European roundup: Sevilla beat Barça in cup first-leg as Neymar injured for PSG | European club football

Sevilla defender Jules Koundé scored an extraordinary solo goal and Ivan Rakitic struck against his old side in a 2-0 win over Barcelona in a Copa del Rey semi-final first leg on Wednesday.French centre back Koundé opened the scoring in the 25th minute, dribbling from his own area and playing a one-two with a team mate before bursting past four Barça players to confidently slot past Marc-André ter Stegen.The Barça keeper made a superb save to prevent Sergio Escudero doubling Sevilla’s lead at the end of the first half but Croatia midfielder Rakitic made sure of the victory with a thumping finish into the roof of the net in the 85th minute.Barça felt they should have been awarded a penalty at 1-0 down when Jordi Alba was tripped on the edge of the area but referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz gave a free kick without checking with the VAR whether the foul had taken place inside the box.“Everyone has told me it was a penalty,” said Barca coach Ronald Koeman. “They made a lot of fouls but clever fouls and they defended very well. I think we deserved more, we played well and created a lot of chances. I think it’s a harsh result for us given what we did on the pitch.”French Cup holders PSG reached the last 32 of the competition with a 1-0 win at Ligue 2 side Caen on Wednesday but Neymar suffered a possible groin injury six days before their Champions League last-16 first leg against Barcelona. PSG will already be without the injured Ángel Di María for the Barcelona game.Neymar Read the full article

Revenge taken quickly So arsenal won this game in a style like ødegaard golazo,Gabriel jumping header and Elneny thunder ⚡️ strike and arsenal was perfect with their tactics move the ball on both flanks and gets the control on ball in midfield too plus olympiacos as you except from them that they sit back and relay on opponent mistakes and mostly their plan works out but my question is why arsenal gave the ball in a stupid way at important areas seriously they did for 2,3 times like when luiz lost the ball in defence but the opponent player did not convert into goal but in second half ceballos gave the possession in a cheap way and that’s where they conceded and arteta need to improve this if they want full control on ball but the positive is arsenal is in good situation of this fixture 🔴🔴 @arsenal #europaleague #roundof16 #firstleg #at #olympiacos #getin (at 𝒪𝓃 𝓂𝓎 𝓌𝒶𝓎 .) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMTVDNkhB2H/?igshid=11ao4ff09xhr1
