Champions league and Europa League qualification thread 17/18

[RealGunner]

Rangers eliminated from the Europa League by Progres Niederkorn—Luxembourg’s fourth-best team

[Jay29]

Nearly tops Celtic going out to a team from Gibraltar last year.

Kosovo had it's first participant ever in the Champions League and it obviously went very wrong

Vikingur 2-1 Trepça '89
Trepça '89 1-4 Vikingur

Hagi's club Viitorul beat APOEL 1-0 tonight. Amazing achievement if they could pull this off

[Kaladin]

Milan vs Crackovia tonight

Hagi's club Viitorul beat APOEL 1-0 tonight. Amazing achievement if they could pull this off

Great to see someone mentioning it here

Everyone in Romania doubted Hagi's capacity to coach, after the adventures as a manager of NT and Galatasaray. And he said what the heck, i'm building a football club, that is Viitorul.
He invested like 10-20 million euros and built from scratch a youth academy in Romania and Viitorul FC and he managed to win the title last year with a bunch of talented young players, and few experienced ones

He's a big fan of Cruijf's ideas, and Viitorul plays very attractive football.

Would be amazing for Hagi to qualify in UCL group stage, he's so passionate and dedicated to football, and he invested his fortune in it, in a country where this sport struggles for some time.

it's Craiova

RODGERS REVOLUTION FFS



Liverpool Vs Nice would be a fun match.

[sportsczy]

Balotelli didn't play Rincon.

[rincon]

My sources tell me that Balotelli scored one of the goals that knocked Ajax out.

He didn't make the team sheet for the return leg.  He's injured.

Plea was immense, however.

[rincon]

I believe you in ligue 1 related things, but telling me that he didn't play while citing a video of him scoring is hard to take tbh

[sportsczy]

But that was the first leg dude 1-1

Second game today ended in 2-2 draw.

[rincon]

Who spoke about only 1 leg? The ties are 2-legged

Getting eliminated partly due to a Balotelli goal is too hilarious not to point out.

[zigra]

Who cares.

We can just sell Dolberg and Sanchez. Will bring far more money than the CL would.

We didn't though. You made that up. We qualified for the champions league.

[Jay29]

You know, that was such a long time ago I completely forgot. I remembered the first leg, not the second. My mistake.

ditto with Napoli

good stuff

[Doc]

Most "electric" attack in Europe to be eliminated by Hoffenheim, too good to be true really. But one can dream a bit...
