While the Europa League evening from the perspective of the Bundesliga club is going well, the German kickers in the service of Arsenal have to bury the European title hopes. The Gunners are as surprising as Ajax Amsterdam.
German football professionals Bernd Leno, Mesut Özil and Shkodran Mustafi have left Arsenal in the intermediate round of the Europa League. The Gunners lost on Thursday after a nerve-racking extra time with 1: 2 (0: 1, 0: 0) against Olympiacos Piraeus. Former Bundesliga professional Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had equalized Arsenal in the 113th minute with a sideways pull after an Özil cross, but Youssef El-Arabi (120th) knocked the Londoners out of the competition in the closing seconds. Arsenal won the first leg 1-0.
The favorites Manchester United, Inter Milan and FC Sevilla, on the other hand, did not show any weaknesses. Manchester United won 5-0 (3-0) against Bruges FC, record winner Sevilla 0-0 against CFR Cluj because of the away goal at 1-1 in Romania to progress. Inter Milan, which had to play in front of empty places in Italy due to the outbreak of the new corona virus, won 2-1 (2-1) against Ludogorez Rasgrad. AS Roma trembled with a 1: 1 (1: 1) at KAA Gent in the round of 16. Rome won the first leg 1-0.
The competition has ended for last year’s Champions League semi-finalist Ajax Amsterdam. The Dutch won 2-1 (1-1) against Getafe on Thursday evening, but Ajax lost 0-2 to the first leg. Benfica Lisbon with Julian Weigl (3: 3 against Shakhtar Donetsk) and Celtic Glasgow (1: 3 against FC Copenhagen) have also been eliminated.
Bayer Leverkusen (3: 1 at FC Porto) and VfL Wolfsburg (3: 0 at Malmö FF) had previously reached the round of 16 from the Bundesliga. The game of Eintracht Frankfurt at Red Bull Salzburg was postponed to Friday (6 p.m. / DAZN and Nitro).
