In the early morning of February 25, Beijing time, the knockout play-offs of the European Union and the Europa League were all played, and the two former Champions League champions of Celtic and Borussia Dortmund were out, which was surprising.
Celtics 1-5 Bodo Grint
In the first leg of the UEFA Knockout Play-off, the Celtics, who were "relegated" from the Europa League, were beaten 3-1 at home by Bodo Grint. Now they have lost 2-0 on the road again, with a total of 1-5 outs in both legs.
As former Champions League champions, the Celtics have performed well in this season's Soviet Premier League, winning 21 games after 27 rounds and pushing the Rangers to the top of the league table with a three-point advantage. Previously, they had won 10 consecutive games in domestic competitions, so it was not a small surprise that they were double-killed by UEFA side Bodo Grint in two legs.
Dort 4-6 Rangers
In the first leg of the Europa League knockout play-off, Borussia Dortmund were beaten 4-2 at home by rangers. The second time the partner faced the Wanderers, Haaland still failed to return from injury, and was eventually equalized 2-2 with a 2-1 lead, with an aggregate score of 4-6. Like the Celtics, they failed to complete the turnaround after falling behind at home in the first leg.
According to statistics, this is the first time in the past 5 years that Dort has scored 6 goals in two legs in the European knockout rounds, which is also the first time in nearly 10 years that they have missed the Round of 16 in Europe.
Interestingly, Borussia Dortmund are 2nd in the Bundesliga, while Rangers are 2nd in the Su Premier League. That is to say, in this matchup, Su Chao won the second place in the Bundesliga, which is not a small unpopular.
