How so? I see maybe 5 or 6 decent teams!

As Real Madrid fan ( and I envy you for this ) you haven't observed accurately past EL groups

Some teams looked like created from PES server

some decent teams up there ... would be worth watch

West Ham winning 2-0 away to Zagreb

Tournament favourites imo

Leicester 1-0 up against Napoli

DAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Leicester 2-0

no goal after 10 mins of celebration

BARNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

2-0

What a goal by Osimhen

So, a match day of Europa league happened and not a single post?

Have the hipsters moved on to the Conferencce League.. but not a post about that one either

Waiting for Barca to live up this comp really...

Was too busy watching us in the Conference League.

Pick of the night has to be the game between PSV and Monaco - I tuned in a while ago and it seems to have been a good first half

PSV: Drommel - Ramalho, Obispo, Mwene, Max - van Ginkel, Boscagli, M. Götze - Madueke, Vinicius, Gakpo
Bench: V. Müller (Tor), Mvogo (Tor), Teze, Gutierrez, Mauro Junior, D. Pröpper, Thomas, Bruma, Romero, Vertessen, Zahavi

Trainer:
Schmidt

AS Monaco: Nübel - Maripan, Disasi, B. Badiashile - Tchouameni, Aguilar, Fofana, Jean Lucas, Caio Henrique - Volland, Boadu
Bench: Majecki (Tor), Mannone (Tor), Jakobs, Matsima, Pavlovic, Akliouche, Diop, Gelson Martins, Matazo, Ben Yedder, Isidor

Trainer:
Kovac

Monaco are 1-0 up, interesting game not least beause of the involvement of 3 Bayern München legends, Niko Kovac, Neuer successor Nübel and of course Mario Götze

also starring: Bayer Leverkusen legends Volland and Roger Schmidt, Chelsea legend van Hinkel, Spurs legend Vinicius, Augsburg legend Max and a bench role for RB Leipzig legend Bruma

interesting also to take another look at the hyped youngster Noni Madueke

The question arises

can Barca win EL? i think no

It's the first Europa League experience for a generation of Barca fans

those Thursdays are going to be mad fam

Barca fans missed out on the authentic Europa Experience though

scouting Kyrgzstani teams and the fields that serve as their home grounds

hits different

you're basically playing in a CL rejects comp with a bunch of strong teams

and I don't think you'll remain in it for very long

My way of watching football is being a fan of a specific player. Its all started with Batistuta. First batigol, then Saviola and now Messi. Only team i truly support is Argentina national team, and i choose my next idol from Argentines. After Messi i have no candidate yet

But now i feel i have some feelings towards barcelona, it hurts to see them play in thursday nights instead of wednesday nights. Its really strange and painful to see them among these second tier teams

no worries, i did it all for you, i  did it my way

Yes  5/6 years in a row of Europa League were hell for me

Qarabag, Beer Sheva, Stjarnan, Dnipro, Hajduk Split . Sad groups composed by sad teams to face every Thursday

I' celebrated the CL return as a title

Thank god we didn't finish third and had to play this shit competition.

How good is Napoli? Better than this Barca or not? We get past them pretty easily in the previous seasons in the CL, n they mostly just arent CL level n get relegated into Europa mostly iirc?

they have a ton of injuries atm, if they're at full strength when you play, you're getting a spanking
