Former England and Tottenham manager on TNT SportsWhat a strike from Alphonso Davies, fantastic technique.
My word, what a strike!
No goalkeeper in the world would save that.

Man Utd 4-0 Sabah FK
Less than 10 minutes to go and Old Trafford are in fine voice with the three points securely heading their way.
It's looked like that from the opening goal, really.
GOAL - Bayern Munich 3-0 Bodo/Glimtpublished at 21:41 BST
Alphonso Davies (77 mins)
Bang!
Michael Olise's corner is only cleared to Alphonso Davies on the edge of the box and he hits it as cleanly as possible into the bottom corner.
No one is saving that.

Bayern Munich 2-0 Bodo/Glimt
Harry Kane drops deeper to receive the ball in that quarterback position he likes and he very nearly picks out the run of Ismael Saibari.
Postpublished at 21:38 BST
Como 3-1 RB Leipzig
Ezechiel Banzuzi makes the run and the pass finds him just inside the box but his strike is always the wrong side of the post.

I really want to support Mason Mount. He seems like a good kid, coaches like him and terrific teammate, however, he just disappears during games. Watching the game and cannot recall the commentators mentioning his name yet!

Man Utd 4-0 Sabah FK
A lot of chat about Manchester United having two fewer days to recover than Manchester City, who played their Champions League match on Tuesday, before Sunday's derby.
But it has to be said this has been a bit of a stroll for United and Michael Carrick has been able to save a lot of legs to keep his side fresh.

Joshua Zirkzee wriggles free on the left and gets a shot away but it's blasted over the bar by way of a deflection.
Corner to United.

Como 3-1 RB Leipzig
Leipzig keep pushing for that second goal and that would really put the cat among the pigeons.
Assan Ouedraogo tries his luck but he almost clears the stand with that effort.

This would have been a good time for JJ Gabriel to have been given a run out.

He has a go but can't keep it down. If that's on target, Neuer isn't getting there.

Match Facts
Manchester United are set to face an Azerbaijani side for the first time ever in European competition.
In major European competition, English teams have never lost against sides from Azerbaijan in 11 previous meetings (W10 D1), with all 11 coming against Qarabag between 2015-16 and 2025-26.
Manchester United haven’t won their first game in any of their last four major European seasons (D1 L3) since winning 2-1 away at Paris SG in their first game of the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League.
Manchester United last featured in the UEFA Champions League in the 2023-24 campaign, when they were eliminated in the group stage. The Red Devils have won just one of their last nine games in the competition (D3 L5).
Sabah will feature in a major European competition for the first time in their history and become just the second team from Azerbaijan to play in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, following Qarabag (eliminated in group stage in 2017-18, reached play-offs in 2025-26).
This game will be 4 years and 291 days since Michael Carrick's first UEFA Champions League game as manager, in his caretaker spell with Man Utd in November 2021 (2-0 win over Villarreal). Only Gian Piero Gasperini (8y 4d, 2011-19), Vincenzo Montella (6y 350d, 2011-18) and Sergei Semak (5y 182d, 2014-19) have had a bigger gap between their first two games.
Sabah boss Valdas Dambrauskas will be the first ever Lithuanian to manage in the UEFA Champions League – he has lost five of his seven major European games (W1 D1) during spells with Ludogorets and Omonia Nicosia. The last Lithuanian player to feature in the Champions League was Deividas Semberas in December 2011 for CSKA Moscow.
Marcus Rashford has been involved in 25 goals in 48 UEFA Champions League appearances (17 goals, 8 assists). However, Rashford averages a goal or assist more regularly not playing for Man Utd (one every 89 minutes for Aston Villa and Barcelona) than he does while playing for the Red Devils (one every 135 minutes).
Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 15 goals in 19 UEFA Champions League appearances for Manchester United (6 goals, 9 assists), scoring or assisting every 100 minutes. Among players to play 500+ minutes, only Ruud van Nistelrooy (one every 79 minutes) has scored or assisted more regularly.
Veljko Simic is the only current Sabah player to feature more than once in the UEFA Champions League, playing five games for Crvena Zvezda in the 2018-19 campaign without scoring or assisting or ending on the winning side (D1 L4).
