MU took the lead twice but still ended up losing 2-3 in the match against Galatasaray at Old Trafford in the second match of Group A of the Champions League.

This is also the second consecutive defeat for coach Erik ten Hag and his team after a dramatic 3-4 loss at Bayern Munich on the opening day.

MU is at the bottom of the rankings

Two consecutive losses left MU sadly at the bottom of the table and waiting for the match against Copenhagen in the second round to hope for the first points in this prestigious arena.

In this match, MU was the team that started the game better, created many opportunities and took the lead in the 17th minute thanks to Rasmus Hojlund after a pass from Rashford.

However, the Red Devils' joy only lasted exactly 6 minutes before Wilfried Zaha defeated Dalot in a dispute to score the equalizer 1-1 for Galatasaray in the reunion with his old team.

In the second half, MU continued to attack and scored the second goal after Hojlund's sharp run and shot in the 67th minute.

However, the Argentine player quickly made amends with the decisive goal in the 81st minute to bring the final victory 3-2 to the Turkish representative.

With this victory, Galatasaray has 4 points after 2 matches, ranking 2nd after Bayern Munich in the Champions League group.

Bayern Munich extend record

In the same match, Bayern Munich also had a 2-1 comeback victory in their away match at Copenhagen.

Lukas Lerager gave home side Copenhagen a 1-0 lead in the 56th minute, but just 11 minutes later Jamal Musiala equalised for Bayern.

In the 83rd minute, Thomas Mueller shone with an assist for striker Mathys Tel to score the winning goal, sealing a 2-1 comeback for the Bavarian Tigers.

Notably, the goal that brought 3 points to Bayern came just a few minutes after the duo Mueller and Mathys Tel were both sent onto the field from the bench by coach Thomas Tuchel.

This victory helped Bayern Munich extend their unbeaten streak in the Champions League group stage to 36 matches (33 wins, 3 draws) - a record in the history of the tournament. Not only that, they are also on a streak of 15 consecutive wins.

As for Thomas Mueller, he has also equaled Iker Casillas' record of 101 wins in the list of players with the most wins in the Champions League. This record is only behind Cristiano Ronaldo (115 matches).

Thomas Mueller now has 53 goals and holds the record for being the top German player in the Champions League in the past 30 years, more than double the number of players currently playing, Maco Reus (22 goals) and Leroy Sane (21 goals).

Thomas Muller is also currently 7th in the list of players with the most goals in the Champions League after Cristiano Ronaldo (140), Lionel Messi (129), Robert Lewandowski (91), Karim Benzema (90), Raul (71) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (56). However, of these, only Mueller and Lewandowski are still playing in this arena.

With what he has shown, Thomas Mueller can completely make his mark in the Bavarian Gray Tigers' shirt in Europe's most prestigious arena.

According to the schedule, in the third match of Group A, Galatasaray will host Bayern Munich at home in the match that will decide the top spot in the first leg. However, the possibility of the Turkish representative stopping Bayern Munich's progress is very low.

Meanwhile, MU continues to play at home at Old Trafford with the hope of getting their first win in the Champions League this season, or even getting their first point after two consecutive defeats.
