⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

Home advantage also means nothing with empty stadiums:)

Honestly, I think that in today's high-level football, like this one, that factor is less and less important.
We are talking about professional players, who are already used to playing on this type of stage, and they can, for the most part, withstand that pressure with some ease.

Tell that to supporters of clubs like Liverpool or Real Betis or Flamengo,,, these clubs all play at the highest level of football and especially even at intercontinent tournaments they are forced to play at neutral grounds because their home fans are such at advantage. So Home Advantage is a real thing for some clubs, and gone now with Covid. Trust me,,, if you attend matches and watch you can see teams play so different. It is not just pressure it is motivation!

To be able to beat Villarreal, Arsenal must play to their best performance, because most likely, Villarreal will play defensively (the team that has earned points will tend to play very defensively, especially if they are guests). So when the match starts, Arsenal must score goals as quickly as possible, because the longer it takes to score a goal will make Arsenal even more depressed.

Villareal cannot play defensive football away at the Emirates stadium; they need to score an away goal to keep them in the tie, because if they lose 1 nil; they are out. Arsenal has a good performance after going a man down; can they replicate such performances at home ? Emery will also play to limit space and get an early goal. I think a 1-1 draw in London would only be fair

Yes, Arsenal's winning percentage is indeed greater than Villarreal, teams from the Premier league are usually hard to beat especially when playing at home
What Arsenal need to do in maintaining the defense so as not to concede because they are already superior on away goals. and of course shouldn't make the same mistake 'red card '

Arsenal must play with their full power to reach the final, yeah.  Lacazette's condition is doubtful but Aubameyang is back. And it means that they will be much powerful on their attacking line. I expect a tough game in the rematch as well. But I believe that Arsenal will be the victorious side at the end.

So the defensive game is aimed at ending the match with a score draw or 0-0, because then Villarreal will still qualify. I'm sure Villarreal won't keep trying to score goals but if there is a chance why not. So yes, the match will continue to be tense for both teams and I still believe Villarreal will be able to qualify at this opportunity however, Arsenal still have the chance to finally make the Final for the English team.

I think it will be the most exciting match of the night. Because we all know that Manchester Utd - Roma draw is already over.    As Villarreal are a very hard opponent, Arsenal should put a much bigger effort in the match to be able to advance to the final. And I think they have the strength to do it. As long as they play an attacking football and have the control of the match, they can make it to the final.

For MU vs AS Roma, I am sure that 90% MU will advance to the Final. maybe this match was not so impressive at the end, even though MU won big scores once again. Unless there is a surprise from Roma that can beat MU dramatically, maybe with 5-0 

This match will be very different from the Villareal vs Arsenal match, where both of them still have the same opportunity, even though Villareal has a chance to qualify for the final. However, with only 1 goal difference, Arsenal is still very likely to be able to score 1 additional goal to qualify for the final, with a terms Villareal was unable to score a goal at the Emirate stadium.

This is a game that is not worth playing to be honest. The biggest headline of the day is that Mourinho takes the spot of the manager. Does he think he can turn Roma ito another Inter of its old days?

[Iranus]

What are you thinking about the Manchester United match? I think Manchester United will win this match, and I guess Manchester United will win this match by 3-1 goals. Roma is not enough stable team. In the previous match also, they have lost 2-0 against Sampdoria. Today, I will bet on Manchester United's victory.

[ropyu1978]

In the first leg the arsenal was narrowly defeated, the arsenal could have reversed the situation when entertaining the villareal, as long as you can play well at home, if Manchester United can be sure to advance to the final ... This year the British team will become king of Europe, predictions, mechester. United European Champion, Manchester City
Champion uefa champion ...

My guess is that Villarreal will be able to beat Arsenal again in today's match. Arsenal have not been able to play very well in the previous match. They scored the only goal from the penalty spot. On the other hand, Manchester United won the previous match against Roma by a huge margin of 6-2 goals. So at the moment I don't think there is any obstacle for them to go to the final and I think Manchester United will win today's match too.

It will be great history if As Roma is able to win 5-0 at home. The media will make it hot news on the firts page. But I agree with you, they seem like they can't. Maybe they can win but not 5-0. MU is superior in quality. I am sure MU will go to the final of the European league this season, even I have championed MU.

If Roma score 5 goals against Man United, with no answer, I think it would be a historic achievement.
Man United are very strong this season. It is even a wonder how it is at so many points in Man City, in PL.

I don't think it's possible. Roma is a good team. But they are not so strong that they will score 5/6 goals against a team like Manchester United. And even if Roma scored 5 goals, Manchester City would be able to score at least 3 goals. If no miracle happens, there is no hope of Roma reaching the final.

I think there is no way that Roma will score that many goals against Manchester Utd in the rematch.    But yeah, it would be historic surely. However, I don't think that Roma have the power needed to eliminate Manchester Utd while being in such very disadvantageous condition.

Manchester United has 1 thing to focus on which is the Europa League. There is no way that we are going to win the Premier League again so Europa League would be the main focus for now. Its impossible to even score 5 goals against Manchester United, if you take a look at Roma's recent matches so far then you would notice that AS Roma hasnt win in the last 6 matches while United keep dominating everything

Miracle doesnt really exist in football unless you have either Ronaldo or Messi in those team lol !

Well if they win 4-0 or 5-1, they still go through,,, on away goals rule. If I know mourinho he will just tell them to go for it and try score 1 or 2 goals first. If they finish half time 2-0 like they did before, why not for two more goals in second half? It will not be impossible, Roma knows how to score too it seems and United could be cocky and play a weak team?

winning the European league is the only way to secure next season's champion league ticket for the arsenal, and of course the European Cup is also one of the keys to securing Mikel Arteta's seat in the arsenal, as an arsenal fan, I think that this season the arsenal is really slumping from all fronts it's a fragile defense and also attacks that are often ineffective, from several matches against small teams even the arsenal is completely helpless both home and away, to be honest I'm a little pessimistic if the arsenal is able to turn things around in the second leg later even though the arsenal has just won 0-2 at the newscatle but the arsenal's inconsistent performance this season is the reason I doubt the arsenal will be able to beat villareal in the second leg at the emirates stadium.

MU's steps have been very smooth...

MU will also face Roma in a more fit condition. Given the advantages they already hold, maybe only disaster can thwart the Red Devils' move to the final.

this match will be the last memory for Paulo as the coach of Rome in the semifinals of the European league. He will definitely give the best for the Roma fans, this match is really very exciting to watch.

To be honest with the aggregate of goals 6-2 in the first leg, in my opinion this match is no longer interesting because the possibility of turning things around is very small, of course it is not an easy job for AS Roma to score 3 goals without reply even though they are playing in the Olympic stadium which is now starting to look very friendly to the rival team, the final result will certainly not affect Paulo Fonseca's position because this season will indeed be his last season at As Roma, I think Paulo Fonseca has given AS Roma supporters a gift last week seeing a 6-2 defeat in the first leg.
