forgot Navas played for City, was thinking he must be by far the most successful player in this comp
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
No, it isn't (unless you know something I don't and their 15 point deduction is going to be reinstated). They're 8 points ahead of 5th place with 3 games left.
Could have been Italy versus England in all three European finals. Yet another thing we bottled.
No, 6/6. If I'm not mistaken, every time they reached the quarterfinals, they won the trophy
Crazy...
We missed few sitters in 2020 semis as well and lost that game in the end.
They're getting docked however many points needed to bump them off top 4
Based on what? They got given 15 initially and even the prosecution agreed that's too harsh.
I'd expect them to be given max 9 points deduction and they're 8 ahead of Milan in 4th with 3 games to go.
They can definitely get there.
It‘s pretty much guaranteed that we will get another point deduction, but fewer than 15 points. We will probably have to extend our lead to be sure. But I think it’s more likely that we beat Milan in the league to extend our lead than winning a European final
Oh I see, thought they got their points back and the matter was settled.
Shoutout to ex United guy, Matic.
Another monstrous performance in a clutch game.
Amazing playacting, defending, physicality.

FIGC(and UEFA) are gonna want to avoid sending a team that was penalized for cooking the books, and has another trial coming up later in the year, also for cooking the books, in the CL

I caught a few minutes of this on a German stream as Zalewski was faking an injury, and rolling back into the field to waste time (H. Kane style)... The commentator went like "21 Jahre alt, schnell gelernt..." (21 years old, He learned quickly...) Must be extremely frustrating for the opposition... I'd like to know how much effective time was played of that second half.
What a shithousery final. Both teams will be on the floor and the medic teams will have more kilometres than the players.
Would like to see Jose win it.
We were 2-0 up, I’m not excusing that shower with the schedule. We’ve crashed out of Europe & shown no improvement, so something hasn’t ‘given’ to make us better.
It’s the Europa League, an FA Cup run littered with home draws & Top4 - you don’t need to be the best to achieve that.
People bend over backwards to make excuses for this squad. Schedule was far from ideal but we’re not asking them to chase the treble.
Trouble is we’ll only be buying so many players, the majority of the squad will be made up of this & past years contingent so I don’t expect much improvement to be honest.
We’ve seen exactly who the vast majority of these players are in key moments so it’s time we acknowledge that.
No, but we were asking them to play twice a week for months, with our first team and squad lacking quality and depth. There's just a limit to what they could do. We weren't asking them to chase THE treble, but we were asking them to play in the league and chase a cup treble.
We dug our own hole in the Europa League, but that's the sort of thing that can happen when you are playing in several cup competitions and can't allow yourself many mistakes. We didn't improve after that defeat in Sevilla because the team was pretty much done. The schedule being lighter than it might have been after that was not some sort of miracle cure after months of being overworked.
Even 3 or 4 decent quality squad additions would make a world of difference. Should be a busy summer ahead as a lot of dead wood still needs to be shipped out.
Two teams known for shithousery and pragmatic football in the final. Normally this should be the game to skip for the neutral fan if not for it being final. Genuine can't have lower expectation for the football on display.
The thing is those who got slayed by Seville would feel the same in the aftermath of their games too.
Who is going to tell him?
Final is tomorrow.

Three muppets.
Don't those Polish lads and Sevilla have some running feud?
Remember them clashing in Manchester a while back.

Smalling or Telles. Good luck lads.
Small bet on Sevilla. Just can't pull for Jose.
that’s a lovely edit
Just cant think who I want to lose more
Roma will get my vote tonight. Mourinho is Mourinho. I would be happy for him if Roma wins.
Agree
SPQR. About time these Sevilla bastards let someone else win this trophy
Would prefer Roma to win. Just hope it's a good match.
Don't think it will be an entertaining match. I expect Roma to park the bus and Sevilla with the ball but not being able to creat many chances..
My prediction: 1-0 Sevilla

Vamos Roma.
A bit annoying seeing Sevilla in the final. They really don't deserve to be there. Hopefully their luck has run out.
We would be here tonight if only...
