Are you telling me you wouldn't take the chance to go to ET for fatigue reasons? Sure we got Juve on the weekend, but in reality this along with Coppa should be our objectives. The CL has slipped away once again and at best we're looking at the EL again next season. The Coppa still grants us an automatic berth to the EL I believe.
Only the winner of the Coppa Italia goes into the Europa League. The loser gets nothing unless the winner is already qualified for Europe. Since Roma or Internazionale are not looking good for Europe if we lose there is no garuntee we would be back in Europe next season. We must rectify our League form immedietely and hopefully finish in the top five. The League must always be a priority unless in the event of a Final.
Played a solid 1st half but no goals to show for it. Ederson and Hernanes have left their shooting boots at home unfortunately. Kozak has been average as well. We're really pressing them and have forced tons of corners as well. I still don't know how we haven't scored against these guys yet.
Well Fener score on their only chance of the match. The damage in the 1st leg was too much to overcome.

We tried everything. The first leg result was a disaster, the referee ruined it for us. We threw everything at them at the end but they scored on their only chance. That was really galling. Over the two legs they were more clinical then us. I can not fault the effort or commitment though.
Agreed can't fault the effort in both legs tbh. 11 vs 11 we were the better team, but they were more clinical and Erkin really tilted the tie in their favor in the 1st leg and he scored the tying goal tonight as well.
