      He superbly headed home a David Alaba cross to put Los Blancos 2-1 ahead after they had gone behind early on.
      It means he has now scored 15 goals in 16 games in all competitions since arriving in Spain.
      That includes four in four in the Champions League.
      Those strikes add to the six times he found the back of the net for Borussia Dortmund in Europe’s elite competition.

      It takes his Champions League goal tally to 10 in 27 matches.
      And it also means he is only the fourth player to reach the milestone before his 21st birthday – which is not until June 29 next year.
      The only others to have achieved the feat are Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
      It is just the latest landmark Bellingham has managed after another sensational few days.

      The England man scored Real Madrid’s final goal in a 3-0 win over Cadiz on Sunday.
      The strike meant he racked up more goals in his first 15 games for Real Madrid than any player in the club’s history – scoring 14 in that period.
      The record was previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stefano and Pruden, all of whom scored 13 in their first 15 matches.

      Why Manuel Neuer was Man Utd’s unlikely hero as he keeps them in Champions League after Galatasaray nightmare

      by

      MANUEL NEUER was Manchester United’s unlikely hero as he kept them in the Champions League – for now. United twice led Galatasaray, where they needed a win to leave their Champions League fate in their own hands.

      But twice they were pegged back in what ended in a six-goal 3-3 thriller in Istanbul.
      It left them rock bottom of the group and needing Bayern to avoid a shock defeat at home to Copenhagen.
      But the Germans – who already progressed top of the table – almost suffered a shock loss in the dying embers of the match.
      Mohamed Elyounoussi’s towering header forced the German No1 to get down low to his left side.

      And he did excellently well to then save the rebound effort and help Bayern clear the ball to safety.
      It means United still have a glimmer of hope in qualification when Thomas Tuchel’s side travel to Old Trafford.
      They will need a win and for Copenhagen and Galatasaray to draw in order to progress to the knockout stages.
      So with United’s chances just about alive, fans were quick to thank stopper Neuer for his heroics.

      Lazio
      RB Leipzig
      Borussia Dortmund
      Bayern Munich

      Rule breakers
      Galatasaray have been accused of breaking a little-known rule to score their first goal against Manchester United, with some claiming it should have been disallowed.
      Hakim Ziyech sparked the hosts’ comeback as he whipped a free-kick past Andre Onana after United had raced into a 2-0 lead.
      However the goal could have been chalked off as Mauro Icardi appeared to commit an infringement as the shot was taken.
      That’s because he was only 61 centimetres away from Rasmus Hojlund, who was standing in the wall, according to beIN SPORTS.
      That’s less space than the should be allowed to have.

      Copenhagen remain level
      Still no goals at the Allianz Arena.
      Copenhagen have managed just one shot on target in the match.
      Eyes are on Harry Kane to get a goal that could really help Man Utd.
      0-0 in Germany
      Bayern Munich vs Copenhagen is currently goalless.
      As it stands the group looks like this:

      Bayern Munich 13pts
      Copenhagen 5pts
      Galatasaray 5pts
      Man Utd 4pts

      It means things will go down to the final matchday on December 12 and United will need to beat Bayern and hope Copenhagen vs Galatasaray ends in a draw.
      Hargreaves reacts
      Owen Hargreaves reckons United are making too many mistakes, given the incredible amount of goals they’ve scored.
      He told TNT Sports: “United scored three in Munich and lost, three in Copenhagen and lost and three again here and didn’t win. If you had said before [those games] that you would score that amount of goals, no one would ever have believed you.
      “They are scoring enough goals but making mistakes which are costly in the Champions League.”
      Another record…
      Without wanting to harp on about the goals conceded….It is the reason United are in this mess.
      It’s the most goals an English side has conceded at this stage of the competition – by quite some way too…
      14 – Most goals conceded by an English team five games into a Champions League campaign:14 – Manchester United (2023-24)11 – Manchester United (1994-95)11 – Tottenham (2019-20)10 – Manchester United (1998-99)10 – Manchester City (2012-13)10 – Arsenal (2015-16)Circus.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) November 29, 2023

      Elsewhere….
      There’s still no goals in the late game between Bayern Munich and Copenhagen approaching half time.
      Remember, a shock win for the Danes would knock Man Utd out tonight….
      MOTM
      Hakim Ziyech was awarded the man of the match tonight.
      UEFA’s Technical Observer Panel said: “He was very effective coming in from the wide-right position, making excellent passes and creating several goalscoring opportunities.
      “He scored two free-kicks and claimed an assist with an excellent pass for Galatasaray’s third.”
      He’s got someone else to thank for that….
      Shipping them
      Andre Onana has conceded 14 goals in Man Utd’s five Champions League games.
      Only Antwerp have conceded more this season.
      Celtic – who have been pretty abysmal in the competition – are the other side to have conceded as many as United.

      Making improvements
      Finally, he concludes by insisting his side are on the right tracks and he’s pleased the project is moving in the right direction.
      He finished: “It’s me to blame, it always is. But we are a project and we’re making improvements which is very hopeful.
      “We’re going in the right direction and I know the steps we have to take.
      “I’m sure we will be successful in the long term.
      “Short term, if we want to stay in the Champions League we have to win the next game.”
      Ten Hag continues
      On the three goals conceded tonight, he doesn’t put the blame on his goalkeeper who he signed.
      He insisted instead that they were avoidable before reaching that stage.
      He continued: “I think every goal we conceded has its own story. They come from transition moments that we spoke about and we don’t block the middle.
      “The second we gave away a needless free kick but we have to defend the free kick better.
      “And the third we were organised but got run off. It can never happen, you get punished for mistakes in the Champions League.
      “We’ll fix that [losing a lot of goals]. I’m very pleased, you can see the style of this team; proactive, dynamic and brave. We created so many chances.”
      Ten Hag reacts
      On the disappointment of dropping two points, he told TNT Sports: “We should have taken all three points, clearly.
      “But we should have done that in other games, too. Away to Copenhagen, home to Galatasaray, we play so good.
      “For that I have to compliment the team but at the same time I have to criticise them as defending we aren’t good enough.
      “Winning 3-1, we can’t afford to make these mistakes as it makes the difference.”
      Here comes the manager
      Erik ten Hag has emerged from the away dressing room.
      We’ll have his comments in just a mo…..

      On those two free kicks…
      The United captain stopped short of blaming the keeper, pausing after saying the two goals conceded were soft.
      He added: “I have nothing to explain – there’s nothing we can do now.
      “We lost two goals because of mistakes by…ourselves.”
      And here he is…
      The Man Utd captain was scathing in his pre-match words.
      He says his team must always look for a better and final pass instead of taking chances themselves – putting the team first and foremost.
      He told TNT Sports: “It’s obviously really bad. We lost really bad goals and had to have control of that situation.
      “We were on top twice and had far too many chances to close out the game but we weren’t clinical enough.
      “Sometimes we need to get our head up and find that extra pass before trying to take chances ourselves. It is about the team and not ourselves.
      “We have to be cleverer and manage the game better.”
      Everywhere
      Much has been made of Bruno Fernandes in recent weeks but he was solid tonight.
      He scored an absolute belter to send United on their way at 2-0 and almost clinched the winner when striking the post from 25 yards late on.
      His tireless work often goes unnoticed but he was imperative at both ends tonight.

      Scholes blast
      Paul Scholes says Andre Onana was to blame for all three goals tonight.
      And he says the keeper makes the whole team nervous with his displays.
      He told TNT Sports: “What can you say, more terrible mistakes again. The second goal was weak.
      “He just makes people nervous. He makes his defence nervous – he makes the team nervous!
      “He makes simple saves look really, really difficult.
      “He shouldn’t be beaten at his near post, his positioning is poor. Again, all three goals are down to him.”
      Goals no problem
      Scoring away from home in this competition doesn’t appear to be a problem.
      They scored three in Munich, three in Copenhagen then three tonight.
      But they’ve taken just ONE point in doing so.
      A two-goal lead at Copenhagen went on to be a defeat and then that draw tonight.
      Match by numbers
      A mad 33 shots on goal occurred in that game – probably most in those last 10 minutes!
      Just four of United’s 17 efforts were on target though.
      Though they were clinical in scoring three of those!

      How it leaves things
      It means United are still bottom of Group A.
      They’ll be OUT of the Champions League if Copenhagen beat Bayern Munich later.
      Regardless, they know they’ll need to beat Bayern Munich at home on match day six to progress.

      Crazy draw
      They were 2-0 and 3-1 up in the game, but again Man Utd’s mental fragility seems them throw away points.
      Andre Onana isn’t their solution in the Champions League and has badly let his teammates down again.
      Garnacho, Fernandes and McTominay all scored good goals, but the keeper’s inability to keep out two average Ziyech free kicks and a late strike sees them drop points on the road again.

      FULL TIME!
      What an absolutely bonkers 90 minutes.
      Somehow, Manchester United leave with just one point from it.
      That leaves them in a tough position in the group.
      Galatasaray 3-3 Man Utd
      Galatasaray 3-3 Man Utd
      90+2. Dalot wins a corner.
      Fernandes’ first ball is mince, doesn’t beat the first man.
      It comes back to him and the ball is sent in from the left and McTominay heads well, well wide.
      Galatasaray 3-3 Man Utd
      90+1. McTominay almost gets to a ball through the middle but Muslera rushes out his box to volley clear.

      Arsenal 6 Lens 0: Gunners run riot to top Champions League group with a game to go with six different scorers

      by

      ARSENAL blasted through the speed barrier as they racked up their 100th Champions League victory to secure their place in the last 16.Mikel Arteta had complained that his team have been stuck in traffic all season and struggling to find a bit of open road in their opponents’ penalty area.

      But they finally hit top gear to leave bewildered Lens stuck on the grid and in desperate need of emergency repairs.
      On the fourth anniversary of Unai Emery’s Emirates sacking, the Gunners are once again firing on all cylinders and ready to become a major European force.
      It is hard to believe just how quickly Arteta has turned this club around after celebrating his 200th match in charge at the weekend.
      And this scintillating victory was arguably the pick of the bunch from a team who are now top of the Premier League and safely through to the Champions League knock-outs with a group game still in hand.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      Poor Lens certainly didn’t know what had hit them as they were buried under a first-half avalanche.
      Their travelling fans tried to stop the rout by igniting dozens of red flares which they had smuggled into the away end.
      But no-one was going to answer their distress signals as Arteta’s vibrant young team ran riot.
      It means that Arteta can now give his stars a well-earned night off for their final Group B game in Eindhoven next month and put all his focus on protecting their lead in the Premier League.

      PSV’s dramatic late win in Sevilla earlier in the evening meant that Arsenal kicked off still needing a point to be certain of qualification and a victory to secure top spot in Group B.
      And it was clear that Arteta was leaving nothing to chance as he named his strongest available team to get the job done as quickly as possible.
      Having suffered a surprise defeat in Lens eight weeks earlier, it was imperative that Arsenal didn’t give their opponents any kind of encouragement this time.
      And boy did they follow those orders to the letter.
      Kai Havertz almost gave them the dream start Arteta wanted when he headed narrowly wide from Takehiro Tomiyasu’s deep cross.
      But having scored his first Arsenal goal from open play at Brentford at the weekend, the £65million German international didn’t have to wait long for his second, bundling in from close range after Gabriel Jesus had pounced on Salis Abdul Samed’s defensive error.
      Jesus added a second midway through the first half, sitting Kevin Danso on the seat of his pants before coolly slotting home.
      Saka joined the party when the ball flew in off his midriff after keeper Brice Samba could only parry Gabriel Martinelli’s 24th-minute shot.
      And when Martinelli made it four with an unstoppable shot into the far corner three minutes later, we were all checking the record books for Arsenal’s biggest European win.
      That search intensified in first-half stoppage time when skipper Martin Odegaard volleyed home from another peach of a cross by the overlapping Tomiyasu.
      It meant that all five Arsenal forwards had netted in the same half, which surely had to be some kind of landmark.
      Last night’s game was exactly five years since the 17-year-old Saka made his Arsenal debut in a Europa League game against Vorskla Poltava.
      And just like his team, the young winger has come on leaps and bounds since then.
      The England star has become accustomed to being kicked from pillar to post by opposing defenders who simply can not cope with his speed and his skill.
      Last night was no exception as his opponents took turns to stick the boot in, so it was a blessed relief when he was replaced by Reiss Nelson midway through the second half with the game already well and truly won.
      Havertz barely put a foot wrong with his passing
      Declan Rice ran the show in midfield once again
      Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Declan Rice were also handed an early cut by Arteta as his thoughts turned to Saturday’s home game against Wolves.
      But there was still time for Jorginho to bury an 86th-minute penalty after Abdukodir Khusanov had handled in the area.
      Everyone at the Emirates is painfully aware that the Champions League is the one trophy still missing from their CV despite qualifying for 19 consecutive seasons under Arsene Wenger.
      The ambitious Arteta is determined to put that right but admits that his team are still a long way from giving sleepless nights to the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
      Read More on The Sun
      Yet they are clearly heading in the right direction and this resounding victory will only intensify the confidence in the camp.
      That 7-0 win against Slavia Prague in 2007 might be safe for now. But these young Gunners are determined to make Champions League history and Arteta won’t let anyone rest on their laurels. More

      Man Utd running out of time to convince rivals to alter Champions League rules and could face impossible task to qualify

      by

      EUROPE’S top clubs are split over a possible Champions League ban for Manchester United.SunSport revealed how Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s ownership of French side Nice, who sit second in Ligue 1, means United might have to WIN the Prem to qualify for next season’s competition.

      Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to buy 25 per cent of Man UtdCredit: AFP
      This is because of Uefa “integrity” rules.
      Ratcliffe hopes to own a chunk of United by next season.
      He is currently finalising a deal to buy 25 per cent of the club for £1.3billion.
      Meanwhile, some clubs want Uefa bosses to rewrite the rulebook to allow “multi club ownership” teams to play in the same competition.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      That includes a number of sides in the powerful European Club Association, which has board members — including Manchester City’s Ferran Soriano — who are part of multi-club organisations.
      But other ECA clubs are resisting changes — with the idea of clubs under the same umbrella being able to only meet in the knockout stage being seen as a step too far.
      And finding a solution in time for next season is seeming increasingly unlikely.

      FORGET “sexy football” as Irish FA chief Patrick Nelson thinks VAR is  football’s eye-catcher.
      Most read in Champions League
      Most of Tuesday’s Heathrow session of the International FA Board was about what Welsh FA boss Noel Mooney described as the “cancer” of poor player behaviour and its impact on refs.

      Nelson added: “We often get tied into the sexy stuff here about semi-automated offside technology or referees announcing decisions after a VAR on-field review.
      “But a lot of what we talked about was behaviour and culture in the game.”
      “Sexy”? Not even for nerds like me.
      REBEL CLUBS’ RULING HOPE
      SUPER League rebels are still hoping for salvation from next month’s European Court  ruling — which  is expected to sound the project’s death knell.
      Real Madrid, Barcelona and their PR arm, A22, believe the 12-month wait for the final verdict of the Luxembourg court means there could still be a change from the “non-binding opinion” of its advocate general.
      That argued almost entirely in favour of Fifa and Uefa and their right to sanction clubs who tried to create a breakaway competition.
      The insurgents, though, believe the December 21 final ruling may give them some leeway to go it alone without the fear of punishment.
      GAME ON
      UEFA’S latest win over Fifa has come off-pitch in the virtual realm.
      Fifa’s three-decade partnership with EA Sports on the world’s best-selling football video game ended last season, with it now going under the game makers’ name.
      That has left a gap for Euro chiefs with “Uefa Euro 2024” to be a free update for EA Sports FC 24 before next summer.
