@samtalksfootball28: 18 March 2010. Werder Bremen, coached by Thomas Schaaf, had been one of the Europa League’s most prolific sides and were coming off a 1–1 draw at the Mestalla. Valencia, managed by Unai Emery, arrived with David Villa, David Silva and a 21-year-old Juan Mata, while Bremen had Mesut Özil, Marko Marin and Claudio Pizarro. Villa had just returned from a shoulder problem. Silva was months away from joining Manchester City. Özil was months away from becoming a World Cup breakout star. Even the first leg had already set the tone, with Valencia losing Éver Banega to a red card and Pablo Hernández suspended for the return. What followed at the Weserstadion became one of the defining Europa League nights of the era. Villa called it the craziest game he had ever played. Valencia survived 4–4 and progressed on away goals, before eventually being eliminated by Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals. That summer, Villa and Silva left for Barcelona and Manchester City respectively, while Özil’s World Cup changed his career forever. #werderbremen #valenciacf #europaleague #davidsilva #mesutozil

J :

this feels like the last era in European football where clubs like Valencia had serious teams. After this the oil money clubs started pinching their best players

Tammio Hofmann :

The level of pre/fully unknown quality on display in this game

Shogun :

Bremen also have Per Mertesacker and naldo as CB pairing

Cian :

Silva, Villa and Mata in the same team, disgusting

Matteo Pace205 :

Pizarro...what a player

user7453311198084 :

Crazy how many shots on target there were, in today’s game that rarely happens. Not saying there are no high scoring games but it’s kinda like they are more efficient. Less shots from distance as well.
