United needed to beat Bayern and hope the Copenhagen &#8211; Galatasaray game ends in a draw to stand a chance of finishing second in the group. All hopes were dashed, however, when Kingsley Coman struck the lone goal in the 70th minute. Erik Ten Hag&#8217;s men finished bottom of the group with only 4 points, suffering 4 defeats in what was their worst ever Champions League campaign in the club&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere Napoli sealed second spot in their group and qualified for the last 16 with a 2-0 win over Braga. A Braga own goal and a Victor Osimhen backheel was enough to send the defending Italian champions into the knockout stages, finishing runners up behind Real Madrid. The Spanish giants themselves sealed top spot with a 3-2 win over Union Berlin. The German side fought bravely to secure their status in the Champions League but a double from Joselu and a Dani Ceballos goal was enough to see Berlin crash out of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal sealed their last 16 slot despite a 1-1 draw with PSV. Lens defeated Sevilla 2-1 while Benfica cruised to a 3-1 win over RB Salzburg. Inter Milan settled for a 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad while\u00a0 FC Copenhagen sealed their last 16 slot with a 1-0 win over Galatasaray to send the Turkish giants to the Europa League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dennis Mungai Manchester United&#8217;s woes continued as they crushed out of the Champions League and from European competitions with a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.
