EL matchday 5

[bjkman1903]

Fenerbahce with Jesus (!) is clutch ?!

What alternate universe is this?

Fenerbahçe under Jesus perform like a regular Portuguese team in ELGS.
They have been very good so far this season, leader in both their EL group and Turkish league.

3-1 ΑΕΚ, they will play in ECL in February.

Dynamo has a terrible European campaign after qualifiers. Despite all the departures of the foreign players I expected much more from them in the group stage.

What departures of foreign players? De Pena, Vitinho, Shkurin, Eric Ramírez and Verbic are the foreigners that left. You think that the difference between finishing bottom of this group or not is explained by any of these players staying or leaving?!

Ok, I thought they "suffered" more due to that decision by FIFA, but at least Verbić was a strong point of Dynamo team (although I admit that when he joined Legia on loan he was very disappointing).

Upset in Zurich, the weak Swiss beat Bodo !

Is any defeat an upset for Bodo away from home this season?

Zurich has 0 wins after 12 matches in Switzlerland, and had only beaten Hearts in Europe, so yeah, I think it is an upset.

Roma is suffering in the beginning in Helsinki

USG's win and 1st place means that Belgium overtook Scotland.

Union beat Braga and are 2nd. If Braga beat Malmö, they also have to win at the Union from Belgium, who are already group winners. But like I said, I would prefer the ECL KO stage for Union. Still a nice win and Bundesliga remains undefeated in all competitions on MD5 so far after 6 of 8 games. Freiburg and Köln games left.

With the usual Bundesliga luck, it would be Fiorentina-Union in the Conference draw.

Oly is leading. Earlier FCSB didnt lose. Something is wrong today.

No remarks about tge referee or VAR today? Looked quite german.

Olympiacos finally fielded a starting 11 without the most hated players (Reabciuk and Bouchalakis) who are getting booed in every home match.
If there is football karma, they're going to get something today.

Buy glasses. I said I'm not a fan of this strict rule for handball in the box. It was a "clearer" penalty than Atletico's, but still harsh. Overall, it's fair that Braga and Union shared points in the two clashes. Could have been also two draws.

ps: what was your opinion about Porto's penalties in Leverkusen?

[Lorric]

Ronaldo blew a massive chance. It's all United though.

[fabiomh]

Var check on 1-0 Roma. Disallowed. 0-0.
Correct decision

[Lorric]

United are so toothless. It's a bit better than Omonia away but not as good as Omonia at home for creation. Still, I think the odds are good they'll find a goal if it continues this way.

But Reabciuk was subbed in because of an injury - now I expect Freiburg to turn it around.

Monaco lead at Fradi, 0:1.
