Now we have Arsenal, Ajax, Milan, Roma and ManU as favorites.
I'll put Spurs in there as well.

Aubameyang is just a good finisher he doesn't mark really hard, as compared to Lacazette.
That's not always the case [he's been quite inconsistent this season]. If he took his chances in the first leg, then it didn't have to come to the very last few minutes of the game to come out as winners.

Hopefully they will win the Europa league because it seems that's the only chance they have to be able to play in next season champions league
Based on other teams that are still in the competition and also due to the fact that up to this point, Arteta has no clue who's the best eleven, I highly doubt they'll win it this season.

Milan looked really disappointing today, they played against Crvena Zvezda like same level team.
Probably biggest upset tonight is Molde win against Hoffenheim @10 and they move to next round.
Napoli won against Granada, but it wasn't enough to reach next round. Knowing Napoli owner, I wouldn't be surprised if he will sack Gattuso.
Young Boys won against Bayer Neverkusen again and they go to next round. It's big surprise. Can't say anything about game, I didn't watched it.
And I wouldn't call Leicester loss against Slavia as big surprise. I follow Slavia for few seasons already and it's really good team which play quality football. You shouldn't write them off.

I did watch Milan Red Star match and must admit if Red Star didn't get red card 90% that they would won the match. They play with 10 players last 30 minutes and they prove to be worthy opponent to Milan. Really bad for Milan they play horrible didn't won last two matches in Serie A and they play another derby away with Roma.

Today was full of surprises. Luckily Arsenal qualified to last 16 round, thanks to Aubameyang's late goal.
Arsenal was so lucky to have qualified, without Bukayo Saka o don't think Arsenal would have been where they are today in this season, dude has been producing lots of assist, Aubameyang is just a good finisher he doesn't mark really hard, as compared to Lacazette. Hopefully they will win the Europa league because it seems that's the only chance they have to be able to play in next season champions league

Leicester failure was a surprise too..

Didn't watch the game. Did they play with their best players or second-line players?
Maybe they are focusing only on the Premier League, saving energies and pointing with 100% of themself for the top 4 to be able of playing the Champions' League next year.

Leicester has a few injury concerns with James Maddison(who's been world class this season), Wes Morgan, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ayoze Perez all out due to injuries. The squad seems very think without them and which has lead to their early exit from the Europa league. They did put out the best possible squad on the field which should have been able to do the job at home. They did have 60% possession, 12 shots and 3 on target but just wasn't their day.

Leicester are indeed having problems with injuries at the moment, due to their busy schedule and lack of good squad depth. Making Leicester
players vulnerable to injury, not playing James Maddison, who is a creativity player from Leicester, makes it difficult for Leicester players
to score goals. Jamie Vardy lacked the supply of the ball, with Maddison unable to play, so it is only natural that Leicester should leave
the Europa League early. But this is a good thing for Leicester, so they can concentrate 100% in the Premier League to get into the top 4
so they can play in the Champions League next season.

Their best possible squad available

It seems that this is not the case and why would Leicester doesnt want to win the europa league when you had close to no chance to win the EPL anymore?. Fun fact about Slavia Prague, this team hasnt lose a single match yet in Czech First League ( 20 matches so far ). This is an incredible feat even if it comes from Czech First League

I don't dispute the fact that Slavia Prague is a decent team. As a matter of fact, Slavia is one of the very few Czech republic teams I put my money on every other weekend but when they are pitted against a team in a top flight league like Leicester? I didn't expect them to stand a chance. Considering Leicester played at home, Slavia winning looked like a long shot. As for Napoli, Gattuso should be out soon. Too many disappointing displays from his team. I think Europa league was the only competition they were still participating in aside from domestic league and now they are out altogether.

Now we have Arsenal, Ajax, Milan, Roma and ManU as favorites. They are lucky this year there is no Atletico or Sevilla in Europa League. Grin

Milan-FK Crvena zvezda is still continuing 1-1 and Milan will still be able to qualify for the next round like this. FK Crvena zvezda have just got a red card and it is all over for them now I think. Milan can score at least one more goal and seal the deal.
Well they went out with a second squad and bearly qualified for the next round. Milan still in terrible form,not expected from them at all. Zvezda holded well even with a red card

but Leicester city need to win.
Liecester city is already out of UEFA Europa League loosing out 2 nil at the moment at home ground, although slavia pragua is kinda a good team that had played champions league competition many times, but I'm still surprise to see Liecester giving them a chance to qualify for next round, besides, English side is more better and stronger than Czech republic side when it comes to international competition, but might have really happened to Liecester tonight.

I'm not sure. Milan doesn't look like they will score again and might just see out the rest of the game the way it is because if the game ends like this, they would be the winners of the clash. Crvena zvezda  did good in this season's UEL. I didn't expect them to make it this far or even give a top flight team like Milan a run for their money. Crvena zvezda lost their shot to win today due to the red card. Quite unfortunate.

Will Gattuso be sacked? Probably yes if they can have a new coach cheap.
The most awaited question so far since the only thing left for Napoli to achieve is a spot for CL (won't happen) or EL (maybe). So yeah I expect him to be sacked as soon as they found a new one.
Leicester failure was a surprise too. Milan game almost finished and they are 1-1.

Schaktar 1-0 Maccabi
Shakhtar easily wins the second match as well. The result was obvious. All the same, Shakhtar is a stronger club than Maccabi. But in this match I expected a little more goals than it was.

Surprising to see Man United vs Real Sociadad being goalless 60 mins into the game while the first leg away from United went 4-0. Now Ole is slowly substituting the regulars for young guns to give the regs some rest while gibving the younger players some much needed match time. Leicester are in big trouble against Slavia Prague being a goal down at home while the first leg was a goalless draw. A crucial away goal for Prague which could see them progressing into the next round.

*go go Leicester & go go Man Utd, support the English team again 'lol'...
bet with confidence, hope the outcome will be as expected. *btw, in another match, Milan led the score, lucky Milan got a penalty. this time the score draws.
Good work from Arsenal tonight, Benfica gave them goosebumps and didn't give in, but Arsenal came out winners after two legs I don't think Arsenal can win the Europa league but the would still like to be in it, after first half and no goal from Manchester United match nor Leicester match, United are safe, but Leicester city need to win.

And Arsenal managed to eliminate Benfica by beating them 3-2 in the second leg. It was really an awesome match. Aubameyang scored 2 valuable goals for his team and played great. Arsenal got ahead 1-0 but Benfica brought the score to 1-2 after that. But Arsenal had a very nice performance that they managed to turn the game around and win. Aubameyang's one goal was cancelled by VAR also. Maybe he could have made a hat-trick.
