Unlucky Manchester United yesterday night which complicated a lot the return leg.Milan is not going to win the Serie A this year and their full focus will be on the return leg.This will make it very difficult for Manchester United but I think Manchester is the better team between the two so it will again be the best game to watch on Tv.

Roma seemed to me the best team equipped for winning this Europa League and after the game I saw yesterday I'll confirm my thoughts. I'll be placing a bet on them winning the cup at the end.
There are only 3/4 other candidates to reach the final and IMHO they're Ajax, Tottenham and Milan.
I don't think the other teams can make it there.

I would add Arsenal and Manchester United for on the candidates who can reach the final. Arsenal did quite well performance in Europa League this season although they did not play very well in EPL. Manchester United, although they could not win against Milan but I think their chance is still 50:50 with Milan to pass the 1/8 finals.

Milan made the 2nd leg vs United really interesting with that last-minute goal. They were good throughout the game and it was well deserved.

I was watching Tottenham - Dinamo and was actually impressed by Dinamo. They were really good throughout the game, did not give much to Tottenham and tried to play football while in possession. Tottenham's quality had to show and it's a shame that Dinamo conceded 2 goals - their performance deserved a result with at least a fighting chance in the return leg. It will be an easy one now for Spurs - which really upped their form recently.

Yes, that's right, this draw was good enough for AC Milan to have a chance to qualify for the next round. Milan may have been difficult to become champions of Serie A, hopefully this will be the first step for Milan to prove that they have a chance to win at better level, as UEL champions. Maybe dreaming to high, but I wish winning over MU makes Milan have confidence in UEL.

all matches finished as expected, good day for betting

I missed just Manchester, expected from them to secure home win, but they did not in the end, Milan is playing a bit hot/cold in last matches, and yesterday there were a bit better than usually

could Ajax won this in the end?

Yes Ajax won the match in the second half, and 2 of the 3 goals are in the last 10 min, bitter for Bern. I don't think you can even turn it at home  

All results from yesterday, and i also think Manchester United can't won the match away.

Milan played an excellent game and the task of not losing and scoring a goal was completely fulfilled. Now the chance for Manchester United to advance to the next round is lower, because it is enough for Milan to play 0-0 to win this confrontation. Manchester was supposed to win at their home stadium, but now their situation is much more complicated.

I'm accord with you, also Milan had 2 goals in the first half that didn't count (offside and hands, but where hands were I still don't know?). Manchester still has to improve significantly so that they can rising up, which I personally don't assume.

Roma won the match with a definite score.  It provided a great advantage for the match to be played in Kiev on March 18th.  This home win was vital for Roma.  I think Shakhtar Donetsk will be defeated in the rematch.

Roma had a really decent performance and got a very deserved win. Shakhtar also were not too bad but they really had not much thing to do against this Roma. We can already say that Roma have guaranteed advancing to the next round. Because in the worst case, we could see a draw in the rematch.

Major matches like this one wouldn't risk big teams like AS Roma.  They play in the rematch with a good team.  Shakhtar Donetsk therefore draws at best.

Manchester was supposed to win at their home stadium, but now their situation is much more complicated.

These days due to the pandemic, home and away stadium has zero impact on the game since there are no supporters to boost teams.
If ManUtd want to qualify for the next round, will have to be a lot more serious. Milan, on the other hand, shows that is in very good form and chances are in their favor.

[Cacingkemi]

I am curious who the big favorite will be to win this competition. Ajax played a very nice and good game but their opponent was weak. maybe Man united, but they will have a hard time to advance against AC Milan.

Ajax actually eliminated a harder opponent which was Lille before this round. But I'd also like to see them against teams like Roma, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester Utd/Milan. When it comes to Manchester Utd-Milan, if Milan didn't score their goal in the last minute (90+2'), Manchester Utd were going to have an important advantage. But now things are much different and even getting a 0-0 score or any kind of win will be enough for Milan to advance. I can't wait to see the rematch. 

[slaman29]

Well, almost come but an unlucky moment. Only if Bale scored that last second chance but he wasted generously. Other games easily came with over goal bets but Tottenham put only two. That was a dramatic finish though I could be happier if Zagreb score too. Kane was on fire as usual.

You should have went with Spurs over 1.5 but yeah I think there should have been far more goals. Very hard to see Spurs not winning this contest, unless United meet them later on. Every other team in there looks defeatable and seems like they haven't learned yet how to defend against Kane!

Young Boys kicked Leverkusen with 6 goals to 3, dunno if Ajax was stronger in yesterday game or YB was weak
The winner between ManU or Milan will be most likely the champion, if not then Roma is a good candidate. Spurs, Ajax +/- Arsenal aren't bad but their mission is more difficult.

That's was really shocking ending what a wonderful scored by AC Milan and not even Manchester United only was only unlucky so many people lost their bets with that result. But Manchester United will have to perform much better in next match to make it way to next round and there is hope for them.

[acquafredda]

Must admit I really enjoyed AC Milan giving a some hard time to Man Utd. If Milan could be a bit more consistent in their performance they could be a great candidate for the final and, why not, for winning the cup May 26. If Ibra recovers and becomes a lion again I bet Milan could win all the games that are left.

[tygeade]

Honestly it looks like all the teams that has a chance to win these games ended up winning the games as well, it is not really that shocking night, everyone expected around these results from the games as well. Scores could be a bit different, after all who could know when and how many could be scored, that is a bit tougher to guess, but it was certainly a night where most favorites won their games, at least from what I know that looks like it, maybe I am mistaken but that is what it looks like to me.

I do not think that other games will be much different neither, it will probably look like it will be same result from same teams aside from maybe few games, I will play individually on all the winners, will not bet on 2 ties because they look similar level, and that's it, I think that will probably end up with a profit for me, that at least looks a bit more possible.

Milan played much better than Manchester Utd despite Ibra was still injured. Manchester Utd were nearly getting a lucky win I think but Kjaer really saved the team with a nice goal. With this advantageous score, they can really close the deal in San Siro. And if Ibra bounces back until the rematch, they will be more powerful in it.

All results are expected without any surprises.
I would not write off Manchester United and I think they still have a good chance against Milan.
I watched the match between Tottenham and Dinamo and the Croatian club paid tribute for their inexperience in such big matches.
Tottenham beat Dinamo even though they played an average game, but that is also a feature of great teams.
