Europa League 2015/2016

This tie is still dangerously balanced. Valencia cannot concede. If Bilbao score one they go through on away goals.

Sparta Prague are a severely underrated team, although it has to be said that Lazio aren't very good. Sparta did very well in the group stages and destroyed FC Krasnodar in the last 32, which was a tremendous achievement.

I'm sorry if I came across as underestimating Sprague; I watched their games against Schalke in the group stage. I'm more surprised about how weak Lazio is at home in such a decisive game.

Interesting BVB line up without Hummels in starting XI:

Probably one of the very few times we actually get away with resting him. Tottenham needs to come to us, so we might be less reliant on Mats´ build up play.

Nah mate, I was speaking in general. To be fair, the current result is still surprising nonetheless.
 
Just seen that Christian Pulisic is on the bench for us :drool:. Hope the game allows him a couple of minutes. Love watching the kid play.
 
Jeez GNev deserves some credit for achieving this result so far with a defence with Vezo and Aderlan :lol:
 
I realize that Villareal have very clever defensive positioning, but this is still soooo uninspired by Leverkusen. The competition won´t miss them if they go out.
 
Villarreal proving they are a true Spanish club. Time wasting just like the big boys.
 
Oh shit Aduriz scores. Wonderful flick from Raul Garcia. The balance of the tie has changed all of a sudden.

Soldado must've set a world record there for longest time taken for a substituted player to leave the field of play.

The theatrics and this time wasting are the only things I truly dislike about Spanish football. So unneeded here aswell. Bayer could play for another two hours and not come close to scoring.

I wish Auba and also Mkhitaryan would get some rest too. Although I'm fully aware that Heno would be cross with Tuchel then.
While I agree that Spurs need to act tonight, I somehow expect that Tuchel doesn't want his lads anything less than to boss the game.

Leverkusen have barely troubled this Villarreal backline.

TBF, Leverkusen had difficulties this season troubeling Bundesliga sites. Partly this can be explained by injuries but a big deal can be attributed to Roger Schmidt's stubborness.
 
Wow. This Leverkusen team have as much belief as the current United team. Bizarre is not even the word to describe this performance.
 
Man Valencia's finishing has been shit.

And they got screwed over by a handball in buildup to Athletic goal.
 
Since GN took over Negredo did everything what he could to sack him :lol:. Didnt watch a lot but every game i watched Negredo missed at least 5 chances.

How has Hummels been this season for you?

Good first season half (way better than it was potrayed in the media), spectacular since the winter break (only one who rivals Mkhitaryan as the player of the season). Really grew into his role as captain aswell.

Meanwhile Leverkusen is captained by Hakan " the Genius" Calhanoglu. No wonder they show no fight...
 
Wait what Rukavina plays for Villarreal !? Tho he is playing in Indonesia or somewhere like that
 
Bilbao/Villarreal vs Dortmund would be nice to see.
