MANCHESTER, England -- It's been a slow death for Manchester United in the Champions League, but that doesn't make Tuesday's exit any less embarrassing.
What started with defeat to Bayern Munich in September ended with another defeat to the Bundesliga champions, this time 1-0, in Manchester in December. But the damage wasn't done at Old Trafford on Tuesday, but in defeats to Galatasaray in October and FC Copenhagen in November.
The bottom line is that a team that concedes 15 goals in six group stage games does not deserve to go through.
