Man United Set Unwanted UCL Records With Bayern Loss

Following a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich, Manchester United made history as the lowest-placing Premier League team in the Champions League.

The German powerhouses emerged victorious from their final group stage meeting at Old Trafford thanks to a goal by Kingsley Coman in the second half. United, who finished bottom of the table with just four points from six games, were eliminated from Europe.

United let in a whopping 15 goals in the group stage this season. According to Opta, that is more than any Premier League team have conceded in a single Champions League group stage campaign. Only Royal Antwerp, who play their last game on Wednesday, have conceded as many in this round. Meanwhile, Squawka says they are the first English team to finish bottom of their group on two occasions, having also done so in 2005-06.

United had to win their match against Bayern and pray for a draw between Galatasaray and Copenhagen. Rather, the Danish team prevailed 1-0 over the Turkish team to guarantee their spot in the competition’s round of 16.
