Europa League 2018/19

The insanely and absurdly long qualification process has begun. The 2nd qualifying round gets underway this Thursday, with some cracking ties:

Serie A hipster club Atalanta vs Sarajevo
Hibernian vs Asteras
Osijek vs Stevie G's Rangers
Third Best Scottish Team Aberdeen vs Ginger Mourinho's Overachievers Burnley
Future Tournament Winners Sevilla vs Ujpest

Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, Lazio, Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen are already in the group stages.

SPL revolution ffs

Would be quite an ujpset if Sevilla lose this match.

They have to play qualifiers???

They finished 7th last year, so yes.

Burnley last year by far exceeded their realistic point tally (if you look at average expected goals stats), their squad is old AF (now a year older) and they haven't signed a single new player yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are in big relegation battle this year...I think ginger Mourinho is gonna throw the match.

FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME

After :



I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978

Hibs

Sevilla sending out a message with a 3-0 lead over Ujpest. Navas, Ben Yedder and Sarabia with the goals. Roque Mesa dominating the midfield.

Not sure if beating a Hungarian pub team down to 10 men counts as sending a message

Atalanta just smashed these Bosnian farmers 8-0 away ffs. 19 year old Musa Sow Barrow scoring a hattrick

Sevilla strolled to a 3-1 win against Ujpest. Will now play Vaduz in the next round, which will probably be another huge win.

Burnley needed ET to get past Aberdeen, but they're going through, too.

Burnley drew with Istanbul Basaksehir in the 1st leg away. Good result i suppose. They should win at home.

Rangers winning 2-1

Atalanta, the new age club, wins 1-4 against Haifa in a come back after being 1-0 down.

Saw Feyenoord were smashed 4-0 by some Slovakian team. EL

Sevilla a goal up vs Zalgiris thanks to a Banega golazo.

i thought Burnley was part of the GOAT league, full of proper Brexit lads on top of that. Disappointing to not destroy Erdogan's official club.

Remember when people were saying Spalleti or AVB winning titles with Zenit was no achievement and anyone could do it ??

Since then, they haven't even qualified to CL ... and are pretty much our of EL already having been trashed 4-0 by neighbours Dynamo Minsk of Belarus yesterday.

Hulk and Witsel
