GWT: Europa/Conference League - Knockouts

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol who was that #25 on Leverkusen? What a moron. He just watched Lookman score that starting from behind him.

 

[luiginb]

Wtf was that defending from Palacios??

Bayer playing too many defensive players.

 

[Jack Straw]

Well, got ‘em right where we want ‘em. Just have to get to 90 now.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

remember when someone said that this Atalanta is the worst they've been under Gasperini and are a far cry from what they had been

awesome

 

[erikhamren]

Atalanta celebrated too early or atleast too much, Leverkusen will score on stoppage time anyway

 

[gary69]

Leverkusen get their first attack and (poor) shot on goal after 19 mins.

 

[Savant]

Look, man

 

[erikhamren]

Oooooooooomg!!

 

[koyvoo]

Lookman delivering

 

[gary69]

Lookman easily eludes Xhaka and scores his 2nd with a nice shot.

 

[bluesfan94]

Forgot the final was today. Where has the time gone?

 

[JoVel]

Leverkusen will win this as long as they get to halftime without giving up another goal.

 

[Albatros]

Leverkusen will lose to Kaiserslautern if they play like this.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Destroyed.

 

[koyvoo]

Leverkusen will win this as long as they get to halftime without giving up another goal.

3 goals in 2nd half time added on

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Losing your first game of the season in a European final seemed so predictable.

They've been under their usual level in the Serie A this year. And everything can happen in a short tournament, you should know, you won the UCL managed by Tuchel and starting Havertz lol

they already have their highest point total since 2021 with two matches left to play, and will likely finish in 3rd as a result. they've lost three times in the league since christmas, two of which were to teams presently above them.

I started watching them right before they played LFC and the only thing that I thought was that there is no way this team was as bad as people were saying. They are incredibly dangerous

Yeah, they're fifth with a couple of games in hand, but under teams they should not be under, like Bologna and Juventus (who were so happy with their coach they ran him out of town after winning the cup against the same Atalanta). And the reason they had to go on this kind of streak is that they started the season badly and spent most of the year 8th or lower.

 

[Jack Straw]

Not the half I was looking for but then again, can’t say they’re not staying on-brand.

they haven't been 8th since christmas day, lol, so definitely not most of the year. and - again - the claim was "under their usual level", which is also pretty self-evidently untrue given that they will likely finish with 8 more points than last year and 13 more points than the year before that.

I'd start the second period :

Kovar - Stanisic, Tapsoba, Hincapie, Grimaldo - Palacios, Andrich - Tella, Boniface, Schick, Adli

No Wirtz? No Xhaka?
