It rained all morning and it rained all afternoon and it rained all evening in Istanbul. But it did not rain enough to douse the fires of Hell. Manchester United endured the tortures of the old Ali Sami Yen stadium 30 years ago and last night they suffered the agonies of the damned in the new one.
United played some wonderful football and scored three superb goals in a stadium notorious for its intimidating atmosphere but two dreadful mistakes by their goalkeeper, Andre Onana, allowed Galatasaray to recover twice from two-goal deficits to claim a 3-3 draw that leaves Erik ten Hag’s side bottom of Group A with one game left.
