Marcel Sabitzer with Manchester United and Gernot Trauner with Feyenoord Rotterdam are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. The “Red Devils” also won 1-0 away against Betis Sevilla on Thursday after a 4-1 win in the previous week. Meanwhile, Feyenoord outclassed Shakhtar Donetsk 7-1. However, Philipp Lienhart and Michael Gregoritsch were eliminated with SC Freiburg. After the 1-0 win in Turin, Juventus also won the second leg in Breisgau 2-0.
Freiburg had declared the home game against the former Italian series champions to be a football festival. Lienhart was unable to take part on the field because he was unable to recover in time after suffering a thigh injury. Michael Gregoritsch, on the other hand, was there from the start. The home side had the first big chance of the game, but Matthias Ginter failed with a header at Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny (22nd), Gregoritsch’s follow-up shot from a tight angle was blocked.
The “Old Lady”, who was only seventh in Serie A after a deduction of 15 points, then proved that she had an offensive urge even without Angel di Maria and Federico Chiesa on the bench. The supposed 1:0 of the Italians by Dusan Vlahovic was annulled because the attacker was offside in front of his dust-kick. Shortly before the break, Freiburg defender Manuel Gulde, who had already been warned, blocked a shot with his hand and VAR intervened. Gulde had to leave the field with yellow-red, Vlahovic converted from the penalty point with a lot of risk.
