Europa League match ups first

Benfica vs Juve

Valencia vs Sevilla

Palvel Nedved is in a 2000 euro looking suit with tennis shoes on

If Juve make the final they will be considered the away team

Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich

Chelsea vs. Atletico Madrid


If I understood the guy correctly, even though Atletico Madrid was drawn first and thus should have the first home game, Chelsea will host the first game because Real Madrid and Atletico can't play in the same stadium on back to back nights?

nvm, they just changed it and said Atletico will be the home team for the first leg.

So, I'm seeing where UEFA has overruled that ridiculous clause Chelsea had for Courtois, and he can play without AM paying that fee?

Is that true?

Edit: apparently so Null and void

He shouldn't be allowed to play imo. That's how all loan deals work that I've been aware of.

That's only an EPL rule...

IMO he's an Integral part of that team and one of the reasons they've come so far... I'm glad he can play!

I don't care if he plays or not but it's ridiculous for UEFA to try and say they can null a contract agreed upon by all parties.

Is it an EPL rule or is it a clause in the loan contract? It's BS that they can override a clause mutually agreed upon between parties like Randy said.

They can of it goes against their rules and regulations...

quote:

Both the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations contain clear provisions which strictly forbid any club to exert, or attempt to exert, any influence whatsoever over the players that another club may (or may not) field in a match. It follows that any provision in a private contract between clubs which might function in such a way as to influence who a club fields in a match is null, void and unenforceable so far as UEFA is concerned.

Or if they feel like it it seems.

Just last year Celtic played IF Elfsborg where they had Mo Bangura loaned out. This was the response from UEFA just last year:

quote:

"As we, in line with the FIFA regulations on status and transfer of players, consider a loan to be a transfer, we do not have any regulations regarding players not playing against their parent club whilst on loan to another club. If a player is duly registered on the player list of IF Elfsborg then he can play against any team that Elfsborg are drawn against."

"Any agreement between the two clubs that this player wouldn’t play against Celtic should Elfsborg be drawn against them is purely between the clubs. UEFA would not have any involvement or consideration of this agreement, it would be neither endorsed or enforceable by UEFA."


It's pretty clear that this is complete bullshite. Atletico got a great deal on one of the top keepers in the world and they knew this was a possibility when they took this deal.

I'm not sure of Chelsea's plans for Courtois after this season, but if I were them I'd tell em to frick off. He can rot on the bench before he goes to Atletico.

There does seem to always be a lot of drama around him. I'm pretty close to the point where I'd be happy to cash in on him.

Wow. That's pretty brazen, even by UEFA standards, to be so openly corrupt.
