A two-to-one victory in the first leg away allows hosts Plzen to look forward to the return match against Sheriff with some optimism. It would be the first time for the team from the Czech Republic to make it to the group stage of the next Champions League. It would be a historic goal, one that cannot be missed, especially after what was seen in the match a week ago.
Of course, against Sheriff one cannot sleep soundly. Last year, the visitors managed to pull off the feat at the Bernabeu in the group stage, defeating the team that eventually took home the trophy. This time, however, a real miracle is needed, because overturning the result looks very difficult. In fact, it is too important for Plzen to succeed. And at this point, with an important victory taken in the away match, nobody wants to think of not making it into the group stage for the first time in their history. There will also be a big crowd: no Czech fan wants to miss this chance.
