Emery knows how to go to the finals of the Europa League, there is no equal to him. He is just as good at winning the finals, let's see how he does it with Manchester United. Manchester is very good, but this is the final, the game can be neat and I think there will be not many goals.

[JollyGood]

I am not sure but I think Emery won the Europa League 4 times already so Villareal will be confident but Manchester United made it to 4 semi finals under Solskjaer and failed to get through to the finals, this is their first final under him.

It will be an interesting game.

@JollyGood as I have said earlier I suddenly feel Barcelona to be in a stronger position, and I won’t be surprised if they’re able to stun Napoli. Also what about Dortmund can we expect a surprise loss for them, or will they comfortably win their match as they have shown mixed form this season.

[JollyGood]

You say Barcelona, I say Napoli 

It will be an interesting match to watch because both teams feels they should be in the Champions League but both are absent. It looks like years of decline for Barcelona before things might get better for them.

Because of the sudden excite iyf Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus were in their worst form, this is the club that is the strongest among Italian clubs in UCL, the club had made it to quarter final and semi final many times, but hard for Juventus to win. All other Italian clubs there are just playing but not good enough, I have noticed this many times before, seeing some Italian clubs not among the clubs playing UCL this season again is not surprising me as they got disqualified. Barcelona were in there worst form this season, the club was not playing as expected in La Liga Santander this season before, but luckily they made it from 8th position to the now 5th position with one match behind, competing with Real Betis and Atletico Madrid for the third and fourth position. Napoli is playing good in Seria A but I do not know if they have the experience to play outside Seria A with other big clubs.

This game reminds me of the last 16 of the Champions League two seasons ago (2019/2020). Barcelona managed to come out as winners with 4-2 aggregate. Now Barcelona will be back against Napoli in the Europa League. Barcelona must accept the reality of playing in the Europa League after their poor form throughout this season. I'm not so sure Barcelona can go to the next round, because Napoli are not an easy team to beat. Napoli have a squad and pattern of play that cannot be underestimated, especially Barcelona inconsistent performance after reaping bad results at the start of the season. I would say Napoli will go into the next round and take their revenge on barcelona.

I went through the fixture list again. Can anybody see a bigger clash than Barcelona vs Napoli? This is the stand out game for me and probably has to be for most. I think Napoli will win over the course of two games and qualify for the next round.

I agree with you, and this will be the first time that Barcelona play a match in the second European competition since the 2003-04 season, when they reached the round of 16. That is, it is the first game of Barcelona since the competition has that name.
It's a shame that Xavi won't be able to count on Dani Alves, but I hope they have time to have Memphis Depay back for this game.... I was hoping for a victory for Barça against one of the most powerful teams in this competition.

It will surely be a big challenge for Barcelona though they have prepared for this a lot. Napoli has been really consistent and it was hard for any team to easily beat them. I just hope that Barcelona would give their 100% shot for this so they could gain a good spot again.

[JollyGood]

I think Napoli along with Dortmund are favourites to win the tournament because the other teams including Barcelona are not equipped to win it. Barcelona will take years to recover from their financial issues and the team is urgent need of a rebuild.

Napoli pattern of a play was very good when they drew 1-1 with Inter Milan in week 24, From all lines of a play Napoli are very solid, their defense was very neat even though in the 47th minute they had to concede by Edin Dzeko.
Barcelona will be overwhelmed to get a win from Napoli, especially now that Barcelona performance is not fully stable, in the last game they had to share points with Espanyol.  Barcelona needs time to reach their peak again, I think a Barcelona will end the season without a title.

Please, just a question, I noticed you are only discussing about Europa League here, what about Europa conference league, is there any active thread for it also?

Barcelona vs Napoli   
Borussia Dortmund vs Rangers   
Sheriff Tiraspol (Mol) vs Braga   
Zenit St. Petersburg vs Real Betis   
Atalanta vs Olympiakos FC   
FC Porto vs Lazio   
RB Leipzig vs Real Sociedad

I can not go for any of the two, Napoli is playing good but I do not have confidence on any Seria A matches outside their league for now, any club between them can win this game, but I can go for first half over 0.5, or both team score or over 2.5.

I would have preferred to go for Borussia Dotmumd, Atlanta and Sevilla to win which I think are more reliable.

@JollyGood I wouldn’t underestimate Barcelona just yet, because even with limited player’s they are yet a strong team and they can stun Napoli if they don’t take them seriously. Also Dortmund haven’t been in top form this season, hence I won’t be surprised if they end up losing, therefore I’m wondering if anyone else is feeling motivated to wager against them.

RESULTS:

Barcelona 1-1 Napoli   

Borussia Dortmund 2-4 Rangers   

Sheriff Tiraspol (Mol) 2-0 Braga   

Zenit St. Petersburg 2-3 Real Betis   

Barcelona vs Napoli ended in a draw but Rangers thrashing Dortmund 2-4 has to be the result of the night. What a win for them.

RESULTS:

Barcelona 1-1 Napoli   

Borussia Dortmund 2-4 Rangers   

Barcelona vs Napoli ended in a draw but Rangers thrashing Dortmund 2-4 has to be the result of the night. What a win for them.

Barcelona's appearance was quite good against Napoli, The aggressiveness of the Barcelona players in the early minutes made the Napoli a defense panic. Luckily Napoli managed to steal 1 goal at Camp Nou, they need a draw (0-0) in the 2nd leg to ensure they qualify for the next phase.

What happened to Borussia Dortmund
The 2-4 defeat at Signal Iduna Park was a very painful blow, especially since Borussia Dortmund became the seeded team in this match. This match incised a red record for Dortmund, because this is Dortmund worst defeat while competing in the Europa League.
The defeat against Rangers is the responsibility of all Dortmund players, they need an improvement in the second leg to get a ticket to qualify for the next phase.

[JollyGood]

I make Napoli favourites to qualify for the next round. Rebuilding and moulding Barcelona will take Xavi several years, Barcelona are no longer a powerful European team on the same level as Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and even Real Madrid.

Considering this is European football and many strange things have taken place before, I would not be surprised if Dortmund win 0-2 in Glasgow to make it 4-4 on aggregate. Ranger are not through yet because this Dortmund team can still be a force even though they are not playing well right now.
