A day full of emotions and twists in the Europa League. Farioli’s Ajax did not take advantage of Lazio’s home draw against Ludogorets, lost in San Sebastian and fell to sixth place in the table after five matchdays. Authoritative victories for Braga, Rangers, Athletic and Lyon, also successes for Manchester United and Eintracht, as well as for Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, who come from behind in Prague. Baroni’s team is already arithmetically in the playoffs, Roma are 21st after the last-gasp draw against Tottenham and would play in the play-offs today.
