The night just ended and several of Europe's top clubs put in a great show, with the likes of AC Milan, Arsenal and Real Madrid winning the tournament in addition to Manchester United.
Manchester United, who lost 1-0 at Newcastle United and have lost five times this season against the Premier League giants, are clearly still in need of reinforcement when facing strong opponents.
Throughout the game, Manchester United was basically in a passive situation, especially in the first 45 minutes of the first half, they were completely suppressed by Newcastle, if it were not for Maguire and Onanado's multiple clearances, Manchester United would have been completely crushed by the opponent.
In the 56th minute of the second half, the game finally ushered in a breakthrough, when United's pass from the back was intercepted, and then Newcastle attacked, disrupting the United defence with three passes and two cuts, and finally Gordon easily slotted the ball into the edge of the box to give the home side a 1-0 lead.
Seeing his team falling behind, Manchester United coach Ten Hag was depressed and disgruntled, and it was obviously difficult for his team to accept that his team had conceded in this way. Due to a lackluster attack on the road, United eventually lost 1-0.
Having lost to Tottenham, Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City in previous games, and now to Newcastle, it is unfortunate that United have struggled against strong teams, and now it seems that United will only choose to pinch the persimmon. After the defeat in this game, Manchester United have been overtaken by Newcastle and dropped to seventh place.
If they don't change their weakness against strong teams, there is little hope of fighting for a top-four finish this season. AC Milan won 3-1 against Frosinone. After losing to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, AC Milan desperately needed a response, but they didn't disappoint their fans.
AC Milan won 3-1 and Jovic scored his first goal since joining.
Towards the end of the first half, AC Milan took the lead on a counter-attack, and after a block, the ball found Jovic, who quickly volleyed the ball into the net to break the deadlock.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Maignan received a long ball and Christian Pulisic burst into the box before slotting home a one-on-one shot that essentially sealed the game. Both teams then scored a goal each, and AC Milan had the last laugh.
With this victory, AC Milan are on a winning streak in Serie A and are temporarily three points behind arch-rivals Inter Milan with a game in hand. Now that AC Milan are at risk of being eliminated from the Champions League, they can no longer afford to be surprised in Serie A.
With the strength of AC Milan's squad, if they play all in the league like Juventus, they may have a chance to win the title!
