Atlético Amsterdam lost to Madrid Pirates 2:3 at home, followed by the Turin Bulls defeating Catalonia United 2:1 at home.
At this point, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is over.
In these eight games, the Madrid Kings defeated Rotterdam Elite 3:1 away from home. Melli had one goal and one assist in the game. He was an important contributor to the team's ability to defeat their opponents away from home.
Ruerrhein drew 0:0 with Stan Park Rangers at home, and Janus Edman failed to score.
Manchester United defeated Sporting Bordeaux 3-0 in an away game. Although Kabangka did not score in the game, he completed a hat trick of assists and was the number one contributor to the team's win. After the game, he was elected the best of the match.
The match between Paris Eger and Blue-White Munich was very close. In the end, they narrowly defeated Blue-White Munich 3:2 at home. Blue-White Munich forward Becker scored twice and continued to chase Hulay in the scorer list.
Insubre's away game against Valentia was a bit unexpected. The Serie A giants overturned in the away game and lost to Valentia 0:1. However, the difference of one goal behind was not enough to determine the final outcome of the two teams.
Destiny. As long as Insoubre is serious about returning home, I believe there is still a high chance of eliminating Valentia.
Judging from this first round match, Kings of Madrid and Manchester United have the highest hopes of advancing...
The odds of their two teams winning the championship are also the most promising.
At the same time, the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals has also ended.
The teams of Zhou Zijing and Zhang Qinghuan both won the first round, and Zhou Zijing even scored his first goal in the European competition.
This is a European match day that makes countless Chinese fans excited.
Chinese players are blooming in the European arena, and all of them performed well.
Their outstanding performance also made Chinese fans look forward to the next World Cup qualifiers and the second China Cup in June.
Of course, what they are most looking forward to is the World Cup in Spain and Portugal two years later.

"Dillon didn't recruit Hu?"
Just after playing the Champions League match against Atlético Amsterdam, the Madrid Pirates Club received an official letter from their respective national teams regarding player recruitment for the national team match days in March.
As a wealthy team, the team is basically composed of national players, so every national team match day has a great impact on the team.
There is a proper term called "FIFA virus", which refers to the phenomenon of players participating in national team games, affecting their condition, or simply getting injured, which ultimately leads to poor performance when returning to the club and a decline in the performance of the club team.
Wasn’t Maxi Carey injured during the national team match?
Although the national team now has insurance, it will pay compensation to the club where the injured player belongs.
But does the club care about the money?
What they care more about is that all players must participate in national team matches and return to the club in good health.
What surprised Parotti was that this time, other international players were recruited by their national teams, but Hu Lai was not on the call-up list for the Chinese team.
There is one thing in the fax sent by the Chinese Football Association to the Madrid Pirates Club:
Your club player Hu Lai will not be recruited for this national team competition and training camp.
"It's normal. The Chinese team has already qualified for the next stage of qualifying in advance. In these last two qualifying games, there is naturally no need to call all the main players for the game." said the first assistant coach Valentine.
"That's good. Next time we have a game with Samir Sports, let Hu continue. Anyway, he doesn't have to fly tens of thousands of kilometers back to China to participate in the game."
Now Parotti's coaching staff has become accustomed to Hu Lai's super physical recovery ability, coupled with the uneven forward lineup, so even if there are double games a week, Hu Lai does not need to rotate.

After coming to Madrid Pirates, Jule's attendance rate was much higher than when he was at Leeds City. In club competitions, he only missed two Spanish Copa del Rey games.
Previously, considering that the national team required more energy to play, the coaching staff was prepared to let Hu Lai come on as a substitute.
Looking at it now, they don't have to have any scruples and can use Hu Lai with confidence and boldness.
Not only should Hu Lai be allowed, but he should also be allowed to play the entire game.
※※※
Not only Hu Lai, but also Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai were not called up by Dillon. A total of four overseas players can continue to stay in the club team to rest and adjust.
Since Wang Guangwei did not participate in the European competition, he had to return to China to participate in the competition.
He doesn't have any physical problems, but he needs to play as many games as possible.
Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing, who also finished playing in the European competition, were unable to stay in the club and were recruited into the Olympic team.
The Olympic team also has two warm-up matches on this national team match day.
The Olympic Games will be this summer, and preparations for the Olympic team are in full swing.
At such a critical moment, as the absolute main force and even the core of the team, the two of them cannot be absent.
Even if the journey is tiring, even if the physical exertion of double matches in the past week is very high, you must grit your teeth and persevere.

On February 26th, Saturday, the 27th round of La Liga, Madrid Pirates challenged Samirspor away.
This league, sandwiched between the Champions League and national team competitions, is destined to be embarrassing.
Except for Hulay, all Parotti used were substitutes.
Not every player has Hu Lai's abnormal physical recovery ability. Most of the main players who participated in the Champions League games are very tired.
Parotti didn't dare to let them go.
So it is not surprising that Madrid Pirates lost 1:2 to Samirspor in the away game...
Hu Lai came on the field and played the entire game, scoring the only goal for the team, which somewhat saved some face.
Fortunately, one of the direct competitors, Catalonia United, also overturned in this round of the league. They lost to Real Steele 0:1 away from home.
Only the Madrid Kings performed stably, and they defeated Turias 3:0 at home.
However, the Madrid Kings were not affected by the Champions League. Their Champions League quarter-finals were played in the middle of last week and had nothing to do with this weekend's league. What was affected was the derby match between the Madrid Kings and Madrid Pirates last weekend.
Lost away game.
So actually no one escaped.
After this round of league, the order of the top three in the league has changed slightly:
Madrid Pirates still ranked first with 69 points, but the second place in the league was changed from Catalonia to Madrid Kings. With the victory against Turias, Madrid Kings ranked second with 68 points.
Catalonia lost, falling to third place in the league, with 66 points.
Madrid Pirates' lead has shrunk from the previous three points to one point. As the league enters the final sprint, the competition for the championship is becoming increasingly fierce.
On the contrary, there is a clear gap between the fourth place and the top three in the league, which fully reflects the difference between the "Western Super League" and "La Liga":
Fourth-placed Sporting Vizcaya has 51 points, 13 points ahead of fifth-placed Real Catalonia, but they are also 15 points behind third-placed Catalonia.
It can be said that every team has different joys and sorrows.
The main goal of Sporting Vizcaya in the remaining eleven rounds of the league is to maintain fourth place and strive to qualify for next season's Champions League. As for the league championship? They won't even think about it, because thinking about it is a waste of energy.
Meaningless behavior.
On the one hand, fifth-placed Real Catharine needs to compete for Champions League qualifications, and on the other hand, they must prevent losing their European qualifications (European qualifications include qualifications for the Champions League and Europa League).
As for the league championship, that is the goal of the top three competition in the Western Premier League, and it has nothing to do with the remaining 17 teams.
There is no "miracle for the common people" like Leeds City's victory in La Liga. Since entering the 21st century, no team outside the top three of the Spanish Super League has ever won the league championship.
Of course, it may also be because the key figure in the miracle of common people is now in a wealthy family...
La Liga is not as relatively even in strength as the Premier League, but it does not mean that the competition for the La Liga championship will be less difficult than in the Premier League.
It's just a change from six teams to three teams, and the intensity of competition has not weakened.
Because although the quantity of the three Western Premier League heroes is not as good as that of the Premier League, their quality is even better.
The three teams in La Liga are all teams that have proven themselves in the European arena and created dynasties. They are true giants.
The only teams in the Premier League G6 that can be on the same level as the three Western Premier League heroes are Stan Park Rangers and Tramed before their collapse.
The background of other teams is slightly worse.
For example, Warships Harbor, North London Wanderers and Manchester Athletic have never even won the Champions League.
Although London Bridge won the Champions League, it was only after entering the new century, and their reputation was not prominent before.
The so-called forcing G6 is actually just the six strong teams that have been hyped by the media in the past 20 to 30 years. It does not mean that they are really strong.
The overall average of the Premier League is because the gap between the forced G6 and the other fourteen teams is not large enough. This can be regarded as the other fourteen teams are not weak, or it can be considered as the forced G6 is not strong enough... Completely
See how people with different views interpret it.
There are now eleven rounds left in La Liga, and there is also the Champions League in between. The three top teams in La Liga also have Champions League games. Judging from the first round, they may not be eliminated early.
There is only three points between third place and first place. It is hard to say where these three teams will be in the final round of the league.
