* The first leg matches of the UEFA Europa League round of 32 left great results for teams like Tottenham, Roma and Manchester United, and spectacular matches like the one starring Young Boys and Leverkusen.
* In the look “a la Colombiana” low presence. Either they are injured (Luis Suárez from Granada, David Ospina Napoli) or simply substitutes (Davinson Sánchez at Tottenham, Carlos Bacca at Villarreal). The only starters: Alfredo Morelos, played the whole game and the Rangersgsnó team. And Eder Balanta played the entire match and Brugge drew away from Dinamo Kiev.
