Two legged games are back

The excitements in the European Cups (leagues) competitions continue at the penultimate week of this month with various phases plus is going to start a new (or old) football event which is appearing every year. While in the 'best and strongest' tournament there will be only one kick-off time, in the second we can choose what to watch or even we may follow multiple matches.

Finally, and for the first and only time in these qualifiers for this season, the Champions league tournament is 'privileged' enough to introduce to us with an 180 minutes battle before entering the group stage. There will be no more dull tactics playing and winning only on one goal, thus clubs who wants to achieve more are going to have second chances in the return leg to try and score more goals as possible. Duels at the fourth (play-off) elimination round are going to be equally staged over two nights.

Tuesday, 22 September at 21.00 CET: Krasnodar - PAOK.
Tuesday, 22 September at 21.00 CET: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Red bull Salzburg.

Wednesday, 23 September at 21.00 CET: Molde - Ferencvaros.

Most interesting of the two, the Europa league tournament is also going to be played over two dates. The qualifying weight of number three will be mostly happening on the last night where even 33 pairs are going to have 11 different kickoffs.
