Battled to the end, leading 1-0 – but ultimately beaten. VfL Wolfsburg could only withstand the Red Devil attack for one half in the 'Theater of Dreams'. After a turbulent week for the Wolves, they ended up losing 2-1 (1-1) to Manchester United in the famous stadium of Old Trafford, despite putting in a courageous performance.
Schweinsteiger celebrated by English fans
The defeat to Bastian Schweinsteiger’s Red Devils was a setback for VfL in their quest for the Champions League knockout stages. Daniel Caligiuri (4') allowed last year’s Bundesliga runners-up to dream, after scoring early on. The midfielder was then penalised for handball in his own box, resulting in a Juan Mata penalty and a deserved equaliser (34'). The second United goal was set up brilliantly by the Spanish wizard Mata, allowing Smalling to slide in and convert (53').
Man City beat Gladbach 2-1 after last-minute penalty
Borussia Mönchengladbach are on the verge of bowing out of the Champions League after losing against Manchester City's star-studded team. Borussia lost 2-1 (0-0) in the final minutes to last year's Premier League runners-up on an emotional night, and remain without a point in this year’s so-called ‘Group of Death'.
Nicolas Otamendi (65') and Sergio Agüero (90' pen) turned the game on its head in favour of the Citizens, after Lars Stindl had scored for the hosts (54'). The Borussia fans loudly supported their players throughout the match, a macth that represented their first Champions League home game in 37 years. Things could have ended very differently, after Raffael missed a penalty in the first half (20').
This was the first loss for interim manager André Schubert, who has recorded two wins in the Bundesliga already.
