A place to discuss the events in UEFA land during the 2019-20 season.
UEFA CL/EL games not involving Spurs, tournament draws, which UEFA officials have been
arrested etc.
 
The latest from our mate Bert ...

Spurs will be at worst in CL draw pot 2, regardless of the result of the final.


This is how the club rankings stand from day 1 of the 2019-20 season :

As you can see, a couple of steady seasons in the CL puts a club right up
the rankings. It will probably take two more consecutive seasons of reaching
the CL QFs for Spurs to reach the points tally that ensured the Goons got
a draw pot 1 ranking regardless of how sh*te they were in the KO stages.

The Europa League actually has a fairly respectable venue for next season's final, which is in Poland:

An actual football stadium with a fairly unique look in a pretty central location for Europe's teams.
Slightly small at 41,620 capacity, but a vast improvement on the much larger dump in Baku.

Liverpool fans will think it's their year again in the Champions League, as the final's at the Shataturk in Istanbul:

76,761 capacity, but with a big ****ing running track around the pitch.

In other words, if you're stuck in Europa League purgatory, don't have a passenger taking home £350k a week in your team
 
The third qualifying round for the CL is throwing up some unexpected scorelines right now
In Amsterdam, Ajax are drawing 1-1 at half time with PAOK and 3-3 on aggregate
In Kyiv there's a mad game between Dynamo and Brugge going on, which is now 3-3 on the night with a stoppage time goal at each end plus two players sent off for two bookable offences while Brugge lead 4-3 on aggregate
In Oporto, Porto are 2-0 down on the night and trailing 2-1 on aggregate to Krasnodar within fifteen minutes of the second leg kicking off
In Glasgow, Celtic are 1-0 down on the night and 2-1 down on aggregate to Cluj

On the plus side, Qarabag have been eliminated by Apoel Nicosia, so at least that's one hellish away trip avoided...
