I don't agree with you guys about the FC Sheriff Tiraspol winning against Real Madrid to be luck because everything done through some effort that produces a good result is not a piece of luck but determination. Besides, in the match stats show that they make 70% accurate passes, 4 shots, and 3 on target which means they use well every chance they had.
Meanwhile, this is a result of their preparation for the Champion League after defeat in their first Champion league appearance in the year 2010–11.
Here I agree with you just giving all to luck is never been good idea because just with luck you can't win matches against teams like Real Madrid you need some good effort as well. In first match against Shakhtar they were okay as they have 100% record at home so mostly feel it's just good game, and they won but in second game they have conversation rate 100% which help them to win as Read Madrid have 18 shots on goal and just one goal and Sheriff Tiraspol done just 2 shots both works for them here we have no science who can explain about this all just some effort and luck both works.
Yes, you are right. But they also played well with the addition of a little bit of luck I'd say. As they got so much less chance than Real Madrid as they had much less possession but they were able to convert those small amounts of chances which created the difference in the game. As you said that Real took 18 shots and if I'm not wrong they also had about 40 crosses but were not able to convert any. Their only goal came from a penalty. So I'd have to appreciate how well Sheriff played.
Glad you guys understand my point because a football game is not a gambling dice game that is based on luck and for a low-level club like FC Sheriff Tiraspol to win against it takes a lot of hard work and better understanding that they have to make every chances count which is what they used against Real Madrid.
The Europa League can be one of the really interesting tournaments among the international ones. Because every game is open for any kind of surprise all the time. For example, who would have said that Legia would get a win against Leicester? But they did this. So this tournament is like an opportunity for smaller clubs to achieve the best they can. This is fun and boring at the same time. Because I don't see the same competition level as the one in the Champions League.
Usually the teams that play in the European leagues have a balanced strength, so this provides equal opportunities for all teams to be able to win the championship trophy, besides that in my opinion the European League is no less prestigious than the Champions League, although so far the European League competition is often considered the European continent second caste cup.
In addition, for the team that wins the European Cup, of course, they will have the opportunity to win the inter-club world cup later and what is certain is that the European League champion will certainly be an automatically get tickets to play in the Champions League next season.
If you pay attention to UCL too, you will get a more terrible surprise there. Who thought Sheriff Tiraspol would win against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu? I'm sure everyone will choose Madrid to bet whether it's ML, HT/FT, AH bets and many more. Well, I personally still think these two teams might be lucky enough to take advantage of the situation well, because next Legia will play away against Napoli and as we know, Napoli this season are looking very good in Serie A but not so good in this tournament. But with the previous results, of course these two teams will take advantage of each other's weaknesses in every line but I personally believe, both Legia in EL and Sheriff Tiraspol in UCL will end here and in the second leg later, if they can still be consistent then of course that no longer luck.
Yes, I also think that the sheriff victory in the champions league is just luck and I personally am not sure if they will be able to qualify for the next phase, but it looks like the european league will be an alternative for the sheriff to show the quality of their game later, while Napoli, with a schedule which is dense as it is now, I think their main focus is just to win the scudetto and of course with the current Napoli squad they have to be able to choose between the european league or the scudetto.

Real is undoubtedly a better and more experienced team than Sheriff but they played a bad game and completely deservedly lost.
It is obvious that Real is still not playing at the top level and has certain problems in the game which does not diminish the size of the Sheriff's victory.
Sheriff has been playing in European competitions for a long time, as far as I remember they also played in European League groups and their success is not accidental but is the result of long and hard work and investment.
This is a signpost for other, small clubs, how to achieve a good result in European competitions.
I agree with you but there's a difference between a football club playing games at the top level and using the chances they get to score goals. An example is Barca during the set of Puyol, Iniesta, Alves, Xavi, Messi etc when they played against Man United in the Champion League final. I don't remember the year.
Barca played a top class football but has a problem in scoring goals.
Concern the Sheriff club, I totally agree with you.
