In Tuesday’s program, attention was mainly drawn to the A-group, from which three teams – Copenhagen, Galatasaray Istanbul and Manchester United – could advance before the final round.
The Danish champion welcomed Galatasaray, and in the event of a triumph, it would advance to the spring round of 16 for the second time in the club’s history.
Copenhagen started actively and Peter Ankersen could have sent the hosts into the lead in the 8th minute, but he narrowly missed the left post with a cross shot.
The teams were aware of the importance of the duel and the spectators watched the tactical battle. In the 58th minute, the home team showed a quick action on the left side, Elias Achouri found an uncovered Lukas Lerager in front of the goal, who opened the score of the match.
It was Lerager who was sent off in the 90th minute after the second ŽK, and the visitors had the advantage of one player. Galatasaray had great chances at the end, but could not get the ball past goalkeeper Kamil Grabara. However, the Turkish team finished third in the table and will play in the elimination phase of the Europa League.

United were bottom of the table with four points and needed a win over certain winners Bayern and hope that the duel in Denmark ends in a draw. “Bavarian” had more of the game in the first half and created three chances, but faltered in the end.
The favorite of the duel took the lead in the 71st minute, when Kingsley Coman broke free in the penalty area after a mix-up by the guests and beat goalkeeper Andre Onana. Manchester couldn’t equalize in the next phase, on the contrary, Harry Kane could have increased it even more.
The English representative thus remained in the last fourth place of the A-group and will not appear in European competitions in the spring. The reigning German champion did not lose a record 40 duels in the LM group stage and only drew in four. The last time he failed was on September 27, 2017 at Paris Saint-Germain (0:3).
Even a draw was enough for Napoli to advance from second place. However, the “Partenopei” were already ahead of Braga from the 7th minute, when Serdar Saatci sent Matteo Politano’s pass into his own net.
After half an hour of play, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen made it 2:0.
Slovakian Lobotka played until the 69th minute, replaced by Gianluca Gaetano. SSC maintained their lead and reached the top 16 of Europe’s most prestigious club competition, just like last year, when they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by AC Milan.
The Portuguese team finished third in the table and will appear in the elimination part of the Europa League.
In the second meeting, Real Madrid remained 100% even after the final meeting in the group stage. On the field of Union Berlin, they succeeded after the result 3:2.
The guests could have taken the lead in the 45th minute when Diogo Leite played with his hand in the penalty area, but Luka Modrič did not convert the penalty. Union scored on the counter attack. Kevin Volland took advantage of David Alaba’s big mistake. “White Ballet” increased activity in the second half and Josela equalized with a header after an hour of play.
Eleven minutes later, the same player scored the second goal, again with a header. However, the home team equalized in the 85th minute, when the Czech Alex Král scored with a shot from outside the penalty area. The favorite immediately countered and Dani Ceballos put Real in the lead again.
Inter drew 0:0 with Real Sociedad in the D-Group match. Both teams had a certain progress before the duel, but first place was at stake. The Spanish team was at the head of the group and confirmed it thanks to a draw.
FC Salzburg was in third place, but could not manage the home match against Benfica and lost 1:3. Thanks to the victory and three points, the Portuguese team got ahead of the opponent and continues in the spring in the Europa League.
Arsenal London players drew 1:1 in Group B at PSV Eindhoven. The Gunners already had a certain first place before the duel.
French Racing Lens defeated Sevilla 2:1 and will appear in the Europa League. In “B” it was already certain before the final round that Arsenal and PSV advanced to the round of 16.
The visitors took the lead from the 42nd minute thanks to Eddie Nketiah’s finish. However, Eindhoven equalized at the beginning of the second half, when Yorbe Vertessen made a breakthrough.
In the second group meeting, Sevilla had to win to advance to the second most prestigious European cup competition, which they won a record seventh time last season. The visitors could have opened the scoring after half an hour, but Ivan Rakič’s shot was pushed wide by goalkeeper Brice Samba.
In the second half Adria Pedrosa hit the post. In the 63rd minute, Przemyslaw Frankowski converted the penalty and Lens led 1:0. The Spanish team equalized when captain Sergio Ramos didn’t convert the penalty kick at first, but it was repeated for Sambu’s position and he didn’t hesitate anymore.
The home team took advantage of a break in extra time and Angelo Fulgini decided their triumph.
