Like the OGC Nice, beaten a second time by Benfica (0-4 in the cumulative), three teams were eliminated from the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League and were donated directly to the Europa League. Feyenoord and Salzburg, respectively released by Fenerbahçe and the Bruges club, complete the head of the heads of the standard where the LOSC is. In hat 2, OL sees the Viktoria Plzen landed, dismissed by the Rangers.
As a reminder, as in the Champions League, each participant of the first phase of the Europa League will inherit eight different opponents, two from each hat of the draw on Friday 29 (from 12 noon).
For the DOGUES, the Gones and the Aiglons, the draw could well be particularly difficult in view of the casting of the first hat. Aston Villa, AS Rome, FC Porto, Real Betis and Dinamo Zagreb are the other series in addition to Feyenoord and Salzburg. These are teams of the Champions League level.
Benfica or the Fener for OL?
The dams of C1 and the Europa League dams will determine the rest of the plateau. The eliminated by Benfica-Fenerbahçe and Rangers-Club Bruges posters will embellish the Europa League. In the event of elimination of the LDC, Benfica will land in hat 1 and it is Aston Villa who would descend into hat 2. The Fener led by José Mourinho would go in hat 2 in the event of exit from the C1.
For the three French clubs, it will then be necessary to avoid the representatives of Premier League, Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga present in hats 3 and 4, namely Nottingham Forest (which took advantage of the relegation of Cyrstal Palace at a conference), the Celta of Vigo, Bologna (winner of the Italian Cup), as well as Friborg and Stuttgart.
