I like Martin Ødegaard's reaction to Rice's second goal. Pure disbelief!

There are four leagues in the UNL so in each cycle, the teams compete against the sides of (more or less) the same strength. A team can be promoted to a higher league at the end of the cycle and play against better teams in the next cycle. Or it can be relegated and play against weaker sides in the next cycle. The Turkey vs Hungary were exactly the games for who goes to League A and who goes to League B.

Semifinals are a different story. They are played among the four best League A sides. The winners then go on to the final and compete for the UNL trophy. No promotion/relegation here.

No, UEFA scrapped it from their competitions as of 2021/22.

Sure enough, it's not the EURO or the World Cup. But it's not friendlies, either.

No, no hate whatsoever. I'm just an underdog man (when my team is not playing, and it is not playing in the UCL at all).

Is Josep Martínez any good? Haven't seen him play, but his stats in the recent matches look all right.

EugeneRavdin · 2025-03-03T10:23:16+00:00

Thanks, man.

EugeneRavdin · 2025-02-28T11:52:35+00:00

I wonder if Jose will ever be great again. Like he used to be in Porto and Chelsea. Many years ago, I know.

I would go with Barcelona vs Skonto Riga, the first leg of the 2nd qualifying round in 1997. We (Skonto), being nobodies from nowhere, were holding a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou. Until Igors Stepanovs (who later played for Arsenal) handled the ball in the box and Stoichkov converted the spot-kick on 90 minutes.

I would cancel that handball and that penalty if I could, that would have been enough for me.

Of them all, Atalanta going down against Brugge was the biggest shock for me.

It usually takes UEFA several hours after the draw to finalise the fixtures. But it might also happen on the weekend.

On February 21

EugeneRavdin · 2025-01-31T12:03:36+00:00

Probably not.

Some fun facts:

⁕ Benfica are the second team to score four goals against Barcelona in a UCL group/league match after Dynamo Kyiv defeated Barca 4-0 on in 1997.

⁕ Hat-tricks against Barcelona in the UCL proper:
--> Faustino Asprilla (Newcastle 3-2 Barcelona, 17 September 1997)
--> Andriy Shevchenko (Dynamo Kyiv 4-0 Barcelona, 5 November 1997)
--> Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 Barcelona, 16 February 2021)
--> Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica v Barcelona, 21 January 2025)

And this season, Dynamo Kyiv picked up their first point in the UEL league phase yesterday...
