On this night of football passion, we witnessed the surprises and regrets of the Europa League play-offs, and felt the infinite feelings that football brings us. The promotion of giant teams such as AC Milan, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica is exciting, while Roma's victory through penalty shootouts is exciting.
The battle between Rome and Feyenoord was nothing short of dramatic. Feyenoord showed their attacking prowess just five minutes into the game, but Roma did not disappoint us and a brilliant long-range strike 10 minutes later was exciting. The penalty shootout after extra time made people clench their fists, and finally the heroic performance of the Roma goalkeeper helped the team reach the round of 16 with an aggregate score of 6-4.
Marseille's comeback win was also one of the highlights of the night. After Gattuso's dismissal, the team showed a new look, from 0-1 to 3-1, and every goal brought tears to the eyes. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal, Sarr's crucial volley and Kondogbia's late goal made Marseille's path to qualification legendary.
Although AC Milan suffered an upset, they still advanced with an aggregate score of 5-3. Rafael Leao's one-time goal not only showed his individual ability, but also gave AC Milan fans hope. Such a performance will undoubtedly make more giant teams eyeing him.
The promotion of Benfica and Sporting Lisbon is a testament to the quality of the Portuguese giants. Benfica, in particular, showed the team's resilience and determination with their stunner in the first leg and perseverance in the second leg. And Sporting Lisbon's draw at home is enough to make them proud to go to the next round.
On this night, we witnessed the charm of football, whether it was the persistence of the giant team or the hard work of the small team, we felt the charm and passion of football. Every promotion is not only a victory for the team, but also a tribute to football feelings. On this passionate stage, every player and every fan is the brightest star.
