Champions League UCL
Can Bayern Munich beat Manchester City in Champions League?
Jessica Kiss told SportsFila: “I don’t think Bayern is good enough defensively to keep up with the attacking talent of MC… I feel [MC] have too many game changers and idk if Bayern have proven that they have a guy who can score in the big moments.”
Can Bayern Munich beat Manchester City in Champions League?
That final statement is comical. I think Bayern’s defence has proven to be the best itw when you look at what they did against Mbappe and these guys are no strangers to playing against Erling Haaland, either. And if there is anyone who has proven themselves to be a big-game person, it’s Thomas Müller. He scores in almost every crucial game and guys like Coman have also delivered big-time in the CL.

I’m not saying FC is wrong this time but every year in the UCL they favor every other big team to beat Bayern. So they might be right this time but it kind of falls on deaf ears. They also said Bayerns D couldn’t stop Psg and psg didn’t score once so 🤷 that’s all I got for this one.
Under Nagelsmann they were incredible in the Champions League. Won all games and only conceded 2 goals. Then the incredibly intelligent bosses came up with the idea of sacking him and hiring a new coach shortly before such an important game against Manchester City. The last 2 games were not good at all under Tuchel. How? You can’t blame Tuchel for that. That’s why I believe Manchester City will win. Under Nagelsmann I would have bet on Bayern.
I see alot of people saying Bayern can’t brake teams down, they miss so many chances, well city aren’t going to sit down and they never faced a press like Bayern this season.
We all know when Bayern press you they suck the life out of you they are by far the best pressing team in Europe if I’m guardiola I’d give them the ball and try and hit them on the brake but we all know he won’t do that and that’s why they are going home.
City will play Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals – with the first leg at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday – after reaching the last eight for the sixth successive season, but they are yet to lift the trophy.
The closest City came was under Guardiola two years ago, when they made their only appearance, to date, in the final but lost 1-0 to Chelsea in Porto.
Well, both teams had weaknesses. I saw the Freiburg vs Bayern game and I saw the Southampton vs Man City game and actually I saw a lot of Bayern games and Man City games this season(Of course, these are different games, the players will play and their motivation will be different in the Champions League).
But it gave me some idea or some view how Bayern and how Man City are playing. Both are very similar but different in other areas. Both loves to press, both loves to keep the possession. But Man City players in my opinion have a much better pass accuracy than Bayern players, and Man City applying a different type of pressure than Bayern. Also, Man City had much more shots on target than Bayern so far. So yeah, it is going to be a very interesting game, SportsFila.com predicts.
You cant say that Bayern form is bad so their bad form will shows in the Champions League… Same about Man City. Champions League games are different. For both the players and for both the coaches. The form can give you some kind of view how both teams are doing so far, but I have seen many teams with bad forms in their league ended up winning the champions league.
For example Real Madrid. Not once but twice. They lost the Cup, the LaLiga but ended up winning the Champions League. And no dont get me wrong Iam not saying Bayern will dominate Man City no. I just saying, you cant just say that “Ohh, this team lost 1 and drew 2 of their last 3 games in their league, so the other league team which won their last 3 games will trash this team next week in the Champions League” No, you cant say that.
Bundesliga reports: Tuchel admitted he has had trouble sleeping in the build-up to Bayern’s Champions League tie against City.
Bayern boss Tuchel revealed he was hoping for an early night following his team’s arrival in Manchester but conceded that might not be possible as he mulls over his tactical plans.
The former Chelsea manager said: “I will try to go to bed early. I just hope I will be able to sleep.
“The best preparation is sleep but sometimes it is hard to get that sleep when you’re thinking about things.
“This morning I woke up really early and I just decided to go to the training ground because I couldn’t get back to sleep. I just kept thinking about the match.”

3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League – Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hag’s side of advancing to the knockout stages.
Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm
Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.
7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time
As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit
Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.

The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.
David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United
As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.
I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.
Don’t do it!!! They decided you weren’t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. That’s tells you what you need to know
Of course teams have offered him contacts and he’s chosen to say no. He’s said very clearly he’ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.
Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?
Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise they’re telling him his spot is at risk
United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.

It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? 😆 We’re a joke!

De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.
If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And he’s been offered but he won’t take less than what he is worth, he’s a golden glove winner and a legend 🤷🏽. Onana can’t even distribute this season and can’t stop a beach ball.
Tottenham Topping the Premier League table
It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the £375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.
He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.
Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.
Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland
Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.
What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?
The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.

The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.
We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
