Manchester United have crashed out of the Champions League following a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in front of their home fans. The Red Devils who had pinned their hopes on a victory against the German powerhouse and a favourable result in Galatasaray’s clash with Copenhagen, have now been disappointed all round. Erik ten Hag’s squad struggled to make an impact in the game, and Kingsley Coman scored a 70th-minute strike to hand United a last-place finish in Group A. Harry Kane’s brilliance set the tone for Coman’s finish, having delivered a sublime pass.

The Reds have played in the Champions League for the past five seasons, reaching the final on three occasions and lifting the trophy once. Speaking to BBC after the match last night, Klopp who settled for Europa said they’ll make it their competition. 
He said; “We will make it [the Europa League] our competition. I am not that spoilt. That we are already qualified for the Europa League is incredible with all these teams around us. That’s really difficult and we did it, that is good. “For so long we couldn’t even hear the sound of the Champions League, that’s how far away we were. The Europe League is absolutely fine. Let’s see what we can do.” 
Despite Sevilla’s struggles in La Liga, sitting 13th and still not safe from the threat of relegation, the Andalusians outfought and outplayed Manchester United, third in the Premier League. With the tie level at 2-2 from the first leg, Harry Maguire failed to control a pass from David de Gea after just seven minutes, which allowed Erik Lamela to pick the ball off him and pass it to Youssef En-Nesyri for an easy finish. Loic Bade headed home early in the second half and En-Nesyri added another after a David de Gea mistake. 
Expressing his frustration after the match, Erik ten Hag aimed at the mistakes that had been committed by De Gea as he pinpointed the reason for his team’s defeat. He said; “It’s clear. When we make such mistakes, it’s difficult to win a football game. It’s a problem and we have to acknowledge it but against Brighton, we have an opportunity to work on that. You have seen what I have seen. We were not composed or calm. “It’s a problem, we can’t run away from it. On Sunday we have to step up and show more character and more personality.”
