Los ‘spurs’ de Mourinho visitan al Lokomotiv Plovdiv y los ‘rossoneri’, con Ibra, al Shamrock en una segunda ronda previa a partido único.
Los primeros representantes de las cinco grandes ligas entran ya en liza hoy en la segunda eliminatoria de la Europa League. Además del Granada, el Tottenham de José Mourinho, Milan, Reims y Wolfsburgo se juegan ya a las primeras de cambio su continuidad en el torneo en un partido a cara o cruz que, además, afrontarán fuera de casa. A los vencedores les quedarán dos cribas más, también a un encuentro, antes de la fase de grupos.
El parón provocado en la pasada temporada pasada por la pandemia de coronavirus ha obligado a comprimir el calendario de la que ahora empieza, de ahí que las eliminatorias se disputen a un partido.
Un año después de la final de la Champions
Por tanto, el Tottenham, como el resto de equipos de las grandes ligas, afronta su debut sin margen de error apenas un año después de disputar la final de la Champions League ante el Liverpool. Mourinho no quiere más sorpresas, tras iniciar la Premier League el domingo perdiendo en casa ante el Everton (0-1), y desplaza a Bulgaria para enfrentarse al Lokomotiv a sus figuras con el goleador Harry Kane a la cabeza. Mientras, en los despachos la directiva de los ‘spurs’ trabaja para cerrar las incorporaciones de Sergio Reguilón y Gareth Bale.
El Milan debuta esta temporada
El Milan, heptacampeón de Europa, ni siquiera ha empezado la temporada, ya que arrancará el lunes la Serie A ante el Bolonia, y disputará su primer partido oficial en esta Europa League visitando en Dublín a un Shamrock Rovers inferior a priori pero que ya ha jugado 11 jornadas de la liga irlandesa y va líder.
Con Ibrahimovic, Brahim y Tonali
El Milan, un histórico que lucha por recuperar su esplendor, vuelve a Europa 644 días después de caer eliminado en diciembre de 2018 en la fase de grupos de este torneo ante Olympiacos. Tras ganar los cuatro amistosos disputados ante rivales asequibles, Stefano Pioli puede contar con Zlatan Ibrahimovic, que se perdió el último ante el Brescia por un golpe sin mayor importancia en la pierna derecha. Son baja Ante Rebic, sancionado y Rafael Leao, en cuarentena tras dar positivo de Covid-19. Brahim Díaz, cedido por el Real Madrid, puede relevar al croata y el también recién llegado Sandro Tonali (Brescia) ha entrado en la lista.
Otros equipos de renombre, a escena
Reims y Wolfsburgo visitan a Servette suizo y Kukesi albanés respectivamente, mientras otros equipos de renombre como Galatasaray o el Rangers de Steven Gerrard se jugarán su continuidad ante Neftçi Bakú, en Azerbaiyán, Lincoln, en Gibraltar.
