You're welcome
Which was shocking to me considering some of the players they have. Then the element of home advantage. I understand leverkusen not losing and even winning but roma should have done way better.

Leverkusen made them look abysmal.
Roma played their plan, wait and hit on the counter. But Alonso did not let them

Derossi legend/hardman act already losing steam? Who would have thought.

It's a pity that Liverpool is out, Leverkusen vs Liverpool would have been a cl final level in el final

We won't turn the scoreline around but we need Martinez back asap. He would have comfortably saved all their goals from open play last night.
We went from a team who were 17th and looked hopeless to 4th spot in the prem and a conference league semi-final with the majority of the same squad so I can only thank Sir Unai for the incredible job he's done.
Our squad is paper thin now with the injuries we've had in the last couple months, basically having to play the same 11 twice a week. We ran out of steam a few weeks back but the teams below are too inconsistent to capitalise.

Why do you think you can't turn it around?
You are playing a Greek team FFS, that is not even 1st in their league
If that scoreline was against a Lille, or a Fiorentina, level side, I would say yes you are prob right
But against Olympiacos? Com' on...

They can turn it around surely, a much stronger side. but it won't be easy by no means.
The Greek league position means little at this point. But atmosphere will be hot. They will need to overcome that too and be calm.
Of course I will be rooting for my home town club though!

Good luck to you then.
It would be amazing I assume for a Greek team to lift a european trophy
I still see it as unlikely given the quality gap, but in knockouts anything can happen

It could have been, but Liverpool imploded, Leverkusen would spank current Liverpool.

Lack of fresh legs mainly. Our bench is basically two centre backs and the academy now and we just look very lethargic.
Plus we have Brighton away Sunday where there will be limited rotation as we are still fighting top 4.
Full strength squad I’d be confident we could turn it around, now I’m not putting much faith in it happening.
Plus their players will be right up for it in front of their home fans knowing they are one game away from the final too.

how do you think Francisco Ortega has done for Olympiacos? Have some hope that he can be fighting for a starter LB position for the Argentine national team soon.
