Manchester United crashed out of European club competitions after losing 1-0 at home to Bayern Munich. At Old Trafford, the Red Devils needed a must-win win and a draw between Copenhagen and Galatasaray in Denmark, but defeat by the Bavarian giants left them bottom of Group A.
The match at the Theater of Dreams offered little spectacle, being decided by Kingsley Coman's pinpoint intervention in the 70th minute. Thomas Tuchel's men had already secured a place in the last 16 as group leaders, but greeted themselves with another success over the Manchester side, who suffered their fourth defeat in six group games.
In the other game, Copenhagen, who in United's loss needed just a point against Galatasaray because of their superior goal difference, earned the three points at home after Lucas Lerager's winner, who was eventually sent off for a second yellow card. However, this could not prevent the joy of the Scandinavians, who surprised even themselves by exiting a group with Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Galatasaray. The Turkish club will continue its participation in the Europa League.
In Group B, Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven had already secured first and second place in the group respectively by drawing 1-1 in the Netherlands. Lance did not allow a loss against Sevilla and won at home with 2:1, which is quite enough for the French team to play in LE - Andalusians finished their campaign in the Champions League at the bottom of their group and missed the opportunity to participate in their favorite tournament again .
In Group C, Napoli expectedly took home Braga 2-0. An own goal by Serdar Saatchi and a goal by the selected African Footballer No. 1 Victor Osimen were enough for the Italian champions, who will join Real Madrid in the round of 16. The Royal Club made a comeback at the visit of Union Berlin for the final 3:2 and left Braga in the third position in the final standings, which gives the right to participate in the Europa League.
In Group D, Real Sociedad kept their top spot after the last round of matches after drawing 0-0 away to Inter. The Nerazzurri needed a win to win the group, but in the end they didn't get it and the San Sebastian outfit stayed on top thanks to their better goal difference. Benfica will play in the Europa League after a 3-1 away win over RB Salzburg - the Portuguese giants progress by scoring more goals than the Austrians, after both teams ended up exchanging wins by two goals, equal points and equal goal difference .
