We should certainly not write Borussia Dortmund off yet. It makes little difference to this team whether they play at home or away because there is enough quality. The problem is that they have conceded four goals, which is a lot. If they win 0-2 then they are there but 1-3 is not enough for example. I assume Rangers will also score at home, which means that Dortmund must certainly score 4 times and a score of 0-3 I don't see that happening. We shouldn't overestimate the Rangers now either. The most tension will now be with Napoli against Barcelona, which can literally go either way.
ya.ya.yo!
In any case, all is not lost for Borussia Dortmund and the team is able to win back a handicap of two goals. After the cancellation of the goal advantage rule in an away match, it is enough for the club to play both 0-2 and 1-3 to transfer the match to extra time. Given the potential of Borussia Dortmund, this is quite possible, and there you already need to see how the situation develops. On the other hand, the game is still to be played at the Rangers home stadium, and this in itself makes it easier for the hosts to retain the advantage and at the same time complicates the task for Dortmund. As for the return match between Napoli and Barcelona, I would still give a slight advantage to Napoli, because the match will take place in Naples.

the game is over, it's a 4-2 win for the Rangers. I was pretty surprised by this result but the Rangers were more efficient and had the luck on their side today. They now have all the chances to go into the next round.
I am also very surprised to see this result. How can Dortmund conceded 4 goals in his home, it is a big advantage for Rangers. Now, having 4 goals away makes Rangers to have a big chance to be qualified to the next round. They only need to play draw or only conceded 1 goal in the next match. Moreover, they will play at home, it can make they to play more solid and have bigger motivation.


Dortmund is currently in a very bad phase in the competition, they have been through quite a bit recently. Today's results show that it was no coincidence. They are dependent on Haaland then maybe too dependent. The rest of the team is also not functioning well and you should normally beat the Rangers easily, especially at home and especially in this tournament. It would be a drama if they go out against The Rangers. But it's not that far yet. They still have to go in all directions. Individually they have a better team. So they still have time to put things right, but it is certainly not going to be easy if you have to score 3 goals. The Rangers deserve credit for this achievement.

Dortmund sometimes has them with great results flore.be then you have to think of Bayern Munich and also against Ajax. With all due respect to Glasgow Rangers that is not a top team and normally that should just easily win. Now certainly not lose and certainly not lose big. We will see what it will be in Scotland, Dortmund is not without a chance but will have to be with 2-0 very quickly otherwise it seems an impossible task. Glasgow Rangers surprised me positively with this fresh attacking game.

Barcelona tried everyting they could against Napoli but it was still not enough for a victory. The 1-1 result is going to be great for Napoli because they got what they wanted nicely. It was really difficult maybe but they made it. Barcelona will need to do much more than this to be able to advance to the next round. They must be thankful that the away goal rule has been removed. Otherwise, Napoli would have been much more advantageous now. Let's see what will happen in Italy.

If this is how things went down at camp Nou, I wonder what would happen when they play the return leg at Napoli's stadium?  Napoli gave Barcelona a run for their money. For a team that usually plays the toughest teams in the UCL, you'd expect them to make a lasting impact on Napoli and other rival teams in the Europa league tournament.

So sad to see Barcelona in this situation.

To be in this cup and not be able to beat Napoli while, until 3 years ago they had 3 goals of advantage on them every game...

Well Napoli has improved a lot over the years and to me this result was really expected. I think Barcelona is in serious trouble when going to italy in the rematch. I dont think it will be easy at all for them and i wouldnt be shocked if they get knocked out by Napoli.

A slightly disappointing result for Barcelona, ​​although it is not surprising that the game ended in a draw. Because as you said, Napoli have improved
in their performance this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, is in decline this season. Although it is difficult for Barcelona to win
in the second leg, but I still hope Barcelona can give a much better game in the second leg. Even though since the early minutes of the match
Barcelona had put pressure on Napoli, but it must be admitted that the Napoli defense was very solid. What is dangerous from Napoli is when they do
a counter-attack, one of which is a counter-attack in the 21st minute, Victor Osimhen almost scored if Marc-Andre ter Stegen didn't move quickly
to block Osimhen's shot. Barcelona have to learn to defend their defense better, because in the second leg Napoli must have been more daring
to attack and put pressure on it. Barcelona still has a chance to qualify for the next round, if they can improve the game even better.

It's disappointing result not to beat Napoli, especially when we had so many wasted moments to score. It will be tough for us in second leg, considering how Barca struggle in away games in Europe.
What happened to Borussia? I wasn't able to watch game, but they had no chance agianst Rangers, who aren't performing anything special.
Sheriff continue to big upsets, I don't even know what to say about it.
Zenit loss gainst Betis - it was visible that Zenit aren't in rhytm after winter break, while Betis looked solid.
Atalanta conceded first, but in second half they dominated an won game.
Leipzig - Real Sociedad. Leipzig were much more aggressive, but they didn't managed to win, despite that they had many dangerous moments.
Sevilla and Porto wins was somwewhat expected.

I'm feeling bad for Barcelona now. Because they are in a complex situation as they couldn't beat Napoli in Camp Nou. Actually, their performance wasn't bad as they took control of the game in the first half just as everyone expects from Barcelona to do that. But Napoli's scoring first made things more difficult for Barcelona. Thankfully, they didn't equalize the score very late. But still they didn't manage to find the winning goal. Napoli successfully secured a 1-1 draw and now they have a big advantage.
It was not the wanted score from barcelona  despite beig highly dominant both on the first and especially in the second half but in my opinion i think they still have a big chance of qualifiying as the rules changed a draw no matter the score will keep them in the competition they can beat napoli in italy.

Napoli have what they wanted because they have secured an Away goal at campnou, now that Napoli have draw, Barcelona have to tried everything possible to win their returning led in Italy, because Napoli already have home advantage and they wouldn't want to make any mistakes. But in football, anything can happen, therefore Barcelona can shock everyone by beating Napoli at home.

Dortmund, who conceded 4 goals in Germany, really shocked.  Congratulations to Rangers.  It is not an easy thing to win 4-2 in this match, as well as away.  Borussia Dortmund must score another goal in the final seconds.  They should go to the return match with a little more advantage.  If they go to the return game with this score, Rangers pass the round.

Meanwhile Barcelona "only" manages to achieve a 1-1 against Napoli. Just like Dortmund, they will face a very difficult re-match next week.
Next week will be tough for both Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.  However, he was defeated by the Sheriff at Benfica.  Next week's matches have already shown that they will be more exciting.  Rangers-Dortmund and Napoli-Barcelona matches are among the matches I have already added to my watch list.

That Barcelona did not win was perhaps not very surprising, also given the pre-qualifications at the bookmaker. Most striking is the humiliation of Borussia Dortmund at home against the Rangers, who really took a beating. Now Dortmund will have to win by 3 goals difference. They are too dependent on Haaland and the defense was bad today.

This match is more surprise especially Dortmund vs Rangers with 2-4 score, I lost the bet here.
Barcelona vs Napoli this match is indeed tough and Napoli is one of the strongest Italian team clubs at the moment so they can hold Barcelona, my prediction was a little off, it should have been a draw.
Atalanta are still 1 goal behind Olympiakos, and Sevilla are victorious in hand.

 I really enjoyed watching Seville vs Dinamo. I think it will be more fun in the second half because there will be more goals and more excitement!!
Barcelona will have to pay a heavy price as the second leg will be played in Napoli next Thursday. If they want to win, they should push forward to score goals and not defend until the end of game.

Barcelona again underperformed. Halfway through it was 0-1, at least they didn't lose, but it will soon become apparent in Naples how much this draw turns out to be worth. Napoli are now definitely favorites to continue, but there is still hope. After the 1-1 in the 60th minute I expected at least a goal.

We are not seeing the expected performance from the favorite teams today. Dortmund lost 4-2 today. It was a completely unexpected result. Atalanta are now 1 goal behind against Olympikaso. I thought Atlanta would dominate and win this match. Sevilla and Dinamo's match is now in a 1-1 draw. The match between Porto and Lazio is now in a 1-1 draw too.
Dortmund again made a fatal mistake in this match.
10 minutes 3 goals were created to be one of their worst mistakes, especially since they played at home with a large majority of supporters.
I'm focused on the Atalanta game now whether they will also lose to the visitors.
They now continue to dominate but as of 50 minutes into the game no goal has been scored

I dont know what is wrong with Dortmund they just got destroyed by Rangers. Dortmund played really bad in this match and Rangers was playing really good. I think everyone lost big on this match because Dortmund was an apsolute favorite in it. I think they need insane luck to pass into next round
