Well try to find it and see if this isn’t more than yellow….
Surprisingly it's omitted, both from our official highlights and Ajax's highlights:

If you still want me to look, I will if you can find it, but this makes me think it wasn't a red.
Maybe I am too sensitive about these kind of fouls, but I think they are mean as they are not on the ball, but on the person

It won't play. I guess it's country blocked, but it used to tell you that. It just says it's unavailable.

That's interesting. I can understand the first one, but why is Ajax geoblocked? Perhaps they're using someone's TV footage, so are also restricted to their coverage restrictions. Maybe Ricardo can see that one.

For m e the first one is blocked, the second one I can see, but indeed it is lacking Wilkins yellow card. I don’t know how to get an image here. But the ball is already a few meters away as you can see Wilkins flying in with his shoe-pins forward landing full on the ankle of Ramaj.. a pity I can’t post it here….

Aston Villa - Ajax 37,916
Fenerbahçe - Union SG 35,605
PAOK - Dinamo Zagreb 19,701
Lille - Sturm Graz 17,888
Club Brugge - Molde 11,858
Viktoria Plzeň - Servette 11,225
Fiorentina - Maccabi Haifa 6,838
Maccabi Tel Aviv - Olympiacos 370
Club Brugge can't even sell 11k tickets with Molde.
They can't sell out the stadium for the local derby with Cercle.

And yet they've just gone full retard wrt the QF tickets.

They restricted ticket sales only to persons that created an account before the draw.

And now they threaten fans/members not to sell their tickets in the second hand market, because there will be consequences 🤬

There's only one game televised here at 10:45: Plzen - Fiorentina. I'd have chosen Olympiakos - Fenerbahce, but no such luck.

I guess Olympiacos - Fenerbahce is a natural choice for a game to watch for majority of neutrals. I would have a doubt what to watch if it was Sparta Prague - Fiorentina, but somehow I don't feel any special relation towards Viktoria Plzen.

I hope for fireworks in Greece, while in the second match my prediction is a draw or a 1-goal margin win for Fiorentina.

Silly mistake in a build-up by Fener defenders and Olympiacos take the lead. 1-0.

Despite a quick goal for Olympiacos, Fenerbahce had a better start in this game in my opinion. They just made that 1 (very costly) mistake.

Plzen had the 1st real chance, but their attacker just shot wide by a few cms.

Fenerbahce had good first 10 minutes of the match, they played really well. Not much happened between 10' - 30', Olympiacos had a chance after corner kick and a powerful header, but it was saved by the GK.

Fiorentina with 72% possession, but harmless.

Goal! Goal! Goal Olympiacos!

Olympiacos are very clinical today. They scored 2 goals from 3 chances. This time a pass to unmarked striker in the box and a shot from short distance. Fener GK even touched the ball but it went in anyway. 2-0.
