English tragedy

Thomasson made up for his mistake to make it 1-1 (25th) following Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya missed a shot. Arsenal were no longer able to improve in the second half, but Elye Wahi (69th) scored once more for the French, who were able to celebrate another victory 21 years following their last appearance in the premier class.
In Manchester, the “Red Devils” left the field beaten once morest Galatasaray. Rasmus Höjlund put United ahead twice. The former striker scored with a header from Rashford’s cross (17′) and made it 2-1 in the second half (67′).

Schedule and tables
A hair-raising bad pass from United goalkeeper Andre Onana earned Galatasaray a penalty. Casemiro had to leave the field with a yellow-red card, but Mauro Icardi shot past the goal (78th). The Argentinian scored his goal following all: a header defense from team-mate Davinson Sanchez became the ideal assist, Icardi did everything right with a shot (81′).
Bellingham also shines in Naples
In the packed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples, Napoli got off to a better start in the top duel. After a corner kick, Real’s goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made a mistake and the Norwegian Leo Östigard (19th) pushed the ball, which bounced back off the crossbar, over the line with his head. The Madrilenians were only partially impressed and turned the game around until the half-time whistle.
The main actor was Jude Bellingham. The Englishman intercepted a pass and brought Vinicius Jr. into play. The Brazilian, who was returning from injury, didn’t miss the opportunity (27′). Bellingham himself completed a solo to make it 2-1 (34th). It was the ninth goal this season for the newcomer.

But Napoli were able to add. After a handball by Nacho during a defensive movement, there was a penalty, Piotr Zielinski (54th) took the goal accurately. The southern Italians smelled victory, but an artificial shot from Federico Valverde made Carlo Ancelotti’s team celebrate once more. The Uruguayan took a hard shot from an ambush corner, the ball bouncing off the crossbar hit Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret and jumped over the line (78th).
German joy and suffering
In the second game of Group C, Union Berlin missed the first Champions League victory in the club’s history despite a 2-0 lead and continued its series of defeats on the European stage. In front of 73,445 fans in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, SC Braga won 3-2 with a goal in stoppage time. Sheraldo Becker (30th, 37th) scored Berlin’s celebrated premiere goals in the premier class. Sikou Niakate (41st), Armindo Bruma (51st) and Andre Castro (94th) turned the game around. Christopher Trimmel watched Union’s defeat from the substitutes’ bench.
Copenhagen gave Bayern a tough fight. The Munich team, with Konrad Laimer in central midfield, often worked their way into the danger area, but there was no great chance to score. The Germans initially had more of the game in the second half, but the goal was scored by the Danish champions. After a blocked shot, Lukas Lerager was there with a dropkick (55th).
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel should still be happy in the end. After a dribble, Jamal Musiala scored to equalize for the German record champions (67′), before Thomas Müller laid it on ideally for Mathys Tel, who was also a substitute (83′). Sven Ulreich prevented the equalizer with a save at the end and gave Bayern their second win.
