Man Utd outclass Sabah on Champions League return
Azerbaijani champions Sabah received a harsh introduction to Europe's elite with a 4-0 loss to Manchester United.
Manchester United secured a commanding 4-0 victory over Azerbaijani champions Sabah in their Champions League debut at Old Trafford on Thursday, marking their return to Europe's elite competition for the first time in three seasons. Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko, and Lisandro Martinez all found the back of the net as United showcased their superior class over the club formed just nine years ago.
Matheus Cunha opened the scoring in the 27th minute, and the team capitalized on their numerical advantage, adding three more goals before halftime. Despite Sabah's confident start, they struggled to keep up with the Premier League giants, who appeared unfazed by the 74,000-strong crowd. The margin of victory, while emphatic, sets the stage for tougher challenges ahead as United prepare to face Atletico Madrid in their next Champions League match in five weeks.
Other English clubs, including Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Manchester City, also started their Champions League campaigns on a high note.
