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

[tomahawk9]

why was bruno fernandes scoring a penalty like that when they were playing a very important game? it looked like he was making fun of his opponent and in the end he lost by 2 goals.

that's his style, he's been taking penalties like that since his Sporting days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faslkcl5M-A

Today I'm going against the majority and pick Shakhtar to win - odds are so good for it.

Good luck! i think i'm gonna go with Totals goals or BTTS, cuz like you said, Shakhtar are scoring a lot of goals lately, and Inter always find the net...although, i'm also considering Inter asian handicap, -0.75 at 1.75 odds is hella tempting

[snipie]

...manchester united had a great chance of winning, it was not a very difficult game for manchester united and he was losing in a regrettable way...

Honestly, considering the part of the game I watched, Sevilla was playing against a weak team with bad defence, easy midfield and no offence... So yeah before the game they were favourites but after seeing the match, definitely not.

-snip-

Odds for Shakhtar +5! Lucky bettors if it will win but I assume most people go for Inter (except LTU_btc)

Another year another 0 trophy for United, yet ole is there at the old Trafford in charge , this is not how a huge club doing their thing.

City then ManU. Good teams with laggy performance, inconstant and fail...
I watched the game at the last 20 minutes and Sevilla was way better. Even when they scored, they still attack and were close to score another goal. Sevilla defence was good, while ManU wasn't that good really.
Sevilla deserved to win that game.

Yup, esp City.  They've been choking at the CL and haven't really progressed to the semis since, except that one time under Pelligrini.  Whose style I loved btw.

Anyway lost more in that United match.  Expected to go nil - nil or 1 - 1 and go to shoot out...  So frustrating.  -_-

...  So I'm dropping some more action on Inter vs Shaktar.  Grrr..  I already have Inter to win, over 2.5 goals combo at 2.26.  Adding over 3 goals for the match at 2.05 and both teams to score, over 2.5 goals combo at 1.84.  Lezzz goooo!

Wow the first of two semifinals was great to watch the first half especially Sevilla did not have as many shots but they played very well and fearlessly out of defence,,, I guess now it is up to Inter or Shakhtar to make sure Sevilla do not make a record nobody can chase,,, yeah?

First article title I saw today was: beware ManU, Sevilla never lost a semi-final (3/3).
Anyway it is a hard game, hard to predict, especially when you see what happened in Champions League.. I believe ManU can do it but after seeing City yesterday I think it is better to avoid this game.

But if Sevilla have won the Europa 5 times, then how did they only play in 3 semifinals?

I assume the article is referencing the 3 matches with the actual name "UEFA Europa League" and not Cup that was used up to 2009. Well that journalist was right to warn them at the end

sevilla 1 - 2 manchester united



why was bruno fernandes scoring a penalty like that when they were playing a very important game? it looked like he was making fun of his opponent and in the end he lost by 2 goals. It is time for Manchester united to hire another coach and the worst was that this game manchester united had a great chance of winning, it was not a very difficult game for manchester united and he was losing in a regrettable way. What was missing at manchester united was having players who score a lot of goals.

He didn't lose them the game and they lost by one goal. And what was wrong with the penalty??? He scored didn't he? It looked like a good penalty to me. It seemed like a good tactic because it makes the keeper make the first move. And what is wrong with the coach??? He's got them to the semi finals and they finished third in the Premier League, which is better than sixth the previous season. Coaches shouldn't be sacked everytime they don't win a trophy. Why are you not calling for the players on the field to be sacked as it's them that should foot the blame here (even though I don't think they played bad). People and club owners need to stop making the coaches the scapegoats for poor performances. I think Ollie has done a decent job all things considered and I was even a sceptic of him managing a team such as United.

Today I'm going against the majority and pick Shakhtar to win - odds are so good for it. And I think they are understimated too much without a reason, they been really solid so far, scoring 7 goals in 2 games. Though, they had easier opponents than Inter. Offcourse, Inter is favorites, but it's just one game, everything can happen. I think Shakhtar have better chances than Lyon had against City.

It's a hard game to call. They' will have the underdog spirit but I think Inter will win. Not sure I would put money on it but it's a game I will watch.

LOL. The reason why Manchester united lost the game was obviously not the way that Fernandes tried to score the penalty.
He thought that this is the right way to do it in order to score and he tried it.
I agree that they need a new manager that will build the team again from the beginning with solid players in the squad that would be the leaders in the team.

my ticket:

couldn't resist asian handicap today, Inter faced stronger teams than Shakhtar, while the ukranians haven't played against such a juggernaut in this tourney...still think BTTS woulda been safer ‎🤔

EUROPA LEAGUE Semi-Finals - 17th August

Inter won head to head with shaktar, their last game at UCL was in 05/06 Inter won 2-1 and their next match was a draw. It's a game that's been around for a long time, I think the result is history. Both teams still have a chance to win. Inter have Lukaku playing well, if Shaktar wants to win they have to secure Lukaku. Apart from that reading some articles Inter have conceded very few goals, only 0.5 goals per game, so Inter have a pretty good defense. As for the shaktar they are the most fertile team in terms of scoring, fourteen goals in five games.

I am on both to score today as well. That has become my favorite bet in the last days. There is a lot of surprises but both to score has passed almost every time in Europa League and Champions League.

Inter has done their part of the work now I am waiting for Shaktar, they were really good in later part of previous matches so hopefully they will deliver at least that one goal.

Sevilla is called Europa' specialist for a reason you know 
For the moment, Inter is leading with 1 - 0. Shakhtar is used to score in its game so better for Inter to score another goal to secure its win

Too much economical difference between clubs...

It's like Juventus loses with Lyon or even worse Manchester City loses with Lyon... OH WAIT!

inter Shakhtar 2-0 in the 65th minute virtually inter in the final against Sevilla

inter Shakhtar 2-0 in the 65th minute virtually inter in the final against Sevilla

yeah, it seems that Shakhtar hopes are fading away, and with it my bet, as well
expected more from Shakhtar, but obviously Inter is a much better team and more concrete in a finish, Shakhtar is just rolling the ball without chances

technically Inter dominated the game from the beginning to the end! and the 5-0 proves it. after 10 years, Inter returns to play a European final

[LTU_btc]

Wow, 5:0 in semifinal, I think none of us didn't expected such result. In first half Shakhtar played something similar to football, but in 2nd half they been awful. Inter haven't been in final for so long and today they fully deserved it. Simply great performance. Can't wait for the final, it's going to be interesting.

Well with 5-0, I am pretty sure Conte himself didn't have a dream with such number!
Ok Inter is favourites but damn...5 goals!! I was like following the game a little, go do something then go back to find another goal. With 3 - 0 I was pretty sure the game ended...surprise! It is 5-0!

as an Inter fan I can't wait to watch the final too, Sevilla are a tough opponent! it will be a good final and may the best one win

Lol, I think the winner is the best and the lucky one. I like Sevilla because they are a solid team on the pitch. As one of the representatives from Laliga who was able to advance to the final, I hope they can win the Europa League this season. After they beat Manchester United 2-1 then I will support them until the end although previously I doubted they could reach the final. Inter are one of the best team from Italy and this final will be eagerly awaited by sport fans and gambler alike.

But before that we still have another big game in the UCL semifinal and lets look forward to that in the near future.
