Will Man Utd fall into the group of death?
The MEN site recently held a draw to simulate the Champions League group stage. Accordingly, it is interesting that the two Manchester teams fall into uncomfortable groups.
Specifically, with the position in seed number 2, the Red Devils fall into the group including the presence of PSG, AC Milan and Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad is the team that beat Man Utd last season. Meanwhile, the other half of Manchester is also not comfortable when falling into a group consisting of Real Madrid, Lazio and Lens.
In fact, a group of death can appear right from the group stage, if Man City, Real Madrid, AC Milan and emerging giants Newcastle are in the same group.
It is also important to note that little-known teams in group 4 can absolutely create great ‘dribbles’ right from the group stage. Union Berlin, Lens or Galatasaray are all very good clubs at home.
Their experience is almost inferior to that of big teams. However, the desire to express themselves on a big playground can cause tycoons to encounter certain difficulties. For example, in December full of pitfalls, no big man wanted to march to Türkiye or move to East Germany to be a guest at Union Berlin.
