• Europa League.All crosses

Given the sensations that Spanish football is offering in Europe, it is appropriate to start by highlighting as great news that both Granada and Villarreal have achieved this Thursday the pass to the second round of the Europa League, taking advantage of their victories in the first leg matches from last week.

Both went through difficulties at certain moments of their matches, but they sealed a pass that was almost mandatory for

Emery's men

and historic for

Diego Martínez's team

.

Granada, in the first European participation in its history, continues to surpass itself, already among the 16 best in the competition.

His defeat at Diego Armando Maradona was irrelevant, after the 2-0 achieved a week ago at Los Cármenes.

The negative reversal of the classification came in the form of injuries, a total of four.

Machís

fell in the warm-up and could not even start the game.

Gonalons and Neva

had to request the change just before the break.

And finally,

Germán

limped off 10 minutes after the restart.

Initial scare

Zielinski's

goal after

three minutes, a kick from the edge after a long drive, made Diego Martínez's men fear the worst.

But Granada did not allow the unforeseen early starter to distract them and maintained their composure until the draw, the work of

Montoro

with an exquisite header from the penalty spot.

Then came the injury carousel, which inevitably upset the team.

Fabián Ruiz

reduced distances at the beginning of the second half, but Napoli never offered the feeling of being able to achieve the four goals that, at the very least, they needed, resigning himself to Granada winning the tie with a 2-3 between the two games.

Villarreal also got a good scare after the 0-2 harvested a week ago in Austria.

A serious error by

Rulli

in the ball exit led to the Salzburg goal after the quarter of an hour, the work of

Berisha

after

Daka's

anticipation

.

The initial half hour for Emery's men was terrible and they were lucky not to concede another goal.

Gerard Moreno

, who else, was the one who kept calm.

He tied the match at the end of the first half and almost in the discount of the match forced a penalty that he transformed himself so that Villarreal achieved victory and also the classification by a total result of 4-1.
