TNotwithstanding a goal from returning Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United has botched the start of the new Champions League season. At the Swiss champions Young Boys Bern, Manchester lost 1: 2 (1: 0) on Tuesday evening. Jordan Siebatcheu scored the winning goal in stoppage time after a bad pass from Jesse Lingard for the Young Boys, who have been coached by David Wagner since this season (90 + 5 minutes).
Champions League record scorer Ronaldo had scored the first goal of the new season in the premier class (13th). He scored exactly twelve years and 110 days after his last Champions League appearance for United. In addition, Ronaldo became a record player with his 177th appearance – on par with his former Real Madrid teammate Iker Casillas. As can be seen in the photos, Ronaldo also took care of a folder before the game – this was hit by a shot by the Portuguese while warming up.
Manchester had to play for a long time after a red card against Aaron Wan-Bissaka (35th). Moumi Ngamaleu (66.) scored the equalizer for the brisk Swiss – before Siebatcheu made the sensation perfect with the final whistle. Particularly bitter: The sender of the extremely weak bad pass was Lingard, who came on for Ronaldo.
Four penalties and one expulsion
In the Wolfsburg Group G game, RB Salzburg did not get more than 1-1 (1-1) at FC Sevilla despite three penalties and 40 minutes in excess. The German international Karim Adeyemi was fouled three times in the first half. The first was missed by the 19-year-old (13th), the second by Luka Sucic (21st), and the third by Sucic (37th). The German international Karim Adeyemi spoke of “mixed feelings” after the game.
Ivan Rakitic (42.) then equalized with a penalty for Sevilla. Youssef En-Nesyri saw the yellow-red card at the beginning of the second half for an attempt to take another penalty with a swallow.
