Europa League Dag 2, Donderdag 4 okt
October 4, 2018 -
Het nieuwe seizoen van de Europa League gaat verder met de wedstrijden in de tweede ronde van de groepsfase. Het toernooi eindigt met de finale in het Olympisch Stadion in Baku, Azerbeidzjan, op 29 mei 2019.
Chelsea, Europa League winners in 2013, face Hungarian opposition Vidi FC at Stamford Bridge. The Blues, now managed by former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri, recorded an opening match victory over PAOK with a goal from Brazilian star Willian. Chelsea has endured multiple managerial changes in recent years but Sarri is aiming to transform the club’s fortunes with positive, attacking play and off-field harmony, an approach that is already producing results.
Elsewhere, Italian giants AC Milan host Olympiacos of Greece at the San Siro Stadium, and Arsenal face a long distance trek to Azerbaijan champions, Qarabag.
