With both Napoli and Real winning after the first match. Therefore, this match has the meaning of determining the position of the group. The team that wins will definitely take first place, regardless of the result of the remaining match between Sporting Braga and Sporting Braga. This is also one of the most notable matches of round 2 of the Champions League group stage this season.

 

In terms of head-to-head performance, Real has reason to be confident when being a guest of Napoli because in both previous meetings, they defeated Napoli with the same score difference of 3-1. At this time, Real’s performance has improved, regaining the top spot in La Liga after two wins against Las Palmas and Girona.

Confidence in Man Utd is less than ever after recent bad results. The loss to Crystal Palace last weekend was the 4th defeat out of 7 rounds in the Premier League. The pressure is on coach Ten Hag and there are many opinions calling for his dismissal.Having lost to Bayern in the previous round, Man Utd is not allowed to lose to Galatasaray again this round if they do not want to be too far behind, and at the same time help Ten Hag’s chair become less shaky. The fans’ patience has run out and now it’s time for the ‘Red Devils’ owners to step in.

 

This is the first time the two teams meet. The last time Bayern was a guest of a Danish team in the Champions League was the 1998-1999 season, against Brondby. The German team won 5/6 matches against Danish teams. Meeting Copenhagen this time, Bayern will likely improve their winning record.

 

In last season’s Champions League Quarterfinals, Benfica made Inter sweat to draw 3-3 in the first leg but unexpectedly lost 0-2 at home and gave the semi-final ticket to their opponent. This year ‘fate’ brought the two teams into the same group. Compared to last year, both sides’ forces have changed more or less, but in general their strength has not decreased due to the addition of quality personnel.

If they can do that, Lens can think about competing for a ticket to continue in Group B, or at least a place to play in the Europa League. Lens does not have stars in the squad like Arsenal, but has a very clear playing style and full physical strength.

Meanwhile, Arsenal showed how much they have transformed in their first return to Europe’s most prestigious playground after 6 years of absence. Coach Mikel Arteta and his team defeated PSV of the Netherlands by 4 unanswered goals in the first match.
