FK Suduva beat Sion 3-0 and PSV lose at home to Osijek of Croatia, the two most surprising results of the night. Lithuanian teams performing well in Europe this year. AEK Larnaca will take a 2-0 lead to Minsk, Mlada Boleslav beat Skenderbeu 2-1 at home. Anthony O'Connor had a very decent game for Aberdeen in their 2-1 win versus Apollon. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

AC Milan were really disappointing for all the money they've spent this summer. The stats don't tell the whole story but the team who finished 5th in the Romanian league managed to get in 1 on 1 vs Donnarumma, if he didn't save that it's 1-1 and it gets a bit embarrassing for Milan

Broke the record for a Europa League qualifier tonight, seventy thousand in attendance. They won 2-0 on the night, 3-0 on aggregate. A few surprising results; Osijek beating PSV home and away, Freiburg going out to Domzale and Bordeaux going out to Videoton. AIK are also beating Braga at half-time in the second leg, 1-0 on the night, 2-1 on aggregate. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

The diving from Appollon was even worse than Larnaca I felt, but the referees buy it. The ref went over to their bench at one stage about the fans, telling them that this was the first of three strikes for flares on the pitch. He told them to get that message through!

Anyway back on topic, I think the Everton-Lyon home game should be a good match.

Andre Gray would have been a perfect player for Everton and they stepped aside and allowed Watford a free run, I'd say Koeman is kicking himself. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Amazing magical story about Arsenal's opponents Ostertunds FK.

Their chairman served in the Bosnian war, Managed by an Englishman, Graham Potter. He took over them whilst they were in the 4rd tier of the Swedish League, he wonthe Swedish Cup with them last year to gain entry in the Europa League, beat Galatasaray away from home and received a standing ovation from the Gala fans and a 2-2 draw with Athletic Bilbao. |

Fair play to Osterunds, always great to see smaller clubs have a big win. Well worth it too. Arsenal are continually regressing. Blessed that Napoli are out of this tourney, but the likes of Atletico would eat this lot for breakfast over 2 legs. Will take a hugely soft draw to progress much further.

Arsenal will definitely be able to field their strongest 11 going forward. Wenger would be mental not to, top 4 is long gone for them. There's something so shallow, gutless about this side though. Best 11 or not, and there's no Aubameyang, Lacazette injured for awhile, they will struggle to beat a lot of very competent sides left in the tournament. Very hard to see them winning it out unless they get 2 or 3 rounds of powder puff draws which is highly unlikely. On Atletico, I agree they have a huge few weeks ahead. Most pundits don't seem to realise they are still fighting for the title there. They can't afford any slips though. Drop a few points in the upcoming fixtures and the league is more or less gone. No doubt if that happens they would go all out for the Europa then. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

I think it was the Basque police who were in the middle of it here: they are the unarmed variety, rather than the national Guardia Civil, who are the badass ones, who would use serious force and serious weaponry. It's the same in France and Italy: the Gendarmerie and Carabinieri are the ones you don't want to mess with, whereas the local cops are unarmed. -------------

German police said they apprehended the 31-year-old suspect upon his arrival from Moscow. The suspect was not named. Police said his victim suffered fractured bones and injuries to the brain and lungs. He faces up to 15 years in jail in France for attempted homicide and grievous bodily harm. German police only identified the victim as a 51-year-old England fan. But Andrew Bache, from Portsmouth, was 51 when he was attacked during the tournament two years ago. He suffered severe brain injuries and had to be placed in an induced coma, from which he has since emerged. German federal police said the Russian suspect was identified following a joint investigation with British police over the course of almost a year and a half. Police said the suspect had been the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by French authorities late last year. He was arrested during a flight change at Munich airport, while on his way to Bilbao in Spain for a Europa League game. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43156785" rel="nofollow - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43156785 |

Didn't look like that to be last night to be honest - just a really bad last half hour in the first leg. But it might concentrate the mind alright - have won 9 on the bounce in Serie A but long way to go. Hopefully still nip and tuck when they play Juve in April.

That said, Arsenal have won two, drawn one and lost three of their last six League games (7 points from 18), whereas Milan have won five and drawn the other of theirs (16 from 18) - Gattuso seems to have made a big impression since taking over in December.

Arsenal dispatching with AC Milan with ease. 2-0 up at half time. I reckon they've a decent chance of winning it outright, Atletico the only team they should be worrying about and to a lesser extent Lazio. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

As I said only a few weeks ago, their squad is threadbare at the moment and a few injuries will leave them in serious trouble. I've always found that Arsenal are at their best when there's no pressure on them, just take a look at the results tonight Dortmund, Bilbao and Lazio are all in trouble now.

I'm not sure I'd be so emphatic. Agree Atletico are ahead of Arsenal but I'm not sure light years is accurate. Atletico are in this competition due to not being able to beat Qarabag over two ganes after all. 9/5 on 365 even after all but booling there placw in the quarter's while 3 of their biggest rivals left with a lot of work to do. |

Good point. It's crazy to write them off in a knock-out competition and I don't think Atletico are 'light years' ahead of them. Atletico were very poor in their CL group. No team will want to draw Arsenal in the next round. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

Athletic really shouldn't be considered as real contenders this season, and this would apply even before tonights result. Ziganda isn't anywhere near as good a coach as Valverde, they've been very ordinary in the league this season. Not having Inigo Martinez available in the EL is a blow too

Marseille should have scored another two at least tonight. That tie should be dead and buried. Here’s hoping for a Red Bull v Red Bull final. Just to see PM’s reaction would make it worthwhile. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

There wouldn't be one. It is inevitable at this stage. My hysterical reaction happened years back, now I just hark back to the days when such a remark would seem flippant. Nowadays I just tend to avoid football! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Surprised by lads reactions on here to Atletico. They are light years ahead of Arsenal. I think if they meet them over 2 legs they would annihilate them. I was disappointed in Atleticos performance against Barca last week, because they have showed clearly what they are capable of in the past 2 months. Clear favs for this competition, and if they were in the CL knockouts, they would be in with a serious chance of winning that. That's the level Atletico are at. The likes of Marseille, Leipzig and 1 or 2 others pose a far greater threat to Atletico than Arsenal. Arsenal are hugely up against it in this competition, really not sure at all where lads are getting the idea that they're well capable of winning it from? They are a totally broken club, and more importantly a totally broken team. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....
