Group A: “Red Devils” lose again
Manchester United – Galatasaray 2:3
The “Red Devils” are still struggling: Things are not going well in the league (10th place) – and Manchester United are still without a point in the Champions League after two match days. After the 3:4 in Munich, Erik ten Hag’s team lost 2:3 at home to Galatasaray on Tuesday. Things looked good for Manchester for a long time at Old Trafford, but in the last 20 minutes the guests made it 1-2. First Kerem Aktürkoglu equalized, then Casemiro was sent off after a foul in the penalty area. Mauro Icardi missed the penalty (77th). 4 minutes later the Argentinian did better and scored “Gala” to win.
Copenhagen – Bayern Munich 1:2
The leader of Group A is Bayern Munich. However, the German record champions struggled for a long time in Copenhagen and fell behind. Only the youngsters Jamal Musiala (67th) and Mathys Tel (83rd) scored the two goals.
Group B: Arsenal make a mistake in Lens
Surprise in Group B: After the confident 4-0 win in the CL opener against Eindhoven, Arsenal suffered a setback in France. After a 1-0 lead through Gabriel Jesus (14th), the “Gunners” showed themselves too pomadig. Lens took control of the game and turned the game around through Adrien Thomasson (25th) and new signing Elye Wahi (69th). The team from the Pas-de-Calais took the lead in Group B ahead of Arsenal.
Eindhoven – Sevilla 2:2
The action in the Philips Stadium between PSV and Sevilla (from 66th with Djibril Sow) went on for a long time, but in the final phase things went haywire. After a foul by defensive warrior Sergio Ramos, Luuk de Jong initially equalized with a penalty (86th). Immediately after the restart, Yussuf En-Nesyri put his colors back in front on the other side after a header from a cross. However, PSV kept the final volte to themselves: Jordan Teze equalized again in the 5th minute of injury time and ensured the points were shared.
Group D: Summer with a clean slate again
Inter Milan – Benfica Lisbon 1-0
Yann Sommer and Inter Milan, that seems to fit. The Swiss national team goalkeeper remained without conceding a goal for the 6th time in the 9th competitive game with the “Nerazzurri”. However, the opponents from Benfica Lisbon didn’t make it that difficult for him. Sommer only had to show his class when Fredrik Aursnes scored before the break. And while Lautaro Martinez sinned in the attack after his four-pack in the league, fellow striker Marcus Thuram made the decision (62nd).
Salzburg – Real Sociedad 0:2
Setback for the Austrian series champions: After the opening victory in Lisbon, the “Bulls” had to admit defeat in front of their own supporters Real Sociedad. Mikel Oyarzabal with a clever shot past defender Omar Solet (7th) and Brais Mendez after a counterattack (27th) scored the two goals for the Basques, who were already in with just 1 point in their last CL participation 10 years ago failed in the group phase – this year they lead Group D with 4 points.
