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

[asus09]

The Europa League will be presented again on April 7, among the 8 teams that made it to the quarter-finals, according to my prediction Barca is one of the clubs that grabs a lot of people's attention, because Barca's performance has been very consistent lately, 2022 is the year of Barca's revival under coach Xavi, Barcelona have never been defeated from the last 12 matches, maybe the European league will be the first title for Barca under Xavi's coaching, next season Barca will return to play in the champions league, and that will definitely add one more candidate to win the champions league next season.

Barcelona are favorites as strong candidates to win the Europa League by many people because the development of Barca coached by Xavi is very positive for the results achieved. Of the 8 remaining teams in the UEFA Europa League, there are Leipzig and Atalanta as teams that need attention even though one of them will fall later. The winner between Leipzig vs Atalanta will be a strong candidate who will face Barcelona in the race for the title.

With Barcelona beating Real Madrid by a huge score, that's enough to convince me that Barcelona has the highest chance of winning
the European League trophy this season compared to the other 7 teams. I agree with you that between Leipzig and Atalanta could be
serious contenders for Barcelona in the Europa League. And don't forget about West Ham, who managed to get rid of Sevilla, is a team that
might surprise in Europa League. So for me 3 matches in the quarter-finals caught my attention to know the result, while one more game
which is Braga against Rangers I don't really care who will win the match. Because between Braga and Rangers whoever makes it through
to the semifinals, will most likely stop in the semifinals.

Their chances are very big now, especially if their opponents can be said to be below them even though they are indeed good clubs in every league they run.
Leipzig and Atalanta will be very difficult to predict who will win in this match but if you look at it, it is very likely that Leipzig will win.
On the other hand don't forget West Ham, I think this can also be a candidate to be reckoned with now especially they have also beaten Sevilla in the previous phase

After the confident victory of Barcelona over Real Madrid, now Barcelona has become a favorite for many, and this is logical. Xavi established discipline in the team, the breeders worked well in the transfer market and the team got out of the crisis relatively quickly. Atalanta is too unstable and Leipzig will most likely fight for the Champions League zone in the Bundesliga, it will be an easier path to the Champions League than winning the UEL. Maybe for Barcelona LE is not a very prestigious tournament, but I think they will not give up this cup.

[ILuckyGuyI]

West Ham - Lyon draw is quite interesting too. West Ham are going to be my favourite to advance to next round above all else. They did a bigger work by defeating and eliminating one of the number one title contenders, Sevilla. After seeing this, I started thinking that they really want to reach this title. And it is important for them to do so because they can join the Champions League groups directly if they win the title. Because their ending the season in top four in the EPL is quite doubtful now. And I don't think that it is very likely.

Although Europa League is not really prestigious tournament, but I think it is a great chance for Barcelona to get at least a title this season.
It seems that Barcelona vs Atalanta will be the most possible scenario for the Final match of Europa League.
If Barcelona can play like what they did against Real Madrid few days back, I believe no team will be able to stop them winning the EL title.

[DukeNickle]

Barcelona are one step closer to the title now but I still have some doubts about them. Because it is obvious that they are going to end this La Liga season in top four. And this means that it is already guaranteed for them to qualify for the Champions League next season again. Taking this into account, they might start not to care about the Europa League at some point. It is all about how much they want to win at least one title this season. If they really want it, they can achieve it as well. But I'm feeling sure of one thing that they will move Frankfurt out of their way.

Suddenly now Barcelona is talk of soccer community again as few weeks back there were in talk due to their poor performance and management issues but now suddenly with the arrival of Xavi they are completely different team with some good vision for future and end of this season with now they have only one chance to win UEFA Europa Cup. Now with current form they have very fair and good chance for this because as per table no team is having good quality for defeating them but in soccer we can expect any big upset in any match which could usual business.

Frankfurt is very difficult club as they recently beat another giant Sevilla and with few other teams also having good chance for doing upsets like Atlanta and West Ham.

big 4? maybe not if they have the qualities to continuously improve their performance. And with the existence of Sevilla that continues to be threatened, it will make it easier for Barcelona to enter the top 2 under Real Madrid. If you continue to pay attention to how clever Xavi the coach is at giving big pushes by giving chances to the players then we will see after they fight in La Liga. We know that Barcelona is trying to focus on La Liga, whereas the Europa League may be less attractive. However, it is possible that some of Barcelona's matches against Frankfurt will not play core players.

Why shouldn't they try to achieve a title this season? I think they will play in full force to win Europa League since it is the only thing left. La Liga title is quite hard with the actual points difference unless Real Madrid will drop a lot of points which is unlikely to happen.
Frankfurt and the others are weaker than Barcelona. Leipzig and Atalanta are the ones that might get a chance against them but they will play against each other, giving a chance to Barca to win EL.

[RILWAN]

Well to me Barcelona has built back their form and is back on track with the latest performance from the club it is clear they are out to reclaim their position. This new skill formation of Barcelona, Spain is taking the UEFA league to a whole new level.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

Well, Barcelona is really surprising me, because the way they beat Real Madrid is impressive, I think these things are good to say, because they scored 4 goals against Real Madrid at home, this means that if they face to another team will have the same response as all, I think that Xavi is aligning Barcelona towards a great path.

In part this is good, because Real Madrid, despite being at the top of the league table, is never good to trust, life takes many turns and can get complicated.

[jakdanyel]

I also believe that Barcelona would do their best to win the Europa League championship this season. Because they have none other left in their hands now. Real Madrid won the Super Cup in Spain. And Barcelona have already been eliminated from the Copa del Rey. And it is obvious that they won't be winning the La Liga championship either. They have only the Europa League left now. So they would show their best performance hopefully to have at least one championship this year. This would motivate them for next season a lot too.

Actually, even if Barcelona loses their next La Liga match I am not going to be mad at all. but I would really like to see Barcelona finish in the top 3 in La Liga and also win the Europa League title. because by playing good football recently, I think they have set their standards higher than people expected and that's why there should be able to win the Europa League this time.  but I am expecting Barcelona to give us some more surprises in the recent future.

[FanEagle]

I think it's not difficult for Barcelona to get the Europa League trophy. Barcelona's charming appearance is enough to prove that Barcelona is the most favorite team to get the Europa League trophy.

Yes it is not a difficult thing, and in my opinion because it is not really the competition they should be playing, Barcelona started the 2021-2022 season badly enough in local leagues and european  competitions so being eliminated in the CL and playing in this europa league is definitely not what they expected because surely CL is more prestigious, but remember they can still lose here if they cannot maintain their performances. What club will be Barca's tough opponents here?

The fact that they could have been in UCL right now and get eliminated shows that maybe Europa is a blessing in disguise for them? What do you think would be better for Barcelona, get eliminated in quarter finals of UCL? Or win the Europa instead? I would say that winning europa is a better version, hell they could have been eliminated in the last 16 of UCL as well.

However, this all depends on them winning here, if they fail to win here as well then it would have been better to get eliminated in UCL instead of here. So the only silver lining is the possibility of winning here and if they manage to do it then they should be fine and look back at this year as a good year.

silver line for Barca in Europa league is that Sevilla is eliminated, and that makes things easier for them
Betis is out as well, but they were much worse in Europe, so Barca would easily win over them eventually

looking at eight teams left, there is no real threat for Barca to take the trophy

[kro55]

The opponents that Barcelona is facing in the Europa League seem to be less in power than Barcelona.

Obviously, Barcelona is the talk of the town right now, they have always been among the talks but this time it's for their good performance.

I also like the approach of Xavi because he has made this team go from zero to hero. without him, I am quite certain that it was not pretty much possible. I think if Xavi is given a lot more time, he will be able to get Barcelona back to their glory days.

[Jasad]

Almost all predicting here Barcelona as favorite candidate to be UEFA Europe League champion but I have different thing with West Ham United as favorite. I am not blame with impressive permance from Barcelona last several match before but still not sure with how ling keep consistent performance from Barcelona, Ithink West Ham United as primer league team have attractive games play and look prefer than Barcelona as the champion on europe league.

[Strongkored]

Sure, winning the european league is better than being eliminated in the CL quarter-finals, at least they can lift the trophy in a season where the conditions are different from previous years, and this complements the other trophies they have won because only in this competition they have never won, understandable because the european league is not a competition where Barcelona often compete.
