With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!
Tirana lost their defensive “star” and long time captain who came through their ranks to a mid table Romanian team on a free transfer. In no world should this happen and thats all you need to know about the quality of Tirana and the Superliga in general.
Partizani will probably squeak by the random Georgian club and maybe Laci will beat the village club from Montenegro. These aren’t accomplishments and it’s actually sad they can barely get by these clubs.

What's crazy is how much they overestimate themselves and euphoric they are. This includes Tirana, the media, the "analysts" who think their league is good. It's unthinkable to them that the Luxembourg league is a level above even though all stats prove it. They think Dudelange beating them is some upset.. In the first leg they were blaming it on the stadium, smaller pitch and weather conditions...
The fact that they are looking to sell Seferi (a player who's not good enough for Swiss league) for 1 million is another example of this. They live in an alternative universe.
Laci is the best Albanian team in Europe for the second year in a row. They lost their whole midfield(Shehu, Lushkja, Deliu) which was their biggest strength but they still manage to make it respectable. They'll probably get eliminated in the next round because it's beyond their capacity but they deserve respect for sure.
Partizani continues their long tradition of being the disgrace of Albania. They were actually lucky it went to penalties because the Georgian team was much superior technically. But hey I forgot...Skenderbeu is their problem!!!
(Tbf it was probably the best case scenario because Steaua in the next round would've been ugly)
After today's round, the Albanian league sees itself ranked as the 49th European league out of 55 in total. 1 position below and they will go from 4 to 3 European spots. Say what you want about Skënderbeu but these levels are unprecedented.

Laci will face Petrocub, some random Moldovan team and is the seeded team this round too. I’m expecting Laci to pass this round too. Then third round will depend on the luck of the draw.
