Inter looking good
Lukaku's goals make me wonder why Man Utd let him go. Over 30 goals this season. He’s scored in 10 consecutive Europa Cup games. He’d have tucked a few of those chances against Sevilla away. Inter’s fifth goal against Donetsk last night showed he’s still got pace to burn too.

A real demolition job and a tasty looking final with Sevilla awaits. Credit to Shakhtar though getting this far without being able to play in their home city because of Ukraine being on a war footing.

I was devastated when he left Everton.We haven’t be the same since.He’s not perfect but he’s got pace,power and he knows where the back of the net is.Still only 27 so still got a few more years in him. |

If it is PSG v Bayern in Saturday's final it could be a classic. PSG looking much more of a team now, rather than a collection of talented individuals

Great match. Prior to this series of games, I couldn't name one Sevilla player. No stars as such just a very disciplined, hard working unit. Inter huffed and puffed but the Spanish deserved the trophy.

Yes. Totally agree. And great to be able to watch it live on YouTube
Guessing Sunday's game will be free to watch on YouTube too - really looking forward to that one

Well Bayern weren’t at their best but didn’t need to be.Neymar didn’t turn up and Mbappa’s had better days.Having said that Bayern should be grateful to Neuer for some good saves

On another day PSG could have scored a few. Overall I'd prefer Bayern win it because of PSG's financial doping. Overall though it was a bit anticliactic Still, now we can forget about football for the Summer - all of five days! - yep, next weekend it's the Charity Shield - Arsenal v Liverpool. For some reason it's being played two weeks before the regular Prem and EFL fixtures start up on 12 Sept 2020 |

Arsenal, Spurs and Rangers already through to last 16 of the Europa - would expect Leicester and United to be joining them

So the Arsenal v Man United Europa League 2021 final is a theoretical possibility...
Granada/Manchester United v Ajax/Roma
Dinamo Zagreb/Villarreal v Arsenal/Slavia Prague
Gunners definitely got the better looking draw, on paper at least
Champs League has got some tasty ties in too...
Bayern Munich or Paris St-Germain v Manchester City or Borussia Dortmund
Real Madrid or Liverpool v Porto or Chelsea
Predictions for the final?
V hard to call but I'll say...
Man City v Liverpool
Imagine two all English finals.

Tuchel still not lost. They must be dark horses as mad as it sounds.
I don't think City will ever win this tournament.

Chelsea are a good outside bet, their defence is becoming solid under Tuchel, not convinced by Werner or Abraham up front tbh.
City strong favourites but can they cope against any of the three best strikers in Europe, Haaland, Lewandoski and Mbappe?
Not Liverpool though.
