PSV Eindhoven vs. Manchester United
Don’t underestimate the effect of the Shaw injury on the players. Ultimately not good enough but must have shocked the team

Hector Moreno getting a lot of criticism for the tackle on Shaw. Awful to watch but Moreno really isn’t a nasty player.

Well played PSV…nothing more to say really…
— The MUFC Academy (@mrmujac) September 15, 2015
Fellaini introduction of no use to anyone other than PSV. As per my earlier tweet, surely Pereira or Wilson would have been better options.
— Doron Salomon (@DoronSalomon) September 15, 2015
From what I saw of United (ie last 15 minutes), that should be that for Fellaini as a striker. He’s a hindrance rather than a help.

Manchester United look very, very average. No chance in the Champions League.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 15, 2015
I think there is a certain beauty in having a game plan, executing that plan and coming up the winner. PSV had that and they won with it.
— Jonas Giæver (@CheGiaevara) September 15, 2015
Wow, now that’s a turn up for the books. PSV’s victory put into context: starting XI + subs = €26.7m to assemble. MUFC’s team cost €357.5m.

Manchester City vs. Juventus
Manchester City just don’t have the confidence in Europe. Lack big game players & look frightened against the big European clubs.
— Daniel White (@danwhitepr) September 15, 2015
No buzz for Champions League at City, neither on the pitch nor in the stands. Flat and poor from the team. Sterling’s poor finishes cost us
— Will Unwin (@Will_Unwin) September 15, 2015
You know City have problems when they lose to a team who struggled to beat Chievo on Saturday night #CityJuve
— Scot Munroe (@ScotM87) September 15, 2015
Yaya is kidding himself when he says Juve were “lucky.” Also says it’s “a lesson,” how many do City need in Europe? #MCFC
— Jack Rathborn (@JackRathborn) September 15, 2015
City v. Juve is going against everything that domestic action has taught us this season.

Another game, another Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick. #RMCF pic.twitter.com/gstNthh5nR

A hat-trick for Ronaldo. 8 goals in 2 games. Bonkers!
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) September 15, 2015
Ronaldo has scored 8 goals in two games. Best striker in the world. If he let’s others grow around him, RM will compete for everything

PSG vs. Malmo
Di Maria appears to be picking up where he left off in his last Champs League game…
— Dermot Corrigan (@dermotmcorrigan) September 15, 2015
FULL-TIME: #PSG 2-0 #Malmo. Pretty average performance from PSG, but goals from Di Maria and Cavani give them the expected three points.
