Great news! Watched the first leg to see PP Hernández and Marcelo Díaz. Glad you guys made it!


Oh, and I feel bad for Ranieri, it's not like Leicester is a team built to have better results and he made it out alive from Sevilla in Champions League. (And criminal foul by Dele Alli) 

Pablo Hernandez is now probably one of if not the most important player in our team. He's truly worked hard after a difficult first year. Awesome player. Diaz is still addapting, but he made pretty good games this year. It's a shame that Orellana showed his confictive behaviour, he was doing pretty well until he screwed things off...

there seems to be less big teams left in the Europa League this year compared to the last few years, which is a shame

Fine, more chances for Celta to win the EL haha. Ajax, OL, Man U are still very dangerous teams.

Díaz has a weak body and that's bad but I think he will be able to show the best of his football eventually, and it's a shame what happened with Orellana. Fun thing is that in national media some people said that the big thing Orellana did was bringing up a case where Berizzo had an affair with the wife of a chilean journalist when he was coaching in Chile. Gave it a soap opera feeling haha. 

Oh, and I think Roma are candidates too. Great campaign in Serie A and destroyed a good team like Villarreal in the first leg.
