There are seven places left in the Champions League, and the playoffs are divided into two paths. The non-champions in the league take the league path, and the league champion takes the championship path, such as Ferencvaros losing 1-3 to Calabak, and Paphos 2-1 Belgrade Red Star. These results all affect the promotion in the future.
The second leg played on the 27th and 28th, Benfica had to go away, Mourinho was under great pressure, Bode shining was basically stable, it depends on whether he could defend his advantage, Copenhagen could take advantage if he lost less, and Basel had to find a way to hold on to his opponent.
The Champions League has been changed to a 36-team league system, and the group stage will become the Swiss round next year. Now the top five in the Premier League + Tottenham have entered, the top five in La Liga and the top five in Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 have also been decided. The last seven places depend on the playoff results, and those who lose will have to go to the Europa League.
Fenerbache's home audience was quite noisy, but he didn't help. Benfica played well in defense and counterattack, but he didn't score. The two teams had many yellow cards, and their physical strength may be affected in the second round. Mourinho has brought Roma in before, and this time he wants to do it again.
Kalabak defeated Ferencvaros in an upset, Paphos 3-0 Dynamo Kiev, these dark horses were quite surprised, Bruges 3-1 Wanderers, but the Wanderers lost 1-3 in the first round, and it was difficult to turn the tables in the second round.
The competition for places in the Champions League is fierce, and some teams have to endure until the last moment to know their fate. Now wait for the second round of the game, and whoever wins and loses may change the final roster.
After the first round of the Champions League play-off, the remaining seven places will depend on the last two games. The madman wants to enter the Champions League and wins away games. The small team has little chance of making a comeback. This scene is like a school exam. Only after passing this level can you advance.
