Group Stage, Match Day 6, 12-18-23

Well, folks we've done it. The calendar year has wrapped up in the Europa and Conference League after a scintillating final week of action. We were treated to some barnburners with placement and qualification at stake (Betis 2 - 3 Rangers, Rennes 2 - 3 Villarreal) and some clutch home performances (Brighton beating Marseille, Ludogorets beating Nordsjaelland), and we said goodbye to some of our tournament favorites and valiant underdogs (Ki Klaksvik, Zrinjski Mostar, Backa Topola). All that and more as we break down the action, analyze the final table positions, and take stock of our updated favorites. Cheers to Philippe Clement!
