Galatasaray 3-3 Man Utd
The 5th round of Group A of the 2023/2024 Champions League has ended. Man Utd drew 3-3 in their away match at Rams Park against Galatasaray. Bayern Munich drew 0-0 when hosting Copenhagen at home.
With this result, Man Utd made it difficult for themselves in the race for the remaining spot in the knockout round. Bayern Munich is sure to keep the top spot with 13 points. Copenhagen and Galatasay have 5 points each, 1 point more than the "Red Devils".
In the final match (all Champions League matches are broadcast live on FPT Play), Man Utd faced Bayern Munich while the two direct competitors faced each other.
Man Utd are in a difficult position in the race for a place in the 2023/2024 Champions League.
Man Utd no longer have the right to decide their place in the next round. The necessary condition for Erik ten Hag's team to pass the group stage is that they must defeat Bayern Munich.
Even if they do, the Old Trafford team must have another sufficient condition - Copenhagen draws with Galatasaray. At that time, Man Utd will have 7 points, 1 point more than the two competitors.
In case Copenhagen and Galatasaray win or lose, Man Utd will be eliminated from the Champions League.
The worst-case scenario for Man Utd is that they fail to qualify for the Europa League after exiting the Champions League. That would happen if Man Utd lose to Bayern Munich. If the "Red Devils" get a point and the match between Copenhagen and Galatasaray does not end in a draw, the English team will have to compare the additional goals with the losing team.
Compared to Galatasaray, Man Utd is at a disadvantage in terms of head-to-head record. Therefore, the Red Devils must hope that the Turkish team wins against Copenhagen. The Danish representative won 1 match, lost 1 match against Man Utd (each team scored 4 goals).
In case of two teams being level on points, the next sub-index taken into account is goal difference. Man Utd are definitely better than Copenhagen in this scenario.
