UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[jack05]

It'll be like last season when they lost and got kicked out by German side
Maybe same will be repeated as Xavi don't have plans to defend the Europa League in anyway
Barcelona should focus on winning La Liga rather than playing too many game's for Europa League

I think otherwise, because in the Europa League they have a very good chance to win the title this season. They must not miss the opportunity that comes to them, because they have been fasting for the title. Xavi Hernandez must be able to take advantage of their opportunities here, La Liga must be the first choice, but they should provide a good portion of this Europa League competition. However now they were approached by a sizable opportunity.

Barcelona are now fully working towards becoming La Liga champions. Xavi is working more on the team's weaknesses. Because if Real Madrid is the opponent, you have to work very hard to win the match.

Barcelona's main target is absolutely the La Liga title. There is no doubt about it. Because the last time they won the La Liga title was in the 2018/19 season. Since then, Real Madrid (2 times) and Atletico Madrid became the champion team. However the Europa League is important for them this time also. Maybe even if they win both titles their debt won't be gone completely. But it would still be a nice help for them to make their finance better than before.

On paper they are one of the closest teams to win the Europa League title now. The biggest hindrances are Arsenal and Manchester United. Manchester United are even their opponent in this round and they have a nice opportunity to eliminate one of their biggest rivals already now.

[CryptoBuds]

This time it is different for Barcelona. The Europa League is going to be very important for them because of their financial condition. They have made many signings and there is even a situation for them like they might not be able to sign new players in January.
Considering this fact, they need to make as much money as possible this season. Maybe they didn't play much good in the Champions League. But I still think that they will fight for the Europa League title. Their priority is of course the La Liga title but I don't expect Xavi to focus on only that. Winning both championships would be awesome for them.

If the management of Barcelona were adequate, then they would not have made all these high-profile transfers in the summer. But they did, and little has changed. What can change if they somehow find the money for the winter transfer campaign? Even winning La Liga and the Europa League won't make them run a budget surplus, and they're heavily indebted.

I don't think Barcelona will add more players to the squad in the winter transfer window. Barcelona is now heavily in debt. Debt repayment is a big challenge for them. Now if they are not making enough money to add more players to the squad. Also, I would say that Barcelona's squad is much stronger now. They have no weakness in attack and midfield. However, the performance of their defenders is a bit weak. However, Barcelona has conceded only 5 goals in La Liga so far. But they conceded goals against renowned and big teams. And their performance in the Champions League was poor only because of poor defense. So Xavi will definitely want to strengthen their defense in the winter transfer.

Well, I agree with you, for me Barcelona is not in a position to negotiate any purchase of players, they do not have enough money and this is also something they also did, because when they bought all those players and a great anera because it was not much for spending, but if it is enough not to buy in these mometnes, or rather, after the World Cup is not the idea because they have no capacity and the team has not consolidated well, they do not understand much or really lack much, because the Level has not demonstrated it despite the fact that they go first in the league, but is aspirated as the union of Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Barcelona's current squad is very strong. Still they are not playing well. This is their failure. Barcelona is a renowned team. But their performance in the last two seasons has been very poor. And yet they have not achieved stability. They probably need more time to stabilize. They are not playing badly this season. However, their performance suggests that they have a lot of problems within the team. Barcelona will be stronger and Xavi will be successful only if Xavi can solve the internal problems. Barcelona's current squad is capable of beating any team. Now Xavi has to find his best match strategy. Xavi needs to find a match strategy that the players are comfortable with and can easily adapt to.

Let's wait for unusual performances in the Europa League this season from those on the list of clubs participating in the Europa League. For some clubs they have to play a play off match first, and for some others they have been waiting for their next opponent in the knockout phase. Clubs that are now seeded are also seeded in domestic leagues such as Arsenal and Barcelona. I agree they will put their domestic league first and after that they will put the Europa League. No wonder because many see that the Europa League is not more prestigious than their respective leagues.

Still not excited yet with Europe League right now because waiting with play off match result and several team qualify to next round trough first standing position finished waiting their opponent after play off match result. Loss bigger team early between Manchester United or Barcelona after both team face on play off round, I think Manchester United vs Barcelona happening at semifinal or final stage but failure finish on first standing make United have been in play off round before qualifying to next round.

Arsenal have consistency performance on domestic league in this season and have favorite lead to final in Europe League, still don't know about who opponent team for Arsenal on next round and I won't if big match happen on early stage.

[FanEagle]

There will be no change once they will come from world cup. the only thing that will give a huge change is once some players from arsenal will be bought by another team. this will force arteta to make a new rotation and this will also change his strategy for arsenal. There will be lots of change to happen in the europa league next year. im sure that if we will see so many new names come to the various club that participated in the europa league. it's potentially to see the new name that will come to the barcelona as well. it's just the matter of time as so many club and arsenal have been making some preparation.

I do not think that Arsenal players could be bought right now, that’s not possible. First of all Arsenal is a rich club already, they are a leading Premier league team and that gives you a ton of money to begin with, secondly they will earn a whole ton more because winning or even being second would give them too much money as well.

So, they really do not need the money asap, it would be weird to sell players at this point of the season, if they really really want to sell then they could end up selling during summer and still make a lot of money, and players form the club that became champions in premier league would worth a lot more than a team that is "leading" the premier league at half of the season.

[Raflesia]

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.

The main goal of the big clubs is their league title and the Champions League. But this season is a little different. Many big clubs are now performing in Europe leagues. But still the main sign of every team is its own league title. Barcelona and Arsenal will be looking to secure their league title. And then they will want to win the Europa League title. But as a common spectator we would definitely like to enjoy a competitive league.

Actually there are other things that they are also after because if they really want to win and the top 4 is difficult to achieve in the domestic league then indeed one of the other advantages of being a champion here is a direct ticket to the Champions League so they keep waiting for that and it was proven to Frankfurt in the season then.
Champions League, as its name implies, is a place for champions, so it's quite natural that a lot of people want to be there.

You are right about Manchester United and Barcelona, their meeting was rushed because they had to beat each other in the play offs. Ideally they meet at least in round 8. However, Manchester United's failure to make a comeback in their last game saw them have to go through the play-offs first, and unfortunately again the draw indicated that Barcelona would be their opponents. . It will be one of the biggest matches in the Europa League this season despite taking place in the play-offs.

Barcelona are now fully working towards becoming La Liga champions. Xavi is working more on the team's weaknesses. Because if Real Madrid is the opponent, you have to work very hard to win the match.

No doubt since europa league was not a good trophy to be won and barcelona potentially lose against another team and then the only trophy that is still possible to be won by barcelona must be la liga. It's caused by it needs only to be consistent to win any match to win this trophy unlike once you are competing in the competition like champion league or europa league where you must working so hard to win against another team to make sure if you will be going step by step to the final and got the trophy.
That's why xavi was focusing to win the la liga for this season caused by it's his chance to not be sacked by laporta. His performance was the worst in the history of barcelona.

[Velvet78]

I think you rush with it. Saying that Juventus and Barcelona are strong teams who will become champions, even though it's true, you have to remember that they also have to go through a Play off first. Apart from that, don't forget that Arsenal are ready to wait in the last 16, so to say that no other team is aiming for the championship, I think it is a big mistake.
Not to mention that there are surprise clubs like Betis or Freiburg which incidentally are strong in the group phase. does not rule out the possibility that this season there will be unexpected things like when last season Frankfurt, which was not the underdog, managed to lift the trophy.

You have made a good point there. Frankfurt were really not one of the expected teams to reach the title in the previous season but they did it. The Europa League is always open for a surprise because of that. On the other hand we have witnessed big teams winning the title most of the time as well. Frankfurt just finished this series. I know that Villarreal also won the title but they were already one of the strong teams in that season.

Honestly I don't expect a surprise this season because there are even more big teams in the Europa League compared to the previous season. One of them will be eliminated certainly after the Barcelona - Manchester United matchup though but there will still be many left.

Honestly I don't expect a surprise this season because there are even more big teams in the Europa League compared to the previous season. One of them will be eliminated certainly after the Barcelona - Manchester United matchup though but there will still be many left.

The Europa League has become as competitive as the Champions League this season. Several Renowned teams are performing in the Europa League this season. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win the title. However, a team between Manchester United and Barcelona will be eliminated in the next round. But also big teams like Roma, Ajax, Arsenal, PSV, and Juventus will play in Europa League. And so it is very difficult to say which team will win the title.

[KTChampions]

Ten Hag played too much in personal showdowns, but Ronaldol is not a boy to endure in silence. Now Ronaldo is leaving United in the winter window (I'm 99.99% sure of that) and I'll see what excuses and "person to blame all the trouble" he comes up with if United continue to show an average game. In general, after Ronaldo's interview, it is clear that there are systemic problems in United and their results are natural. The club has lagged behind advanced competitors, but the owners are not very worried about this.

It's strange that the owners of the club don't even want to change, it looks like they like the way things are, the team plays poorly, doesn't have good results, and cristiano ronaldo had a lot of courage to say something obvious, I don't know why the club does not change. they can see a good example coming from newcastle, they can see a good example from city which are clubs that were bought and have good results and play well. with this fight between ronaldo and the club it is already guaranteed that ronaldo will not play again for manchester united after the world cup, almost all tv commentators are talking about it

It is not known for what purpose United was bought. Maybe the owners thought it was an oil refinery type asset where the pumps needed to be changed occasionally and it would continue to generate titles and profits so they didn't make sure United kept up with the competition. Maybe they were waiting for the Super League, and now that this project is probably over, they have no motivation to deal with the club (by the way, the sale of Liverpool fits well into this theory).

Beside Barcelona's main target with La Liga trophy I think if can get double trophies between La Liga and Europe League give more confidence actually with Xavi Hernandez after failure at first season without any trophies yet. I think  Europe League still priority by Barcelona how ever most important with La Liga after last time winning on season 2019/2020.

I don't think easy with both trophies for Barcelona between Europe League or La Liga based on many compete team at Europe League like Arsenal, Juventus and have to win at play off round against with Manchester United.

Lead 1st standing position on La Liga with 2 points remaining from Real Madrid I don't think Barcelona without any problem yet later consistency on the top standing, actually Real Madrid have come back mentality winning and become problem at least Madrid get back to the top standing.

Actually, I hoped that Barcelona vs MU would meet in the finals, but in fact, we met in the play-offs and this will be a test for MU, because if you meet a Spanish team, it's always difficult.
I see that many goals will be created in this match, because both of them are playing openly, with almost the same concept, especially since Ronaldo and Lewa are playing on each team

It would have been a worthy final but I think UEFA were wary that it could have failed so they saw the opportunity to fix it now. Man United will need to change there pattern because they have usually been poor against Spanish team. But with Ten Hag usually setting his team to hold possession, Barca will also find it hard.

Ronaldo against Lewa, really? Are u not following the recent saga between him and the club. I don't see him in the club till that time but we still have to wait for the club statement though. But it will be fierce battle between the two teams. Particularly United need the Europa league tittle this season more

This is going to be a very tough match; we had hoped that it would occur between the quarterfinals and the finals, not right now. We were surprised by how quickly it arrived. Barcelona struggled mightily in the Champions League, and as a result, they were forced to play in the Europa League.

Manchester United gave it their all during the Europa League group stage matches, but they fell short of winning the group. As both sides will have a significant break due to World Cup games, the clash will become unpredictable going forward. The performance of each team on the field after the break will determine the result of this game.

They don't consider Ronaldo to be one of the key players in the majority of victories they've had, so with or without him, the team can still compete against a team like Barcelona that has Lewandowski on their squad. The match won't be affected by Ronaldo's absence since, in my opinion, Manchester United is still a worthy opponent that they should be on the lookout for. Let the squad keep its attention on winning the title rather than placing all of its expectations in one player to prevent disappointment in the end.

it is good to understand that any of the teams between Manchester United and Barcelona stand a chance to win in that match.
I have read where the Barcelona coach Xavi said that his target for this season is two titles, the La Liga title and the Europa League title.
He needs to understand that the Europa League title will not be that easy for him because Eric ten hang now has good challenge in Manchester United to prove even after Ronaldo interview and social Media problems.

Manchester united are used to playing Europa so it shouldn't be a game that they will loose to Barca,the winner of this match determine who will win the game because the are the two strong big team I see in position of winning the cup.

Barca has good players and hopefully they are suppose to perform well in that match since Ronaldo will not be playing so it is an advantage for them. I see Erik Ten Hag willing to do everything to make sure Manchester wins the match but what really matters is that there must be a winner. I don't think Barca will win two trophies this season

Yes, that's a change that Erik Ten Hag brought in the Manchester United game, they can hold the ball longer at their feet and regulate the rhythm of the game. But Barcelona is the better club to do possession of the ball. The thing that some people want to see their match in the final will not happen because they will meet in the play offs and have to beat each other.
Cristiano Ronaldo can almost be said that he will actually leave Manchester United, although we are still waiting for a clear decision, but with the current affairs it seems confirmed, but let's see the drama now.

It doesn't look bad for Manchester United when they meet Barcelona later. Xavi and his team in leg 1 had to fly to Old Trafford for this match. Erik Ten Hag still has pretty good stats this season, apart from the lack of harmony between him and Ronaldo at the moment. What is certain is that Barcelona will always be superior, but it is possible that Manchester can win, still waiting for Garnacho's performance this season, who is often dangerous in the opponent's defense when he comes on as a substitute.

There is no doubt about this competition because both teams are under development with Barcelona is surely at better position with now they are leading La Liga and their performance is improving quickly instead of Manchester United which is having few on and off the field issues but here in UEFA Europa Cup their performance is good, and they are also doing hard job for winning this competition and Eric Ten Hag is also doing good job.

With the statement of Xavi they are looking for two titles may be OK but most chances they are focusing on La Liga because they are now having good chance for winning, and they want more consistency for this which mean they will be good in this and UEFA Europa Cup could be not their best priority as they have done in last season.
