Last Night Of European Football Before World Cup

Thursday, 3 November 2022 08:11

Pep Guardiola and Ange Postecoglou react to their European matches last night.

Manchester City and Chelsea are both through to the knockout stage of the Champions League as group winners.

City finished top of Group G after coming from behind to beat Sevilla 3-1 at the Etihad.

Teenager Rico Lewis scored on his Champions League debut.

The 17-year-old full-back was given an opportunity with City already sure they'd be going through as group winners.

Boss Pep Guardiola says he deserved the chance to impress.

Chelsea were 2-1 winners over Dinamo Zagreb in Group E.

Celtic concluded their Group F campaign with a 5-1 loss to Real Madrid. 

Their manager Ange Postecoglou believes their thrashing by Real Madrid might not have been as bad if his side had taken their chances.

The Scottish Premiership holders, who were already out of Europe ahead of kick-off, missed a penalty to make it 2-1 just before half-time in Spain.

But Postecoglou insists he can't fault their commitment:

Shamrock Rovers are looking to sign off their European campaign on a high this evening. 

They’re away to Group F winners Djurgardens in their last Conference League outing. 

Kick-off in Sweden is at quarter-to-six. 

While Republic of Ireland under-21 midfielder Conor Coventry is in line for another West Ham start away to FCSB tonight. 

Arsenal will secure top spot in Europa League Group A tonight if they beat Zurich at the Emirates. 

Manchester United need to win by two clear goals away to Real Sociedad if they’re to top Group E.
