An interesting match it is today in the event that involved two rival from different club side feyenoord and shakhtar Donetsk, very devastating match for the visiting seeing the home side defeating them 7:1 in the encounter that ought to have elevated them to the next stage of this campaign but their hope was dashed because their poor performance so kudos to the Netherlands team a good performance it is here.
Arsenal - Sporting CP match has come to an end in the first half. Arsenal have a score as the first half ends. Playing the ball was almost even, no team had more possession. Storting CP only had two attempts to shoot, and those were not important positions. Arsenal are getting what they want, for now, a single goal relieved them too much. If we count their superiority in the first match, the second half will be more comfortable, but of course, it is necessary to take precautions.
Fenerbahce have a really tough job to do today. They are going to play the rematch after losing 2-0 to Sevilla in Spain.
Actually Fenerbahce could have even won that match but it was a really unfortunate match for them. They wasted so many opportunities and Sevilla got really lucky as well. In the rematch I expect Sevilla to play defensively and just to try to secure their score advantage. Fenerbahce need to take advantage of their chances in the best manner this time. They can still make a comeback it isn't too difficult. Sevilla aren't having a good season in the end. They don't have a good defending style either.
Fenerbahce will now try to win against an opponent they could have easily beaten, playing under pressure. Yes Fenerbahce could have won the away game but they couldn't do it. If you can't take advantage of the positions you find, you are doomed to lose. Sevilla also had their chances and they managed to score 2 goals by making good use of the positions they found. I wonder what Jorge Jesus will do to open up the sevilla defense which will be closed. Even a draw is enough for Sevilla. They are having problems in defense but Sevilla has the quality and strength to overcome this defense.Actually Fenerbahce could have even won that match but it was a really unfortunate match for them.

I think so far all games went the way most of us would have expected them except for the Feyenoord game as that is always an unexpected total result, but the fact that Feyenoord made it to the next round is no surprise to me.
For Freiburg things turned out to be quite unlucky for them. A red card plus a penalty goal against you is as worse as it can get right before the half time whistle...
Manchester United just did their job and now the two interesting games are Saint-Gilloise vs. Union Berlin and Fenerbahce vs. Sevilla. That is going to be a hot second half time for Sevilla. Fenerbahce will try everything they can and so will Union Berlin.
The Portuguese side fought hard for a 2-2 draw in Lisbon last week as they look to win a first European title in almost 60 years.
While battling for the Premier League title, this competition may be seen as something of a distraction by some Arsenal fans but Mikel Arteta will be strongly enticed by the possibility of a League-and-Europe double. Arsenal tends to win this match because is already 1:0 for arsenal and if they continue like this the will win this game.
Well I don't feel the Europa league is going to be any distraction to arsenal as they are not the only ones eyeing the EPL trophy and like them every other team in the title race are currently playing in Europe e.g Manchester city and Manchester united. If arsenal can even manage to add the Europa league title it will be bonus for them for the season. I think they have all it takes to manage themselves and secure both the English premier league and the Europa league.

Bayern Leverkusen has been in their peak lately both in their Europa outings, they defeated Ferencvaros in their first leg 2:0 which keeps them ahead in this game and their early goal in this mach is also an advantage for the German side, Bayerleverkusen has a better chance to qualify more than their opponent as it stands.
It's a sad result for Fenerbahce, when you can't take advantage of such positions in a game in which you play alone, you are unfortunately eliminated. Sevilla did everything to cool down the game from the beginning to the end and they succeeded.The fans behind the goal reacted to the goalkeeper's actions by throwing things at the beginning of the second half and the game was stopped there for about 10 minutes.This actually worked in Seville's favor.Fenerbahçe's tempo started to drop from this minute on.Fenerbahçe played well and played with a good tempo from the beginning to the end of the match and won, but this result is not enough for the round of course.The missed positions of King, Arda, Zajc and Valencia also contributed to the fact that Fenerbahçe could not skip the round.
Fenerbahce just wasnt able to pull through against Sevilla that is really weak this season. Sevillas results were just terrible but in their history of the club they always play good in europe league and i wouldnt be surprised if they end up somehow winning the title again
Bookmakers in the second leg identified Arsenal as the undisputed favorite, and this is understandable in home matches, Arsenal is a very serious opponent. Now they are winning, but it seems to me that Arsenal are not so good, already in the first half Arteta made two forced substitutions due to injuries, I hope that they will not be very serious.
Bookmakers know that Arsenal has everything to win the match. They are stronger and they are playing at home, no doubt Arsenal to win the ticket to qualify for the next round. Now, Arsenal has scored 1 goal, they are leading the aggregate. So, it is enough for Arsenal to qualify for the next round. Personally, I don't see a chance for Sporting to score a goal, they look difficult to improve their game. Arsenal really dominates the match, they become more aggressive because Jesus has come back from his long injured. You have no reason to claim "Arsenal plays not good", they look to play very well during the 1st half.
Huge blow for Shaktar Donetsk in the Europa League. Those players won't have it easy in these times either. Manchester United was actually through after the 4-1 win at home, but showed to be in good shape and easily won 0-2 away at real Betis. We get Friday?! the draw of the quarterfinals, I'm looking forward to it. In theory, major competitions could already arise. Juventus - Manchester United would be a very nice game but both teams would not be happy with that because it is a tough draw.
Arsenal first half game has been excellent as the Premiership league first position bearers has been performing well since their opening goal in this game but the away seem not to be giving that opportunity for them to take shot and their ball possession have been splendid so far sporting cp have 5 shots on goal against Arsenal 0 shots, Arsenal has to step up their game in other to be victorious in this match.

Arsenal have won one goal, it has changed the aggregate to 3-2. I know it's a tough game because it looks like Sporting won't let Arsenal beat them without a good game. Arsenal could have won the first half, but in the second half I think Arsenal will concede a goal if Sporting's performance improves. Several opportunities have been created so far, Sporting even dominated possession compared to Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Feyenoord, Juventus, Manchester United and Sevilla have confirmed themselves through to the next round. Now looking forward to Arsenal, Roma, Leverkusen and Union Berlin to complete it in the quarter-finals.

Juventus are Putting lots of work in the Europa league best it is currently their biggest shot at earning a champions league place next season. The point deduction has actually waked they up and I think they will go far in the competition. They only need to keep their players fit for the reminder of the season most especially Dimaria, i hope he doesn’t comes back from international duty with an injury. Hopefully they could also welcome back Pogba back then to bolster their squad
For me Juventus is one of the big favorites to win the Champions League this year. Regarding the match today against SC Freiburg i have to say that over the course of both matches Juventus definitely was the better and more dominate team and therefore they deserve it to advance into the next round of the tournament. That being sad, the way the game was going today was very very unlucky for SC Freiburg. I mean that penalty for Juventus shortly before the half time break was very hard for me. The distance between the ball and the arm of the Freiburg player when the ball was shot was less than half a meter and still Juve got the penalty and the Freiburg player even was sent off the pitch because it was his second yellow card. After that i was basically over for Freiburg.
Because of the very clear difference in quality, Real Betis really have to admit Manchester United's strength in the 2 legs of the Europa League this season. Manchester United managed to qualify with a good aggregate score, this was a match that made the team's motivation even better following the embarrassing defeat to Liverpool.
Right now I'm curious about Arsenal even though they are playing at home. To qualify Arsenal must win at least 1-0, but of course Sporting is an opponent who can surprise today. 20 minutes without a goal, this is definitely not a good thing for the first half.
Xhaka scored in the 19th minute, I don't think you saw this game. temporary aggregate 3-2 for arsenal advantage and this is still the first half I think arsenal will score again in this match. no one doubts arsenal, they is quite strong this season i even more believe arsenal will be a candidate to get the europa league trophy.Right now I'm curious about Arsenal even though they are playing at home.

Juventus closed the game with a 2-0 win over Freiburg. Juventus qualified for the next round with a 3-0 aggregate. juventus, manchester united and arsenal are teams that are highly favored in the europa league i think this is a competition that is no less exciting in every match to come
Should Rashford be in the consideration for the best player in the world? He has been in hot form since the return from World Cup break and he is now the third highest goal scorer this season.
Manchester United was saved again by Rashford this evening as his only goal was enough for the victory. I believe if he continues playing like this and Manchester United wins trophies then he has a good chance at some personal awards.

It is already too late for that to happen because his pre World Cup performance wasn’t that stellar and also he didn’t have a stunning World Cup either and this season individual awards will be sweep by those World Cup high performance. The FIFA award shows that already, maybe next season with this form and possibly trophies he could be there. Although he has having a great season there’s a great side of his game that he needs to improve. He wastes far too many chances and he some games many won’t arrive. Today he scored one but could have easily had an hat trick. Also his selfishness upfront deprives his striker more of the ball and needs to reduce that feed his strikers more if not any striker united signs in the summer might have goal scoring problems.
Juventus mustered 20 attempts in the first leg last week against their opponents but today they were able to record 15 which in turn result to 2:0 against freiburg and when you consider that Freiburg have conceded goals in each of their last five home assignments, it was expected of Juve to register again in this second leg and it materialized However, the Breisgau-Brasilianer have rattled the net in an impressive 100% of their 16 fixtures at home this term, and they had the firepower to maintain that perfect strike rate here.

The Real Betis vs Manchester United match has entered the 74th minute now and Manchester United have only scored one goal with an aggregate of 1 - 5 so that the advantage for Manchester United has increased even though the ball possession is almost equal for these two teams, but Real Betis seems unable to do anything many in this second leg match even though Real Betis are the hosts in this second leg.
Because of the very clear difference in quality, Real Betis really have to admit Manchester United's strength in the 2 legs of the Europa League this season. Manchester United managed to qualify with a good aggregate score, this was a match that made the team's motivation even better following the embarrassing defeat to Liverpool.Right now I'm curious about Arsenal even though they are playing at home.

Even if Betis are playing in home, the man united in seeing tonight is not what I expected. Manchester United in the last match against Betis were more in control of the game than this. I'm beginning to sense that Ten Hag's Strategy today is to guide against conceding goals and it's really affecting the boy's game play. They find it difficult to dwell with ball and play at their free will, Al I see is fear and overly emotions.
Real betis seemed to be more confident than MU in the first 20 minutes which is not supposed to be so.

Ten Hag's strategy actually worked. They did not concede and they scored a goal. That's the problem with being a tactical coach, if you use a strategy and it works then everybody will praise you as a genius but if the strategy fails then you're a clueless coach that doesn't know what you're doing.
I expected a game like this from United. They won the first leg 4-1, with good defending they can't concede 3 goals. Besides the game is going to be relatively more difficult than the first leg because now Betis are at home where they are more comfortable so you don't expect them to make it easy for United.
It was a good game from Manchester United in both legs, they're in the last 8 now which is very impressive.
Sporting cp vs Arsenal match has been very interesting, sporting has been having good time with arsenal in the past few minutes of the game and the have possessed more ball more than their rivals and with the look of things the seem not to be giving up soon, despite that arsenal form is intact we should not forget that this visiting side is also good they are ready to do anything in other to stop arsenal today so anything is possible in this match.
To tell the truth I don't believe Sevilla deserved next round here. They didn't do anything special in either in the first leg or this leg. They just tried to keep their advantage by doing everything they can to slow down the match. This is one of the cheapest tricks in football but there is nothing to do about it. I was really angry at the attitude of Fenerbahce supporters in a part of the match as well. Because they threw something at Sevilla goalkeeper and caused the tempo of the match to decrease a lot.
Fenerbahce could have scored that second goal in this match but they weren't able to benefit from so many chances. Like I said I don't think Sevilla really deserved it.
