With a fourth victory in as many matches, the Madrid (3-0 against Braga) and Bavarian (2-1 against Galatasaray) giants join Manchester City, the defending champion, and RB Leipzig who had qualified the day before.
Real won easily thanks to a great Rodrygo (a goal, an assist), but Braga missed a penalty at the start of the match by Alvaro Djalo (6th).
Bayern ended up overcoming the Istanbul “Lions” thanks to Harry Kane’s 18th and 19th goals since the start of the season.
Real Sociedad (3-1 against Benfica) and Inter Milan (1-0 in Salzburg) have together punched their ticket in Group D where they have 10 points each, already unattainable for Salzburg, third with 3 points.
If these ogres and the Basque club are wandering, another great European is struggling this season.
Copenhague renverse Manchester United
Manchester United thought they could hold on to victory in Copenhagen by leading 2-0 with a double from Rasmus Hojlund, born in the Danish capital, then 3-2, but the Danish “Indians” never gave up.
After the exclusion of Marcus Rashford for a sole on Eliad Jelert (42nd), they equalized thanks to goals from the Norwegian Mohamed Elyounoussi and Diogo Gonçalves from the penalty spot just before the break.
Bruno Fernandes gave MU the lead again by converting a penalty, but Lukas Lerager equalized then the Swede of Syrian origin Roony Bardghji offered victory and second place in the group to a melting stadium in the final minutes.
