UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[dataispower]

Given that the games will take place in February, the likelihood that Ronaldo will play against Barcelona is very small - it is likely that he will leave United in the winter transfer window. But in any case, this is a loud sign and an interesting game, if you do not pay attention to the formalities, then this is a game of the Champions League level.

I hope Ronaldo stays with Manchester United until the end of the season, that way he has a chance to play when Manchester United face Barcelona. Ronaldo has met Barcelona very often since he was at Real Madrid, this time he will play against Barcelona using a different jersey.

This match was a surprise in the Europa League, usually we see teams like Barcelona and Manchester United competing in the UCL stage, previously these two teams have also met in two UCL finals and Barcelona managed to become the winner in both final matches. After failing to take Barcelona further in the UCL making Xavi have to focus on the Europa League, last season he also failed to bring Barcelona to become champions after being defeated by Frankfurt in the final match.

No other team currently is really ready to pick Ronaldo into their system and also who will pay him same amount United are paying him currently, they will never consider it a good move. Playing Barcelona will be a good way to see how much United has developed and raised their game. Knocked out by Frankfurt last season, Xavi already said Man United is a very tough tie for them expect a win or draw for Barcelona

having Barca vs United, and Liverpool vs Real in this stage of these two competitions is a real jewel, although we will have less great teams in later stages
although, United is on their own to be here, they could win first place in their group and watching Sociedad sweating in this round

nevertheless, all pairs look interesting, especially Ajax vs Union Berlin (I would call Ajax to pass through) and Sevilla vs PSV, Salzburg vs Roma

For Europa League, there was an early final if we could say so between Barcelona and ManU. Imagine how lucky the other teams are! especially Juve, they should not have hard moments passing Nantes! Roma game isn't easy but they should pass too. The other matches seem to be random since teams there are fluctuating a lot even in their leagues..

That's like an early final in europa league everyone agree about that , it supposed to happened in the final but what could we do? It's not meet our expectation but the lewandowski vs cristiano duel would be interesting to watch.

The odds for manchester united now at 4.75 while barcelona at 2.25.

I agree with you, because their performance so far in this season show that the coach have to work hard before he will be able to move Manchester united to the promise land. Many people were expecting victory from them yesterday in the premier league competition but they lose to their opponent that made their points to dropped down, because they didn't prepare well like the way they prepared well to beat Arsenal with many goals.

This time the task of the Manchester United coach began to increase again because in addition to having to improve their own performance in the Premier League, Manchester United also had to be very prepared when facing Barcelona next year in the knockout playoffs. Because the match will take place at Spotify Camp Nou and it makes Barcelona's enthusiasm even more to get a win at home, but I also won't doubt Manchester United in the Knockout round because Manchester United will also try not to lose to Barcelona in the Knockout round.

That's why the draw is fair enough, imagine if the final is Manchester United vs Barcelona, the crowd will be huge since that's club has a lot fans. Many people will think it's rigged since they just want money and traffic. At least with this result, it make the other clubs has a chance to meet a big and popular club if they're win, this wouldn't make the semi final or the final is only both big and popular clubs.

There are some teams ready to pick him as long as he was going out from MU with free transfer status. These team would like to bring ronaldo to their team. There are some rumours about that. The problem is CR7 has not yet decided his future yet he is still looking for the new team.
Barcelona may be kicked out again from europa league like last season. I see no chance for barcelona to win this tittle for this season caused by so many big teams are also playing at europa league.
We have some top teams from EPL. This may become the main problem for barcelona. Xavi may come to the end of career in barcelona.

Honestly the final came too early. Europa missed it this time, imagine a final of Manchester United vs Barcelona. It may even pull more crowd than the man Champions league final. It is sad to see one of this two big clubs dropping this early.
If you remember very well, years ago it is Manchester United and Barcelona that makes the CL finals. Things have fallen apart.

this will be a very difficult game, I knew man utd will definitely meet a strong team but I never expected Barcelona. It will be huge investment for UEFA, they will make alot of money from the home and away game, more than champions league final game. De Jong man utd was pricing during the transfer summer will be playing against United, I'm sure he will like to prove a point in the game. Ronaldo will be playing against Barcelona again after he left Juventus, he scored brace against Barcelona in 2020 champions league knockout stage. This game is money making game for UEFA

@Lordhermes as a Manchester United fan I’m concerned, because we have a poor win record against Barcelona and thus I’m keeping my hopes low for these fixtures. Furthermore this match maybe a chance where Ronaldo can redeem himself, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he failed to score against them as his stats are bad while playing as a Manchester United player against Barcelona.

When a match like this happens in the Uefa Europa League, no one can believe it. The two teams, who met in the Champions League final in 2011, are now fighting in the last 32 round of the Europa League. I don't think being at this level in Europe suits either team. So it is pleasing from my point of view that one of the two teams will be eliminated. I hope the other team will be eliminated in the next round. They should not get used to the European league.

[yudi09]

I think if Barcelona wins it will be good for them. And if the match draws then the points will be shared between the two teams. I think Barcelona will win but it will be a little difficult for Barcelona. If Barcelona wants to play well in the match  By playing they can advance but for that they need to perform well in the match.

"If Barcelona win" then the points are for them not for Manchester United.
"If Barcelona draw" then they will get 1 point.
"If Manchester United loses" then points for Barcelona not for Manchester United.
"I think Barcelona will win but it's difficult". "I think Manchester United will be difficult to win." Obviously difficult because the 11 players Manchester United or Barcelona are not on duty just to stand on the pitch for 90 minutes.

Too many thoughts will make it difficult for us to breathe.

We must be clear in making choices. Because every analysis needs accurate statistical data.
The Barcelona vs Manchester United match is definitely a big game and it will be the most financially profitable match for all parties including competition organizers, clubs to bookies.

The draw in the play-off round is

And it's a meeting between Barcelona vs Manchester United which I think is the biggest game in this play-off. Barcelona failed from the Champions League to the Europa League and Manchester United had been waiting after failing in the group stage because they had to be willing to lose in goal productivity to Real Sociedad. And now they will meet again, from the statistics of the meeting, Barcelona is superior to Manchester United.

I was surprised to see that Barcelona and Manchester United were really rivals. This game will be really competitive as it is a knockout stage game. I consider both groups strong. But my personal opinion would be to put Manchester United ahead as they play much faster football.

It is likely that this will be worth watching, although there are still many who think that for a big club the Europa League is not too valuable, but for Manchester United and Barcelona this must still be taken especially considering Xavi's condition, which now clearly needs a trophy to survive.
On the other hand, for Manchester United, this must still be prioritized because it is difficult for them to get a trophy in the EPL so this can be at stake for the Europa League so that they at least feel a more competitive competition here.

For Europa League, there was an early final if we could say so between Barcelona and ManU. Imagine how lucky the other teams are! especially Juve, they should not have hard moments passing Nantes! Roma game isn't easy but they should pass too. The other matches seem to be random since teams there are fluctuating a lot even in their leagues..

Actually I can't say it's an ideal final because I'm still a little more confident for Arsenal than Manchester United if you look at his form this season. But on the other hand it's still a good fight because they haven't seen each other for a long time and they last met in the Champions League with different players.

There is also a possibility that Ronaldo will not face Barça. If Ronaldo transfers to a team other than Manchester United during the transfer period, there is no possibility of playing against Barça. The Manchester United v Barcelona match is considered an early final for the UEL. Indeed, this match will be the most challenging of these matchups. Whichever team wins can go to the final.

I agree with you, the news about cristiano will move clubs in the transfer market next year has strengthened, there is even a lot of speculation about which team will be where cristiano is anchored. even the hottest is the issue of Napoli being interested in buying cristiano. The chance of Cristiano not helping Manchester United in the match against Barca is very big if the news of Cristiano's departure continues to strengthen.

Even if he continues as a player of Manchester United, the manager may not play him. Ronaldo couldn't find much of the chance he wanted at Manchester United. He will probably be transferred to another team during the half-time transfer window. The biggest problem for this transfer is the salary. The team that wants to buy Ronaldo must allocate a large salary budget.

Absolutely! That Barcelona gets Manchester United is kind of unpleasant for the teams but also for the fans. We probably get to see at least Ronaldo start against Barcelona as that team used to be his biggest rival for a long time during his prime. Although it was more about Messi back at the time, I think he will try to give his very best and prove he is still on top of things by contributing to Barcelona's defeat. They start with an away game against Barcelona, which is a good thing for them. But I do think that Barcelona has an edge here because of their defense.

He will probably be transferred to another team during the half-time transfer window. The biggest problem for this transfer is the salary. The team that wants to buy Ronaldo must allocate a large salary budget.

If I'm not mistaken, there seems to have been a statement made by Ronaldo himself that he is willing to have his salary reduced if a new team is willing to sign him.
That means, the issue of salary is no longer a major problem because the problem is they or the big teams that previously wanted Ronaldo but finally canceled their intention.
One reason is, Ronaldo's declining performance and Ronaldo's attitude when he is more often on the bench is something of concern and consideration and makes the team that was initially interested in him then cancel their interest.

So yes, even so there are still some teams that have an interest in Ronaldo for example Napoli and maybe also Chelsea.
I personally don't really look forward to where Ronaldo will go because Ronaldo's ambition is very big for a title, I think it will still be difficult to achieve.
Because after all, there was a golden time he had but for now, I don't think Ronaldo has much of a chance to get it.

In fact, if Ronaldo, for example, actually joined Napoli, in fact playing at Napoli also does not guarantee him to get the Champions League title, because we certainly know that the rival teams in the Champions League are strong teams.
Likewise with the Europa League, Manchester United still cannot guarantee to win the title, reflecting from last season when Barcelona could rise up in La Liga but in the end they also failed in the Europa League.

If you remember very well, years ago it is Manchester United and Barcelona that makes the CL finals. Things have fallen apart.

It seems, this match is a tense match considering these two teams have a history of meeting in the 2008-09 and 2010-11 champions league finals, where Barcelona won 2 champions league final matchups.

In this playoffs, looks like a final match. however, if we compare between these two teams. for now, Barcelona is more prepared if we refer to the depth of the players, the pattern of play and the consistency of the performance.
As for Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag's troops are not ready mentally, teamwork, bonding between the players and the coach.  even so, Ten Hag still has enough time to build his team even stronger.  he has a lot of work to fix, especially in the Manchester United front line that lacks sharpness.  at least Ten Hag knew what he had to fix.

As for Barcelona, ​​Barcelona has quite impressive statistics in the domestic league. however, they struggle and tend to underperform if they play in other competitions, for example when they are eliminated in the champions league. both Ten Hag and Xavi Hernandez, still have a long time to prepare their troops for the playoffs later.

There is only 1 ticket to the 16 European League for both teams and the more prepared team will get it. Barca currently looks to be a better team than United. but in this decisive match, I'm not sure of many predictions. the reality on the ground can always be different. both teams I think deserve to be 16 big. unfortunately one of them will not get a ticket.

The meeting of 2 clubs which in my opinion the Europa League has prepared this match as a party. One club that failed in the Champions League and another that failed not to enter the Champions League were brought together so quickly to immediately entertain the Europa League to make it memorable. Man United vs Barcelona, both have prestige for each other, of course people can't wait to know the extent of the difference between the two. On the one hand, Man United has a pretty good coach but not ideal for his players. On the Barcelona side, they have players who are quite ideal but the condition of the coach is mostly always blundering in strategy.

But in any case, this is a loud sign and an interesting game, if you do not pay attention to the formalities, then this is a game of the Champions League level.

The rumors about Ronaldo moving away from Manchester United in the January transfer window were very strong, but I still believe it's just an uncertain possibility. Barcelona's match against Manchester United deserves to be called the most prestigious match between the two team, it reminds me of their meeting in the Champions League a few seasons ago.

Barcelona's current quality is good to be expected to play well against Ten Hag's side in February. But maybe Ronaldo's departure will make the team atmosphere a little different even though there is still a Madrid duo there "Casemiro and Varane" who are ready to put up a good fight for Barcelona.

I think the departure of Ronaldo will be good for both Ronaldo and United. At the moment, he does not fit into the Ten Hag scheme in the best way, plus they already had a personal conflict - why torture each other if there is an option to find a place where Ronaldo's game will fit into the club's usual scheme? And United will find a new striker they can count on for the long term.
As for the game itself, it will not become less interesting, like the Clasico, which has not lost its significance after many players of the previous generation left Real and Barcelona.
