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

Saint Petersburg against Betis Was 0-2 pretty quickly and then Saint Petersburg made it 2-2 pretty quickly and this also seemed to be the halftime score. However, Betis did not give up and is now 2-3 ahead again and it is now rest. Barcelona has been in the corner where the blows fall for a while. I therefore do not rule out that this match will be lost to Barcelona. If this match is lost I fear the worst and the match at Napoli in Italy will be just a formality. This Barcelona is simply not good enough.

Barcelona 0-1 Napoli
The first half is over, Barcelona are now 1-0 behind. The Barcelona players have attacked enough. But they could not break through Napoli's defense. If they manage to attack in the same way in the second half then maybe they will be able to draw the match

Dortmund 0-2 Rangers
Dortmund trailed 2-0 against Rangers. I still can't believe it. I thought it would be a one-sided match and we could see the dominance of Dortmund. But we are seeing the complete opposite context. Dortmund are not playing well, on the other hand Rangers players are attacking a lot.

The first half between Napoli and Barcelona was almost over and surprisingly Napoli managed to put pressure on Zielinski's 1 goal in the 29th minute by taking advantage of the lack of communication from the defenders and Napoli's fast attack.
Barcelona will have to make something a little more different in the second half if they are to force a win at Camp Nou because it is quite risky if they lose here

In fact, Napoli is getting what it wants right now.  At worst, they want to leave with a draw in Barcelona, ​​and now the best-case scenario is happening.  They lead 1-0 with Zielinsky.  Closed in their own court, they are trying to be dangerous with a counter attack.  Even a draw in Spain is a good result.

Barcelona are completely dominating the game right now and they have finally scored the equalizer. They were playing dominantly but Napoli scored the first goal of the game. This was unexpected for Barcelona but they still managed to balance the game before it was too late. Now, there is still a time period like half an hour to the end. As long as Barcelona continue to put a big effort in the game, I believe that they can turn the game around too and win. It is very important for them to win here to have a good advantage before the second leg.

[BIT-BENDER]

The only trophy not in Barcelona cabinet is the Europa league, I never imagined Barcelona would ever play the Europa league, regardless its happened and Barcelona should make a good representation of them selves, but Napoli isn't an easy team at all, the match first at camp nou is currently a 1:1 draw going by Barcelona recent standard this isn't bad at all, let's keep our fingers crossed and see what they can do.

Barcelona just scored a goal from penalty. Now the scores are level. Barcelona will try very hard to win the match now by scoring another goal. I think they will be able to do that as they are making a lot attacks. But their strikers need to break the defensive section of Napoli to get the success.

Dortmund trailed 2-0 against Rangers. I still can't believe it. I thought it would be a one-sided match and we could see the dominance of Dortmund. But we are seeing the complete opposite context. Dortmund are not playing well, on the other hand Rangers players are attacking a lot.

Now the score is 4-1. Dortmund has no chance to reverse the match from this point. Rangers will win the match for sure. Dortmund is trying to dominate in the game, but Rangers is having a great lead in the game.

Barcelona 1-1 Napoli. It would be interesting if Napoli could hold this result till the end tho.
Dortmund 1 - 4 Rangers. 10 minutes left in the game and I could just say wow, what a weird and unexpected result we have in this game. Dortmund is 1 step closer to being eliminated by Rangers!

Yes, actually I believe this match will end in a 1-1 draw but after Dembele came on then I think Barcelona will have a lot of power on the flanks to create chances. There is still time to see who will actually win in this match but Barcelona are doing well at the moment even though it is still a draw.

I never expected Rangers to score more than 3 goals against Dortmund, it really surprised a lot of people because I think Dortmund are the favorites to win the match. It's true that now Dortmund are one step closer to being knocked out by Rangers. This is really disappointing it seems.

Dortmund, who conceded 4 goals in Germany, really shocked.  Congratulations to Rangers.  It is not an easy thing to win 4-2 in this match, as well as away.  Borussia Dortmund must score another goal in the final seconds.  They should go to the return match with a little more advantage.  If they go to the return game with this score, Rangers pass the round.

the game is over, it's a 4-2 win for the Rangers. I was pretty surprised by this result but the Rangers were more efficient and had the luck on their side today. They now have all the chances to go into the next round.
Meanwhile Barcelona "only" manages to achieve a 1-1 against Napoli. Just like Dortmund, they will face a very difficult re-match next week.

[KTChampions]

Barcelona - Napoli ended in a draw. But after the match, a very unpleasant impression was left - a dubious penalty broke the game, and at the end of the match there was a feeling that either I was watching the EPL match or the referee wanted to add as many minutes as Barcelona needed to win. However, before the second leg, it seems to me that now Napoli will be the favourite. Barcelona were never able to score from the game, although, as always, they controlled the ball a lot.

Barcelona 1-1 Napoli. It would be interesting if Napoli could hold this result till the end tho.

Interesting would have been if Napoli had won. But the game ended in a draw, in a great football game. Even so, it took a penalty for Barcelona to score a goal, which shows that Napoli was a little superior to Barcelona.

It will be interesting to see the second leg in Italy. I think Napoli is still in better conditions to win the tie.

Now Rangers only need to secure victory in the second leg by strengthening the defense. The second leg will be played next week at home to Rangers and that will go a long way in their favor. 2-4 was an unexpected score for Dortmund vs Rangers.

For Barcelona vs Napoli, it seems my guess was right, 1-1 until the match was over. Barcelona played well but they didn't score many goals. Torres had some good chances in the last 10 minutes but he didn't have enough finishing. Barcelona will have to pay a heavy price as the second leg will be played in Napoli next Thursday.

It will be interesting to see the second leg in Italy. I think Napoli is still in better conditions to win the tie.

I don't think so because Barcelona played well in this match. They have good stats compared to Napoli but have just been unlucky with scoring goals. Xavi must improve the mentality of his players in the second leg if he wants to qualify for the next round. Napoli are a strong team in defence, but Barcelona will be eyeing victory in Italy next week.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Barça played well and had some chances but unfortunately ferran couldn't convert them to goals. Ferran Torres wasted the team's effort, he lacks a lot of work, he is ineffective in front of goal, great match for Barcelona, ​​they deserved to win. They look like they’re not serious after being unable to score more goals. Honestly Barcelona need to take this Europa league seriously because it will give them two advantages; Winning the Europa league will guarantee their UCL qualification next season which is not guarantee in Laliga as it's stand. Also it Will allow them to have at least a trophy this season, if not they might go trophyless this season.

agree, quite shocking result in Dortmund, and Rangers could even lose home match, with one goal down, they are still in next round
I expect their bus in front of the goal next week

Barca and Napoli played solid match, 1:1 gives both teams equal chances to pass through, and this one could be decided on penalties in the end
Betis won in Russia, and they just need to confirm it at home ground

Well Barcelona was controlling the game in the second half that's why I say that it would be good if they don't receive another goal! which was the case fortunately. In fact such score will make the 2nd leg game more interesting

Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw with Napoli in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League, a result that was not very satisfying even though Barcelona were superior in possession by almost 67% compared to 30% but were only able to score one goal through a Ferran Torres penalty. A draw of course makes Barcelona unlucky because the 2nd leg Napoli will play at home. Barcelona's performance is still inconsistent at this time even though they played with the main squad but failed to win against Napoli, although there is still a chance in the 2nd leg but I think Barcelona's chances of qualifying for the next round look very difficult.

I don't think Napoli played much better than Barcelona, even though they scored first, It still was much a Barcelona dominated match imo, they were in complete dominance after the break. Although Barcelona would face a huge task in the 2nd leg like just that of today, but I still believe Barcelona would advance to the next stage.

My guess is right in the match between Barcelona and Napoli. The match has been drawn. However, Barcelona has played great. They played better than I expected. I watched the whole match reign of the Barcelona players. They have attacked a lot. Napoli only defended. Resisted the attack. After the first goal, they did not attack any more.
But Dortmund has disappointed me. They conceded four goals. Haaland is not in the squad so their performance is very poor. I'm just wondering what the team will be like next season if Haaland is not in the Dortmund squad.

The result of the match between barcelona and napoli of course still gives both teams the opportunity to qualify for the next round, I think 1-1 is a fair score for both teams and of course this will make both teams will play all out to win and snatch tickets to qualify for the round next in the second leg later.
I think the fate of barcelona and napoli is a little more fortunate, compared to dortmund which was actually destroyed by Glasgow Rangers with a score of 2-4, and this makes Glasgow Rangers a little safer in the second leg later.
