Looking like LaLiga may not have a single Spanish team in European Semis… neither UEL nor UCL nor Conference.

Ugh, the worst of all outcomes. Would gladly have kept any other team there…even Man City would have been preferable over RM

Mendilibar is the only manager with a chance to hoist a European trophy two years in a row.
- 2022/23: Europa League champions with us.
- 2023/34: Conference League semis with Olympiacos
Not bad for a man who managed his first European match last year!
As an added bonus, he can stick it to Monchi in the next round

Happy to cheer on Mendilibar, but can’t say I have more loyalty to him over Monchi. I’ve taken on Aston (Se)Villa as a second team these days. Granted, Dibu Martinez is a hard pill to swallow, but otherwise enjoying watching Monchi’s success.

I’m going to have to disagree. But I’ve never liked clubs being bought out by massive investors that don’t care in the same way as fans

Aston Villa with Unai Emery and Lenglet losing 2 to 4 against the Olympiakos of Mendilibar and Iborra. Wild!

After the AC Milan fans had a Nopetegui petition fending him off, and even his name going around in Bayern Munchen. Julen has found a new home in West Ham. Good Luck to the Hammers.

So, in the end, European finals:
2 German, 2 Italian, 1 Spanish, 1 Greek.
Not a Premiership team in sight. And Real Madrid snuck in by the skin of their teeth. And even in semifinals, among 12 teams…only 1 English team and 1 Spanish team…
Who are the best leagues these days… clearly not just a question of money, thankfully. Hard to say there’s not a clear correlation with money, but it doesn’t guarantee you going deep into Europe.

Goes to show that football is still a team sport! The way of throwing money at superstars and hoarding talents does not always result in a great TEAM.

Mendilibar, proving once again that football is a simple sport in spite of all the people determined to make it seem like it isn’t.

In better news, Deportivo La Coruña is back. Or atleast back on the way up, after staying down a bit too long. Yesterday beat Barca B with a goal from good old Lucas Perez securing the title.

Málaga is also in the playoff to come back up

Atalanta have absolutely strangled Bayer Leverkusen to end their unbeaten run. A real dominant performance to lift the Europa League.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Ademola Lookman gets a big move due to his hat trick.
Hope you’re not too gutted @SurreySevilla
