Manchester City needs to put up a better fight this season if they want to win consecutive titles in the Champions League, but if Manchester City's ability is still not better than last season, it will be very doubtful for Manchester City to win another title this season. Now everyone must have seen how strong each team from the various leagues is in the Champions League, so there are many assumptions that Manchester City might not be very successful in the Champions League this season.
For this season I think the Manchester City team does not have any problems and their performance has been quite consistent since last season.
And it must be admitted that winning the UCL is very difficult because all the top European teams want this and there will be fierce competition, especially for Manchester City who want to defend their title, so far only Real Madrid is the team that has been able to defend the UCL title.
And in my opinion, Manchester City has a chance for that.
United win all their victories with great difficulty - they even beat Luton with a minimal score, although Luton is new to the Premier League and the 18th team in the league. I think their only chance against Galatasaray is to play the bus and hope for a successful counterattack. Maybe United will get lucky and win 1-0, but I don't believe they can win 2-1 or 3-2. The main problem is that United only need to win in this game.
In football, anything can happen, but we also have to be realistic in looking at the statistics of the two teams in the last few matches and their performance. What is clear is that Manchester United in terms of quality/team play is still very bad. You could say their team's game doesn't show that they are a big team.
The match against Galatasaray will be the deciding and final hope for Manchester United to qualify for the round of 16 but I'm being realistic, I think it's almost impossible for Manchester United to win, I watched their team play in the last few matches and it was really bad.
