They should have made them play any remaining European games behind closed doors, home or away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceemo Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Sparta Prague being 3 up against Limassol of Cyprus, means that all eyes on Betis and Rangers. Rangers currently heading for the conference league, but if they win, it will be Betis dropping down to the conference league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Real Betis now strongest opposition we think? They looked pretty poor against Rangers so maybe I'm remembering a former version of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Slovan Bratislava and Basel were in the same group and yet played each other again in the Last 16 so all options are open apart from the fellow group winners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked pretty poor against Rangers so maybe I'm remembering a former version of them Some decent sides in as you'd expect. Frankfurt lost to Aberdeen but beat Bayern 5-1 at the weekend and we're probably suffering for it. Club Brugge held their own in Champions League football last year. Bodo Glimt can give any side a game. Union SG too, Tony Bloom side and beat Liverpool. Olympiacis, PAOK, Fenerbache all tough away games. Still we are probably the best side on paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're still in the raffle for a Champs League place come March, doubt if Unai will use this as other than opportunity to give minutes to fringe players. What would be the point ?
