In the Europa League in 2010, Mesut Özil’s Werder Bremen met David Silva’s Valencia in the round of 16 in what became an all-time classic tie. After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, the sides played out a 4-4 draw with Silva recording 3 assists and Özil setting up the late equaliser. With the likes of David Villa, Juan Mata, Per Mertesacker and Jordi Alba also on the pitch it’s one of the most talented matches at that stage of the competition. Valencia progressed by the away goals rules but went out in the next round to Sergio Aguero and Diego Forlan’s Atlético Madrid. Both players joined bigger clubs after the World Cup that summer with Ozil joining Real Madrid and Silva going to Manchester City. #footballstories #footballtiktok
