 The gap between the Champions League and the Europa League is huge.

 

We went from dead last in the former to top of the group, with a terrible team, in the latter.

Showing a gulf in class.

Happy blueflag, in behind enemy lines

Defence done ok but the two cm's were to blame for goals Goldson totally missing a tackle on edge of box and Davies chesting ball down to Betis player instead of heading clear,but what a result.

We play in Scotland.  Playing Motherwell and then Ajax is tricky but we didn't play like we could or should have.

 

The elite leagues/clubs need to sod off and leave competitive football to the rest of us.  It's becoming a farce when clubs like Feyenoord, Crvena Zvezda and Rangers are diddy clubs compared to PSG and Man City.

Thought that was one of our best away performances of all time tonight alongside Dortmund a couple of years ago. 
However important games still lie ahead this month. Don’t forget that. A win on Sunday is essential. And a win at the bheggardome would send a clear message  to all our enemies

Very proud of the team. Finishing top of the group and making the last 16 is a tremendous feat.

I hope beating Celtic will send us to the top of the league

My favourite comment of a truly wonderful evening came post match from Derek McInnes. He was talking over a rerun of our second goal and when big Cyriel turned inside two Betis defenders he said,

 

"Dessers decides to become Archie Gemmill then nutmegs the keeper".

 

It was that kind of night.
