The "Devils" want a trophy, Dinamo is still dreaming

And the second European club competition, the Europa League, is entering the final stage - tonight, all the first quarter-final matches are on the program. And the rivals guarantee attractive duels - Ajax will host Roma, hot Villarreal will arrive at Maksimir, Slavia Prague will visit Arsenal and Manchester United will go "to the feet" of Granada.

- Manchester United is a club built on trophies and it is our duty to try and do our best to win the trophy. All our thoughts are focused on that, unfortunately we didn't manage to go all the way in the League Cup, because we lost in the semi-finals against Manchester City and we are unhappy about that. It is our obligation to play in the finals and win them - said the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes, United's best player in the current season.

Granada is in decline compared to the 1/16 final when they shocked Napoli. The representative of La Liga is in a series of three defeats, but the motive will be their trump card, because a big club is coming. And weakened by not playing Martial, Jones and Bailey, while the performances of Rashford and Mata are also questionable.

Dinamo showed against Totehem that they did not reach the final by accident. At Maksimir, after a 2:0 defeat in London, the people of Zagreb managed to take the game into overtime and deservedly beat Jose Mourinho's team in one of the most impressive games in the club's history. However, Villarreal will be the favorite, because the "yellow submarine" is in great shape and has a streak of five victories. However, the "Blues" are relying on the great form of Mislav Oršić, the scorer of a hat-trick against Tottenham, especially since Villarreal's most dangerous player, Đerar Moreno, likes to play on the side covered by Oršić.

The derby is played at the "Kopljanika" stadium, where Ajax wants to take advantage of all Roma's injury problems before the rematch at "Olympic". Despite their illustrious history, the two clubs have only met once in the Champions League group stage and Ajax were more successful with a draw and a win 17 years ago.

Of special interest is the return of Slavia Prague to the Island and the visit of Arsenal. The reasons are not football-related, but because of the accusations made by Finnish dark-skinned Rangers player Kamara that he was racially abused by Rangers defender Ondrzej Kudela in the Czech team's win in Glasgow recently. Kudela received a match suspension, and he faces 10 if the UEFA investigation shows that he really insulted Kamara. Nevertheless, Slavija accused the media in Britain of the procedure and requested footage from the corridor of the dressing room to prove that Kamara punched Kudela in the presence of coach Steven Gerrard. However, the recording has disappeared.

- Kudela is just a victim of xenophobia and prejudice that some interested parties and the British media spread towards people from Central and Eastern Europe. We are cooperating with Uefa and the Scottish police, but the evidence has disappeared - said Slavia president Jaroslav Tvrdik.

It won't be easy for his team, because for the Gunners, winning the Europa League is the only way to qualify for the Champions League.
