  • Roter Stern Belgrade, featuring Marko Arnautović and Muhammed Cham, was eliminated from the Europa League after losing 1-5 to Viktoria Pilsen in extra time.
  • The Serbian champions failed to defend a 3-0 lead from the first leg of their qualifying match.
  • Despite the elimination, Arnautović and Cham will continue in the Conference League Ligaphase, while FC Inter d'Escaldes made history by reaching a Ligaphase for the first time.

The Europa League dream has ended for Marko Arnautović and Muhammed Cham, as their team, Roter Stern Belgrade, suffered a dramatic defeat against Viktoria Pilsen. Despite holding a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg, the Serbian champions collapsed in the return match, losing 1-5 after extra time.

This stunning reversal means Roter Stern Belgrade misses out on a spot in the Europa League Ligaphase. The team, managed by Albert Riera, could not hold onto their significant advantage, leading to their elimination from the competition.

For Arnautović and Cham, the journey in European club competitions will continue, but in the UEFA Europa Conference League. They will now compete in the Ligaphase of that tournament.

In a contrasting story, FC Inter d'Escaldes, an Andorran club, has written a new chapter in its history by successfully reaching a Ligaphase for the first time. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the club and for Andorran football.
