yesterday's games were few that surprised me, but this one particularly surprised me the most:
Dinamo 1 - 0 Sevilla
I expected that Sevilla would win this game but they lost and worse, they didn't even manage to score 1 goal, asote of them and they passed to another phase
Ranger 2 - 2 Borussia
this borusia is bad, he can't stay without conceding goals that's why he lost in the first game and then comes to draw in the second game, they conceded a total of 6 goals, that's too much
Napoli 2 - 4 Barcelona
this was a game in which napoli was humiliated and i even said that napoli is not doing well, they are losing points in serie A while barcelona improved a lot this result was predictable

I wasn't expecting a 2-4 in Napolis, with Barcelona scoring 4 goals and naturally moving on.
Atlanta have given 5-0 to Olympiacos.
And Sevilla lost, despite moving on, with Dinamo Zagreb.
I am also very surprised to see Barcelona won Napoli, j predicted Barcelona to win in the first match because I always doubt Italian leagues as they are not that good outside Seria A, but I was shocked to see Napoli match drawn, thinking Napoli will win at home but Barcelona surprised us. Barcelona is getting back and getting stronger.Atlanta have given 5-0 to Olympiacos.
And Sevilla lost, despite moving on, with Dinamo Zagreb.
What surprised me most was Rangers that won Borussia Dortmund in the first match, some people predicted Borussia Dortmund may win the second match between them both but Rangers managed to draw the second match. Sevilla is not a small team if compared to Dinamo Zagreb, I was still expecting Sevilla to win.
Rangers defended very well, when Borussia Dortmund in the 1st leg it was very difficult to penetrate the Rangers defense and in the 2nd leg Rangers did the same, they relied on the counter-attack to score 2 goals, I think the absence of Erling Haaland is very influential on Dortmund's attacking power, it is a pity they couldn't go further in the Europa League championship this season.

Barcelona might emerge winner's successfully at the end of this competition.
They had a good dominance last night, I see Xavi's team understanding themselves, great chances created by the team.
Aubameyang hasn't been a bad player you see here, he scores once more having a total of three goals for Barcelona.
That’s an impressive job by Barca. Honestly, I didn’t think they had that in them. With the presence of Aubameyang in attack, Barcelona had a focal point through the middle and were able to counter-attack at speed. The game ended before it even started, Napoli didn't get going at all tonight. Fair play to Barcelona, they looked like scoring in every offensive move. The performance gives Xavi something to work on moving forward, especially with the performance of Aubameyang and De Jong. Xavi is absolute doing his best and the players have got their confidences back so trust the process and now we can now see positive signs appearing. The team is getting better and better. They had a good dominance last night, I see Xavi's team understanding themselves, great chances created by the team.

Barcelona is going better day by day. I feel like they see this tournament very important and go for the win. Not all big teams do that. Sometimes they don't care about Europa League after got eliminated from Champions League. But Barcelona took it serious. Especially after their position in La Liga, this is a pretty good opportunity to finish the season with a cup. They can go until the end. Napoli was one of the best teams in the tournament but Barca gave them no chance.
Im impressed with how Barcelona played today,i was thinking that Napoli could have won this match easily but Barcelona destroyed them in Italy. Like you said they are better and better,this winter transfer window was a blast for them. Their attack is so good now that they can win the europe leagueMore important than Barcelona winning and qualifying for the next round is the unprecedented improvement in Barcelona's gameplay. Looks like I can see the old Barcelona team. The players may not be as experienced as Messi, Xavi or Iniesta, but there is a wonderful bond between the players now. And all this has happened for Xavi. If such performances continue, it will be impossible for Barcelona to hold on.

6. Rangers2 - 2 (6 : 4) Borussia Dortmund
left behind in leg1, Dortmund has to fight hard to make 2 different goals, even though they got ahead in 1st half. but, the ranger trying to change strategy with more impressive that make them end tonight. Without Haaland, Dortmund's strategy in 1st half is enough offensive, but still, they look lost to control on front, Ranger still better shott on goal although Dortmund has better for ball posession.I think Sevilla and Barcelona are now headed to win the trophy. The quality of the games will increase now for the final rounds and I hope we can see some good games
The Dortmund team has disappointed us. However, after watching the first leg performance against Rangers, I did not have the courage to bet on Dortmund's victory. However, if Haaland was in the squad, the result of the match would have been in favor of Dortmund. It is hard to stick with Haaland. It is now clear that Dortmund are not a strong enough team and that they don't deserve to win the title. They have been eliminated from the Europa League. They will not be able to win the Bundesliga title either.

My guess for the Europa League final is now that one team will be Barcelona, and the other is uncertain. Barcelona smashed Napoli in Italy. I did not expect this result. Of course, Barcelona had a chance to win, but I did not think that they would achieve such a clear score in Italy. By winning 4-2, they have already intimidated the team that will face them for the next round matchup.

Without Haaland, Dortmund's strategy in 1st half is enough offensive, but still, they look lost to control on front, Ranger still better shott on goal although Dortmund has better for ball posession.Now I can come out openly about my appreciation for Barcelona, not an easy win against very stubborn Napoli, many people including me wrote Barcelona off in this match but I think they actually did prove is wrong is good to see the team smiling again Arsenal former skipper must have brought his good luck and free spirited gifts to the Nou camp. A very big congratulations to Barcelona if the can keep their heads down I am very sure they would be Europa league champions.
After getting a promising victory over Napoli last night, Barca were confident again, Abumayeng's presence became a breath of fresh air for the Blaugrana, as evidenced by the arrival of Abumayeng the Blaugrana returned to playing consistently, and has begun to be feared again by European clubs, Adama Toure also deserves appreciation, even though he is not listed his name on the scoreboard but adama Toure still had a big hand in Barca's victory last night, a player who wants to work hard, and wants to pick up the ball, Xavi made an extraordinary purchase this year. 
First goal from Rangers makes Dortmund mission harder although they were being aggresive since first half but seems Rangers can predict the strategy from Dortmund and eventually they were failed and for other match congratulations for Barcelona because they has fulfill the expectations of fans with beat Napoli however Spanish teams seems dominated european league this season because Sevilla, Barcelona and Betis already qualified to the next round
as already said before. Barcelona have found their game, under the tutelage of xavi Barcelona have slowly found their style of play with the support of their new players. With the results obtained last night against Napoli as I predicted, after seeing the Leg 1 game, Barcelona will win the second leg match. I began to believe that Barcelona had got their game after beating Atletico Madrid, And with this result it became even more certain that Barcelona would win the Europa League.

Impressive performance from Barcelona players.
Once again, Barcelona reassures its fans that it has overcome difficult times and its becoming better match after match , i really liked team work that xavi made.
4-2 for Barcelona with amazing goals by de jong and Aubameyang.

Big match with big score I was surprised to see Barcelona win big despite playing away what's more exciting is scoring goals from different players
Looks like cohesiveness is starting to grow in the Barcelona team and if it continues like this Barcelona have a bigger chance in this tournament
Aubameyang seems like a successful buy scored 4 goals in 2 matches.

Barcelona team has been refilled by some new signings which make their performance good and accurate, Aubameyang and Adama Traore are really playing very impressive in the team, so this alone can make the team stronger than before.I also have hope that they till be the Europa League Champions of this year, because they are ready to win.

Yes, they're. They are really playing better and better so far. It is not easy to take back the result from the fans or whoever loves how this club play. I see how many more people and may e most of us always underestimate this club because they always played unsatisfyingly in the past, and now, they can prove one by one to be back again with better games. Btw, P. Aubameyang also always gives very good contributions in these few matches, even giving some more goals.
Btw Braga vs Sheriff is now doing penalties.
Braga seems to have a bigger chance to win.
Braga managed to qualify for the next round after undergoing a fairly long match against the sheriff, both teams played quite well today, braga managed to score 2 goals to the sheriff goal and make the aggregate goal to 2-2 until the match was finished until of added time , 2-2 on aggregate made them have to continue the match with a penalty kick, to be honest I was very impressed with the calmness of the Braga goalkeeper who was able to ward off two shots from the sheriff players, I think the Braga goalkeeper (Matheus) deserves to be the man of the match today's match .
Braga had made it even more exciting. Sherif's fairy tale has come to an end. In the group stage they were also in good shape in the Champions League with 2 victories. Going out against Braga is no shame, but it will undoubtedly leave a sour aftertaste as they won 2-0 at home. Shooting penalties is always a lottery, but Braga has more quality with individual players. Now let's see what the draw will bring us, I'm very curious!
ya.ya.yo!
