UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

I really don't know how many more times Bellingham will need to save the team like that. It is another last moment goal by him which brought the win to Real Madrid. I wasn't expecting them to have this big difficulties against Union Berlin in a home match. I know that Vinicius Jr is injured but still they are a much stronger team than their opponent.

Next time Real Madrid are going to play the toughest game in their group which is against Napoli away. With this look I think they have a potential to lose there.

I expected Real Madrid to win Union Berlin without any difficulty, but when I looked at the lineup of Real Madrid and understood that something is wrong and they might not have the ability to win expressly as I thought. It almost happened that they drew the match. If not for J Bellingham that came in as usual for Real Madrid according to you. I don't know how long the young boy will continue to serve Real Madrid even playing in offset position.
If Viin Junior is not back before the return match to Germany, Real Madrid may have problem winning the match.

I have to say Inter hasn't displayed good performance yesterday that since the beginning of match Inter was playing under pressure and surprisingly Sociedad can performing so well that in the first half they got several attempts to scored and i think Inter was lucky because they didn't lose at that time and this is unsatisfactory result from Inter because before the match begin they are the favourite to win the match and the records 7 winning streak from Inter have to stopped in this match

On the other hand Arsenal has starting this season with fantastic performance that they have been humiliated PSV with huge scores 4-0 and playing at home Arsenal have already leading the game 3-0 in the first half and this make them so comfortable to ended the match and collect 3 points and i think Trossard deserved to called as man of the match because besides he scored goal he also the creator of Jesus goal

The way I view Inter Milan performances this season, I expected them to perform more than that,but still, they tried because they were able to draw the game at last, but to be honest, they really struggled to draw the game, which many people didn't expect,because Inter Milan hardly created some chances that yesterday they were playing, but they found it hard to break the Real Sociedad defense line, and that shows how strong the Real Sociedad defense is, but it also contributes to the weak front line of Inter Milan. Real Sociedad should have won the game yesterday because they had many chances to score goals, but they were not just lucky because Inter only had one chance and was able to utilize it, which led to a draw at the end.
 
As for Arsenal, I never think they can defeat PSV with so many goals because PSV's performance in their domestic league is great, so I expected PSV to give Arsenal a tough time, but seriously, nothing like that. I was impressed with the PSV performance yesterday because they even found it so hard to even net one goal, which is something hard. I expected PSV to also score in those matches yesterday, but Arsenal did not give them that chance.

Real Madrid could only score one goal against Union Berlin, which was quite disappointing, they had full control of the match and there were a lot of attempts, but the winning goal could only come when the game was almost over.
Union Berlin was really under pressure but being able to guard the net until the match was almost over was an extraordinary thing but the chaos in front of their net was maximized by Madrid so Union Berlin failed to get a point in this away match.

I know Real Madrid was really stronger than Union Berlin, but the truth is that they don't have many good scorers in the squad. I wish players like Benzema were still at Real Madrid. I believe they will score more than one goal, and again, the Union Berlin goalkeeper was the one that saved many of those goals. If not, it will be different stories because Real Madrid created a lot of great chances that could have ended in goals, but the Union Berlin goalkeeper denied many of the goals. But all I have to say is that I have won either one or many goals.

Jude Bellingham had been a fantastic, talented and a brilliant player for Real Madrid since his arrival to the club, he had became Real Madrid highest goal scorer for the club this season, imagine without Bellingham in yesterday match against Union Berlin the match could have ended a goalless draw thanks to his injury time time tap in that seal the hard fought win against their defensively minded opponent, honestly I think Real Madrid needed a good striker now the duo of Joselu and Rodrygo hasn't been profilic striker even if Vinicius recover from injury I don't think he is going to make any difference because he plays at the flanks or wing.

Onana is not very consistent, he often moves in situations he shouldn't. I think he should be able to control his instinct level which is quicker to catch the ball rather than continuing to make blunders.
 However, the final result was in favor of the hosts where they were able to get 3 points at home which made them temporary leaders in Group A.

At some point I do say Manchester united miss de gea, because onnana seem so unstable and irregular, he exhibit some level of unnecessary confidence which I think at some point is not needed and this has led to certain mistakes which cost the team the game, especially in this just concluded UCL game where he was not at his very best.

Onana should understand that he is a goal keeper and that's his job, he shouldn't see him self as a player, rather 90% goal keeper and 10% player. He should hold the ball and stop trying to use his leg all the time as this could lead to possible mistake which the team may not be ready to tolerate as when it happens. I hope he becomes more careful and perform better.

The defense mechanism of Manchester united don't seem formidable enough at some point, as the give too many spaces for potential penetration by their opponent, as displayed in the second half of the UCL game they played yesterday, sometimes a good defense system could be of great help to the keeper as the safety of the goal post does not solely depends on the goal keeper alone.

[gabbie2010]

People are saying Manchester United is already improved because during their poor performance they can score 3 goals to Bayern Munich, but people forget if Bayern Munich's goalkeeper played really awful. If Bayern Munich still have Yann Sommer, I think Manchester United only can score one goal.

It's shame to see Onana, Ten Hag should ask De Gea to back Manchester United.

Overall I'm happy to see Rashford has lower his ego, while Bruno is still same.

Man Utd hasn't improved yet if judging by their yesterday match against Bayern Munich was used as a reference that is absolutely untrue, Onana made some brilliant saves in that match if not Man Utd would have lost the match with more goals, though Onana after the match admitted that his error was responsible for the team defeat, even with the narrow defeat I think Bayern Munich were not in their best, however Onana hasn't made any difference since arrived from Inter Milan he was sole responsible for sending off DeGea on a free transfer because of his ability initiate a buildup from the defense yet he had never achieve a clean sheet in all matches he played for Man Utd.

Onana taking responsibility makes sense. It was the first game asides from the Pre-season games against Lens have watched him commiting blunder. He has the backing of the fans and that of the players and staffs. There'll be improvement once the defense is stable. Victor Lindelof now seems like a player that should be allowed to leave the club.

People fail and rise up back better and stronger. De Gea back? That's Dead mate! Nah! It can't happen.

Rashford messed up big time, he is a winger and not the middle man attacking, he should learn to pass and create chances.

Their defense is still not good so it was easy for Munich to score four goals and it wasn't entirely the goalkeeper's fault, but as far as I can see at least Manchester United didn't lose much and only lost a little so they can improve when playing at Manchester United's home ground. , I also don't think that Manchester United can win last night's game.

But I was lucky to bet on Munich last night and it was almost tense at the end of the match because I was a little worried that Manchester United could score a goal and make it a draw. Fortunately, Munich was able to come out as the winner even though they won narrowly. There is a lot that needs to be improved from Manchester United's defense so that they can win. even better to face the next few matches.

We can very least see hojlund was scoring during the game. Why are not you even judging manchester united's defensive line? I meant it's also showing poor performance as well.
Look at what lindelot - dalot - eriksen has done. Onana will be always being threaten by bayern's players if the defenders were playing solid in that game.

The major problem of manchester united was on its defenders. MU defenders was killing the game. It's obvious if we can't even judge onana as the one who performed poorly against bayern caused by manchester united's defenders have been performing even worst than him.

It's a shame for manchester united conceded so many goals but i was aware how the defenders played like there's no chemistry between them.
Onana gets a lot of blame but people forgot the defenders were also making too many mistakes here.

The only goal scored by Jude Bellingham gave Real Madrid victory again in the home match against Union Berlin. If we look at the beginning, Union Berlin only defended and very rarely attacked. Of course they don't want to take any more risks by relaxing their defense because the opponent is Real Madrid and the most reasonable result they can aim for is a draw. However, Real Madrid repeatedly created opportunities but most of them ended in failure. Like Joselu, he often gets opportunities, but he seems unlucky in this match.

Berlin's defense is very solid. Berlin has been building the wall but real madrid is lucky enough causd by a strong shoot was able to be deflected in front of bellingham. Joselu is always having problem in finishing.
I don't even count this guy as a striker owned by real madrid. His performance was always poor. It's very different compared with him when he was still playing at espanyol.

Despite Union Berlin's strong defense in this match, Real Madrid's front line played very badly and not only in this match, in the last few matches the performance of Real Madrid's front line has been very disappointing.
And Real Madrid is lucky to have a player like Bellingham, even though he plays as a midfielder, in several matches he has always been the savior of the Real Madrid team.
Even though Real Madrid won 3 points in this match, they have a lot to improve, their current performance cannot allow them to compete further in the UCL.

[Velvet78]

I'm afraid Onana is really a wrong choice for Manchester United at the moment. I wasn't expecting him to perform like this when he first came here honestly. Because you must all know how he performed for Inter last season. He increased his market value quite high after that performance. This improved the expectations from him when he arrived at Manchester United.

However he is still making simple mistakes. The first goal he conceded last night was really embarrassing. A goalkeeper at this level shouldn't make this kind of a mistake. I think Onana won't last too long in the starting eleven if he continues like this.

Manchester United's defense is very weak. That's why Onana doesn't get better performance. Still I will say Onana made some nice saves against Munich. Otherwise, Manchester United would have been defeated by a bigger margin. I would say it was Manchester United's success that they managed to score three goals. We have seen Manchester United's weak attack for a long time. United's strikers are not able to play well in the Premier League.

I thought Munich's defense would perform better in this match. But even then the team conceded three goals. As Munich aim to win the Champions League title, Thomas Tuchel should tighten up his squad's defence.

He's like a Messiah sent to rescue Madrid from failure this season and to be honest they'll be very happy they got him this season, because without Jude Bellingham i don't know what the teams performance would become,now that Vinicius Junior is out due to a lengthy injury spell and Joselu their current striker is not someone they could rely on to get goals week in week out, well the entire position of the team looks balanced except that of the striker position, they've not yet got a trustworthy attacker that would reduce the load on Jude Bellingham and score goals week in week out.

 It's not like they didn't perform well, their performance wasn't all bad, but they had Ill luck in getting the ball into the net if you check you'll see that they got 32 shots with 7 on target while their opponents just got only 4 with no shot on target, to show that Realmadrid played better and had more chances of winning but could find their way past the opponets defence and get a better scoring chance.

However, Real Madrid repeatedly created opportunities but most of them ended in failure. Like Joselu, he often gets opportunities, but he seems unlucky in this match.

The last one was thanks to a hard kick from Valverde and the bounced ball resulted in a goal which was scored by Jude Bellingham. As usual, Real Madrid won in the last minute and I think Ancelotti has to really think about how they can take a quick lead in the first half and not continue to depend on dramatic results like this in the next match.

The Union Berlin goalkeeper plays an important role in this fight we can see how he secures the defense area from several opportunities from Madrid players, if he wasn't alert maybe Real Madrid could score 2-3 goals. From the Madrid side I saw them in a hurry either they are too confident because they play at home or they underestimate the opponent what is clear is dangerous. Maybe Madrid feels safe in the group so they don't think they will be kicked out?

Madrid's dominance in this match was evident and I agree with you that the Union goalkeeper did very well in this match with some of the saves he made such as when he blocked Rodrygo's 1-on-1 with Ronnow or some of the chances Joselu created.
Ronnow played very well in this match and unfortunately it was extra time when Valverde's shot caused a meltdown in front of goal which Jude managed to capitalize on and give Madrid the lead and 3 points in their first match.
Honestly, I really liked the performance of both teams in this match where Madrid with their good attack and Union's defensive schemes were also very good.

I understand where you are coming from, but the truth is that Manchester United do not miss David de gea; the keeper is past his best and it is understandable, buying a replacement with howlers does not negate the truth. With de gea, there will howlers in the fa cup finals, howlers in different competitions crucial stages.  

At the moment, onana is getting exposed due to a poor tactical set up and horrible midfield; the coach needs to do better

[Ndabagi01]

FC Bayern munich were aggressive from the start which made them fight hard till the end of the match. But Manchester United and they tried hard to equalize the match but could not succeed in any way. FC Bayern munchen lead by one goal in the last minute although both teams attacked a lot but luckily manchester united lost despite trying hard enough to succeed.
Moments before half-time, Manchester United did not see a goal but FC Bayern Munchen found two goals, but for a long time, Manchester United just resisted. A last-minute attack brought some success for the team and the match remained 4-3.

Erik Ten Hag men didn't make any impressive performance in the first half, they were relenting and having no clue towards playing the home team, they would have settle for a draw  points if not the mistake caused by Andre Onana, lead to weakening the entire squad. However they united did triggered a come-back but it was too late, with Rasmus Højlund goal and Casemiro netting a brace would have equal the game. Manchester united performance was defensive and stunning, the Red Devils were able to absorb all the pressures from Bayern Munich, it was really a tougher game to decide the winner in the second half.

I didn't expect the match to be so intense in the second half; considering the way the first half ended, I had given up hope on Manchester United. Manchester United made me believe in them again, even though their present performance is bad and they have been playing beyond their usual levels as a team. They will maintain a good position in the Premier League if they will replicate their performance in the Champions League in their next match. Teams perform differently in different competition, but if they can do the same in the Premier League, they will have a higher standing rank in the Premier League.

Of course, such mistakes are never expected from a goalkeeper like him but he is human so he has to take this mistake naturally because mistakes are human. Maybe we can now think that if he had not made such mistakes in the beginning, maybe Manchester United could have gone ahead in this match or Manchester United could have left the field with a draw. If we are Manchester United supporters, we should be satisfied with the way Manchester United performed. The small mistakes that Manchester United made against Bayern Munich certainly cannot be made in the next match. We need to learn from the mistakes of the match against Bayern Munich and replace those mistakes in the next match. Manchester United will be back again and strong in the next Champions League match.

That's true, Onana cannot be completely blamed even though he is not worthy of replacing De Gea, Man United back line is also very weak. Apart from that, even though Munchen appeared to dominate in front of their own supporters, in fact they also conceded three goals. Hojlund managed to score his first goal for The Red Devils since arriving last summer, amazingly this was done in the UCL competition. Talking about The Red Devils chances in the UCL, of course the chances are still quite big because this is only the first match.

I think losing to Bayern Munchen is more acceptable than losing to Brighton, because after all United didn't deserve to lose at home to Brighton. Meanwhile, Kane squad is currently superior for Bruno and his friends.

Manchester United made bad decisions by letting De Gea leaves the club and spent big transfer fee to buy Onana. I think it's better if they use that money to buy a good central defender to replace Maguire. It's their weakness not the goalkeeper position. De Gea played well in the past season and they don't actually need to replace him by Onana.

I agree with you that Onana does not have good saving ability like De Gea and combining his mistakes with expensive transfer fee, it's a bad decision.

Of course, such mistakes are never expected from a goalkeeper like him but he is human so he has to take this mistake naturally because mistakes are human.

Even without that latest mistake in a match with Bayern Munich, Onana was already known, by his statistics, that he has worse saving stats than David De Gea. The mistake does not make his statistics worse too much but importance is generally, De Gea can help Manchester United to save more goals and save money to improve their squad at other positions.

Despite Union Berlin's strong defense in this match, Real Madrid's front line played very badly and not only in this match, in the last few matches the performance of Real Madrid's front line has been very disappointing.
And Real Madrid is lucky to have a player like Bellingham, even though he plays as a midfielder, in several matches he has always been the savior of the Real Madrid team.
Even though Real Madrid won 3 points in this match, they have a lot to improve, their current performance cannot allow them to compete further in the UCL.

Joselu was not impressive in that game against Union Berlin. He had close to five clear chances that a natural number 9 would bury in the net, but some of the shots lacked accuracy while others lacked power. Real Madrid has the best midfield manned by a combination of the young and experience with players like Bellingham and Modrić. The defense was also impressive with Rudigar playing at a high level. But the problem is just a clinical finisher that can fit the shoes of Benzema. Vinicius would have added more push to the attack but he was sidelined by injury.

Union Berlin played defensively throughout the game and the score would have been higher if not for a good defensive display and an uncommon display by goalkeeper Rønnow. Bellingham is now the standing hero of Real Madrid,  the English player keeps saving his team. If Ancelotti can just fix the team's attack, they will be difficult to beat. Real next game is with Napoli and it will not be like their game against the German side. Napoli is an attacking side that will put the defense of Real on their toes.
