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

[alpamar99]

Barcelona can seem as the biggest contenders for the Europa League title now. But I don't think that their job will be easy. I see West Ham especially as the biggest opponent for them. Because they eliminated Sevilla in the previous stage and showed how serious they were in this tournament. In case Barcelona and West Ham both eliminate their opponents, they are going to face each other in the semi finals. It would be like a finale game and I would definitely watch both of the games then.

West Ham may be looking to do well in the Europa League. But their performance in the Premier League is not satisfactory. They are not stable as a team. Can't consistently perform well. Barcelona, on the other hand, is now a very consistent team. If you want to win the Europa League title, there is no substitute for consistently good performance. Moreover, West Ham's defense is very weak. Barcelona is now performing very well against a weak defense. And able to score many goals.

Even if that's the case, I think it's still the opposite because their focus is probably currently on the Europa League, although their EPL hope is still there to fight for the top 4 positions there, but indeed their focus might be a little disturbed by the Europa League.
On the other hand, it's actually quite funny to discuss Westham and Barcelona, which in fact their opponents are still different now because even if they win, there are still other opponents. Barcelona will face Frankfurt while Westham will face Lyon. It wouldn't have happened with Barcelona and Westham if they couldn't have won this

Barcelona is considered one of the serious contenders for the UEFA Europa league title. The catalians are in a great form recently their recent results bears it's out, they have a good performance since the start of the season  and bringing in quality players like aubameyang adama traore and other young players to strengthen the team pattern of play it was a good step, they performed excellently in their last games beating their rivals realmadrid 4:0 in a El-classico match and also also defeating Galatasaray to move to the next stage of UEFA Europa league. Recently they are in their good form taking 26 from a possible 30 points in their last 10 fixtures. Barca coach xavi Hernandez contributed to the team sucess, he has been outstanding since taking over the work from Sergi barjuan He puts in his commitment and passion to boost the team pattern of play. They will be facing eintracht Frankfurt in their next UEFA Europa league quarter final game at the Deutsche Bank Park. With their recent form they stand a chance of qualifying for the UEFA champions league and also winning the Europa league.

For Barcelona their results match was according to people predict that they are the favourite against Galatasaray but for WestHam they are really surprising people that eliminated Sevilla as defending champion is really unexpected results because mostly people predict Sevilla will beat them and for next round i'm sure WestHam will became serious contender for strong teams especially for Lyon which is WestHam next opponent

I hope West Ham am able to finish the match vs Lyon with a win. So far what I see, the ideal opponents for Barcelona are West Ham and Atalanta. If Barcelona and West Ham both win in the quarter-finals and manages to get a ticket to the semifinals, then Barcelona will be met with West Ham. On the other hand Atalanta have to reach the final, because the top party of the Europa League will be very interesting if Barcelona against Atalanta.

If we look at the performance in their respective domestic leagues, Barca have a great chance of getting to the final of the European league, because West Ham in their domestic league has played inconsistently, now West Ham has dropped to 7th place in the standings, while Atlanta is also playing less consistently. in their domestic league, but Barca have now shown an extraordinary performance in 2022, under the tactician Xavi, even Barca were able to crush the leader of the standings real Madrid with a landslide score of 4-0, out of 8 teams competing in European leagues, I will placing my bet on Barca, I believe Barca can lift the European league cup.

It's not easy as imagined, They still have long way to winning Europe league, they have a lot to do like stabilize the strategy and strengthen the role of playmaker like Xavy and Iniesta in past. many people thing Barcelona was created a better startegy after Xavy take over the coach but, when I look them, still many weakness each line especially the midfield. So, what to do next is make it perfect to to roll forward, Barcelona must buy another player to filling the weakness position.

Eintrancht Frankfurt should not be hard for Barcelona to defeat, Barcelona will also qualify for the quarter final. Atlanta would also probably qualify. These are the two clubs I think will make it to final. I.may be wrong because West Ham is also playing good but these two clubs are better and have the players that can be able to make a club to qualify for final.

West Ham are very likely to qualify as they are mentally and confidently high after beating Sevilla, and the possibility of facing Barcelona in the Semi-Final will certainly be very difficult for them to pass because Barcelona are very strong here. none of the remaining teams are of the same quality as Barcelona, if there are no surprises I think it is very possible for Barcelona to win the Europa League this season.

The winner of the Frankfurt - Barcelona draw is going to face the winner of the West Ham - Lyon draw. And we are likely to see a Barcelona - West Ham draw after this round. And it would be a draw that is very hard to predict too. Because West Ham care about the Europa League a lot. And Barcelona haven't been playing like they do in the La Liga here. Considering that, West Ham would be strong enough to eliminate Barcelona in that case but let's just see what's next now.

It will be a good game to watch, Barcelona with a premier side is a tough one but it will be difficult for Barcelona to win this westham side even if the Spanish side are favourite, Barcelona has pick top form ever since Xavi Hernandez came back they are now playing like a Barcelona team( tiki taka) but I think West ham United needs this trophy more because is there gateway to champions League football next season.

Because Barcelona is already qualified for champions league in next season its not enough reason to lose to westham in the Europa. and who knows if west ham will survive the quarter finals against lyon and even if they  do  the will need to play a very classic game to win Barcelona which the chances are very slim going by how far xavi has improved Barcelona games.

No one from the Europa League will be able to win Barcelona now. You can see how Torres, Gavi, Pedri play in the national team, how important they are for the Spanish national team. But besides them there are Busquets, Aubameyang, Depay in Barca.
They all play well for the national teams too and that means problems for every one who will play with Barcelona. No one can stop Barcelona this year and with a 90% probability Barcelona should win Europa League.
Next year, I think Barcelona can already compete for the Champions League.

It would be ideal if Barcelona met West Ham in the semifinals, but the statistics of both teams are superior Barcelona going into the final than West Ham. Big victory over Real Madrid will make Barcelona players even more excited in the Europa League, because the Europa League trophy is the only trophy that Barcelona can win at the end of the season. The Europa League is also a proving ground for Xavi as the coach who first handled Barcelona, ​​of course Xavi will do everything he can to get his name on the list of top coaches such as Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Mourinho and Massimiliano Allegri.

I too will go for West Ham in this quarter final, Lyon was once a good club but can not be underestimate because they are still having some players that can surprise, but for now also, the club is not that so good, even in Ligue 1, Lyon is not playing that good. With this, I too believe West Ham will qualify for the semi final instead of Lyon. But what I was talking about is that if West Ham qualifies for the semi final and fixed with Barcelona, I do not think West Ham will make it up to final.

I think we are underestimating Lyon here. How are we sure that West Ham will make it out of the Quarter finals. Lyon might be having a terrible season in Ligue 1, but that doesn't guarantee that they will lose against West Ham. The same thing applied to Barcelona. The  Europe League results something is usually shocking, especially in the Quarter and Semi finals. Although, they might probably be seems as the favorites.

Say whatever you like I'll vouch for Barcelona and Xavi's young boy's.
Did you get to watch how they played against Real Madrid ?
West Ham having a on and off performance ever since there defender ogbono went out for injury.
Let's see though, but Barcelona should move to the next.

Before discussing Westham, I think they should focus on their current opponent, because even if it happens with Westham, it might not be now or the game after this, they now have to focus on Frankfurt and indeed, even though this is an opponent who is not seeded, but seeing as they are having a hard time playing against Galatasaaray in the previous round of course there is still a lot of work that Xavi has to complete

They are obviously actually the favorite for these matches but yes I agree that surprises can happen in football and I think these teams know that very well. I don't think these games are going to lose because they are obviously better and I also don't think it's a case of underestimating any team because everyone is talking considering the level of powers that both teams have.

I know that Barcelona had a really big victory against Real Madrid in La Liga but I think they should not get ahead of themselves and concentrate on the job at hand first.
And the first job is to reach the finals. I think Barcelona should win this Europa League title after the performance that they have shown in recent times. And if they don't, it will still be a great comeback from the team.

Yeah, that's win made Barcelona even better, I agree Xavi job should be to reach the Final first. But I don't think it's difficult because there's only one opponent left who is the best in my opinion its Lyon, on all club currently the strongest opponent. Performance improved and stable at this time, Barcelona should be able to advance to become champions if no one is injured, Xavi must be able to maintain the condition of the striker.

[Ratash]

The winner of the Frankfurt - Barcelona draw is going to face the winner of the West Ham - Lyon draw. And we are likely to see a Barcelona - West Ham draw after this round. And it would be a draw that is very hard to predict too. Because West Ham care about the Europa League a lot. And Barcelona haven't been playing like they do in the La Liga here.

It all depands on barcelona performance because aside from their game against real madrid and the second game against napoli we didn"t see a really dominant performance from barcelona i don't know why they don't perform in the europa league as they did against real madrid but one thing is sure it will not be easy for them to win the europa league.
