f***ing Villa. I’d just spent 10 mins researching the last time we had no semi finalists in any European competition and they go and equalise.
For those interested it’s 2014-15 (we didn’t have anyone in the quarters that season, let alone the semi finals).
2019-20 Man Utd were our only team in the Semi Finals. They lost to Sevilla in the Europa League SF.
Due to Covid all games in Europe from the QF onwards were decided over 1 leg and played at a neutral venue in that season.
We've effectively had an extra spot this season, just not in the Champions League, by virtue of West Ham getting winning the Conference League last season. We are still in the running for a top 2 finish, although have lost ground to Germany last night (but any German team winning last night...
Makes a bit difference but not to Spain. It’s a shoot out between England and Germany for the second spot so Dortmund beating Atletico isn’t great for England. Need Arsenal to get through tomorrow or it will be a massive advantage to Germany.
Man Utd could be in trouble, they’ve got to play Bayern and win to have a realistic chance of even getting third place. The only thing they’ve got going for them is the game is at Old Trafford.
