Do clubs like Hacken, Sheriff or Bačka Topola deserve to play GS EL this season? Or clubs like Bredablik, Čukarički or Trnava in GS ECL? They absolutely do not deserve GS with their quality, they serve as cannon fodder there. :mol: How do they get to GS? A privileged path for champions or a privile...

Logic respected in Thessaloniki : Brugge was favorite of the tie, they showed in first leg they were stronger, they had deserved more than 1-0, and despite 5 missing players and the promise of a Toumba Hell, it ended up as a walk in heaven. Apparently PAOK didn't lose at home in all competitions sin...

It would be a sad day for football if PSG win it.
They are absolute favorites against Dortmund. That's the kind of situation in which they tend to fail in dramatic fashion though.

Bayern got hit hard by Harry Kane curse.

Since Igor Thiago signed at Brentford (he goes there this summer), he's been a ghost. He is suspended and won't be missed in Thessaloniki. I don't know why Hans Vanaken didn't take the penalty. Either he was afraid to take it (possible) or he wanted to help Thiago get his mojo back. But when your le...

Liverpool out, Leverkusen with a feet in semis. Good away win for Roma and minimal win for benfica I’m not saying that Liverpool will advance, but I will say that they far from out. Anything is possible, but I can't remember if ever happened losing by 3 goals at home and turned it around? In CL-QF ...

@Lorric Don't know if anyone post it here already but "nice" shirt of England woke NT Was unaware, but I'm actually more annoyed by the quotes from Nike than what they've actually done. It just shows this company is a million miles from what the company making the England shirts should be...

Favorites of each tie according to Opta :

Aston Villa - 59.4%
Lille - 40.6%

Olympiacos - 30.3%
Fenerbahçe - 69.7%

Viktoria Plzeň - 29.8%
Fiorentina - 70.2%

Club Brugge - 67.7%
PAOK - 32.4%

Almost perfect draw for PAOK. If through, PAOK would play the winner of the last game, probably Fiorentina. Brugge can say the same (by the way the order is Brugge - PAOK). Potentially there is a final Aston Villa - Fiorentina that can happen. The winner of Olympiacos/Fenerbahçe has no chance if As...

My draw gave me this :

PAOK - Lille
Fiorentina - Olympiacos
Fenerbahçe - Viktoria Plzen
Club Brugge - Aston Villa

Weak Fenerbahçe at home, Union could have scored 2 more goals (at least : ball saved on the goal line, mistake by the Turkish goalkeeper that Union should have transformed into a goal, and 2-3 other chances) and got a penalty (defender didn't touch the ball). Even last week the Turkish side was only...

I wouldn't say that Fenerbahçe was THAT good against Union Saint-Gilloise, but they surely were more clinical (with a little help though). Fenerbahçe is a dark horse for all Belgian clubs anyway. That's why I believe Fiorentina would have been a better draw than Fenerbahçe. Latest results in Belgium...
