Sparta out of Europa League after 1:6 loss against Liverpool

Sparta Prague lost 1:6 away against Liverpool in Thursday night's second leg of the round of 16 Europa League game, European football’s second-tier club competition. The Prague team have thus been eliminated from the tournament. The Czech title-holders had already lost the first leg 1:5 in Prague last week, so their chances of advancing to the quarter-finals were already considered to be extremely low.
