Nübel started for Stuttgart away to AS Roma in the Europa League on Thursday. He had two saves in the first half and conceded one goal to go down 1-0 at halftime. In the second half, he did not face another shot on goal until he conceded a second goal late in stoppage time to put Stuttgart's comeback chances away. Their attack could not help Nübel out, and they fell 2-0.

In fact, sat rock-bottom of the group stage table and becoming somewhat of a laughing stock from across the continent, Claude Puel's men have astonishingly failed to put a single point on the board during this year's tournament. With their knockout stage dreams already going up in smoke prior to opening 2026, Nice have remarkably lost all of their six Europa League appearances this season by an aggregate score of 13-4.

Starting with the hosts, while Stuttgart might have endured a stuttering start to proceedings when opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Die Roten have certainly turned a real corner on either side of opening the New Year. Getting 2026 underway with a major Bundesliga scalp as they stormed their way to an empathic 4-1 romp away at former champions Bayer Leverkusen, Sebastian Hoeneb's camp will be dreaming of a repeat display here.

Maccabi Tel Aviv have been given a suspended one-match away fan ban from Uefa for "racist and/or discriminatory behaviour" by it supporters during last week's Europa League game at German side Stuttgart. The Israeli club, whose supporters were barred from attending an away match at Aston Villa in November because of safety concerns, were also fined 20,000 euros (17,550) for their fans' conduct during the fixture on 11 December.

He is a really good manager I still really like him. I don't know how it all went down behind the scenes, winning the Europa League then getting sacked. I didn't expect Ange to be sacked. There were a lot of rumours, and everyone was on Ange, like the media there was not a day I was scrolling on my phone and saw nothing about our gaffer. There was always something about him added the 24-year-old.
