Europa League draw

Re: Re: Europa League draw

If you look at Porto's points tally from last year it includes 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw right through the comp. Then various bonus points for progressing through the stages, then the country co-efficient.

You know what? That's not what it says on the UEFA web-site but I think you're right as it's the only way I can get to 28 points. They won 5 and drew 1 of the group stage games, giving them 11 points then won 7 of their nine knock-out games giving them 14 and a total of 25. They also got 3 bonus points (although I thought it should have been 4).

Apology accepted Colin. ;-)

Ps good luck tomorrow. I'll be listening.

Could be a long day in front of your radio Sam. I'm not on till Sunday!

And moomba is spot on as I've found a UEFA document that confirms it's 2 points for a win and one for a draw from the group stages onwards then 1 bonus point for getting to each of the quarters, semis and the final.

So if we win all four of our R32 & R16 games, then W1 D1 in the last 8 and W1 L1 in the semis to go out, we'll still get 15 more points. That might just be enough for Pot 2 next season which is a good enough reason in itself to take the competition seriously.

Would love a trip to Lisbon in March.
