Having obviously already qualified viat the league What UEFA say Under the 2024-27 club competition format, if the Europa League winners qualify directly for the league phase of the Champions League via their domestic league, then the club with the best individual coefficient of all the teams in Champions League qualifying (champions path and league path) goes directly through to the league phase. However, no leapfrogging is permitted here, meaning a team from the league path can only move up to the league phase provided that this club is the highest ranked domestically of those from its association that have not already qualified for the league phase of the competition directly. If this is not the case, the automatic league phase place goes to the club with the next best coefficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Just incredible. You would have thought at 0-2 down after 80 minutes against a decent Italian team, there was no chance.

Lambert Simnel Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Amazing end to the game tonight. Was not prepared for that. As an aside, I had a look back at the UEFA Cup Leverkusen won in 87/88. Some great wins there, including beating Barca (OK, before Barca were what they later became). Best of all, though, is the first round draw, which had Aberdeen and Dundee Untied having to face the Irish giants of Bohemians and Coleraine (respectively), while Celtic got drawn against Borussia Dortmund. Ho ho ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the BBC Bayer Leverkusen have scored 17 goals in the 90th minute or later (excluding extra time), the joint-most of any side across Europe’s top five leagues, along with Liverpool.

I was sure we ended a longer Celtic streak and I was right, that stopped at 56 in the Harry Cochrane/Posnan game.

In commentary last night they said Celtic went something like 60 matches unbeaten (can’t remember the exact number) in the 1920s or 30s but Leverkusen’s was a modern record (I.e including Europe). We ended Celtic’s domestic unbeaten run in the game you refer to but they’d lost in Europe during that time.

Football in the modern era is so stale with the same teams winning the same cups over and over again. I think its superb that Alonso has been able to deliver Leverkusen their day in the sun. Also absolutely comical that Harry Kane can score 40 odd goals and STILL not have a cup to him name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
