Great Summit
FC Barcelona and Manchester United drew 2-2 in the Europa League last night. The potential Champions League clash delighted fans and press alike. The ‘Sport’, for example, saw one “great party”. The ‘Mundo Deportivo’ wishes the Catalans one “Win at Old Trafford”. The British ‘Mirror’, on the other hand, allows itself a pun and headlines: “Erik ten Arrgh”. To explain: The Dutch trainer was dissatisfied with the referee’s performance.
Eredivisie ‘passed out’
The Europa League night was not quite as rosy for the representatives of the Dutch Eredivisie. Regarding the performances of Ajax Amsterdam and PSV Eindhoven, ‘Sportwereld’ writes: “That hurts.” The Amsterdam team had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Union Berlin and made an impression in the eyes of the sports newspaper “unconscious”. In addition, Eindhoven lost 3-0 at FC Sevilla. The ‘Sportswereld’ therefore draws the conclusion: “The resumption of European football is not going well for Dutch clubs.”
The anger of Juventus
Juventus Turin certainly imagined the evening differently. The old lady went into the game as the clear favorite against FC Nantes, but had to settle for a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes. Excitement of the game: In stoppage time (96th minute), the Serie A representative demanded a hand penalty, but was not awarded it. “The referee cheated Juve”Tuttosport gets upset and asks: “And that’s not a punishment?” The ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ has a short and concise headline: “Juve Fury”.
