Champions League: ManU loses two-goal lead and avoids elimination | Video

In a duel to the death in hot Istanbul, Manchester United, who took the lead 1-3, drew level with Galatasaray (3-3) and were on the verge of elimination from the LL Champions League.

You have to beat Bayern Munich on the last day and I hope the Turkish team doesn’t beat Copenhagen.

The English, who needed the win to trust themselves, lost another two-goal lead a few weeks ago, as did Copenhagen, and signed what could be their death sentence in European competition. If they don’t score against them, Bavaria won’t even go to the Europa League.

After the victory over Éverton The odyssey in Türkiye could not have started better this weekend. After 20 minutes from Erit Ten Bruxa. With two nice goals it was already 0-2 on the scoreboard Alejandro Garnacho, with a whip at the near post and Bruno Fernandes, with a corner kick from outside the penalty area.

But what is already causing an epidemic in this team, mistakes began to occur. This resulted in another disappointing evening for the “Red Devils” in Europe.

Free kick from André Onanana Ziyech On the edge of the penalty area, he took a step to cover the far post, leaving his own post exposed. The Moroccan caught up with him and overtook him after half an hour.

The goal inspired the Turks, who leveled Mauro Icard’s Cameroonian one-on-one just before half-time, but offside saved United, who entered the dressing room with similar feelings as a few weeks ago in Denmark: there is no control in this team.

Although I know that Scott McTominay. In a counter-attack that made it 1-3, United collapsed in the final half hour after another error from Onana. The goalkeeper tried to compensate for a foul by Ziyech with his fist and sent it towards his own goal. Another mistake with consequences.

Ten minutes later, Kerem Akturkoglu’s superb goal, on the run and with violence at the near post, left United one goal away from elimination from the Champions League.

And Galatasaray had chances, especially when former United player Wilfred Zahaum missed the target in the final meters.

Even with the final push, United could have won. Bruno Fernandes hit the post with a shot from outside the penalty area, Facundo Pellistri missed three clear shots.

So United died and ended the day in last place in the group and it will take a miracle on the final day to get through that. They have to beat Bayern, who are not playing, at the Allianz Arena and hope that Galatasaray does not win in Denmark.
