New European disillusionment for Manchester United, caught on Wednesday evening at Galatasaray after having a two-goal lead (3-3). The Red Devils remain last in their group in the Champions League.
All is not yet lost, but Manchester United remains badly off in the race for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Traveling this Wednesday on the Galatasaray pitch, Erik ten Hag’s men led on several occasions, but were unable to maintain their lead and were finally caught up, conceding a very problematic draw for them (3-3 ). THE Red Devils are fourth in Group A, while their evening opponents are provisionally second.
If there was no winner, there was a spectacle in Istanbul. First on the United side with the opener from Garnacho (0-1, 11th), definitely in form these days after his masterful goal scored last Sunday against Everton. Decisive passer on his teammate’s goal, Fernandes then doubled the score (0-2, 18th). But not enough to completely knock out Galatasaray who didn’t give up and relied on Ziyech to get back into the game.
Zieych scores a double
The former Chelsea player first reduced the gap after half an hour of play (1-2, 29th). And even if McTominay gave Manchester two goals back (1-3, 55th), the Moroccan international did it again to get his team back on track for a second time, taking advantage of a ball from a Onana has become accustomed to the genre (2-2, 62nd). And in a fiery atmosphere, it was finally Akturkoglu who scored the third Turkish goal, synonymous with the equalizer (3-3, 71st).
Despite several other opportunities on both sides, the already plump score did not change. Everything will therefore play out on the last day to know who will accompany Bayern Munich, leader of the group and already qualified for the eighth. A mission which promises to be complicated for United since it will welcome the Bavarians, while Galatasaray will challenge FC Copenhagen on December 12.
