I'm sure the manager has thought about it beforehand he knows what to do Just look at the line-up of players there's no Jamie Vardy there
In the next match Leicester City only need one point we know it's not difficult for them to get it.

Leicester City and Sporting Braga both have 10 points and last match play home with teams that lost any chances to take the 2nd place. so if Sporting Braga wins Leicester City also has to win and secure the 1st palce.

Yes I know that I am just assuming the worst that could happen. Previously Leicester City had beaten AEK at home
next play at the King Power Stadium of course it was an easy win. I don't know how AEK gets points , maybe if Leicester played with 9 players Cheesy

Be careful not to underestimate the weak team, usually they play without burden. Don't forget in football anything can happen.
Even though it is unlikely that AEK Athens can get a point against Leicester in the last match, it is better if Leicester will bring
down the main team. Learned from previous defeat against Zorya, but like you said Leicester should easily win playing home.

Rijeka got the toughest possible group this season and they were really very good, above expectations.
In another group they would probably pass.
I was also surprised by the very good result of Dinamo this season.
After the departure of coach Bjelica and the best player Olmo, and all the problems and scandals with the Mamic brothers, I did not expect them to be so good.
However, due to the poor results of other Croatian clubs, Croatia will not have representatives in this competition next season, except maybe Dinamo.

Yeah, Rijeka really did fight bravely and they can still take some more points, which I hope they do as a revenge for 4-1 defeat. Dinamo is something weird this season, they really don't look that good to me, yet somehow they are wining and not conceding a single goal is almost like a mistery lol

As long as they manage to continue like that I won't mind honestly. Don't like Mamic, but I like Dinamo more, something along those lines.

Still nice that they manage to win a point at least, Rijeka had so man matches that were very close. I still can't believe Dinamo Zagreb didn't concede a single goal yet this season in Europa league and managed to qualify for the next stage. Only team that has not conceded in EU competitions, still beyond me, but happy for it.

bad luck in Uefa League since ever

Zidane's position as coach of Real Madrid will suffer a very bad fate because the president of El Real has decided that if Madrid fail to win in the last match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Madrid must be able to win if they want to advance to the next round. Of course this is a very heavy burden for Zidane in a game of life and death, if Madrid lose or draw the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 will be closed and become history for Madrid who failed to qualify from the gup phase.

Well look at leicester city , they are lost to zorya 1-0 through the late goal.
They are failed to locking the 1st position of the group and must be decided in the 6th match even though they are qualified already for the next knockout phase, it wasnt good enough.

maybe Leicester City is sure in winning the last match vs AEK Athens (that gives them the 1st place in the group) so they didn't worry about the result in Ukraine. the last match for AEK Athens means nothing because they lost chances to qualify for the next stage.

The European League is not the main reference for big teams, they don't even look serious about winning three points, this can be seen when I bet last night that almost all the big teams from Tottenham, Napoli to Leicester City failed to get the full three points. Even though Napoli obtained good results last week when they beat AS Roma with a score of 4-0 but failed to win last night and resulted in me losing the bet choosing Napoli. In the future, we prefer only small teams as winners because some of the core players are always reserved to give opportunities to the reserve players.

It is something usual for the English teams as the do not have a lot of income from Europa league compared to the one that they can get from a good season in Premier league thus they do not try hard in the European games.
However, we cannot say the same for Italian teams and especially for Napoli. They played badly yesterday and this was the clear reason about not getting those three points. Good for them they are still on No.1 position on the group.

Some people celebrate Milan's victory today on the other side other teams observe Milan's defense. scoring lots of goals is proof that they have a great striker
Conceding a lot of goals also certainly cannot be ignored scored 11 conceded 7 goals, this is not a good result as a champion candidate.
In the next phase they will fight against stronger teams meaning Milan have to do something in defense.

It is true that AC Milan have deficiencies in the defensive sector where they look weak in keeping clean sheet in every match. However, since their attacker was quite fierce then everything might still look fine. But I'm sure the coach will think about it. Never losing is a good record for AC Milan this season, they are the best candidates in my opinion. But I want them to be involved in the big game in the Europa League as a test that deserves to be reckoned with as potential champion.

Arsenal qualified for the next round with perfect results (never lost). win 4-2 from Celtic proves that without Ibra, AC Milan is still a good team..

I just looked the team up and can see many memes on google I totally understand you guys excitement,,, a lot of us hope for some small achievements from small countries to make it on the big stage we have sort of similar excitements in Asian Champions League but of course we do not have the same prestige. Happy for you:)

Seems like every time Vardy can't find space to score, his whole team comes down with him. They also probably don't really care about 1st/2nd place, I know the seeds for the next stage matter, but you could end up being 1st seed AND still face Leicester, so sometimes it doesn't work out so well:)

Arsenal winning must be because of fans coming back;)

Arsenal has one of the most faithful fans in the world, they are so used to managing then switching teams and that is true fanship if there is anything as such. But, Arsenal really needs to be giving the fans some sense of pride like competing and winning the prestigious UCL and not just FA Cup.

Vardy is Leicester, without Vardy there is no Leicester or so it seems. I'm amazed at him, despite his aging career, he still manages to keep up as a good striker but at times, I feel is way too much pressure on him.

What was the odds for zorya to win by the way?
If i remember correctly it is around 6 to 7!
And tottenham drawing to LASK wasnt surprise me at all , i expected it.
Only arsenal win , which it is a little bit surprised wth final score 4-1.

Leicester had a shock loss in the last weekend in the league too, so probably they are running into a moment of poor form. Seems like every time Vardy can't find space to score, his whole team comes down with him. They also probably don't really care about 1st/2nd place, I know the seeds for the next stage matter, but you could end up being 1st seed AND still face Leicester, so sometimes it doesn't work out so well:)

Yup, it's really amazing. Considering they almost got knocked out by Cluj in the 2nd qualifying round (they won on penalties) and that they lost easily to Ferencvaros, this really is a huge accomplishment.

I think if they don't concede in the last game (they are playing dead-last CSKA at home) that they will be the 1st team ever in European competition not to concede in the group stage.

They will probably still get beaten early in the knockouts, but fair play to them. Takes more than luck for such an achievement.

Surprises continue in Europa League with Napoli and Sociedad drawing in their respective games! At least Leverkusen and Arsenal managed to win...
The last round will be played in the next week, Napoli vs Sociedad is a key match in the group F since the points of the top 3 are close and doesn't guarantee anything for the moment. Spurs vs Antwerep is interesting too although Spurs will proceed to finals!

AC Milan give a good entertainment during match vs Celtic. Despite Krunic's mistake in the 6th minute, Milan did well. Those who played without Ibra, managed to equalize the score in 3 minutes in the first half. 2 additional goals in the second half, solidifying Milan's position as the team that qualifies for the next round alongside Lille. Unfortunatelly, maybe we will see Calhanoglu anymore, since the deal with Milan never come for extension.

Milan players are living up to their expectations even without the magic Ibra and I believe he must be so pumped by his team-mates latest performance. When he will come back this team will show that have been serious about winning since day 1.
Great win yesterday and always enjoyable to watch them play.
