      Group A table
      Manchester United can only hope for a second-place finish in Group A as Bayern Munich have won all four of their Champions League matches.
      United are bottom of the group with one point separating them from Copenhagen and Galatasaray, who are second and third respectively.
      A win would seriously boost the Red Devils’ hopes of qualifying to the Last 16 as they could find themselves in second place with six points if the Danish champions also lose to Bayern.
      A draw would keep Erik ten Hag’s men alive heading into the final game against the German champions but would need Copenhagen to drop points.
      If the Danes beat Bayern then United will have to beat the Bavarians in the final match and register a better goal difference than Jacob Neestrup’s men, provided that they lose to Galata.
      And a loss would see them out of Europe with the Turkish champions reaching seven points, which means they will be desperate for Copenhagen to drop points so that they can at least hope to finish third.

      Galatasaray team news
      Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk is also dealing with injuries ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash with Manchester United at Istanbul.
      Davinson Sanchez limped off on Saturday’s 4-0 league win over Alanyaspor with a hamstring injury.
      Buruk is also hoping Abdulkerim Bardakci will also be fit after dealing with a knock.
      If Bardakci does not pass his late fitness test, Victor Nelsson would be in line to start at centre-back.

      Man Utd team news
      Manchester United take on Galatasaray in a must-win Champions League match tonight at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium.
      However, United will be without the suspended Marcus Rashford, while Jonny Evans faces a late fitness assessment and Jadon Sancho is still out of the senior squad due to a disciplinary issue.
      Manager Erik Ten Hag is still facing a lengthy injury list with Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro sidelined.
      Kobbie Mainoo could also get an opportunity after his first ever Premier League start against Everton on Sunday.

      Alexander Isak’s Dream Team viability sky-high having averaged a goal every 79 minutes since mid-September

      by

      NEWCASTLE came ever so close to an epic Champions League rearguard on Tuesday night.Eddie Howe’s side were a minute away from a win over PSG in the French capital when the hosts were given a generous penalty, one that (probably) wouldn’t have been awarded in the Premier League.
      Kylian Mbappe’s converted the spot-kick to break the hearts of many Dream Team managers who would have been delighted if the likes of Nick Pope (£4.2m) and Kieran Trippier (£5.2m) had held out for an improbable clean sheet.

      Partially lost among the chaos was Alexander Isak’s (£4.2m) goal but Dream Team bosses would do well to take note of the Sweden international’s efforts.
      The former Real Sociedad forward was on hand to fulfil the role of poacher when Miguel Almiron’s (£3.4m) shot was parried into a dangerous area by Gigi Donnarumma.
      Isolated for much of the game, Isak nonetheless pouched eight points at the Parc des Princes, doubling his tally for the Gameweek – he opened the scoring against Chelsea at St James’ Park on Saturday.
      16 points has to be considered a particularly impressive return for Gameweek 13 considering Isak was an availability question mark right up until he was named in the starting line-up at the weekend.

      The 24-year-old missed five games while injured and it’s because of his spell on the sidelines that many Dream Team gaffers will not be aware of his clinical conversion rate when available.
      Isak has now scored seven goals in his last nine appearances at an average of one every 79 minutes – a run that began in mid-September.
      Most read in Football
      This fruitful spell that has yielded 67 points at an average of 7.44 per outing since the start of Gameweek 6.
      The stats paint a portrait of a striker in fine form who will provide healthy returns so long as he can avoid further injury setbacks.
      Plus, Isak’s minutes are assured as along as Callum Wilson (£4.4m) is sidelined and, regardless, the pair have flourished even when forced to share game time in the last year.
      The Magpies are in the midst of a chronic injury crisis but their convincing victory over Chelsea, who went toe-to-toe with Manchester City before the international break, proved they remain capable of impressive performances and results.
      Their fixtures across the next two Gameweeks are far from easy – Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham, AC Milan – but Isak is certainly capable of extending his points-laden streak against such opponents.

      Newcastle’s No14 has scored nine goals in all competitions this season – only Erling Haaland (£7.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£6.7m) are ahead of him among all Dream Team assets.
      Isak’s total of 91 Dream Team points is hindered by his injury lay-off but he actually averages more points-per-game than Ollie Watkins (£4.8m) and Darwin Nunez (£4.5m).
      Don’t underestimate him!

      Riquelme was stunned as he was handed the MVP after the game against the Dutch giants.
      Atletico secured the top spot in Group E as two own goals and a brilliant lob by Mario Hermoso sealed the fate of Diego Simeone’s men.
      But the most heartwarming part of the Spanish giant’s win is when midfielder Riquelme was gifted with the award.
      The La Liga side shared his reaction on their Instagram and the ex-AFC Bournemouth star was almost brought to tears.

      In the clip, he emotionally said: “For me? You are teasing me.
      “I can’t believe this. Is this serious? I still can’t believe it. Holy moly.
      “You believe me when I say this, this is very special for me because I have been fighting for a long time to be able to play here, Atletico Madrid, the club of my life.
      “I never thought I could win the MVP of a Champions League match.

      “This victory is so important for us. For me this is everything.”
      Riquelme joined Atletico Madrid’s youth setup in 2010 when he was ten.
      He made his debut with the reserves in March 2019 and then his first team and La Liga debut in September of that year.
      But after a struggling start to his senior career, he made a move to the English Championship on loan at Bournemouth where he made 19 appearances in the 2020-21 term.
      Then he was sent on another two season-long loans to Spanish second-division side Mirandes and La Liga’s Girona.
      But his efforts have not gone unnoticed as this term he has impressed boss Simeone and made ten appearances and scored two goals.
      And his improving form earned his Spain debut in their 3-1 win over Cyprus last week, coming off the bench for Mikel Oyarzabal. More
