With more or less difficulty, the European leaders all won this Wednesday during the 2nd evening of the 4th day of the Champions League.
Several greats from Europe were out this Wednesday, during the 2e part of 4e lifting of the Champions League. They were all able to secure full points, with the exception of Manchester United. For the third time in four matches, the Red Devils were beaten again.
Real and Arsenal played
Among the teams that have given satisfaction is Real Madrid. At home, the Merengue proved irresistible against Braga. They won 3-0, with goals from Brahim Diaz, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo. By winning, Ancelotti’s team secures its place in 8th. Naples is on track to do the same in this group despite its draw today against Union Berlin (1-1).
Just like Real, Arsenal also put on a show at home. The Gunners quietly defeated Sevilla (2-0) with goals from Trossard and Saka. The London team consolidates 1e place in its group, with 4 points more than PSV and Lens. These two teams faced each other in the Netherlands and it was the locals who won. Luuk De Jong scored the only goal of the match (1-0).

Manchester United collapse in Copenhagen
In Group A, Bayern Munich continued on its merry way. Despite great adversity offered by Galatasaray, the German giant had a fourth success in as many games (2-1). And it was once again Harry Kane who got his team out of a bad situation by opening the scoring, before delivering an assist to Mathys Tel for the break goal. In the same group, Man United also thought they would win when Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty midway through the second half. But reduced to ten after the expulsion of Marcus Rashford, the Red Devils ended up being overthrown (3-4). They are now on the verge of elimination.
Inter Milan also waited until the last minutes of their game against RB Salzburg to break away at the mark (1-0). Lautaro Martinez gave the European vice-champions victory by converting a penalty. The Lombards joined Real Sociedad in the round of 16. The Basques had done the job earlier in the evening by defeating Benfica (3-1).
