The defeat of the BVB. The worst result in 10 years. We know all the teams from the 1/8 final LE

found herself in a dramatic situation after the first match against Rangers FC. At home, the Scottish team, who won 4: 2, turned out to be better, which put Marco Rose’s team in a very difficult position. The very beginning of the match in Scotland showed that Borussia is in an extremely difficult situation – the goal in the 22nd minute was scored by Tavernier from the penalty spot. The German team responded promptly. First, Bellingham led to a draw, and a moment later the goal was scored 2-1 by Malen. Tavernier took the lead right after the break. By the end of the match, the result did not change, which means that Borussia Dortmund is already eliminated in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League.

Thus, Borussia Dortmund has the worst result in European cups in 10 years. For the first time since the 2011/2012 season, the German team did not advance to at least the 1/8 finals of the European cups. Then they were eliminated in the group stage.

Zenit is eliminated after the goal was canceled in the 90th minute of the match

The match between Betis and Zenit Saint Petersburg also brought a lot of emotions. According to many, the meeting should not take place at all after the Russian troops attack Ukraine. Ukrainians gathered in front of the stadium in Seville, protesting with the slogan “we do not want war”. The Spanish team had to defend the one-goal lead – in Russia they won 3-2.

A goalless draw lasted a long time. In the last minutes, however, it was very hot under the Betis goal. In the 90th minute, Chistakov scored a goal in extra time (from this season the principle of away goals does not apply). The players were already thinking extra time when the VAR analysis showed that the goal could not be awarded. In the end, no goal was scored and Betis advanced to the 1/8 finals.

Thus, we have already got to know the full set of teams that will play in the 1/8 finals. The eight teams that advanced from the 1/16 finals will face the winners of the Europa League groups. The drawing of pairs will take place on Friday, February 25. The first matches will be played on March 10, and the rematch on March 17, 2022.
