EUROPA LEAGUE 2022. Place for the return matches of the Europa League and the Europa League Conference this Thursday, May 5. Find all the broadcast information.
[Mis à jour le 5 mai à 10h45] A place in the final. Olympique de Marseille, the last French club involved in the European Cup this season, is aiming for the final of the Europa League Conference this Thursday, May 5, by receiving the Dutch from Feyenoord. Beaten 3-2 to go in a totally crazy match, theOM hopes to reverse the situation in an almost full Vélodrome stadium (one of the corners is closed because of the incidents against the Greeks of Olympiakos.) But beaten dryly 3-0 in the league last weekend against Olympique Lyonnais, the Marseille are not necessarily confident before approaching the return match.
“It’s the most important moment of the season,” Milik said at a press conference. We respect Feyenoord, they’re a good team, but on the way out, we made a lot of mistakes, I’m hopeful that we’ll be better tomorrow (Thursday editor’s note). It will be a different match than the one in Rotterdam. We expect a number of things from Feyenoord. In the first half, in the first leg, they pressed us very high, from the start of the match, they tried to take the depth. But I expect another scenario tomorrow. In the other game, José Mourinho’s AS Roma will try to get the upper hand against English side Leicester after the 1-1 draw in England a week ago.
In the Europa League, the return matches are also on the program this Thursday, May 5. For the first meeting, the Germans of Leipzig have only a small lead against the Scots of Glasgow Rangers, but still leave with the favors of the forecasts for this match. For the second match, other Germans, those of Frankfurt, also leave with an advantage after their 2-1 victory on the lawn of West Ham, who fell OL in the previous round.
