Despite the issues with this game, I am having a blast. I am playing my 4th season with Hamburger SV and so far it has gone better than I could have imagined. We have been 2nd or 3rd for most of the season in the Bundesliga and the Europa League has given us a lot of favorable matchups... Until the quarter final where we met with PSG.
They had underperformed in the champions finishing 3rd in their group but have been killing it in ligue 1 tying 2 of their 30ish games and winning the rest.
On the first leg we are playing at Paris. They go up quick 2-0 in the first 25 min as I am atonished by Mbappe and their 4-2-4. We responded in the 38th with a counter attack and the momentum turned our way the next 30 mins was all us until finally we were able to tie it in the 72nd minute with a 1 on 1 from Marvin Mehlem. We immediately went defensive as we had the tie with two away goals and I thought I'd get away with it until Neymar came in the 80th minute and scored the winner in the 88th.
Rested everyone in the Bundesliga Game as we have control of a top 4 spot but it was still a bet that we wouldn't f it up. We tied out game keeping us 10 points ahead of 5th with 5 games to go.
On the second leg of the Europa League we are playing at home and I set up my team for constant pressure knowing that the latest patch might screw me over since it depletes stamina so fast. MEHLEM was on fire! Barely missed 3 attempts before scoring a screamer in the 22nd. I went back to my balance-possesion combo and had a couple more chances before Andres silva tied it up for them in the 35th with a remote breaking type of goal. After that I made some changes and brought in Bakery Jatta to push the wings and it worked as we scored by header from one of his crossers. The last 20 minutes saw PSG shoot 8 times without scoring and us going through by away goals. Out path to the europa league cup looks a lot clearer now that we are pass one of europe's giants. Now we meet Fiorentina un the semi and will have a potential final clash with either Everton or Chelsea.
Sorry for the long post but I have never been so intensely stressed by fifa as this career mode had made me lol
