Two in-form teams failed to meet. Lens drew 1-1 with PSV at home. Of course this result is a success for PSV. If I remember correctly, Lens finished 2nd in the league last season with 1 point difference behind PSG. A 1-1 draw away to a team that dominated the French league last season must be promising. Both teams had plenty of chances but didn't make the most of them. We could have seen more goals in the match. I don't know if PSV can get out of the group but I think this group will be more competitive than the other groups.
PSV are really in a tight situation no doubt but it was actually quite expected as their are not that strong when it comes to playing in the champions league. But when it's comes to comparing these two team performance currently now , I think I would count PSV a better team because of their ability to win games their league and although their opponent the french team actually finished second but still no doubt that this PSV team is actually better in performance.
There is one lesson I would want us to take home in this Manchester United match Vs Copenhagen in the Champions League. Infact there are more than 1 lesson, let's go this way;
- Any player(s) performing badly for a long time or have been inconsistent just only one match to lift the player. The confidence of both Maguire and Onana is boosted, wait for great performances from henceforth
- Always be humble even when the whole world is against you. There is rarely any player that will receive criticism and attack as Maguire and his football career will not end. Maguire dealt with all this in silence, he is a true hero
- There could still be a win after two consecutive losses
Of course Maguire must be able to show his best performance to help Manchester united achieve their targets this season. Well, he managed to get up and everyone was happy to see him play like before, where he became the strongest wall in Manchester United's defense line.
In this match, everyone didn't expect him to score a goal and maguire goal was one of the goals that was able to bring Manchester united to victory in this match. He needs to be praised and he remains humble. I think Manchester united fans who used to make fun of him now they have to praise him.
Both maguire and Onana must fight to be in their best form because winning this match opens up opportunities for them to qualify for the next round. Because I see that the competition in Group A is quite difficult for them because Galatasaray is also playing better in the Champions League this season.
