The new signing from FC Groningen Bombarda played in the 1st leg against the Austrians who were defeated 1-0 on aggregate. Les Grenats saw off Sporting Lisbon in the next round before being edged out by Newcastle United at St James' Park. Bombarda struggled to adapt to life in France and made only 11 appearances scoring 1 goal for the club before returning to Holland with FC Groningen in mid-October.
