During the Champions League showdown between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, tensions flared as Alejandro Garnacho and Kingsley Coman battled for possession. Coman attempted to muscle past Garnacho toward the byline, but Garnacho forcefully blocked his advance, inadvertently sending Coman crashing into the advertising hoardings while shielding the ball.

The Bayern team took exception to Garnacho’s aggressive tactics, sparking a brief scuffle between the two sides. Peacekeepers from both teams intervened to ease the situation, just as Manuel Neuer prepared for a goal-kick.

One fan humorously remarked on Garnacho’s move, likening it to WWE-style action, while another acknowledged the impact of Coman’s collision with the boards.

Rasmus Hojlund and Dayot Upamecano found themselves at the heart of the dispute, with Bruno Fernandes and Harry Kane engaging in a verbal exchange. Despite this, Garnacho faced no repercussions for his involvement in the incident.

United urgently needed a victory not only to secure a spot in the Champions League knockout stages but also to rebound from their recent heavy loss to Bournemouth. The team was left shocked by Bournemouth’s first-ever victory at Old Trafford. With their upward momentum halted, United now face the prospect of mid-table standing as the Christmas season approaches.

A little fight between the players.
