Live Champions League 2023/24 group tables, results and fixtures; Man Utd lost 4-3 to Bayern Munich; Arsenal beat PSV 4-0; Celtic lost 2-0 to Feyenoord; Newcastle drew 0-0 with AC Milan; Man City beat Red Star 3-1
The Champions League returns this week and we bring you the state of play, tables, results and schedule…
The group stages kicked off a fortnight ago, with Manchester United losing 4-3 to Bayern Munich, Arsenal beating PSV Eindhoven 4-0, Celtic losing 2-0 to Feyenoord, Newcastle drawing 0-0 with AC Milan and Manchester City beating Red Star 3-1.
The key talking points from those games included new Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana conceding his “start in Manchester has not been good” after a tame shot from Leroy Sane trickled in against Bayern.
The Gunners kicked off their first Champions League campaign for six years in style with goals from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard. David Raya kept the No 1 jersey – and a second successive clean sheet – after replacing Aaron Ramsdale against Everton three days earlier. Ramsdale has only started one game since – against Brentford in the Carabao Cup.
Newcastle produced a defensive masterclass in a goalless draw at AC Milan with Nick Pope facing 25 shots, of which nine were on target.
In-form Julian Alvarez netted twice and Rodri sealed the win as Manchester City came from behind against Red Star.
Cetic fell behind against Feyenoord from a Calvin Stengs’ free-kick in first-half injury time and suffered a ‘second-half implosion‘ when Gustaf Lagerbielke received a second yellow card on the hour mark, before Odin Thiago Holm was handed a straight red minutes later.
This week, Manchester United host Galatasaray, Arsenal travel to Lens, Newcastle welcome Paris Saint-Germain to St James’ Park, Manchester City visit RB Leipzig and Celtic host Lazio.
