Road to ?? League - Season 5

b2931b609f0291b68e29756902d7cd36.png
After Salzburg we beated Legia(nr 74 Europe) from Poland. They are also bigger but Mr Europe Boro did it again ! After this qualification we are certain of another Europa League Groupstage.. but it could be more if we beat Dinamo Zagreb (nr 53 in Europe) in the final Play-offs for Champions League.

First Leg:

We played great and deserved to win against a team that has a great history . We are very close to reach another big objective !

Our win against As Roma in the first season was bigger but this feels great. They are a very big club and we... aren't ! Now we have to wait and see what we can do in the return.

We did it ! We have a chance against Legia (we won against them in 2021) and after this we could play the final qualification for the Champions league against Zagreb or Tel Aviv.

We were out.. i tried to adapt my 4 3 3 to a 3 4 3 and used legend Juanfri

Juanfri did it ! now we have to survive 5 more minutes.

Champions League - Game 1 -Season 5

Our very first Champions league game at Arsenal, i don't care about the result.

3a79c680ec63f93e3b085f6fcfbca304.png

They missed a penalty and we survived the first half.

Mr Europe Boro scores from our first chance.. whaaat ?

:idiot:

One more miracle ! Arsenal pay 146m a season for their players, we pay 866k :o  e6c371c44569cdcc3c6fe8d40f3c93f6.png

Syrett 21 called up for the senior team is a big suprise. He isn't a first team'er yet . He is my first real academy player to get a senior cap (he played 33 minutes against Moldova).

Champions League - Game 2 - Season 5

La Vecchia Signora arrived at the rock.

They dominated us.

Now we'll play two times against Hertha . They lost against Juventus and Arsenal but they are a very big side.

Champions League - Game 3 - Season 5

Hertha with Toni Kroos, Sow 41.5m, Pavon 39m, Adeyemi 54m , not that optimistic to get something from germany but we have to try and enjoy :)

We missed our Borge YT up front , Spanish veteran Juanfri will lead the line.

01e0eab6ab84aba2c2d456a453c41d7c.png
We scored two, that is the only good thing about this game . 

62f8ff1c9f6cc24fcfe8b5f9948e0238.png
If we want to play in Europa after the winter break, we'll have to win at home against Hertha.

Champions League - Game 4 - Season 5

d920feba88159be607c81a3c643c4f46.png
A really good first half, we had the possession and two balls cleared of the line.

41a0b7e21b706ee0fa0c5419abb05456.png
Borge YT scored a great goal .. can we do it again ?

0f003d8eb6fcdd00f834ce5153605d2f.png
We enjoyed our lead for one minute.

a97d80d88fe0322a131a27dec714710d.png
At first it seems logic that we almost got something against Hertha after we won at Arsenal but.. if we see the above details, it was almost a new miracle..

Our Home game against Arsenal is an important one...

First preview with a positive conclusion 'optimistic'. The others had most of the time 'don't expect much'.

A good wide midfielder is welcome.

Champions League - Game 5 - Season 5

If get a draw of win against Arsenal, we have a good chance of finishing third.

cd6b382cd813674b485ffb8453b4879e.png

We almost did it but Almada scored in injury time :( we could have got something against Arsenal, against Hertha but we didn't. Now i have a nice game at Juventus , just for fun because we can't finish third of second anymore.

Not our best intake, with maybe two or three prospects. The preview looked good, the intake isn't.

Key players

OliveroPlayer of the season in Gibraltar with many assists.

AnnesleySolid as a rock part 1 in our central defense.

BrittoSolid as a rock part 2.

RobbaOur goalkeeper in the top four means he had a great run in Europe !

Boro should be in this list. He scored 20 in 29 apps at the age of 33 . Mr Europe will remain in the first eleven.

Saw this in our club vision 5 year plan.. 

Improving again our Youth & Training Facilities. The cost for the upgrades are getting higher but that is normal.

Manager's thoughts

Another excellent season domestically. Very happy in Europe with reaching the champions league and our victory at Arsenal. We competed well against every opponent and that gives us courage for the future. In theory, the squad will not change. Nobody is quitting or has to leave and the current youth players will stay in the first team and get some games.

Making some great progress at the moment! Has it been ‘easier’ than you thought to get to this stage?

Yes indeed, of course that unexpected qualification for Europa league in the first year helped enormously and accelerated everything. I am now also very happy with a new impulse for my save with the future stadium.
I expected group stage Conference or Europa league after a decade but now I expect it the other way around.
I now benefit from the best remaining NOT Gibraltarians (some Spanish) combined with all the good (I couldn't get two so far) real players from Gibraltar and the better regens. But if in time all the real players disappear from my team, will the level of the regens from Gibraltar be insufficient to get into Europe? Maybe even to become champions every year? I worry about that a bit.

Europa FC and Lincoln get a certain amount from me every year for some of their talents. They use that money, amongst other things, to take former youth players from Championship teams or Spanish teams (for free) and give them a good contract. I could benefit from this because those Englishmen or Spaniards sometimes become Gibraltarians after three years.

They are definitely competition for me and as soon as I play with eleven guys from Gibraltar, the difference will become even smaller.

Legend - retirement- End Season 5

29a99317f8637396346c4e8a0022df94.png
Borge YT took over from Juanfri since two seasons ago but he was one of two legends that gave me Europa League in the first season and a lot of goals in the first seasons.

One more objective reached (League Rep.) but this could drop again so i have to keep improving it (together with the other teams).

National team Gibraltar - results 

After 5 season it is time for some recap. This are the results from Gibraltar. I hope the senior team starts winning some games soon.

Senior team:

Pre-season - Season 6 - 2025/2026

9a26a322432513195e45aaa02bd5f96a.png
We are still in the Champions league qualifications after a crazy game in Riga. Next opponent is Flora Tallinn.

First Eleven

10eefafbc07ba5843c70d52f0a511f3d.png
Same first eleven as last season.

25ed5f268d3bc5d1af274aacc61e2dbb.png

We are playing this system from day one, only changing the mentality during the games.

Transfers in

dd88e57539fa9fb96030f53330ef41a0.png

Signed two regens.

Majewski was free after playing a few years for Lincoln, he already had one cap so i'm giving him a chance in my U23 team. Lewis YT has a good personality and i haven't got many options for our DL position.

6f894728fb3af3212dc95e35b5a0ea37.png
Transfers out
Only youth players that are getting a loan period at first division teams and Juanfri that retired.

Staff changes

Extended all the contract, only changed one or two coaches. I'll update this later in a seperate post.

Manager thoughts

The entire first team has stayed except for experienced striker Juanfri. I hope to reach another group stage of a European competition. And to get more news about my future stadium.

Road to Europe - Season 6

37fb486cec5158a8a0741fcb1a31d9c9.png
Again we reached the final playoff game in the Champions league qualifiers . This time we couldn't beat Dinamo to reach the group stage. Europa League Group stage it is !

8f3d8194bc545de60977c34debc4f105.png

Hard but not impossible to reach the third place and go into the Conference league.

Our 6th season in Europe: 3 times Europa League Group stage, 2 times Conference league, one time Champions league. Proud Blues !
