Lol, wouldn't trust Albanian clubs. It's weird though how much money both of these clubs spend compared to other Albanian teams only to underperform in Europe year after year.

It’s also something weird to brag about since it’s something that a team shouldn’t do regardless. And if we’re being honest they’ve definitely done some match fixing. The owner of Tirana would have his amateur son start over a talented player like Muci, you’re telling me this guy is full of integrity or Partizani who is run by the brother of Edi Rama? Or the shady transfers Tirana made by selling players to mid club Ukrainian clubs who are in the middle of a war?

Partizani tied it up so far. I just admit they’ve looked good today and have created a few chances

Partizani choked as usual. Ballkani will be the only Albanian team playing in Europe.

Their finishing is terrible. Selling Skuka was a mistake. If they qualified for the ECL group stage they would have received another 1.5M in prize money, a lot more than what they got for him.

Rrapaj has some talent & pace to him but in the final third his decision making and finishing was just bad. Some poor defending by the macedonian left back back and Marcelino Preka (thought this dude was brazillian judging by his first name lol)

As for Skuka lets be real, he's no better than the random african striker they had. They robbed that French club. Their mistake was not investing some of that money in the club. Partizani like all of the Albanian squads have no vision and just collect random players.

Yeah agreed Skuka is not great but still better than what they have tbh. Their finishing was atrocious.

There is no shame losing to Astana but they should have won their tie against Bate Borisov. It worked out great for Ballkani in the end lol

That probably turned out for the best. At least they managed to farm 4 wins and coefficient points against amateur opposition, whereas BATE got shafted by Aris, Sheriff and Ballkani.

Yeah good point when you look it that way.

KF Ballkani up 2 - 0 to Zagreb. Such a solid team defensively and a well coached team

Ballkani has a good chance to qualify to the next round from this group
