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

[hahay]

Barcelona coach has a lot of work to do to improve the team in next season because many fans are not happy about the results they got from this season. Many small teams defeated Barcelona in this season base on their poor performance from past matches. I believe Barcelona will be great again because their coach will really introduce more strategies that will help Barcelona to perform well through out next season to embrace the title. I think, their coach will not miss this opportunity to help Barcelona to win next season trophy to appreciate the management for the opportunity.

If they are pure fans then they will not be disappointed with Xavi's work this season. Xavi came at a time when the team situation was chaotic and even, when Xavi arrived, Barcelona's position in the La Liga table was in ninth place or between seven and nine I forgot the exact place. Therefore, with Barcelona again able to finish in the top four and even become runners up in the La Liga standings, there is nothing to be disappointed about from Xavi. Indeed, in this case it is about the Europa League, but I believe this Europa League is not a main target for Xavi so yes, I think Barcelona are still good and the real fans will certainly be able to understand the situation that is happening within the team.

Barcelona seemed to be unstoppable for so many people surely. They improved their performance too highly by Xavi's starting to manage the team in the end. But I was still having some doubts about them to go until the end in this tournament because their performance here wasn't impressive at all. They mustn't be caring about the Europa League title I guess as it is below their quality. They were struggling against much weaker teams and Frankfurt stopped them consequently. We will all see them performing much better in the Champions League next season. I'm confident about it.

What does Xavi have to do with bringing Barcelona back to glory with the Europa League?
I don't think Barcelona and Xavi need to be discussed here anymore, because the winner of the Europa League is already known. Barcelona's failure in the Europa League is an old story, after all, next season Xavi will lead Barcelona in the Champions League, not in the Europa League.

Well, although he said it in a somewhat harsh way, you are right, Barcelona had a very big failure in the Europa League, I would not think of Barcelona at the moment for it, rather it could make a difference with the Spanish league. that both Xavi and Barcelona managed to do something significant like being in the first places, I wouldn't say that they were in the first place or that they were champions, but if they could stay in the top 3, maybe that way they would once again be one of the best teams from Spain, Europe and the world, they have respect in football, the only thing left is for them to show it on the pitch.

Barcelona should not think about their failure too much right now because they started the season really badly and they ended up finishing in the top two, which is an achievement in itself in my opinion.

Barcelona is going to concentrate on doing well in La Liga next season. They will also be trying to do well in the Champions League but I don't know if they will be able to achieve any great thing in the Champions League with the current squad. I think they should concentrate on La Liga right now and over time they will make their squad stronger through some transfers and they will be able to concentrate on the Champions League then.

Barcelona has done really well because their standing was not good at starting, everyone thought they might not even make it in the top 10. But they have certainly proved everyone wrong and they have made a really good comeback. And their coach did a really good job.

I think they perform really well and there is nothing to be ashamed of. they did not do very well in the Europa League and that is okay in my opinion after all that they have been through this season. I believe they will be able to play a lot better in the next season and have good competition with Real Madrid.

Yes, truly they made it. What makes many fans disappointed in them is probably that they couldn't get Europe League trophy when they were actually at the rising codnition. but in my opinion, there must be a certain condition where a team couldn't always fulfill the expectation. Sometimes, what the expectation didn't match with what happened during the game on the field. So, just give appreciation to Barcelona that had tried their best in this season. And wait for their next season performance. they should be better. if they still couldn;t make better, it is normal if more fans are disapointed.

[Distraction]

Barcelona have come quite a long way thanks to Xavi's good management so far. Maybe they weren't very successful in the Europa League this season but their style showed us that they didn't care about the tournament too much. Because they were playing completely different in the La Liga and the Europa League. They were much eager to win in the La Liga. It is really great to see this improvement among Barcelona players because they deserve bigger successes in the future. If Xavi continues to make things work next season too, they can do great things.

Don't worry if you are Barcelona fans still have hope for your favorite team back to UEFA Europe League next season trough finish on 3rd position standing on champion league  . I know every fans hope next season can bring positive side with Barcelona back to the top performance and success with one or treble trophies next season begin with copa del rey, la liga untuk uefa champion league. But not really optimist with Barcelona performance is better than this season.

They do not have to be great right now this season, they had a horrible start of the season that is true, but not like they fixed all of their problems. It is true that Xavi has been much better than Koeman but I am sure that koeman is furius and yelling at TV screen "if you gave me those players like auby+traore+torres then I would had better results too!!!" and that is why the real difference will always be roster change.

Barcelona needs to get better players and all that, but they do not have financial means to do so, which means that maybe it will take longer than just one year for them to turn things around and start being champions everywhere.

Xavi management in the team so far is spectacular, he really  transformed the team since taken over as a manager, his impact in the team is remarkable. With their stats this season  I never expected they could finished at the second place in the league this season but they came up with a different pattern of play that end them at the second place in the league. Though they performance was so poor in the Europa league, I think they really need to sign more experience player next season to come back more better and stronger.

I know that Barcelona did struggle against some weaker opponents but to me, that is understandable because this is the new reformed Barcelona in my opinion. We have to remember that they did not start the season well at all and they should be really happy to end in the second position in la Liga. We can say that they probably have failed in the European League. And I agree with that.

But even though they didn't achieve too much in this season, they haven't lost too much either as we thought they might. I am also looking forward to seeing them play in the Champions League. Imagine losing to Frankfurt in Europa League and next season winning the Champions League!!!

Yes, better players are always going to produce better results but we can not deny the fact that Xavi had a lot more impact on the team compared to any previous coaches. He lifted the morale of the team.

I know that obviously all the problems have not been solved but some problems have and I believe the other problems will also be solved over time. It's obviously going to take time. I think they have a chance to do well in the next season but even though they don't play very well, like finishing first in the La Liga or winning the Champions League I think they will get close.

I totally agree, the truth is they will start showing their level of play next season in the Champions League, and if they suddenly happen to drop out in Europa League again, I think it will be a bell that there is something wrong with the team, despite their success (again, if they do) in La Liga. They've rehabilitated themselves pretty well this season

[Pulsar77]

After they made some significant changes in the system of the Europa League, we started to see a more interesting competition here. The team that finish the group stage at the first position are very comfortable now actually. They don't need to play an extra round as they are just waiting for their opponent to be decided by that round. I won't be able to say the same thing for the second placed team as they are having a matchup against teams that come from the Champions League groups. I started to like this system more compared to the first time I heard about it.

Barcelona did well as a team, Barcelona were not stable in performance  and was going through some difficulties to always come out with a good result. But with time Barcelona began to play well under the watch  of Xavi,  Barcelona didn't just only improve but were able to meet up a good position in the standings.  It is not easy for Barcelona to get back better position.

This is the reason why almost every team targets to be the first in the group stage. Because if you are in the second position there is a high chance of facing harder opponents.

It will be really hard for them to win these matches because they are facing teams that have been demoted from the Champions League to the Europa League and this competition is certainly not ideal. And the teams coming from the Champions League are obviously going to be determined to prove themselves and look for the opportunity to get promoted to the Champions League again.

Barcelona journey this season has been incredibly difficult but Xavi was able to make Barcelona end the season better, since dropping from the Champions League to the Europa League many people think that the 2021/22 season is the end of Barcelona glory in the europa competition  and that it was made worse when they failed to get the european league trophy, but seeing barcelona performance at the end of the season, I started to think if possible with many changes in their the squad maybe barcelona will return to being a respected team in la league and european competition later.

Barcelona wanted to bring Robert Lewandowski to the team. But I don't think they will be able to bring him. I think they will be looking for increasing the strength in defense.

Otherwise, they will keep making the mistakes that they have made in the last season and also in the Europa League. Xavi has done really well with this team and started bringing the results very early but I think he still needs some time with this team because the next season is going to be more competitive and things might take a turn for the worse for Barcelona.

I really believe Barcelona next season will be able to compete with any team, both in the domestic league and in the international arena.
With the presence of several new players, Barcelona will certainly have a new passion in playing football.
As we already know Barcelona managed to get AC Milan midfielder Kessi, I really believe Kessi will be able to lead Barcelona's midfield as he showed in Milan So that Milan can win the Scudetto.
Kessi has a very good game, and plays very relaxed so that he is able to compose a good game.

[Gencecikmen]

The match could have gone either way. But Frankfurt was better. I believe that it was a deserved win for Frankfurt.They even eliminated Barcelona before and they won the title now. So congratulations. A tournament like a fairy tale for Frankfurt. This could be a football miracle that happens every few years and even decades.

I didn't pay much attention to the fact that Barcelona were knocked out of the Europa League cup, they played well there, but I can't say they were great. Lewandowski is going to move to Barcelona this summer, so I think it's a pretty good reinforcement and could help the team. And the end of the season for Barcelona has really been very good
