    AC Milan will be a tough match for anyone but no other side that you would imagine being beyond us at our best. Sadly it's hard to not see Liverpool walking it in third gear this year. British clubs must be favourite for all three trophies as Villa should take the Conference and then Liverpool and City the main two.

    We will need to find our form again before we can anticipate progressing to the business end of the competition, and that has to start tomorrow.

    The only hope with Liverpool is Klopp resting players in the Europa League, given the squad is pretty thin. If they take it seriously, hard to see anybody knocking them out.

    Three seasons in a row in Europe, three seasons in a row we topped the group. Impressive feat, that. Now go on amd reach the quarters.
  • stevesteve
    Never mind the Quarters , We need to win this thing
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I big nod to Brighton, they had they hardest group in my opinion and got off to a bad start but still managed to win their group. If we don't win it I hope they do, and if they don't then anyone but Liverpool.

    Yeah, I wouldn't fancy going away to Turkey at the moment, when a club chairman punches a ref you know things are getting a bit out of hand

    Also the blokes who own my local corner shop are massive Gala fans so I would like to be able to buy some beers after the match

    Presumably that's the corner shop in London, not West Virginia. =)

    Indeed, got back to the Smoke Wednesday morning but still seriously jet lagged

    And its a lot colder here than over there in the Appalachian mountains

    Good news is the future Mrs shrugged should be moving to London in the spring so no more 8 hours transatlantic flights plus three hours sat in Charlotte waiting for a connecting flight

    Games played 15th & 22nd February

    Draw for Round of 16 23rd February
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    First legs were played last night, not too many surprises apart from Qarabag of Azerbaijan winning 4-2 away to Braga. Apart from a 3-0 win by AC Milan at home to Rennes, there's were only 2 other matches with more than one goal in it; the aforementioned Qarabag result and Sporting winning 3-1 at Young Boys, so plenty to play for in most of the second legs.

    Last night's first leg results:

    Feyenoord 1 Roma 1
    AC Milan 3 Rennes 0
    Lens 0 Freiburg 0
    Young Boys 1 Sporting 3
    Benfica 2 Toulouse 1
    Braga 2 Qarabag 4
    Galatasaray 3 Sparta Prague 2
    Shakhtar Donetsk 2 Marseille 2

    Sporting have the hottest striker in Europe this season, Goykores, with 28 goals in 30 games plus a few assists. Not too much of a shock imo.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    edited February 16
    Goykores has 24 goals (4 penalties) in 24 domestic games plus 4 goals (2 penalties) in 6 Europa league games
    ,
    Joao Pedro is top Europa League scorer with 6 in 6

    Interestingly Brighton sold Goykores to Coventry City in July 2021 for £1m who sold him to Sporting after two seasons for £17.5m plus £3.5m add ons

    Made 8 appearances for BHA in cup competitions, scored against Pompey in 2020
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    I must admit I watched a few Coventry City games towards the end of last season as we were being linked with him. I wasn't overly disappointed that we didn't get him, and, despite the season he's having for Sporting, I'm not convinced he'd have done particularly well for us and the way we play under Moyes.

    Second legs of the knockout games are played tonight, with the draw for the last 16 taking place tomorrow.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Two of the early fixtures have gone to extra time. Qarabag, 4-2 up after winning away at Braga last week, had a man sent off in the 57th minute and then conceded twice in normal time for a 4-4 aggregate score. After a 0-0 draw in the away leg, Freiburg then went 0-2 down at home to Lens, but scored twice, including one in added time, to send their tie into extra time.

    AC Milan and Benfica are the 2 teams already in the hat for the last 16 draw against one of the group winners.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    10 man Qarabag win extra time 2-1, losing 2-3 on the night but winning 6-5 on aggregate. Freiburg win 3-2 after extra time and by the same score on aggregate.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Sparta Prague, Sporting Lisbon and Marseille join AC Milan, Benfica, Qarabag and Freiburg in the list of possible opponents for us; Roma and Feyenoord have gone to extra time for the last place.

    So only two teams from the Champions League got through

    The draw could be a bit complicated, Slavia Praha can't be drawn against Sparta Praha, Leverkusen can't be drawn against Freiburg and Atalanta can't be drawn AC Milan or Roma

    Has that ever happened before? Getting drawn against a team you played in the Group?

    Freiburg must be pretty peeved at that!

    I think it happened in one of the competitions last season, and Leverkusen and Qarabag were also in the same group this season.
