Europa League: Barcelona triumph over Napoli, Rangers and Betis hold out

Barcelona played as… such after being inspired by ‘Diego Armando Maradona’ and co-dissolving Napoli 4-2who leaves no doubt about the goal in the Europa League, apart from reaching the last 16 of the institution.

The Catalans were the absolute dominants on the field and were never threatened by the “Partenopei”. First-half goals from Jordi Alba, Frankie de Jong (with a great spot outside the box) and Gerard Pique completely captured the picture, despite reducing the score with a 23rd-minute Lorenzo Insigne penalty.

The hosts’ only two finals against eleven guests did not let Luciano Spalletti’s players wake up in the second part. Barcelona stayed on the gas and found another goal in Pierre Emerick Obameyang, who scored four goals in five games with the Blaugrana. The only thing the Italians managed to do was reduce with Mateo Politano in the end.

The sheriff reached the spring but did not drink water in Portugal across from Braga. The defeat 0-2 led the pair to extra time and from there to penalties. The Moldovan failed in the first three attempts, but then he spoke George Athanasiadis, which brought her back to the bay with two back-to-back surgeries. However, Francisco Moura’s goal in the 5th execution of the hosts “sealed” Braga’s qualification and ended the sheriff’s hectic European course (for which the Stefanos Evangelou left on the bench).

Dortmund had to climb a Calvary without Erling Halland. He made it to a point, but finally bent down and stopped 2-2 against ranger in Glasgow, in a 4-2 rematch in favor of the Scots in Westphalia. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side took the lead in the 22nd minute through a James Tavenier penalty, but Jude Bellingham and Daniel Mullen upset the score before the end of the first half. However, their stamina waned and in the 2nd part Tavernier equalized while Rangers scored a goal which was annulled by VAR.

Betis drew 0-0 with Zenit, a result enough to send Russia back the team from St. Petersburg after the first game had ended 3-2 in favor of the Spaniards. The “Verdiblancos” were clearly superior and even had a goal in the first half, but in the end they couldn’t convert their dominance into a goal without costing them. This was also helped by the VAR, which canceled the Russian goal in the delays.
