Rangers and Fenerbahce Knocked Out of Champions League
Rangers were eliminated from the Champions League after a 2-0 defeat to Dynamo Kyiv in the second leg of the third qualifying round. The loss was compounded by a controversial second yellow card given to Rangers’ defender Jefte, leading to late goals from Dynamo substitutes Oleksandr Pikhalonok and Nazar Voloshyn. Rangers coach Philippe Clement criticized the referee’s decision, noting its significant impact on the team’s performance and finances. Dynamo Kyiv advanced with a 3-1 aggregate and will face Salzburg in the next round.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce was also knocked out, losing to Lille 3-2 on aggregate. Lille secured their spot with a penalty from Jonathan David after a dramatic extra time. Fenerbahce had lost the first leg 2-1 but managed to force extra time with a late own goal. Lille’s next opponents will be Slavia Prague, who defeated Union Saint-Gilloise. Other notable results include Slovan Bratislava’s win over APOEL Nicosia and Bodo/Glimt’s aggregate victory over Jagiellonia Bialystok. Malmo overcame PAOK in a thrilling tie, while Qarabag achieved a stunning win over Ludogorets with a remarkable 8-4 aggregate score.

“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
