Here it is-the last day in the Europa league groupstage. Some dissappointments were seen along with brilliant matches and outstanding results. But anyway the points are all thath matter disregarding the good games. Now some teams are sure about their qualification in the next round and are aimig for the gold medals and the cups: Manchester City, Lech Poznan, Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting Lisbon, Villarieal, PAOK, Dinamo Kyiv, Bate Borisov, CSKA Moskva, Sparta Prague, Zenit, Stuttgart, Young Boys, PSV Eindhoven, Metalist Kharkiv, Paris Sait-Germain, Sevilla, Liverpool, Napoli, Porto and Besiktas. On the other hand there are still battles(some direct, some indiect) for a place in the last round. Team such as Anderlecht and AEK Athens, Lille and Gent, Atletico and Aris are in a desparate need of points to insure their place in the next round. Even though these teams will give the maximum of their skills some of them will evenually be eliminated. At last teams such as Zaszburg, Juventus, Rosenborg, Levski,Dinamo Zagreb, Club Brugge, Sheriff, Loussane Sport, Hajduk Split, Getafe, Odense, Debreceni, Sampdoria, Karpaty Lviv, Borussia Dormund, Steaua, Utrecht, Rapid Wien and CSKA Sofia have lost their chancesfor the last 32 teams to continue. Nevertheless there are some other factors such as the internal cups that are the most important for some of these tams and their elimination is not such a big deal.
Whoever are in the final this year are in for a real treat as the final will be held in the brand new Aviva stadium in Dublin, Ireland. I have visited the stadium on 2 occasions and cannot give it enough praise for what a unique piece of architecture it is. The football coupled with Dublin city will make for a fantastic event.
ReplyDeleteThank for the information. I'm sure it will be a great match and I suppose the atmosphere around the stadium will be overwhelming.
