EUROPA LEAGUE 2023. Continuation of the Europa League this Thursday with three French clubs back on the program. The news.
After the Champions League, place in the Europa League this Thursday, October 6 with Rennes who will have a big challenge by receiving Dynamo kyiv, a few weeks after the frustrating draw against Fenerbahce, but who can already see qualification. “For the first three places yes, for the rest nothing will be final because there will be three matches left. But for the first three, it would already be an important option to take from kyiv. But it is a team that lost 2-1 at the last minute at Fenerbahçe (September 8), so it gives an idea of ??the quality of this team which is very well organized so it will not be a piece of cake” explained Bruno Genesio.

For Nantes, after their rout against Qarabag and Monaco, they have to raise their heads against Friborg by offering a benchmark match in the words of Antoine Kombouaré. “It was important to talk about what was wrong, to highlight our weaknesses. The work we did this morning (Wednesday) was very much focused on defensive animation, on how to defend better because that we expect a team from Friborg who will attack in force. How to recover the ball well, get it out better… There were also a lot of discussions with the players, in small groups. We owe ourselves a revenge about ourselves.” (match to follow at 9 p.m. on RMC Sport 1)

There isn’t a lot of difference between the four teams, the first two matches have shown that. We have to play for ourselves, it’s up to us to prove that “In the end we can be the best. But winning this match can already change a lot of things in the standings.” explained Philippe Clément. (match to follow at 6:45 p.m. on RMC Sport 1)
