In four rounds of the Champions League, Galatasaray has collected four points, occupying the third place in the group. Copenhagen is only ahead on additional indicators, and Manchester United is one point behind. At the same time, Bayern, with 12 points, has guaranteed itself the first place in the group, and with two rounds to go, three clubs are vying for the vacant second spot in the Champions League playoffs. The “lions” have good prospects, considering that they have already played their two matches against Bayern and lost with scores of 1:3 and 1:2. It is worth noting that in all four group stage matches, Okan Buruk’s charges have scored goals. However, they have not kept a clean sheet themselves even once. In the domestic Super Lig, Galatasaray is in second place, trailing only Fenerbahce in additional indicators. In the last round, they managed to crush Antalyaspor with a score of 4:0.
Despite the abundance of criticism, Manchester United has entered a winning streak of three matches in the Premier League. Thanks to these nine points, they have risen to sixth place. In the last round, the Mancunians left no chance for Everton, securing a 3:0 victory away. However, in the Champions League, there is no talk of progress and breakthrough yet. Four rounds have passed, and Erik ten Hag’s wards have only three points and occupy the last place in the table. A defeat today will deprive the team of even theoretical chances of reaching the Champions League playoffs. They managed to snatch the only victory with great difficulty against Copenhagen (1:0 at home). In a dramatic and goal-laden battle away, the “Red Devils” suffered a 3:4 defeat. Many questions arise about their defense nine goals conceded. In attack, overall, everything is fine they managed to score goals in all matches. Today, Manchester United will be weakened by numerous losses. Primarily, the absence of Rashford and Sancho is notable. The participation of Haaland, who is the top scorer in the Champions League with five goals, is in doubt.
