6-2! 3-2! Epic Night of Champions League: Bode shines + Almaty record, Mourinho encounters hard battle

On August 27, on the past night, three play-offs in the Champions League were played. As a result, Bode Shining, Almaty and Paphos eliminated Graz Storm, Celtics and Belgrade Red Stars respectively, and advanced to the group stage. As of now, there are only 4 places left in the Champions League round of 36. Next, strong teams such as Fenerbahce, Bruges and Glasgow Rangers will strive to eliminate their opponents and advance.

Bod Shine defeated Graz Storm 5-0 at home, and this result made them advance with one foot. In the second round, Bode shining was a visit, but they scored 1 goal early, completely killing the suspense of promotion. In the 15th minute, Jorgensen received the ball in the penalty area, then faced the home goalkeeper and calmly shot to score. Bode shone 1-0 and led the way, and the total score between the two sides became 6-0. The rest of the time was completely reduced to a "friendly match", and Bode Shining did not make things difficult for his opponent. After that, Graz Storm scored 2 goals in a row, reversing the game 2-1 at home, giving the home team fans an explanation, while Bode Shining eliminated Graz Storm with a total score of 6-2 and advanced to the group stage with his head held high.

After this game, Bode Shining also set a great record. This is another team that has advanced to the Champions League group stage after 18 years. Because the Nordic Super League ranks low in UEFA, they have to play in the playoffs all year round, which has led to their frequent elimination. Now that Bode Shining has finally made a major breakthrough, they will not only play 8 group games, but will also receive huge economic returns.

In another game, Almaty faced the Celtics at home, who was a regular at the Champions League and was extremely strong. In the first leg, the Celtics played at home, but they wasted a lot of opportunities and both sides drew 0-0. This time, Almaty is more confident when returning to home court.

In the game, the Celtics still had the advantage, but unfortunately they continued to squander the opportunity. Maeda Daran wasted a single-kill opportunity in the 86th minute, and then the two sides scored 0-0 again. Entering overtime, the Celtics still failed to score. After the draw, the game entered a penalty shootout. In the end, Almaty defeated the opponent 3-2 and eliminated the Celtics in a surprise.

After this game, Almaty set an epic record. This team from Kazakhstan has reached the Champions League group stage for the first time in team history. They eliminated the arrogant Celtics and created a miracle. You know, before this round of play-offs, most people thought that the Celtics could easily advance, but Almaty ended up laughing to the end. I have to say that this is the charm of football.

As for Paphos, they drew 1-1 with Belgrade Red Star 1-1 at home, eliminated their opponents 3-2 in 2 rounds, and successfully advanced to the top 36. In the early morning of August 28, there will be 4 final matches in the Champions League play-offs, including Fenerbahce as a visit to Benfica (0-0 in the first leg). If he loses to his opponent in this game, Mourinho's team will miss the group stage. Last season, Fenerbahce fell in the play-offs, hoping that they can advance smoothly this year. As a traditional giant in the Portuguese Super League, Benfica's strength is unquestionable, and they also have a home advantage. For Mourinho, this is definitely a hard battle. I hope this time, he can lead Fenerbahce to pass the championship successfully. The Champions League is the best stage for him to show his abilities!
