CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: ARSENAL, NAPOLI, UNITED WIN PLUS OTHER MATCHDAY 3 RESULTS

The Champions League game between Napoli and Union Berlin was fiercely contested as the German Bundesliga club showed unprecedented confidence against the Italian champions who played without their injured talisman Victor Osimhen. It was a lone goal from Giacomo Raspadori in the 65th minute of the game that made all the difference.

Manchester United who have suffered two successive defeats in the Champions' League group stage this season were arguably the biggest winners of the night.

The Premier League giants bounced back from defeats against Bayern Munich, and Galatasaray to beat Copenhagen courtesy of a 72nd-minute goal from the most unlikely individual, Harry Maguire.

Even Andre Onana who is seen as a problematic goalkeeper at United turned up for the club tonight as he saved a last-minute penalty to secure United's 1-0 victory.

Arsenal also returned to winning ways after surprisingly losing their matchday two clash against Lens. Tonight, they started their UCL clash against Sevilla like how they ended their Premier League game against Chelsea last weekend.

In the additional time of the first half, Gabriel Martinelli opened the score sheet for Arsenal. While in the 53rd minute of the second half, another Brazilian, Gabriel Jesus, doubled Arsenal's lead.

Sevilla who hosted the Premier League club at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán didn't go down without a fight as they got one goal back in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, that ended up as a consolation goal as the game ended 2-1 in Arsenal's favour.

Mourinho Sacked by Roma: On January 16, the famous manager, Jose Mourinho, was fired by Roma and had to leave Stadio Olimpico. This happened after he led the team to consecutive European finals. Unfortunately, Roma's performance dropped, and they ended up in ninth place in Serie A. Mourinho's History of Firings: Mourinho has had a tough time with different teams like Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Real Madrid. This is actually the sixth time he has been fired in his career. It seems like he has trouble staying in one place for too long. A Surprise Move to Barcelona? Even though Mourinho has had some conflicts with other teams, his agent is thinking about a surprising move for him to take over at Barcelona. Barcelona is actually the rival team of Real Madrid, where Mourinho used to be the manager. It would definitely be an interesting twist if he ends up coaching Barcelona. Xavi's Struggles at Barcelona: Right now, Xavi is the manager of Barcelona, bu...
