Bayern Munich Edges Manchester United: Bayern Munich defeated Manchester United 4-3 in a crucial Champions League game at Allianz Arena. United’s goalie, Onana, let Sané score in the first half, resulting in the loss. Minutes later, Gnabry scored again, making it 2-0 for Bayern, who maintained their lead despite United’s second-half comeback.
Onana admitted, “It’s tough for us, especially me, for letting the team down… We must move on. A goalie does this all day, and if we didn’t win today, it’s my fault. He admitted his mistake and called it a terrible game.
United’s boss, Erik ten Hag, offered assistance. He knew mistakes happen in football and was confident Onana would recover.
The Champions League match between two European teams was eagerly awaited. Kane, Sané started, and Gnabry scored after Musiala’s run. Rasmus Hjlund’s shot was blocked, and United returned. This reduced the lead to 2-1 in the second half.
Bayern extended their lead with Kane’s penalty after Eriksen’s handball. United fought on, and Casemiro scored their second goal. Müller hit the post as Bayern sought information. 18-year-old forward Mathys Tel scored Bayern’s first Champions League goal, securing a 4-2 win. Casemiro, former Real Madrid player, scored a late goal for United with a header from a free kick by Bruno Fernandes.
With 5 goals in 6 games in Germany, Harry Kane praised his team’s performance and called it a “crazy finish.”
This worsens Man Utd’s start. They lost 4 of their last 5 games, including a 3-1 loss to Brighton. Rio Ferdinand, former United defender and current TNT Sports commentator, urged players to have faith for their next Premier League match against Burnley. United lost 3 games consecutively.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern will face VfL Bochum, aiming to continue their strong start.
