Getting to the knock-out stage of the Champions League was very difficult. Manchester United were eliminated from the group stage after losing 0-1 to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford on Tuesday. Frustrated manager Eric ten Haag said, shaking off this failure, he wants to focus on the English Premier League!
Man U got four points from six matches in this Champions League group stage. Win 1, draw 1, lose 4! Goals for 12, against 15. In the 70th minute of the match, Kingsley Coman scored from the ball arranged by Harry Kane.
What is the reason for the party’s failure? Ten Haag’s analysis, “We also had a lot of chances to win in all the matches but couldn’t capitalize on them. The picture did not change against Bayern. But this failure must be quickly erased from the mind. The new zeal must focus on the EPL.”
Bruno Fernandes’ manager also said, “If we want to play in the main stage of the Champions League next year, we have to pay attention to the EPL. If we can be in the top four, we can play on this stage next year.” He added, “Apart from that, there are big competitions like the FA Cup. We have a chance to come back in a new way.”
However, Man U’s ex-boyfriends are outraged by the team’s football. Paul Scholes said, “This team has no ability to fight. I don’t know what philosophy Ten Hag has built the team on.”
Michal Arteta’s Arsenal have been confirmed in the last sixteen on Man U’s night of disaster. Tuesday’s match against PSV Eindhoven ended 1-1. Arsenal took the lead in the 42nd minute with Eddie Neketia’s goal. However, Yorbe Vertesen equalized in the 50th minute. Arsenal confirmed the last sixteen with 13 points in six matches. Manager Arteta said, “Over the last three years there has been a lot of change in the overall attitude of the team. That’s the benefit. But it does not end here. There are tougher fights in the knock-out phase.”
However, Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid continues to surprise. They beat Union Berlin 3-2 in an away match on Tuesday. Joselu scored two goals for the team. Another goalscorer is Dani Ceballos. Real reached the last sixteen after winning six consecutive matches in ‘C’ group. Total 16 goals in six matches.
However, Tuesday’s match started in a different mood. Union Berlin took the lead through Kevin Volland before the end of the first half. Joselu equalized in the 61st minute. His second goal came in the 72nd minute. But the goal of Alex Krall in the 85th minute equalized the Bundesliga team. But a minute before the end of the match, Sebayos brought cheer back to the Real camp.
Ancelotti said after the match that he was also surprised by Real Madrid’s incredible football. He said, “After the first 40 minutes we played very well, we didn’t play well in the match. But the football Real Madrid played after that, I haven’t seen in a long time.”
The Real manager is more content to see such great football from the side without Vinicius Jr. He said, “Joselu is a good footballer. But in this match his football touched another height. I am fascinated by his game.”
