Manchester United secured a crucial victory in the Champions League against FC Copenhagen, thanks to Andre Onana's last-minute penalty save. Real Madrid also emerged victorious, with Jude Bellingham scoring in their win against Braga. Arsenal triumphed over Sevilla in a rainy match, while Harry Kane helped Bayern Munich to a tough win against Galatasaray.
Before the game at Old Trafford, Manchester United paid tribute to the late Bobby Charlton, holding a minute's silence in his memory. The Red Devils claimed their first points in Group A with a 1-0 win, courtesy of Harry Maguire's header in the 72nd minute.
Although the win keeps United's hopes of advancing to the last 16 alive, they had to rely on Onana's brilliant penalty save in the 97th minute to secure the victory. The penalty was awarded when Scott McTominay fouled Mohamed Elyounoussi in the box, but Jordan Larsson failed to convert the chance. Coach Erik ten Hag praised Onana's save, describing it as incredible.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich continued their dominance in Group A with a 3-1 victory over Galatasaray. After Kingsley Coman's early goal was canceled out by a Mauro Icardi penalty, Harry Kane restored Bayern's lead in the 73rd minute, scoring his 11th goal in 12 games for his new club. Kane then assisted Jamal Musiala to seal the win. Bayern have now won 16 consecutive matches in the Champions League group phase and remain unbeaten at this stage for over six years.
In Group C, Real Madrid maintained their perfect record with a 2-1 win over Braga. Rodrygo and Bellingham scored for Real, while Alvaro Djalo pulled one back for Braga. This victory marked Carlo Ancelotti's 200th game as a coach in the competition. Real can secure qualification for the last 16 when they face Braga in their next match.
Napoli sits in second place in Group C after a 1-0 win against Union Berlin, with Giacomo Raspadori scoring the only goal in the second half. Arsenal bounced back from their previous defeat to Lens with a 2-1 win over Sevilla in Group B. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus found the net for Arsenal, while Nemanja Gudelj scored for Sevilla.
Lens is second in Group B after a 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven, with Elye Wahi equalizing Johan Bakayoko's opener. Inter Milan, last season's beaten finalists, are joint top of Group D with seven points after a 2-1 win against Red Bull Salzburg. Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty secured the win for Inter, while Oscar Gloukh canceled out Alexis Sanchez's opener. Real Sociedad is level with Inter after a 1-0 win over Benfica, with Brais Mendez scoring the only goal. Benfica is still without a point and faces the possibility of an early exit from the competition.
