Turkish turmoil, awesome Andorrans, & it's sh*te being Scottish | Europa & Conference League, Playoff Qualifying, 2nd Leg

from Any Given Thursday

The Europa and Conference League playoff qualifying came to a scintillating conclusion this week, and we're breaking it all down for you. Beginning in Europa, Ferencvaros completed its 2-leg humiliation of Mo Salah's Trabzonspor – a game so bad the coach tried to quit and the club wouldn't let him. It's all very Turkish football. What's going on over there? We also discuss Viktoria Plzen's massive comeback from a 3-goal deficit to beat Red Star Belgrade. But is there VAR controversy involved? Then we tackle a host of drama in the Conference League, where 8 ties when to extra time and/or penalties and a number of others were decided in added time. It was a horrible week for Scottish teams, with only Hearts emerging triumphant, while Rangers and Hibs fell in heartbreaking fashion. Twente and Panathinaikos both pulled off extra time victories on the road, while Lincoln Red Imps shocked Larne, coming from 2 goals down with just 10 minutes to go. Finally, Inter Club d'Escaldes became the first Andorran side to qualify for a European group stage/league phase! Next, we do the Big Boy Check-In, where all 5 clubs qualified for the league phase. Brighton, Monaco, and Freiburg all did so with style, while Atalanta and Getafe scraped through. What does this mean moving forward? And does Ajax's scintillating attacking football qualify them for this group? Finally, we share our initial reactions about the draws in both competitions, and we're welcomed back into David's Coefficient Corner. Cheers to Felip Ortiz!
