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

[Fakhrulenclix]

It's one thing to call Barcelona among the main favorites to win the Europa League, and it's quite another thing to call Barselona the main favorite It all depends on how the club will finish, when there will be a decline in results and whether this decline will occur at all. Therefore, I would also not be in a hurry to hang this title on Barcelona, given Xavi's not very extensive experience as the head coach of the team and it is still unknown how he will cope with the problems that have piled up, and these problems will come sooner or later anyway.

After watching elcasico result last night optimist Barcelona have bigger chance for the winner on UEFA Europe League and they have impressive performance when defeating Real Madrid 4-0. I think 1st leg against with  Frankfurt looks as easy match for Barcelona close step to semi final but still waiting two or three weeks later for 1st and 2nd leg with held by FIFA match days. Everything have change with Barcelona gameplay right now after latest window transfer and success get superior central forward with Ferran  Torres and Aubameyang as potential player for Barcelona.

Barcelona has changed very drastically since being coached by Xavi and the arrival of several new players, it all has a positive impact on Barcelona's game, facing Frankfurt in the next match I think it will not be very difficult for Barcelona, and if you look at the few remaining teams the quality that Barcelona has above average. after the elimination of Sevilla I think nothing can make it difficult for Barcelona to become champions and I don't think there is anything wrong with favorites Barcelona to win the Europa League this season, it makes a lot of sense if you see their current form which is very good.

I think 1st leg against with  Frankfurt looks as easy match for Barcelona close step to semi final but still waiting two or three weeks later for 1st and 2nd leg with held by FIFA match days. Everything have change with Barcelona gameplay right now after latest window transfer and success get superior central forward with Ferran  Torres and Aubameyang as potential player for Barcelona.

Barcelona is now surely again a team which is fear for opponents with last night win against Real Madrid they announce all planes for future so no doubt now they are hot favourite for this Europa Cup and will also stay at second spot in La Liga behind Real Madrid which is also not bad for them, but one trophy is must for them in this season because they bounce back in very strong way.

Frankfurt is not easy opponent but still Barcelona is now far ahead of these all teams remaining in Europa Cup just Atlanta is having some ability to challenge, but this could be not easy for them to have stopped Barcelona from going through with this all. West Ham were also in good shape, but recently they are in some trouble which is bringing down their performance, but still a good team for any strong opponent.

Barcelona has changed very drastically since being coached by Xavi and the arrival of several new players, it all has a positive impact on Barcelona's game, facing Frankfurt in the next match I think it will not be very difficult for Barcelona, and if you look at the few remaining teams the quality that Barcelona has above average. after the elimination of Sevilla I think nothing can make it difficult for Barcelona to become champions and I don't think there is anything wrong with favorites Barcelona to win the Europa League this season, it makes a lot of sense if you see their current form which is very good.

I honestly did not think that Barcelona is going to win the El Clasico this time because of their performance earlier this season but they have certainly proved a lot of people wrong. They play really well and deserved the win. I was really happy to see the play of Usman Dembele in the match. He created a lot of space in the right-wing and produced some really good crosses for the attackers to feed off.

[Boristhecat]

If we assume that at this stage of the tournament, when there are only a few games left before the title and the teams have maximum motivation, then we can assume that Barcelona will be the clear favorite from these pairs. In a pair of Braga - Rangers, I have no ideas, so I agree with the quotes. In pairs Leipzig - Atalanta and West Ham - Lyon Leipzig and West Ham are the favorites indeed, but in my opinion they are overrated, so I would rather bet on Atalanta and Lyon.

By looking at the remaining teams, I think Barcelona is very favored to win the Europa League. And I think this is a distinct advantage for Barcelona to play in the Europa League because they are dealing with a team that is below Barcelona on paper. This is the only very big chance to win the Trophy this season, Given that to win the Spanish league championship trophy is very difficult or the chance is very small.

Given the fact that after a potential victory over Eintracht, Barcelona goes to the winner of the West Ham - Lyon pair, then most likely the final is secured for Barcelona. The second participant in the final will obviously be either Leipzig or Atalanta. Now both of these clubs look weaker than Barcelona, but both have a chance to beat it if they are "in the mood".

[Marvell1]

The game between Barcelona and Frankfurt will be exciting. Barcelona already struggled against Galatasaray, so it will be interesting to see if they can regain strength. For me Barcelona was the favourite, but now I'm not so sure anymore. We‘ll see 

I wouldn't say that Barcelona actually struggled against Galatasaray but it was certainly a little too close for comfort. Actually, I thought they will win by a better margin cause over 80% ball position was controlled by Barcelona at that match. Anyway, they did get the win and that's all matters.
Frankfurt is not an easy opponent for Barcelona at the moment. but I still think Barcelona is better than them. and Barcelona should win this match against Frankfurt. if they don't it will be really surprising.

Football is full of surprises, Barcelona just won 2-1 against Galatasaray and today they are playing a great game against Real. The dayform of the team also makes a big difference and Frankfurt has chances but in my opinion only very small ones. Barcelona are currently the clear favorites for the title, but surprises are always possible 

It is really unbelievable If we think about Barcelona winning against Galatasaray by a really narrow margin and the same Barcelona winning the El Clasico by four goals to zero. I think it really shows how the team has changed under new management and what potential it has to go ahead in the future. It will be really interesting to see Barcelona play in the next season.

Before the first match with Galatasaray, many people also said that this match would be an easy walk for the Catalan club, but we all saw perfectly well what really happened and how this match really ended Barcelona is undoubtedly the favorite in a pair with Frankfurt, and it seems that the superbly won Eli classico with Real Madrid only confirms this, but still let's not forget about the features of such a cup tournament as the Europa League, where everything can be decided not in favor of the favorite as a result of a single match. I wouldn't be surprised if Eintracht puts much more effort into the match against Barcelona than Real Madrid did, which has a very solid advantage in the standings.

Barcelona has changed very drastically since being coached by Xavi and the arrival of several new players, it all has a positive impact on Barcelona's game, facing Frankfurt in the next match I think it will not be very difficult for Barcelona, and if you look at the few remaining teams the quality that Barcelona has above average. after the elimination of Sevilla I think nothing can make it difficult for Barcelona to become champions and I don't think there is anything wrong with favorites Barcelona to win the Europa League this season, it makes a lot of sense if you see their current form which is very good.

He took like 3 players (Torres+Traore+Auby) and turned this club into a winner club, just three transfers. If he was hired like 2-3 seasons ago he wouldn't be this good, everyone keeps saying maybe Xavi should have been here before, they may have saved Messi and all that but we are seeing how Messi is not the Messi of the good old days and Xavi needed to be a manager in another team to first perfect his craft and get here now so that he could use all he learned here.

Now they are amazing, and even though it looked like they had a bit of a trouble with Galatasaray, I am 100% sure that they will be awesome and they are clear favorites to win it right now.

Barcelona is enjoying a wonderful period with Xavi, the win in El Clasico is the culmination of all the wins that Barcelona has a previously wond. Frankfurt must be careful with Barcelona strength, especially Aubameyang who is on fire at Barcelona front lines.
a big win in El Clasico made the Frankfurt coach breaks out in a cold sweat, a team like Real Madrid can be beaten easily with a score of 4-0 especially Frankfurt, which is not in its best form. After repeatedly watching yesterday's El Clasico, the Frankfurt coach will apply a defensive strategy against Barcelona. Maybe that's the only way to dampen attacks from Barcelona players.

But I don't think it will always be like that due to the fact that Frankfurt are in the Bundesliga this season in their first match against Bayern Munich, that Frankfurt can win the away match against the strongest team in Germany with a score of 2-1. Meanwhile, Barcelona in the UCL this season before finally becoming part of the Europa League, previously Barcelona joined in the group with Bayern Munich in the UCL group phase. Also, both of Barcelona's matches against Bayern Munich in the UCL group stage the result was a 3-0 loss but indeed, at that time Barcelona's condition was still not as good as it is now. This of course makes Xavi unable to consider the team's condition safe, because teams from Germany or the Bundesliga have power which I think can be a surprise in the match later. But yes, the condition of the team now is different but anyway, Barcelona should not underestimate Frankfurt because it is very likely to be a blunder.

Don't forget Dani Alves, who Xavi managed to bring back to Barcelona, ​​indeed he is 38 years old, but Dani Alves role is quite important.
Dani Alves with his experience of winning 12 trophies with Barcelona can help motivate young Barcelona players to have a strong mentality.
I think Xavi is really a genius coach, he thought of everything for Barcelona to be successful again. Now the steps taken by Xavi are starting
to pay off, because Barcelona's appearance has shown a very significant improvement. Barcelona is slowly starting to beat some strong teams
in La Liga. Finally, winning the El Clasico proves that Barcelona has indeed returned to its best form.

Although when they beat Galatasaray Barcelona's performance was less convincing, but I believe Barcelona is still the strongest candidate to win
the Europa League trophy. Slowly Barcelona will be able to beat their opponents in the Europa League and eventually become champions.
What amazed me with Xavi was how he brought in the right players on a limited budget, I can't imagine what if Barcelona's finances recovered
and Xavi could be given a budget to buy the players he wanted, I believe Barcelona will be even stronger.

Barcelona are of course a far better team than Frankfurt now. But they are not an opponent that can be underestimated by Barcelona too. If Barcelona really want to reach the Europa League championship, I hope to see them performing higher than their matchup against Galatasaray the last time. They can eliminate Frankfurt easier by getting well-prepared for this game. As Sevilla have been eliminated now, I see Barcelona having the highest chance to win the title.

One by one, Xavi Hernandes carried out the task well in bringing Barcelona to victory in the UEFA Europa League because winning in La Liga will never happen again in the 21/22 season. Against Frankfurt certainly will not be underestimated by Barcelona. Xavi will motivate his players to give the best for the team. Of course the spirit of victory in the El Clasico became Barcelona's capital against Frankfurt.

In terms of quality, Barcelona are far superior to Frankfurt and I don't think the match against Frankfurt will make it difficult for Barcelona to qualify.
The big win during El Clasico certainly made the team's confidence even higher and the victory proved that Barcelona are now back strong under the tutelage of coach Xavi and some of their new signings.
and after the elimination of Sevilla in the Europa League I think it will be very easy for Barcelona to become champions here because some of the remaining teams have quality below Barcelona, although in football anything is still possible but the possibility is very high if you look at Barcelona at this time with all their advantages will be able to win the Europa League this season.

Barcelona should not underestimate the opponents they face, including Frankfurt. Every important game is won by Barcelona in order to reach the target at the end of the season. The Europa League trophy is the only trophy left for Barcelona this season, They must not make the slightest mistake in the next game, every game is a final for Barcelona. They have to see the opponent they face as a strong team so they don't get carried away by their status as the favorite team to win in the Europa League.

Xavi isn't the sort of manager to underestimate teams and allow complacency to set it, so i absolutely do not see him doing that, Barcelona are still in their resurgence stage thus every team is a competitor to them as they try their best to always make a statement whenever they step out on the pitch of play. I expect Barcelona to win this and progress to the next round, they have shown quite a lot of quality of late to tell that they will be too strong for their opponents.

Having said that, i know based on Barcelona's level in world football, they ordinarily would not be happy winning the Europa league, but in this present circumstances, and with what the club has been through in the past year, i believe they will take this one with smiles if they win it, and start competing for titles such as the laliga and the CL with the big teams again next season, just as has always been the case.

Barcelona's quality is indeed above Frankfurt if we look at the two of them play, but regarding who will side with luck in the match we will not know even though we believe that Barcelona will find it easier to win the game.

We can't underestimate our opponent, especially since we know how Xavi has built the team so far. It seems that the attitude of underestimating the opponent does not exist in Xavi's figure in dealing with opponents, including against Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa League.

[KingsDen]

Barcelona has a very high chance of winning the Europa league. There are so many reasons they are the favourites but I will try and mention few of them;

• Barcelona is a champions league team, so their prestige is there for them
• Barcelona is currently in a good form
• This is the only available trophy for Barcelona to revive their image
• Xavi has done well and needs a trophy this season

The major threat I'm seeing is Westham United of Epl

[cryptofrka]

Barcelona did play an amazing game against Real and is doing really well in La Liga recently, but let's not forget that they really struggled in both games against Galatasaray not so long ago.

According to player quality and to general team value, Barcelona is definitely the biggest favorite to win. Still - if all goes according to plan they will face West Ham in the semifinals and that will be a difficult task for them. I expect the winner of Leipzig - Atalanta QF to be in the final, which will be another tough game if Barcelona gets there.

@cryptofrka I feel that Barcelona is evolving game by game, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they stormed their way to to finals. However if they end up against West Ham then it’ll definitely be a tough game for Barcelona, because West Ham have performed exceptionally well in this tournament, and it’s their best shot to play in champions league next season, hence they’ll be more eager to win against Barcelona if it were to happen.

Have different performance showed by Barcelona when defeating Real Madrid last week than several match before on UEFA Europa League 1st and 2nd leg against with Galatasaray, I think Barcelona have brilliant performance trough with several transfer player did by Xavi Hernandez and he got completed line up formation right now. Next game against with Frankfurt looks should as easy match but still waiting how consistent performance from Barcelona because UEFA Europa League as the only one option for getting trophy in this season.

Barcelona may have had an extraordinary match after getting rid of Galatasaray in the Europa League they also beat Real Madrid at home with a landslide score of 0-4, but they mustn't get lost in the euphoria of victory in the last few matches because in the quarter-finals they have been waiting for them. by Frankfurt, even though the German team is not as good as Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona should not underestimate the German team because they often give surprises.even though Barcelona is currently being championed as a champion in the Europa League.
