Luzern come up short in Europe
0‑1 away to the standard of FCSB. Nobody will pretend this was a scandal; the gap is real, it is measurable, and closing it is a project rather than a team talk.

Adrian Grbić could have had three

In brief
- Squad The team sheet said everything about Tyron Owusu
- Squad Adrian Grbić named in the team of the month
- Squad No hiding place for Severin Ottiger
