Europa League: Of course José has a pic on Fenerbahce’s team sheet. They’ve got some serious Europa heritage thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri, signed from Sevilla – who usually run this show – in the summer.
Hello, hello and welcome to tonight’s European show. We’ve got Women’s Champions League qualifying to keep tabs on, as well as some edgy Europa League action – yes, that’s right, we know you’re only here to hear about Ajax’s Wout Weghorst meeting his old teammates at Besiktas.
The key plotline for the evening – from an English perspective – is the position Arsenal find themselves in. One-nil down from their first leg against Häcken in the Women’s Champions League, they need victory by two goals at home to advance to the group stages (yes, I’ve done the maths).
These are the ones I’ll be keeping a closer eye on tonight:
