European Games are back again, from mid Feb

I just switched on the Barcelona/Man U game, and it rather took me aback to register (of course, I knew, but still) that it's the Europa League.

    Someone shoulda told them that they're big clubs and should be in the final stages of Europe's biggest club tournament every year, like, guaranteed like. If only there were a way.....🤔🤔🤔

    The stars almost aligned last season. I bet we have a much better final than Frankfurt Vs Rangers this season.

    You've gotta feel whoever wins out of Man Utd and Barcelona has got a huge chance of winning the Europa.

    Well I hope it’s Barcelona..

    Whilst I do not like Man Utd at all, I hate the way Barcelona have done their business over the last few years, and I think they (alongside Chelsea, City, Juventus, PSG, and a few others) are everything that is wrong with football. I don't mind them knocking Man Utd out, but then I would want them to lose the next round.

    Just a reminder that the draw for the next round of the ECL is tomorrow at 2pm (I think).

    Hopefully we can swerve the two Italian teams as other than that we would be favourites in every other match Imagine.

    I'd like Fiorentina and Lazio to get paired with Villarreal and Nice. Just to get two of them out of the way.
    Anderlecht sounds good, we have beaten them twice already this season despite our atrocious form.

    Those are CET times I think, 11am and noon here.
  • Ravel49Ravel49
    Even better 👍🏻
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So we don't want Lazio as we would probably have to play the first leg at home as Roma are at home in the Europa.

    Best draw we could probably get really. Bit of a journey though !
  • alderzalderz
    That’s an amazing draw for us. We could even rest one or two…
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Almost perfect draw, just needed some of the other better teams to have a more difficult draw. If there were any conspiracy theorists out there they imagine UEFA wanted all the higher profile teams to reach the later stages.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    You have the 3rd v 4th (Lazio v AZ) and 5th v 6th (Gent v Basaksehir) ranked teams, on start of season coefficients, playing each other.
    Also the 15th & 16th (Poznan v Djurgaarden) are drawn against each other.
