Europa League 2018/19

Mustafi is awful

Haller is like 2 yards onside

Jesus Christ how bad are these officials

It was bad, for both teams tbh
Asamoah got yellow card when he had made nothing and he is missing next match for it

Oh sh*t , Yellow card for Lautaro and It means he Will miss next match
And Icardi is out of the team at this moment

Arsenal 10 men

What a goal by Bittergourd

and domenica means Sunday, so it's basically "Sunday German"

That's as good a description of Tedesco's qualifications as coach as any

Robes, how have Inter been?

Wouldn't be surprised if dire not just due to no Naingollan or Icardi but because Hutter's team play exactly the way Inter would falter again.

On for the second half.

Inter has been better and Trapp saved a penalty from Brozovic. Expected MUCH worse.

Thanks Rincon.

Expected the same and very much surprised.

Brozovic not scoring versus Kevin Krapp

This second half is the Inter I expected.

Ben Arfa still got it

We should've brought him home after his disastrous spell with PSG.

Rennes aren't going to do anything. Everyone knows its gonna be 3-4 for Arsenal back in England

Penalty was an absolute outrageous decision though. Pathetic dive, surely not even the Inter player expected anything out of it.

Shouldn't have fallen for this BL hype. Eintracht can't be compared to Atalanta. Inter isn't playing well but are still comfortable.

Waldstadion is just a complete symphony of atmosphere and to perform as such in the Europa League as such is inspiring.

For all you Bundesliga detractors give stick to the league, their atmosphere is the most consistent in the Top 4.

when I see Arsenal are 1-0 up immediately, decide not to watch and then return at full time

I wish he never left Nice tbh, he was great there and it seemed great for him.

Arsenal will make a comeback in the Emirates lets not kid ourselves anyway.

Dire 2nd half from Inter and in terms of football as it is.

No penetration, gameplan per say and their only chance to score was saved by Germany's 8th choice GK.

Bad result for Inter as their record in San Siro in the second leg isn't exactly good and oh, the away goal will knock them out.

Milik makes it 1-0 with a defence splitting pass from Ruiz to be 1-on-1 with the GK and rounds him so smoothly to slot it in its homicide. What a striker.

It was Mertens dropping back and making that pass. Great understanding between them.

Mertens indeed my mistake. When he isn't scoring he's always creating. Huge coup for Napoli ever since Liverpool missed out on him.

Chelsea dominating the first 17 minutes of the game, but they are so open at the back that Dynamo Kyiv could easily become dangerous if they put together a couple of counter attacks.

However, they don't seem to be capable of such fast build ups, but maybe I'm wrong. I can see them scoring from a set-piece if lucky.

While I was typing this post, Pedro scored for Chelsea. Nothing special about this game so far.

Ruiz scores a catapulting volley 20 yards far. off a pass made from a mistake of a header from Salzburg's box.

2-0. Ancelotti's side off to a resounding start in Napoli.

Pedro missing in the most incredible way from just a few yards facing a helpless keeper. Extremely shaky defending by Dynamo. Should've been 2-0.

Another big chance for Chelsea, this time it was Barkley. Kyiv still alive on the scoreboard, but they're pretty horrible on the pitch.

@Arquitescu - Didn't expect Napoli to be leading so comfortably this soon. I mean, they are clearly favorites, no doubt about that, but already 2-0 up against Salzburg is quite great and reassuring I'd say.
