3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat for Bundesliga clubs in Europe this week. The good news is that five out of six have it all in their own hands to progress to the next round. The odd club out is of course Hertha B… no wait.

2 Blackouts. Stuttgart continued to show signs of life in their game against Sevilla and they continued to produce stupid defensive lapses, which continually cost them the games. Two such mistakes, coupled with the referee missing an offside position helped Sevilla to a comfortable 3-1 victory.
2 Own Goals. When Bordeaux’s Ciani picked up where Freiburg’s [...]
Champions/Europa League Matchday 1 Wrap-Up
By: Jan | No Comments
Three wins, two draws and one defeat makes for a balanced but not too glorious start to this year’s European season.
Wolfsburg. You are never too old for an impressive Champions League debut. Grafite (30) scored a hat-trick and became only (or already?) the sixth player to do so on his debut. Each of his goals [...]
The Money Game: Champions League vs Europa League
By: Jan | 5 Comments
We’re heading into a new season of European football, which for most people really only means Champions League football.

By: Jan | 2 Comments
The qualification rounds of this year’s European competitions concluded yesterday.
The good news is, that no Bundesliga team has been knocked out yet. The bad news is, that Schalke made the overcrowded UEFA Cup even more overcrowded, by losing to Atletico Madrid (1-0 / 0-4). I give them credit that they were missing five starting [...]

By: Jan | No Comments
It was the European Champions Cup (as in: Champions League) final in Brussel back in 1974. Bayern had reached the final for the first time.
