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

[Joca97]

Barcelona are in good position to achieve this UEFA league title because they are really doing well in this tournament that is making people to feel that they have what it takes to win this league title in this season. Based on the professional game they played last match, show that Barcelona  will defeat Galatasaray team 3-0 to  give their fans a big hope ahead of UEFA champion league title. Barcelona will not allow Galatasaray team to have a goal in their next match than to load them 2-0 for first half and 1 for second half to make the the goals 3-0 at the end of the match.

Barcelona’s quality increased when Xavi took over and in this winter transfer window they got an entire new attack. Napoli was good in the first match but Barcelona was much better in the second duel. Galatasaray is really weak this season so i think Barcelona will easily pass then and go into the next round.

Yeap!
Barça was completely changed the predictions in the UEFA, and this is mainly due to coach Xavi, who many doubted could rebuild the team (yes, I was one of them). From a state of deep depression after the knockout in the Champions League and withdrew after falling to the Europa League, with little hope of being able to win it, the Barcelona team reached the round of 16, and I believe they will be able to pass not only Galatasaray, but also reach the final.

The performance of the Galatasaray was now good and not better one.But the performance of the Barcelona was always unique one.Their game get huge audience and people from mny country was the followers of this game.Even I am not from Barcelona,but the players was unique.Their match which going to occur next week will be the best show to the football fans.It was against the Galatasaray and all should have a match to know,which is real football game.

Barcelona was the best team in the world.It may be seems extraordinary ,but it was real thing.Some football fans agreed it.But only think,Argentina was the first team in the world.I have not going to blame them,It's their own opinion on the game.Every person have a rights to choose certain things.Now Galatasaray also improving their game and lets wait and see next week.

Dont get too excited quickly , there is plenty of time for xavi to build a real team power .. and also at the same time the high hopes and hype could destroy their current excellent form.
I wont really surprised if then they are back into a bad form trend to get losing back to back as you might know rebuilding a team like barcelona takes time!

And xavi needed it at least for the next 1 full season to fully recover the team. I still believe they can fail to pass galatasaray , mark my words.

It's been a very bad season for Galatasaray because indeed even in the turkish super league they are only in 12th position at the moment. Actually, there are a few problems at the club that must immediately improve the club management there.
On the other hand, Fernando Muslera's injury is now a fatal loss which has made them lose the goalkeeper and captain they trust on the pitch.
I personally will obviously be at Barcelona's side in this round because even it's 99 per cent they are already through

Now recently we have some good significant drop in quality of Turkish soccer just because of this their teams are giving the worst ever results in European competitions after beating Napoli is in super form and their higher spot is also settled in La Liga, so now they can play very aggressively against any team try to win this cup which can bring some good smiles back on fans faces after worst ever start of this season.

Galatasaray was good in Europe few years back, but recently they are having serious troubles in Turkish League as well with now staying into middle is not fair by their great past, but they need to do some good changes for having good time in future. Barcelona can go through into good because their confidence is high and with the arrival of Xavi and now Auba they are facing very good in strategy and attack which was big concern for them.

I personally feel this is not to make their fans smile but to make up for the loss of being eliminated in the UCL this season lol.
But indeed now they appear quite convincing and even become the strongest competitors because now the big teams that are expected to do a lot at UEL are starting to fall one by one and maybe what is very unfortunate is Napol and Dortmund who have to go home early.
This is certainly one of the big hopes for Barcelona, especially for Xavi because this could be Xavi's first trophy at Barcelona as coach.

I also do not recommend making far-reaching conclusions about Barcelona. Yes, the team started winning and showing the results that delight the soul of the team's fans, but really all this started happening only recently and I'm not sure that the team has that margin of safety to constantly give results, because this margin does not appear instantly and it needs to be gradually worked out over time. There may well be a situation when the team will not succeed again and the team will fall down purely psychologically. Also, do not forget about the format of the Europa League as a cup tournament and therefore Galatasaray may well show a good result in these two matches.

Barcelona have good result achievement last several match before and always score above 4 goals not only with UEFA Europe league competition but also on La Liga Barcelona have been perfect team right now. I think have to put odd about 80% for Barcelona will get UEFA Europe league trophy for this year behind still have Sevilla as favorite for second competition level on Europe, but I see good progress achieve by Xavi Hernandez make me keep believe for favorite Barcelona as one team have bigger chance as the winner.

Xavi really revived the Barcelona team in a very short time and we should congratulate him on that.
Unfortunately, it is too late for the Spanish Championship, Cup and Champions League, and realistically Barcelona now have the opportunity to win only this trophy to save the season.
An additional reward for winning this competition is participation in the Champions League next season and that is why I think Barcelona will do everything to win this competition.
I think Sevilla will be their toughest opponent.

Barcelona are definitely the most credible team to me in this season of the Europa League now. After I saw their incredible performance in the second leg of the Napoli draw, I thought that Barcelona were nearly the same old Barcelona finally. On the other hand, I still don't want to get too hyped about them too. Let's just see them in the next round too and then decide whether they can really achieve the title. Actually they are going to have an easier round this time but the most important thing is their effort level in the end.

[AakZaki]

I just heard UEFA officially banned Spartack Moscow from appearing in the Europa League. If this is true then Leipzig will certainly go straight to the quarter-finals. It's an advantage for Leipzig but also bad news. I think it's unfair, sporting institutions shouldn't be tied to a country's affairs. Although the goal is good but I think it harms some people, because I believe the russian aggression does not fully have the support of all russian citizens.

Facing Galatasaray Barcelona players will show their best ability to move to the next round, The enthusiasm of the players began to be seen when they stopped Napoli with a score of 2-4 in the second leg of the Europa League.
As a big team, Barcelona will try to get the title at the end of the season. Now the Europa League is the only trophy left for Barcelona this season, because Barcelona can no longer compete with other clubs for the La Liga title. As an experienced club in European competition, Barcelona is very favored to penetrate to the next round and must always be consistent in every game in order to reach the final round.

Your optimism surprises me. You talk as if Barcelona has already become so strong that they should win every tournament in which they participate. In fact, we can only see a successful series of matches. In order to draw any conclusions, a longer distance and various strong opponents are needed. Of the last strong rivals, I see only Napoli, but their motivation for the Europa League remains unclear to me.

Indeed and whether Xavi really "revived" Barcelona is also far-fetched. In fact I do believe that Xavi may never be able to bring Barcelona back to where they come from. I can't even judge Xavi's qualities as a coach. It doesn't feel to me as if he has the same aura of the real heavy weights like Guardiola, Klopp or Zidane (etc., incomplete list of course).

But Barcelona might even feel more pressure to win than Napoli because they are most likely also more broke and need every penny they can get...

I'm still not convinced. Barcelona are in a situation, I won't say that any coach changed the course, but they were so bad for the team they have, it was difficult to get worse. I think the two games against Galatasaray and then with Real Madrid, you can really understand that. Even so, I think that only in the next season will we see if Xavi is the right choice or not.

Wow! 
Actually, this is not going to make any change in the mindset of Putin. Honestly, I think he couldn't care less. By doing this they are just causing problems for the particular teams that are being banned. I understand why this is being done but I am not sure if this is the right way.

I think Barcelona is going to be able to do this. After a long time, they are showing good promise. They seem really confident. The forward is performing well and they also crossed the biggest threat for them which was Napoli. And they also did that in style. So I am really hopeful about the current Barcelona team. And I think Galatasaray should be an easy opponent for them. Maybe this is the time when they start bringing good results consistently.

 Regardless of the results obtained barcelona gets when it face with galatasaray later, but I think now xavi has done a good job at barcelona and he managed to at least lift barcelona form now compared to when barcelona was coached by koeman, barcelona fans should be thanks to xavi whatever happens in the future, because with limited funds and limited players (free players) xavi is able to make Barcelona now compete in the top 4, besides that if we look at Barcelona style of play now it is starting to return to the tiki taka style of play and is very beautiful to watch menurut saya .

I don't want to blame xavi for Barcelona currently performance,  changing a coach can also not solve the problem in Barcelona. Xavi should be allowed to coach the team for sometime and watch if their will be change in the way the team plays. The problem could even come from the player by not putting good effort in every game.

Barcelona are in good position to achieve this UEFA league title because they are really doing well in this tournament that is making people to feel that they have what it takes to win this league title in this season.

Barcelona will not allow Galatasaray team to have a goal in their next match than to load them 2-0 for first half and 1 for second half to make the the goals 3-0 at the end of the match.

The next team may indeed be weaker, but I wouldn't give away the title in the whole tournament in advance to Barcelona. There will definitely be teams on the road that will give it a very strong fight, it makes sense, I'm only sure they'll make it to 1/4 for now, that's all.

Barcelona struggled a lot in the Champions League but they seem to have things in order now and with their form they are certainly a contender to win this tournament. Then it would still be a successful season. Galatasaray is normally way too weak for Barcelona, but I've read that playing in front of that crowd in Turkey can be a bit of a nightmare. I don't know who will play at home first. if Galatasaray At home gets a good result, they still have a chance.

They didn't actually struggle in the Champions League, they just finished what they could to lose by a less embarrassing score. This half of the year, however, with the reinforcements, things have really started to improve and I think even with full stadiums Barcelona can still easily beat the Turkish team, although, the fans are able to motivate the players incredibly
