⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

*Man U win, but no more goals were created 'lol'...
I thought it was really a great match, 2 big teams with the same strength and cohesiveness competed but Man U was more fortunate, Pogba was the 'man of the match'.

It was a good game to be frank and i have to admit that i feel the Lindelof was solid from first minute to the end and should get the Mman of the match plaudits. Fred impact was great too, as him winning the ball back created the goal for MUFC. A good performance from the team; and now they can look forward to the next round.

AC Milan (1) 0 - 1 (1) Manchester United

Tottenham hotspur are out, after MOU Boys bottled a 2 goal lead, what next now for Jose? Arsenal meanwhile are through despite the defeat tonight

That moment when Europa league is more exciting than Champions league. What a dinamo win.

Tottenham is leaving with nothing this season, Dinamo Zagreb showed unexpected surprise in the world tonight, kudos to the teams and their supporters as well. All thanks to DZ forwarder Mislav Oršić who scores the hat trick tonight giving greater chance for them to another round with Arsenal (not sure though).

I wouldn't call Slavia win over Rangers as big surprise. It was game of similar level teams, but red card was game-changer. And I'm actually surprised that this game ended with just 2 red cards.

The both clubs are average side though Scottish football clubs have done well and had experience than Czech republican clubs for sure, if not for those 2 red cards, the match would have ended at the extra time since the both drew at first leg.

no title again for AC Milan this season, i think they will going to the next round but, MU deserves to be a winner today. For AC Milan, they need to change everything next season if they are qualified for UCL or even only play in UEL, losing Donnaruma and Chalhanoglu, may makes AC Milan hard to compete in Europa.

[ingiltere]

Even though Arsenal lost today, they qualified and that's the only thing that matters. Look out Tottenham Hotspur, they blew a 2-0 lead and lost 3-0. They deserved this elimination.
Ajax, Manchester United and Roma qualified as expected. Quarter finals will be very interesting.

I was gonna make fun of Spurs and whatnot...but i'd rather just congratulate Dinamo Zagreb fans (we have a lot of users from croatia here)  for this amazing achievement 👏👏 Also, two things:

1) A few years ago, Harry Kane had offers upon offers lined up from some of the biggest clubs in the world, but he decided to extend his contract with Spurs over and over again because "loyalty", "wanna win silverware with this club", "i'm comfortable here", "better things are coming"...good job, Harry

2) this happened in Rangers - Slavia Prague

GK seems to be ok, but the aftermath pics are very NSFW, poor guy has two really massive cuts on his forehead and cheekbone, looks like he was in a knife fight lol

[StartupAnalyst]

Of all the matches that have already played for me, the most unexpected result was Dynamo Zargeb - Tottenham. I could not even imagine that they could play like that. And all the rest were quite expected results. It would have been interesting to watch them in the future.

I wwtched game and it was really brutal and painful foul. Here is NSFW photo how goalkeeper looked after it. Still, I think he is lucky, it could have ended much worse. Fortunately, his eyes weren't hit.

Manchester United has been the only british team able to score at least one goal this evening, all other british teams(Totthenham, Glasgow, Arsenal) have left clean sheets to their opponents. Arsenal is qualified but doesn't deserve to be, they've done nothing tonight, they've just tried to not concede 2 goals, that's a disgrace for them.

It's true that only Manchester United have managed to score a goal from all the British teams, Manchester United deserved to win and qualify for
the next round. Unfortunately Ibrahimovic has just recovered from injury, so he cannot play from the start of the match and can only enter in
the middle of the second half. Regarding the Arsenal match, it was very clear that they were more focused on defending and trying not to concede
2 goals, boring match from Arsenal. Very different from Arsenal's game when they beat Tottenham in the Premier League.

Every team has successful and unsuccessful matches, but as they say, just for a beautiful game, victory is not given and the score on the scoreboard is the most important thing that happens in football. Ibrahimovic said after the match that he was disappointed with the outcome of the game, but urged to think about the next match. I was disappointed with Tottenham, who did not play with due responsibility and left the Europa League.

2) this happened in Rangers - Slavia Prague

it's not a footballer but some kind karate fan. he could kill Slavia's goalkeeper. if he wants to fight MMA waits for him )

I didn't know there was an incident like that at the Rangers - Slavia Prague match, it's regrettable that an incident like this happened in a prestigious European competition.
By the way, from the overall result of the match I think only Tottenham have had bad luck or maybe underestimated their opponents because they were 2-0 on aggregate. Lol!
Anyway, congratulations to Zagreb on making a comeback and of course this is a surprising result, because I personally initially thought that in this round it looked like there would be no team that would make a comeback, but I was wrong.

Tottenham performance was woeful today even Mourinho admitted that his players '  players failed at the basics of life' indeed a disgraceful defeat having a two goals advantage or lead against Dynamo Zagreb should have been well defended however they squandered their chances of qualifying for the next round of the competition.
Mourinho might likely face a sack with the poor results and the chances of Tottenham reaching EPL top 4 getting out of his reach

No I don't think the score on the scoreboard is the most important thing that happens in football as you say, because if Arsenal is only able to prevent its opponent with one red card from scoring 2 goals to qualify them it means they won't be good enough to beat the other teams. Tomorrow we will know its next opponent, I hope they will meet a strong team in quater-finals like Ajax, AS Roma or Manchester United.

Even if Ryan Jack is out, still 2.29 - 2.38 is big enough and TBH it's very tempting. I will seriously consider including it in my parlay for today's matches...

That was a trap It was really tempting but I'm glad I stuck with my bet on Man U (single) instead of a parlay.

It would be reckless for Tottenham board to do that now. There are only a few games left and changes like that would make the team more unstable than it already is. They might as well grind this one out until the end of the season and prepare for the transfer window to rebuild/recalibrate the squad for next season.

[leea-1334]

Congratulations Croations. My team crashed out of Europa League which Mourinho thought he could win for us. I knew it was over the way we played even when the whistle blew for extra time already. You guys also played not bad in the first leg to be honest.

Hattrick hero will not be allowed to sleep. Please go on and win this okay?

[cryptobet24]

Yesterday I bet on 6 matches and guessed only 3 of them...
I was very surprised by the English clubs! Especially the Spurs game... I was sure they would win!
So once again I see that England has an interesting league, but their clubs are terrible in other leagues...

This is not the point. it's just that there should always be a place for sensations in football, otherwise it will become predictable and uninteresting. So it does not depend on the league or tournament.

Believe me, but we (Croatians) were also not expecting this. But Dinamo has had sparks of success like this that lead to nowhere in the end. Too much turbulence in the club itself, constant leadership and coaching changes, and a constant player fluctuation may take its toll for Dinamo to be consistent on this.

[swogerino]

Yesterday games I think have upset so many sport bettors as most of the games did not go as expected with many big teams losing to small ones.The lesson to learn at least for me in such case is to play carefully the weekend games and forget about yesterday.

[Koal-84]

Dinamo was the biggest surprise of the day, Prague also surprised me a bit, but the Rangers with the red cards took themselves out of the game. I'm happy for Manchester, I wouldn't have expected after the weak first game. Now I'm looking forward to the draw.

Results from yesterday.
