yeah Lyon did feel like a win, (god that was a cold night helped by the friendly police escort back!)
Definitely felt like a win for me, as when the draw Tottenham or Lyon v Inter Milan or CFR Cluj was made, I gambled & booked flights to Milan for £40 return! 1 minute away from a bad choice.

That escort after the game was lively to say the least aha.

The gist of what I'm saying is that I believe the variety and 'globe trotting' nature of the Europa league easily makes it an attractive competition for fans and one that doesn't need defending.


That's a great stat mate, I've always wanted to look into it myself but could never be bothered.

Slovakia should read Slovenia mind you but I'll let it pass ;)
