By this 2-2 draw, Atletico Madrid are also officially in the Europa League. They weren't very good here last season as well and barely managed to move on by the last group games. But this time they couldn't do the same and said goodbye to the Champions League even before the last games. Actually there has been an improvement in their effort in the La Liga lately but it isn't the same when it comes to this tournament I'm afraid.
Looking at how serious the match was, I believe that Bayern Leverkusen will qualify after securing the draw, because they, like Atletico Madrid, tried everything possible to secure a win, but both were unlucky as the match ended in a draw, and FC Porto were fortunate to secure a win against group B leaders Club Brugge as they finally secured their spot on the UEFA Champions League round of 16 which was not as expected at the start of the Champions League.
It looks like these two clubs did want to keep their hopes of qualifying at first but with this draw it's clear their chances are closed now but can still compete for the 3rd place for the Europa League.
In this match Xabi's team actually played quite well even though they played away but their defense was very tight in this match and the goal that Atletico scored was outside the penalty box because of the difficulty of penetrating into the penalty box due to the tight defense from Leverkuesen.
There is no time for Barcelona in the Champions League, the glory they had before now they have run out since Lionel Messi left Barcelona, this is the second thing for this team to be thrown into the Europa League, at least Barcelona must improve in the current management, Xavi it is no longer suitable to handle Bacelona at least Barcelona can find a coach who is experienced enough in his field, so that there is an improvement from the previous matches...
Management that is not too good actually has been felt from the previous few seasons but it is getting better in my opinion. Barcelona's problem is quite complicated right now so we can't really blame just one party because of course something like this has become a common mistake.
It is also difficult for them to change management now because of course this is still related to financial conditions.
