Manchester United out of the Champions League, see how they could face Liverpool in the Europa League

Manchester United could not overcome Galatasaray and complicated their stay in the Champions League. Erik ten Hag's side drew 3-3 against Galatasaray in Turkey, where they recorded their first draw of the season and further jeopardized their chances of advancing to the last 16. At the start of the match, the Red Devils caused an upset with two goals in less than 20 minutes, silencing the Turkish fans, who had tried to intimidate them with a shocking reception at the start. 

Before the first quarter of an hour, Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring with a strong shot from the left sector, while Bruno Fernandes did the same in the 18th minute of play, when he finished off the goalkeeper with a powerful mid-range finish. Despite this good start, Manchester United began to get complicated at the back in the face of the increasing arrivals of Galatasaray, who knew that they could not give up so early in the match.

As expected, the Turks took advantage of the momentum of their crowd and the defensive errors of the opponent to reach stoppage time with a low free kick from Hakim Ziyech, which gave life to the team at a key moment of the night. In the second half, Scott McTominay scored the third at the start, giving his teammates some peace of mind ahead of the outcome, taking into account how things had turned out in recent Champions League matches. However, when it seemed that the English had regained full control of the match, Galatasaray gathered their courage in attack and reached the equalizer in less than 10 minutes, taking by surprise an opponent hit by the uncertainty of qualification.

<strong>The Possibilities</strong>

if Manchester United is eliminated from the Champions League and qualifies for the Europa League, there is a chance to face Liverpool. However, this would take place until the round of 16 since countries from the same country cannot face each other in the sixteenth rounds.
