginning, and I have already watched the game. In this game, Real Madrid and AC Milan are playing much more aggressively. The attack of the two teams can lead to the result of either team at any time. I can see that AC Milan has been able to score a goal against Real Madrid at the moment, which looks really great, and it seems that today's match can be a surprise. Real Madrid conceded a goal early on. If they cannot respond to this goal until full-time, they will have to lose. AC Milan has gone ahead with a goal in 12 minutes with a great attack, but of course, Real Madrid needs to attack more at the moment and draw the game.
Real Madrid is just way off in terms of conceding goals because for their last 3 games now they have conceded first which is not a good form at all because they might end up being unlucky even in this game because Ac Milan can be stubborn sometimes although Real Madrid have a particular aura when it comes to equalizing and even winning games in the champions league.
Madrid are favourites to win this game and I think that the major loses they suffered from their previous Champions league match against Lille and that of the El Classico would motivate them to do better, fans are not really impressed with the outcome of those games therefore I believe Ancelotti would try to set things right by beating Ac Milan so he'll continue to get the trust of the fan. Moreover they're playing at the Bernabeu with a weaker Ac Milan squad, Milan have not really been in a good fork this season, they're even finding it difficult to win against weaker teams in the Serie A so I wonder how they'll be able to face Madrid and win today, this is the Champions League and Real Madrid is not Inter Milan, i don't see Madrid losing two matches consecutively but would rather use it as an opportunity to right their wrongs. If they mount much pressure on Milan there's a possibility of winning the match without a goal reply from Ac Milan.
So Far Real Madrid performance has been so weak, because since when this champion league started they have never bring any positive results, and everyone always put hope on them when they have match base they’ve better squad, but still suffering in the hand of weak teams. To be honest I don’t aspect that AC Milan can able to win Real Madrid, but in deed with their much efforts they make it possible.Because currently now their in the half time and with from the results given that AC Milan was leading the first half with 2-1, and with the way the teams was make an good performing against Real Madrid in the first half they might fit win the this match, kid care is not taking the second will be more tough than the first half.
The game is currently 2-1 as I was making the post, they already conceded two goals and the 1 they had was even penalty,Milan are making more dangerous,easily penetrative the defence ... for realmadrid to win they need to change their current pattern of playing.
Other day one of my friends was telling that from long time Real did not lose a home match. I was thinking this is a great news, I could place bets for Real when they are playing at home. In the last LaLiga match when they were down by 1 goal I went for Real to win. They conceded two goals, three and then four without scoring a single one LOLToday, after conceded the first goal I thought to deposit some funds and place a bet for Real but by then they already equalized. So I picked Real to win with some other selections, it's a four fold. Now I see it's going to be big challenge to win this slip even if I get the other three correct.
Still don't give bro, Real Madrid are full of wonders as they have shown before so hang on and wait for the second half which I believe will be filled with goals and not only for this Madrid game as the remaining games like Liverpool and Manchester city.
The game that's even surprising to me is the Dortmund game as I believe that by now they would have been a goal up and still yet it seems they are playing around with their chances and it's annoying as they don't know I have a 20$ bet on them to win.
