A tale of two strikers this. Embolo has made Monaco better while Schick has made Leverkusen worse.
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Christ how the hell did Midtijland get out of group stage? Comical defending
All four teams in their group finished with 8 points
Monaco vs Leverkusen is the perfect segue to ours.
Extra time at Monaco now. This has been a great distraction from the build up of the United game.
Monaco knocks it in during the last few seconds and thinks they have won it!! ...But the ball had crossed the goal line prior to the cut back, incredible game!
Oh that group. Tbf it was just one of those games where everything goes wrong. Happened to Sporting in the CL against Marseille.All four teams in their group finished with 8 points
90+5' PSV get their second...
Lads it's Neverkusen
Leverkusen seemed dead on their feet in the final 10 or so minutes, yet Xabi only made two subs so far. Surely he has to react now?
Was a clear penalty for Frimpong for my liking
Should be an easy win for United. Barcelona missing Pedro, Gavi and Dembele.
They've done incredibly well to get to this stage (and to get the draw from Lisbon).
I was fearful of how Wirtz would return after his injury but he's looked great so still hopeful he'll reach his potential.
I wasn't very giddy over Havertz during his last season to be honest
Wirtz looks definite world class potential.Never easy against Barcelona. Do they have a ref consulting department for Europe as well?
Di Maria is one of the greatest playmakers of all time. Snake but you cant deny the mans quality.
Yeah that's why I somewhat corrected my first reaction. But the result in Lisbon was more due to our deep crisys at this stage.
It wasn't entirely clear whether the contact was strong enough to warrant Frimpong's fall and since UEFA's VAR has a very high intervention threshold in general it wasn't that surprising that they didn't act.
What a shambles we are.
Ajax playing a 343. Curious how this will work out.
Proper end-to-end stuff this.
Leverkusen-Monaco was a scorcher but now in extra time it's just 20 dudes waiting for the sweet release of death. They're all shot
If you check Leverkusen's penalty stats you'll quickly realize that there's likely nothing sweet ahead of them.
They have Hradecky, though...lololol
Why did Tah let the ball escape for a corner instead of clearing it?
Leverkusen have been terrible at pens lately, this will be interesting
Leverkusen have probably already converted as many penalties today as in the last two years combined.
Never in doubt, well done Leverkusen
Only a fool would have doubted their ability to see through such a tense fixture.
The fact that Nübel now has a 94.5% penalty conversion rate against him might have helped.
And I just checked, he only saved 1 of those 36 attempts, the other miss went wide.
I don't care how many pundits and Twitter clips try to convince me Weghorst serves a role in the United team, he's useless.
Ajax getting knocked out by Union Berlin? Who would have seen that one coming a few years ago?
Union 2-0 in front... bad mistake from Ajax' keeper, he really shouldn't have let that shot through
NobodyAjax getting knocked out by Union Berlin? Who would have seen that one coming a few years ago?
But despite Union now leading 2-0 and the match in Amsterdam ending 0-0, I think the first leg was even more impressive. Ajax was scared to even enter Union's half despite having lots of possession, today it is just a typical Union match - early lead, effective counter attacks against a team that has to win and there you go.
Just came to post in here about Monaco vs Leverkusen.
What in gods name happened in this game? I'm watching the Utd game on my phone and it seemed like there was 8 goals in 10 minutes?

Penalty shootout.
That makes much more sense
On my phone it just made it seem like it was end to end in extra time!
KUUUUUUUUUUUUUDUUUUUUUUUUUS!
And there's the 3-1... Union's resilience this season is really impressive, amazing how often they score just minutes after conceding.
Funny is that they really have problems against Schalke & Co.
Then they have to take more ball possession - but Ajax had 70% when I looked it up around half time. Then they are fine...
