  1. 'We played for our supporters'published at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2019

    Arsenal 3-0 Bate Borisov (3-1 Agg)

    Arsenal

    Arsenal manager Unai Emery on BT Sport: "We wanted this result but also we wanted to play for our supporters here, to improve and build our mentality after first match away, which was not good. We did our best to come back (in the tie) and the team worked very well.

    "But we also had to take precautions because if they scored they can be back in the match. Our message was if we score, carry on. If we scored two, carry on. Carry on and carry on. We needed two, three or four goals for more precaution in the 90 minutes.

    "The players did our game plan as we wanted and they arrived in the box a lot with a lot of crosses. And we showed the efficiency we went, which we didn't have away."

    Chelsea 0-0 Malmo (2-1 Agg)

    The Malmo fans are making all the noise as the visitors do well to hassle and harry the Chelsea backline into an error. Amor Ingvi Traustason then swings a boot at a speculative shot from 20-odd yards and puts is wide.

    I've been impressed with Malmo over the 100 minutes of this tie so far.

    Chelsea 0-0 Malmo (2-1 Agg)

    Mistake from Mateo Kovacic, he passes straight to a Malmo attacker but that man N'Golo Kante gets back to win it back. Great play. The number seven then piles up on the overlap and crosses for Olivier Giroud to head wide.

    The biggest cheer when the teams were read out was for Callum Hudson-Odoi. But for Chelsea fans thinking Maurizio Sarri has taken all fans' criticisms on board, Mateo Kovacic is preferred to N'Golo Kante in the deep-lying midfielder role. As you were.

    Chelsea 0-0 Malmo (2-1 Agg)

    Malmo have to score at least twice tonight, Chelsea would go through even with a 1-0 defeat. The Swedes win a free-kick out on the left but it's headed clear. In it comes again though and that's not a bad header, Rasmus Bengtsson beats Olivier Giroud to it and flashes it wide.

    Rosler pumped, Sarri steaming...

  6. 'We have to believe'published at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2019

    Arsenal 3-0 Bate Borisov (3-1 Agg)

    Arsenal

    Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi on BT Sport: "Playing at home is different when you lose the first leg 1-0 away. We knew to had to score but at the same time not concede, and we managed it well.

    "We started well and wanted to play forward. We had a lot of opportunities and the goals came from set-pieces, which is something we work on so it's good that it pays off.

    "We're trying to produce on the pitch what we're doing on the training ground and the manager encourages us to stick with our style of play. We have to believe in ourselves and it will pay off."

    On Laurent Koscielny's injury: "I hope it's nothing serious. He had a smile on his face when he came off."

    As you were - N'Golo Kante is playing where he has played all season, to the right of the deepest midfielder, who tonight is Mateo Kovacic...

    If Maurizio Sarri was hoping that facing a Swedish team might help avoid chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning," as per the Manchester United fans last Monday, then I'm sorry to break it to him; the Malmo fans are already showing off their grasp of the more vulgar parts of the English language with some choice words for their hosts.

    Here come the sides, a pretty full house by the looks of it. Chelsea will be hoping that they keep the natives onside for longer than they managed on Monday night.

    The Malmo fans were excellent value last week and there are loads of them in again.

  13. Valencia a Europa League teampublished at 19:50 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2019

    FT: Valencia 1-0 Celtic (agg 3-0)

    Quote Message

    For all that Valencia are a decent team, they haven't really cut Celtic up. You would expect them - a top Spanish team, an extra player on the pitch at home - to really go at Celtic. But I don't think they're cut out for that. I think that's probably why they're in this Europa League rather than in the Champions League. They just haven't got the ammunition up front

  14. Sarri clinging on?published at 19:47 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2019

    Chelsea v Malmo (2-1 Agg, 20:00 GMT)

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer

    Chelsea managers are wise not to book in for the long haul, even Premier League and Champions League winners, so it goes without saying that Maurizio Sarri is a man clinging to his job in these reduced and struggling circumstances.

    The rot was exposed by the 4-0 loss at Bournemouth and the 6-0 humiliation at Manchester City - their heaviest defeat for 28 years - but on Monday night they were embarrassed in their own home. And how the fans let Sarri know it as they loudly registered their disapproval.

    Celtic had 10 men for an hour and always had too much of a job on their hands tonight.

    Peter: The whole Europa League idea totally bought into the latteryear Wenger philosophy. Nowhere good enough to win the league, struggle to qualify for the CL as an also-ran, settle for a downgraded competition + show adequacy.

    Paul: Sven Mislintat was key to us getting Aubameyang, not Mikhtaryan. Guy is bang average as well.
