You never know with Italian teams. Look at Napoli, leading the table and are out of EL.

Super. I'll stay at the hotel where Verdi died and hope our Europa League hopes survive.

I don't really rate their team but Rino has certainly got them working well in the past few weeks.

Very well-known
Looking forward to this game, could go either way all comes down to the night. Can finally get excited about the EL now the dead rubber is out of the way.

Only if there was some way to disguise Auba as welbeck

Why so serieuse?
Exciting match up, not easy though. Utd won the EL last year and they didn't have to face a single worthwhile opponent, looks like if we do it we'll have to do it the tough way.

Don't like the fact that the other contenders practically got a bye to the quarter finals. Atletico and Dortmund can go through playing their second string.
Doesn't really matter imo. Either we win the EL or we fail, getting to the final or semis doesn't provide an achievement like it might in the CL. There are strong teams in the competition so we'll have to face them sooner or later. If anything having Milan now will be useful to focus our minds and get our arses in gear, instead of the utter sh*te we saw yesterday.

Gotta love the optimism of some posts here.
You'd think: After we knocked out the Ostersunds giants, our games against AC Milan minnows will be easy.
I think AC Milan have better chance than us and that boils down to our lack of striker options by the time we play them and their much better defence.

Marseille aren't really all that, french league is crap. Spanish teams historically own this competition. It's a close call though.
Leipzig are better than Zenit but they're inexperienced and I think they'll capitulate in Russia and lose by 2 goals.
Expecting Lyon to choke away the tie in Russia too.
Thought I'd pick some mini upsets since the best team on paper doesn't always win.

Think that teams from Spain aren't that good this season.Atletico is top team ofc,but others didn't play so well.And i watch form from both teams.Bilbao is 14-th in La liga,Marseille is 3-rd.
Yeah,Leipzig wasn't great against Napoli in that second leg,bad defence and they didn't perform good enough.Still think that they will have enough for Zenit.We'll see.
Naby Keita is injured for the rest of the season apparently, so that'll be a big blow for them.
