OK, I really could care less about the Europa-liga, which has been so watered down to be basically useless. Basically it’s a bunch of glorified friendlies where you can pick up some extra cash.

But the Bundesliga clubs did decently this round. Gladbach (2-0 over Marseille), Leverkusen (4-0 at Rapid Wien), Hannover (2-1 at Helsingborg) got wins. Only Stuttgart (0-0 against Kopenhagen) sucked.
