Real Madrid thrash Leipzig 4–1 to maintain perfect Champions League start
Real Madrid maintained their 100 per cent record in the UEFA Champions League group stage with a commanding 4-1 home
Manchester United suffered a devastating 4-1 defeat by Como in their Champions League match on Wednesday, deepening their struggles and putting pressure on manager Michael Carrick. Nico Paz, Jacobo Ramon, and Tasos Douvikas scored for Como, while Joshua Zirkzee netted a consolation goal for United. The loss extended United's winless run in the competition to seven games and came after a poor run of three draws and three defeats in all competitions, marking their worst start to a league campaign in 40 years.
Cesc Fabregas' side, which has risen from Serie B to Europe's elite club competition, was thoroughly outclassed, remaining on three points in the Champions League. The win also boosted Como's position, moving them up to six points. Despite the absence of key players due to injuries, United's lack of response was evident, with familiar flaws exposed.
Manchester United's defense nearly conceded a fourth goal, but Como's captain missed a promising chance.
