Europa League 21/22

Oh yes n where tf is clown Alex? I demand an explanation for yet another European near embarrassment XD

An unlucky groundsman about to get his p45 for not watering the ground properly. Barca couldn't play Xaviball but hey style matters and Xavi would've been ashamed if Barca nicked it at the end so he did football a favour

Lads, what a beautiful day

Frankfurt v Westham will have apocalyptic scenes, looking forward to it. England isn't ready for Eintracht fans, they're too british.

Btw how the f did Barca allow Frankfurt fans to take over the stadium still can't sell tickets??

Other teams put away fans faaaaaaar faaaar up in one corner

Felt like a Frankfurt home game

Love it when a condescending comment from a player/coach turns around and bites them in the ass

About 90% of the time a knobhead defender does a knobhead foul like that in the box I'd say.

It's comparable to Alexandre Pato scoring after a solo run 30 seconds into the game. This shit doesnt happen often in a knockout return leg no less.

But it's no excuse, we should have easily leveled the game but didnt start playing until 80th minute mark.

The explanation would be it is Barcelona and that's your legacy. Your heritage. Your life.

Yes, he's definitely closer to a Mourinho than he is to a Pep or Zidane when it comes to press conferences.

But to be fair to him, he didn't lie. It was different on their pitch. The ball did move well, and as a result, Frankfurt hit them with three.

Sounds impressive until you realize Lyon are managed by Peter Bosz

And now for the main event of the week!

West Ham (4-2-3-1) Areola; Johnson, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio.
Substitutes: Fabianski, Randolph, Alese, Coufal, Masuaku, Fredericks, Kral, Noble, Chesters, Vlasic, Benrahma, Yarmolenko.

Eintracht Frankfurt (3-4-2-1) Trapp; Tuta, Hinteregger, Toure; Knauff, Sow, Rode, Kostic; Kamada, Lindstrom; Borre.
Substitutes: Grahl, Horz, Hrustic, Lammers, Hasebe, Ache, Chandler, Hauge, Da Costa, Lenz, Barkok, Goncalo Paciencia.

Referee Serdar Gozubuyuk (Netherlands).

What a massive game. The last, and only prior meeting between the two clubs was:
The semi final of the 1975/76 Cup Winner's Cup
West Ham won over two legs.

Also happening tonight:
RB Leipzig: Gulacsi; Gvardiol, Henrichs, Halstenberg; Laimer, Adams, Klostermann, Angelino; Olmo, Nkunku, Szoboszlai.

Rangers: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Bassey, Barisic; Jack, Lundstram; Aribo, Kamara, Kent; Wright.

I think Red Bull vs WestHam and Eintracht v Rangers would have been better pairings, but we will see what happens. I am glad to see Szoboszlai finally getting a start, no less in the greatest, toughest, most prized European club competition.

What are you watching?

Watching Leipzig v Rangers, 0-0 at the half, Leipzig with more possession and most of the game is being played in the Rangers half, but no real scoring chances. Rangers were getting more play as the half progressed and will probably nick a goal.

Why are you watching Leipzig

And what TV station would broadcast Leipzig over a classic like Frankfurt- West Ham

Frankurt are back up, 2-1, and it comes at the end of a gorgeous passage of team play

Unlike most Germans, I am not bothered by Red Bull and as an Austrian, I like to watch ex Salzburg players and players from the Austro Hungarian Empire.

Though this looks like it is going to end 0-0, Nkuni just missed a great chance, that he created himself

Kamada hits the post!

Leipzig will take a 1-0 lead to Glasgow and Frankfurt keep beating teams I expect them to lose to, possibly due to them overtaking opposition stadiums.

That was fucking amazing by the way.
