UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

I think Xavi's main goal is not to win the title. His main goal is to stabilize the Barcelona team. and continue. Because under Koeman's leadership, Barcelona were in complete disarray. There was no consistency in their performance. There was no specific match strategy. Xavi has been trying to stabilize the team since taking over. And if Xavi can make the team stable and consistent then winning the title won't be difficult for Barcelona. Strong in the Barcelona squad. All the players in the team are very talented. So I think that the consistency of performance will really win them the title.

I think Xavi Hernandez wants to achieve more than that for Barcelona this season, I honestly feel it has to do more than that he's had winnings and positive results so far this season even if some of his important players especially in defense have been absent when needed. Xavi Hernandez has stabilized the squad last season to an extent, but he got a bit unlucky with this injured players.

But then, nothing feels good like being on top of the league standing as Barcelona maintains the top spot after all of those setbacks, they have still been positive. Xavi Hernandez should do all he can to win a trophy at least to boost the board and squad this season, nothing would please me more than seeing Barcelona emerge as the Champions of La Liga at the end. They deserve it, don't they ?

 Although, I'd hope the board open room for some quality names to slide innit the club at the re-start of the Transfer window.

Europa league still means nothing for the fans. it has been two times for barcelona to be kicked out from the champion league. As a team with so many expensive players this time playing in europa league must not even worthy. Im sure laporta will prefer barcelona to play in the quarter final of champion league rather than europa league. There are so many things why even laporta itself didn't like to see barcelona to play in the europa league as there are various reasons like the income from playing in europa league was pretty small compared when you are playing at champion league

This is true only if we are talking about top clubs. For everyone else, any title is important. Even the Conference League - remember how Roma fans and Mourinho himself were happy to win last season? That is why, year after year, we see that the "big" clubs mostly lose to the smaller ones, as these small clubs have the maximum motivation, and the top clubs are more likely to think about the national championship and the Champions League next year.

You're making a clear comparison that's clearly a different level between the Champions League and the Europa League. Any club if they could choose would choose to play in the quarters of the Champions League instead of having to play here. The Europa League is the second tier of club competition in Europe, and it is the same as the second tier of the domestic league. No wonder the Europa League is not as attractive as the Champions League which is a very prestigious level.
But it's true that it depends on the situation of the club itself. If you are a top club then you will not be too happy to be here, but if you are an ordinary club then playing in the Europa League is an achievement especially if you are able to become champions here.

The level of the Europa League has increased a lot after the teams from the Champions League have come here. It has got close to the Champions League I mean. There are really powerful teams in this round already. The number of favourites for the Europa League title has also increased quite much.

For now just as they are my favourite, Arsenal are the biggest title contender according to bookmakers. Barcelona and Manchester United follow respectively. I'd like to see Barcelona eliminating the Red Devils. And a finale like Arsenal - Barcelona would be amazing.

Eliminated teams in the Champions League carried the quality of the European league to different levels.  Teams like Juventus and Barcelona came.  There are also favorite teams for the trophy like Manchester United and Arsenal.  This year, the Europa League is like the champions league.  It has become a tournament that attracts everyone's attention.

Yes you are right
thanks to the defections of the other tournament strong teams have come here, such as Juventus and Barcelona who raise the quality of the matches
and as a result the games become fun
without considering that they are followed by many fans (like me) who can no longer watch the Champions League (for this season)

The many big teams that fell from the champions league actually made competition in the european league now quite fierce, how could it not be, this season for the second time we will see barcelona return to play in the european league, as well as juventus which is one of the big clubs specialist champions league will compete in the second caste of the European league this season, the existence of these big teams has certainly made the European league this season no less fierce than the champions league because it is possible for us to see bigmatch matches later.

Yes, you are right. But teams like Barcelona, ​​Ajax, Roma, Juventus and Manchester United and several other good teams still have to fight to get past the playoff phase so it is not certain that they will be able to reach the last 16. It's possible Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Roma and Ajax qualify at this stage for the last 16 and if that's the case then the competition in the last 16 of the Europa League this season is really tough.

But now all the teams may not have the focus on this match because the World Cup is very close. I will be looking forward to some big matches in the Europa League this season because I think the competition for the title will definitely be very good compared to last season.

Yes, the Europa League now has teams no worse off than the Champions League. A lot of people think that Barcelona will definitely play in the final, but I think they can't handle the busy schedule of La Liga at home, where they also have to fight for first place and the Europa League. Barcelona are in good shape, but I don't think they are ready to work hard yet.

Barcelona are in good shape, but I don't think they are ready to work hard yet.

Never say that to Barcelona fans because it is very possible for them to take your assumptions about the busy schedule at Laliga as bulshit. I think all the teams will be same busy in the league including the teams playing in the Champions League. If they don't lose focus on any of the competitions then I don't think they will miss their chance. So never underestimate anyone and how they struggle to overcome problems to be the best.

For example Arsenal, they will also be very busy maintaining their position in the Premier League. Manchester United are busy trying to get into the top 4. Juventus are busy trying to stay in the top 4 and all the teams competing in the Europa League have other competitions that are just as busy. So it's not only about Barcelona.

[SirLancelot]

Even though Barcelona is playing in the Europa League it is not a guarantee that Barcelona will be easy and also, last season even Barcelona were eliminated quickly by Eintracht Frankfurt. So, playing in the Europa League is still not easy for Barcelona to win the title, but if Barcelona can win the title it is basically still better for them than nothing.
Because to win a title in the highest tournament like the Champions League is indeed difficult and not easy for every team to win it, so Barcelona should be able to understand this more and keep targeting to win another title this season.

I personally am not too confident that Xavi will still be appointed as Barcelona coach next season, if this season Barcelona doesn't win any titles then maybe Xavi will be fired.
Because Barcelona has made great efforts to bring in many luxury players with a difficult financial situation, but they are still difficult to win titles so the only way is to get a more appropriate coach.

I think it would be different this year, last year it was the first days of Xavi, he managed the team for a month or two before they had to play Frankfurt who eventually won the whole thing, which means it was difficult for them.

This year, it is still not guaranteed that they would win it, maybe United would eliminate them as well who knows, but this year Xavi has been managing the team for a total of nearly one year when they have to play United, that would mean that he would have the chance to establish his tiki taka back again, and that could result with a better result this time, because the strategy will be set. This isn't guaranteed of course, they might end up losing again, nobody knows.

you are right The teams competing for the title in the Europa League this season are all looking to do well in their respective leagues. Barcelona and Arsenal are aiming for the league title. On the other hand, Juventus and Manchester United continue to fight for Champions League qualification. So the Europa League is probably the second priority for all the teams. And so it cannot be said for sure how the teams will perform in the Europa League.

And so it cannot be said for sure how the teams will perform in the Europa League.

Now it is assumed that the Europa League is not too prioritized for big clubs, it seems that this season is a little different because of the pressure that is on the Europa League by looking at the clubs that are currently contestants, it is clear that it will definitely be exciting and of course it will bring in quite a lot of money.
Especially for Arteta, Xavi or Ten Hag this can be proof because the club they are currently training needs proof with trophies, especially for Barcelona and Arsenal who have spent quite a lot of money in player transfers.

Some of them were big clubs that have bad performance during last season and the rest were clubs coming from champion league caused by they would not able to pass into the last 16. Im still feeling doubt about the performance from those big team.
They were at the europa league caused by they were not able competing with the team that were currently battling in the champion league. I see this competition is only a training for the one who will be qualified for champion league for next season.

[Docnaster]

For example Arsenal, they will also be very busy maintaining their position in the Premier League. Manchester United are busy trying to get into the top 4. Juventus are busy trying to stay in the top 4 and all the teams competing in the Europa League have other competitions that are just as busy. So it's not only about Barcelona.

And so it cannot be said for sure how the teams will perform in the Europa League.

We cannot say that Europa is not a major priority for some  big clubs.
Using Manchester United as an example, you will understand that Manchester United is trying their best to get into the top four of the English Premier League in order to be able to feature in the next Champions League.
But the battle in the Premier League is so hot that Manchester United need to shift their attention to Europa in order to have double chance to come to the Champions League next season. Either as top 4 in EPL or champions of Europa

[Spack17]

I can also agree about the point that Arsenal's priority is to win the English Premier League title as they have the chance for it. However they have still been very successful about balancing their domestic league and the Europa League both. Maybe it might be due to having an easy group here. But they look like they really want the Europa League title too. They are doing the right thing also because Arsenal are not a team that win championships in big tournaments regularly.

Therefore my biggest favourite team for the Europa League title is still Arsenal.

Some of the big teams that collapsed in the Champions League, because they lack preparation for the competition. in the end, they had to drop down to the Europa League. Barcelona, ​​Ajax, Juventus, Rome, Manchester United, must fight their way through the playoffs to win a ticket to the round of 16 later. clearly, the competition towards the round of 16 will be even more exciting because it brings together big teams. One of them is the Manchester United vs Barcelona match, which will ensure that the two teams will appear all out to fight for a ticket to the last 16 of the Europa League.

so in the last 16 of the Europa League, it looks like it will be even more competitive if the teams that failed in the Champions League manage to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League. with the league paused due to the world cup, I think it will be an advantage for the teams to prepare everything to face the playoffs later after the world cup.

As long as they can afford it why not.
and indeed the proof now is good enough for them, especially with the performance they always do, of course this is something very good.
They have exceeded my expectations this season. They can indeed if you see from the pre-season and their performance last season but this change is too big in my opinion and it really opened my eyes more openly sometimes there will indeed be extraordinary surprises for the EPL.
Now they only have to maintain the consistency they have in order to continue to play well.

don't be so harsh
modern football is very stressful, players play (in my humble opinion) too many games
it is obvious that you have an athletic decline if you play league or cup
any athletic plan can't handle this pace of play, we all know it.. I always say it myself

better fewer matches and more quality, but those who sell TV rights don't think so

From all these big teams mentioned here it is clear who the favorite is and based on their performance I think it is Barcelona.Barcelona was in a difficult group,much more difficult than that of Juventus and thus they are here because of that while Juventus is here because of their own mischief that they were not able to win against Benfica and Maccabi Haifa which is truly a nightmare for a team like Juventus.

Ajax was in a very strong group also but their quality lacks that of Barcelona and thus for me they are not favorites to win Europa League this year.However I don't exclude English teams like Manchester United and Arsenal as also clear favorites to win the Europa League.

If you can win 2 tournaments at once why should you choose one, maybe that's what Arsenal is thinking about right now. It is clear that any team would not want to miss the opportunity to win the competition they participate in, especially since they have been made the favourites, I think they have to answer that belief with an achievement and they have shown that they are serious about participating in this tournament.

Applying more focus on each competition that the team participates in, as in the Arsenal example, is not wrong, moreover it can be more than one competition as long as Arsenal have the ability to make very good achievements this season. Because usually a good opportunity never comes twice to the same team when the team starts to rotate their players in the next season. So it would be better if Arsenal were able to get more than one trophy in different competitions this season.

This season's Europa League smells like the Champions League, a surprise occurs when there are more big clubs in the Europa League than imagined. What caught the attention of football fans the most in the Europa League was the game Barcelona vs Manchester United. These two clubs competed more frequently in the UCL in previous seasons, due to their inconsistent performance which forced the two of them to fight on the ECL stage.

Apart from Manchester United and Barcelona, there are other big teams like Juventus, Arsenal, Ajax and several other big teams who are ready to give competition in the ECL this season. If the big teams make it to the quarter-finals, this season's ECL feels like UCL. The final will also be more exciting when compared to the last few seasons.
