Shaktiar won it beating Werder in the final (Diego was suspended for the final).
Milan were eliminated, by Diego's Werder, in February already.

Ah yes, Werder.

Anderlecht is quite lucky, certainly when you see some of the names in the fourth (Genoa, Toulouse, really?). Alson taking points from Ajax is far from impossible for Anderlecht, at least compared to the likes of Werder, Shaktar, Villareal, Roma or Valencia.

It's going to be tricky to play in Zagreb, but for the rest Anderlecht should aim for the first spot and settle for the second.

How many teams qualify from this?

Two teams from each group.

And yes, Anderlecht should be able to qualify, even Ajax is possible, they should just keep an eye on Suarez.
I surely have good hopes in this, let's see if I get dissapointed (again) or not.

Is it me or UEFA cup/Europa League looks better this year, stronger!

 

[only-juve]

Quite tricky groups for the itelian teams, would have preferred easier ones so the country gets more points

Looking at the italians and the german's groups, i'd say goodbye to serie A's CL 4th spot next season

 

[Salvo]

i think genoa are a force TBH

 

[Geof]

Two teams from each group.

Aaah right. It's two teams per group (i.e. 24 teams) + the 8 teams that were 3rd in the CL = 32 teams.

same here, i'd really like if they put up a decent effort and show good performances in EL

 

[pitbull]

woohoo, Heerenveen, Hertha and Sporting in Riga, nice, hopefully Ventspils can also pick up some points there, the opponents looks strong (especially Sporting, don't know about Hertha, they lost Voronin from last season, right?), but not unbeatable for latvians.

right........were are all the Dynamo fans now eh? we gave your boys a hell of a fright last night, just wish we would start the Scottish season earlier so we are fit and have a slight chance

Is it me or UEFA cup/Europa League looks better this year, stronger!

That's because of the new system that sends more teams from lower leagues to the CL.

Crazy the clubs and national team have to play so many key games when they are even close to being fully fit and match sharp.

we always used to say that if you were a national team in qualifying with Italy in your group to try and get them early in the season, but we are continually being caught out the same way nowadays, add to that our lack of ability at the best of times and we are seriously hamstrung



that said i am extremely proud of Hearts for their attitude, commitment and performance the otehr night, aided by their keeper a lot i must say but witha little bit more luck we might just have pulled it off. just makes me wish we were better prepared for the 1st leg

 

[Red]

I didn't watch the game, but Hearts seem to have got a fair amount of praise for their performance.

Were they actually that good or did Dinamo just not show up at all?

Is it just me or is Laszlo looking very sullen and fed up in his interviews this season? Not the passion and aggression there was last season.

 

[Bozi]

a bit of both really, i think they were a bit shell-shocked with our display and the "bear-pit" of Tynie. in all honesty the criticism we received in the first leg was justified and the praise following teh return was equally justified, we made a very good team look very ordinary and if we had a finisher worthy of the name we might just have pulled it off.

Lazslo is obviously frustrated at the lack of funds to buy a striker but in all honesty he knew the situation before he agreed to become coach, though we all know that lack of goals could be our Achilles heel this season

Roma losing to Basel
