Manchester united is still struggling to beat their opponent, despite the squads they use to start the game and the game ended up draw 1:1 in the 45 minutes. Real Madrid is showing Napoli that they are not small team they can beat easily in this UEFA champions league because, Real Madrid is leading the game with 2:1 to calm the stadium down for their fans to seat comfortable in their various seat. If Real Madrid can maintain this solid defensive through out the game it will be the thing of joy for them to celebrate for topping their group table because, once Napoli make some changes in the second half they may use the opportunity to draw the game 2:2 , and that is their major target in this second half if Real Madrid are not careful.
Of all the matches played today, between, Man united Galatasaray, Real Madrid and Napoli, Arsenal and Lens. I am more impressed with Real Madrid's win over Napoli. They showed that spirit of consistency even though the goalkeeper was close to a flop. I didn't know how Ancelotti has been able to manage Kepa in this match. Like seriously, he conceived early goals like no other. That's quite unprofessional of a goalkeeper playing for such a big club.
However, Vinicius my guy, was able to warm the club up with the first equalizer. Then, Jude Bellingham made the fans proud by netting the second goal. I enjoyed the way Bellingham pushed the ball forward from the 40 yards out and maneuver his way through to the 18 yard and scored a fantastic goal. Last of it was the effort put by Valverde and unavoidably assisted by the Napoli player to cause an own goal.
Btw currently Arsenal are still losing 2-1 to Lens and it looks like my multi for Arsenal and Madrid failed in this second match because the score is still unfavourable for Madrid and Arsenal.
I'm not impressed at all with the way Arsenal played it's match today. I wasn't impressed with the manager as well. All I was expecting was a straight win but otherwise happened. Although Lens had the struggles of holding the match, but Arsenal had all it takes to control the game. Loosing over Lens is not encouraging for the UCL. Unfortunately, Saka went off injured and had to leave the match from the first half. That I felt was part of the reasons why the team could not hold it stronger. I would not say, Vieira didn't try, but Arsenal needed more striking force. This further commensurate my opinion that Arsenal needs more squad depth to take this league. Especially from the Saka's angle.
