Galatasaray reacted savagely and complicated the group’s situation.
Have you seen the first match between Manchester United and Galatasaray? Two months passed, but it was like that game never ended. From the first minutes the same crazy football continued with many chances. And the pace here was largely set by the Turks, who had a pronounced inclination towards attack.
Galatasaray fans greeted the guests with the motto “Welcome to hell” (“Welcome to hell” – from English). And the home team began to act quite aggressively on the field, but Manchester United not only survived, but also opened the score. In addition, Garnacho scored again, entering from the left wing in place of Rashford. The Argentine didn’t score as well as he did last weekend, but he’s not bad either. He received the ball with his right foot and shot with his left.

Fernández attended Garnacho. And a few minutes later he scored Manchester United’s second goal. From afar, the Portuguese placed him exactly in the close nine. In theory, he should have been controlled by the goalkeeper, but it was difficult to deal with such a blow.

The Turks continued to attack, allowing chances close to their goal. Manchester United looked good with Shaw, who was heavily involved in the attacks. In the 29th minute, Galatasaray still scored. Ziyech, who had recently played in England, scored from a direct free kick. The Manchester United goalkeeper decided to read the rival’s shot in advance and shot at the corner, which was covered by the wall, and the Moroccan shot right in the place of the goal where Onana was originally located.

New half: new goals. Manchester United launched a low attack from the goalkeeper: four vertical passes traveled the entire field and Wan-Bissaka made a cross to the goal that McTominay closed. At that time it seemed that Manchester United, despite all the difficulties, could still get out of the group.
However, Onán’s scoring errors did not end there. Again Ziyech took a free kick, again the Manchester United goalkeeper did something incomprehensible. He was apparently embarrassed by an opponent who ran past and didn’t touch the ball, but overall he seemed pretty clumsy. Onana missed the shot in the center of the goal, hitting the ball behind his back.

It seems that the locals realized that the main thing in this game is to shoot on goal. Arturkoglu came on as a substitute and shot from a fairly tight angle. And he left Onana in the nearest corner, although he should have been able to withstand such a blow. There have already been many complaints about the Manchester United newcomer, but this was his worst game. At least for the English team.

Manchester United had the opportunity to take this crazy game forward: in the 85th minute, Fernandes hit the post, and in the 90th minute, Pelistri almost put the ball in the goal. Even so, Galatasaray maintained the tie and has a good chance of qualifying from the group. And Manchester United has almost no chances left.
