GWT: Europa/Conference League - Knockouts

[cgf]

It's been a rough spring for the people who think EPL is 10 tiers above any other league in the world.

Farmer's league gunna farmer's league This is why all EPL #s need to be taken with a grain of salt. Those teams just aren't very good.

Injury time winner for Fiorentina against Club Brugge. Deserved victory but had to work for it, Brugge had a man sent off at 2-1 but still managed to equalize through Thiago. So 3-2 probably a good result for Brugge given the circumstances, and all to play for next week.

How does Villa let Olympiakos score four on them at home? Anyone watching that game care to explain...?

Emi being suspended & Unai resting Pau (not sure why). Had a goal in the first 10 minutes disallowed for something — tbh I don’t know what it was for. First 2 goals were offside traps that got broken, first one was called off on the field but VAR said otherwise. 3rd was a handball pen that’s called in Europe and rarely in the PL if I’m not mistaken. 4th was a huge deflection.

Villa played terribly though, didn’t deserve anything from the game. Although I thought the center was pretty inconsistent with calls, he didn’t influence the result.
