UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Google+]

Barcelona are trying to improve the foundation step by step, they have almost finished a good job after getting some new workers in the transfer market yesterday. Barcelona's biggest failure this season has been elimination from the Champions League, while in the Europa League they haven't been able to fully pamper their feet due to a big ordeal from Manchester United.

If for example Barcelona is able to beat Manchester United, Barcelona chances are still not fully open. There are still other challenges that will await Xavi's troops in the next round. The strength of the foundation must be increased immediately before the storm comes, Xavi must immediately find a good strategy to fend off one by one the storms that will approach them.

For the playoff match between Barcelona and Manchester United, I think the two teams will be difficult to predict. Ten Hag also managed to find good direction at Manchester United, while Xavi also found it at Barcelona. I'm not looking down on Manchester United and all the players, but I tend to think that Barcelona are more favorites in the Europa League than Manchester United.

Anything is still very likely to happen to both teams, they have to be prepared, but fundamentally Manchester United have certainly lost one of the best players from their squad. I wouldn't think winning either of these teams would be easy, both would be difficult although I think Barcelona are more likely to prove their quality.

I will judge the quality of the team from their slick performance in the domestic league because that is one of the factors the team will be stronger when they face important matches. between barcelona and manchester united i think these two teams have the same opportunity but on the one hand we will see the line up of the two teams before the game starts. hope that no players are injured before this match starts because both of these teams have the same ambition to win. Maybe for the second factor we have to see that this match will belong to the hosts where the first leg of the last 16 will be held at the Camp Nou stadium, of course Barcelona has a bigger chance to put pressure on the visitors in that match .

no one wants to lose before the match and will give their best game and this is definitely a very interesting spectacle and don't miss this fight.
agree that matches in the domestic league certainly play a role in how far they are prepared for matches in other matches, so barcelona can provide this illustration. barcelona will be able to give the same best game when they play in the domestic league, although it is not as easy as one might expect when they have to face a club like MU.
Once again, looking at several factors, Barcelona has greatly benefited and whether this opportunity can be used when it is available.

That's right both teams are very unpredictable, maybe we will see a surprise from Manchester United, in the winter transfer window this club can found a target player of Ten Hag. But for Frenkie de Jong it seems that Barcelona will not be released him to Mancester United with reason for get this tittle UEFA Europa league, if Barcelona is not successful this will be the second bad of drama for Xavi.

I think a lot of players are avoiding Man utd with all the drama about them, and Ronaldo talking sh** about their management and owners, I don't think they can get a decent player in the transfer market, Gakpo who was one of their main goals to get is going to sign for Liverpool, they have to fight with the players they have now, and it won't be hard for them, I actually think they have what it takes to win Europa League, Barcelona aren't looking that good as well.

Manchester United is performing poorly against strong clubs this year. I don't think they can win against Barcelona. This will probably be one of the most interesting matches. If Barcelona can beat Manchester United, we can probably say that they can win the Europa League. Especially since Barcelona is now playing better than Real Madrid in La Liga.

This game is unpredictable,  I feel anything can happen.  Despite Manchester united are not in a good shape, they are still trying to get improve. Manchester United with their current quality of performance they are capable in challenging Barcelona.  This is a game anything of the team can luckily win.

Even when manchester united was not in a good shape and i think that manchester has a big chance to win the game. Manchester united is slowly moving up again. The perfomance is not yet reached its best performance but i think that if the current performance from MU was equal to the barcelona. I will not even try to underestimate manchester united for now caused by it can make barcelona going back anytime. that reminds me when people were picking barcelona over frankfurt and did you know that barcelona lose against frankfurt?
that's the story of last year but that's still worthy to take some lessons if any team in europa league was also very strong at this moment too.

Manchester United and Barcelona are not different. How do you consider a club at second position in La Liga is weaker than a club at a fifth position in Premier League. If you don't consider Barcelona are stronger than Manchester United, you should consider them are at a same.

Chance to win for them is 50 - 50 for both clubs and I am exciting to see their matches in Europa League. In history, they met each other sometimes in Champions League and usually Barcelona did not bring happiness to Manchester United except a match United won with a long distant shot from Paul Scholes.

that reminds me when people were picking barcelona over frankfurt and did you know that barcelona lose against frankfurt?
that's the story of last year but that's still worthy to take some lessons if any team in europa league was also very strong at this moment too.

United even can lose when they met smaller teams than Frankfurt. About performance stability, both Barcelona and Manchester United are very bad in recent seasons.

Barcelona is just a few points ahead of their rival; real Madrid .with that their probability of winning the la Liga title is quite narrowed. Considering their proximity to winning the Europa league, u quite can't tell that they will be able to conquer the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, and others. Barcelona is currently having a defensive challenge, which is more like a house with a shaking foundation, and up till now they haven't made any step toward fixing it, instead, they keep adding aging players to the defensive line, which is quite unhealthy to the tax ahead.

Barcelona can do that but it must be even more consistent compared with real madrid. Barcelona has only a very small point gap to the real madrid. Real madrid can surpass it anytime. Barcelona will have a hard time to win the two title  for this season. THere's no guarantee barcelona can win la liga too.

Barcelona didn't have big gap with real madrid even leading the la liga will still give some worries about real madrid to be able to reach or even surpass barcelona. Barcelona may not able to win against manchester united. It seems like that MU is far stronger than before.

Their main striker which is Lewandowski will be absent in their coming match. Lewandowski has been generating goals for Barcelona this season,  his absence may cause Barcelona to drop in performance.

I saw that barcelona will not face any problem even though barcelona will be playing the game without lewandowski as its main striker. Barcelona has some players that are ready to be played in the starting line up. Is not it good for another player like depay to show if he still has potential for barcelona? i saw that as an opportunity for him although lewandowski was top scorer in la liga but it doesn't mean if depay was bad. It will be affecting the performance from barcelona as sometimes lewandowski was able to helping the club like saving barcelona when it was losing a few goals and made the match become draw. Lewandowski will absent for three matches which can be considered as a lot of matches.

Presently, I don't think Manchester United will be able to face Barcelona. they have succeeded in winning 3 matches only out of 7 and that's a prove of their weakness. Manchester United in their best form doesn't always find it easy to defeat Barcelona not to talk more now that their first-team players like Sancho, Varane, Martinez, and Maguire, are out due to injury. though FC Barcelona also has injured players, I think their second option is up to the tax than I view from Manchester United's side.

Even if all those players with injuries were back to play and maybe they will recover until the encounter it would make no difference.This year Barcelona is in top form compared to Manchester United which has not been consistent at all nor in the Premier League and nor in Europa League,they even had a lost game at home against Real Sociedad which is a much weaker team compared to Barcelona.Anything can happen because we are playing a 2 match elimination style in this phase of the competition and any team can bring up 2 good games but overall in normal circumstances it should be Barcelona that will go through.

I am a Barcelona fan. However, that doesn't mean I have to say they will win their match easily in the playoffs against United. as I said in many of my posts, there are many problems that occur in the Barcelona camp even though they are currently at the top of the La Liga standings. the problem is, I don't see chemistry and strong bonding between their players. plus, several players who were injured. one of them is, Ronald Araujo, who became a core player in defense.

I don't doubt Barcelona's young midfielders, but their talent and experience need to be dug deeper so that their game is more established and very creative. As for the wing, I like Dembele but sometimes he takes too long to dribble and he rarely helps the defense when the opposing team is attacking. Raphinha, this one player is good at the domestic league level but he is often too hasty and loses his performance when playing against tougher opponents.

On the other hand, it looks like we have to look at Manchester now and not Manchester United at the start of the season. I see their current game is more focused with a pattern of play that is already on the right track. once again I say, United's problem is on their front lines. United need a sharp pure sticker, and maybe in January Ten Hag will bring in some players who have good quality for their attack line. so, this match will be difficult for us to predict for now. at least, we will see these two teams play at the domestic level.

I don't expect Barcelona to fail again this season in the Europa League even though its journey to qualifying for the last 16 is never easy. Beating Manchester United was a tough task, I never thought it would be easy but this season Barcelona and their players seem more experienced than ever.

Even I don't think Barcelona's failure in the Champions League this season hurts too much, that's because I recognize the superiority of Bayern Munich and Inter in the group stages. But after that failure, I think Barcelona are looking stronger now and they have to do something in the Europa League. I believe in their ability and in their players, so there is hope to win and qualify even if it means against Manchester United.

Something that has become a big question in my mind is why Barcelona has always been in the same group as Bayern Munich in the preliminary group in the Champions League for the last two seasons. At least this is a big consideration for me too, because that way it puts pressure on Barcelona who are currently forming a team after Messi's departure so that they continue to get enormous pressure.
But indeed, Barcelona should still be able to finish as runners up in the Champions League yesterday but it seems, Xavi is still not able to make the team's performance as good as the team's performance in the local league.

Apart from that, Barcelona's situation and conditions this season are indeed better even though they were eliminated from the Champions League but unfortunately, they still have a difficult opponent in the Europa League because they have to play against Manchester United.
Because last season when Barcelona experienced an increase in performance in La Liga, but in the Europa League in reality Barcelona were still eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt. With these considerations, playing against Manchester United is not an easy job for Barcelona and I think their chances of winning are not very good.

No way. Although Barcelona is in a deep crisis, it is still a big name and minor tournaments do not matter in this case. Even in the Champions League, it's hard to remember all the teams that have reached the final but lost. We remember only the winners. For Barcelona, the Europa League is a "consolation" tournament and even if they win there, it won't change anything.

Barcelona management should have found a suitable replacement for Messi and then released Messi. Then they would not have to face such a bad situation. Now Xavi is trying to stabilize the team. We don't know when the Barcelona team will stabilize. Barcelona is out of the Champions League. Now they aim to win the Europa League and La Liga titles. I think if Barcelona can win the next match against Manchester United then they will be able to win the Europa League title.

I don't think Memphis Depay is bad, it's just that during this season he has rarely been included in the starting line-up because Lewandowski has filled that position. When defending the Netherlands at the 2022 world cup he did quite well and scored goals. Maybe here is the lack of playing minutes that will make everyone doubt if Barcelona chooses Depay as an option to replace Lewandowski in the main attack line. But I don't see that bad in Depay, he will still be good and offensive when needed.

Depay is not a bad player. He atleast once again proved  it as he played in Qatar. He was a moving energy to his country men. If I were to be a  coach and I need strength in football, I will definitely use Memphis because of his speed and strength.
I think the major problem is with Xavi. He doesn't know how to use these players and Lewandowski is inclusive.

that's the story of last year but that's still worthy to take some lessons if any team in europa league was also very strong at this moment too.

Here I agreed with few points about Manchester United and Barcelona because both were on same level and have good development in their respective leagues with currently Barcelona is at the top and Manchester United is at the fifth spot but surely things looking impressive in Manchester United because new coach is doing good changes which will help them for having better results in coming weeks and right now in current situation Europa Cup win is very important for the Manchester United because this will bring positive development and big change for their future.

Barcelona which were also last year slipped and lost against Frankfurt currently looking for title into La Liga which will be surely going to be beneficial for the Manchester United because they are having good players those can perform better in this match against Barcelona.

I am guessing that Ronaldo doesn't show what he used to show during the practice periods? Or the fact that he couldn't score much during the group stages and the other games as well? I get that he is the guy with the most goals ever, so I am not going to argue about his scoring abilities, dude definitely scored a lot of goals so far, but just because he did that in the past doesn't mean that he did it during the world cup neither.

Manager saw him missing chances that other players "may" score, and it worked well on the first game, but against Morocco that didn't work, and Ronaldo showed up later as well and he failed to, it is just reality that he doesn't score like he used to.

[Velvet78]

It is going to be really disappointing to see one of the biggest favourites of the Europa League being eliminated already. Barcelona and Manchester United should have faced each other in the later stages of the tournament. However it is good for us at the same time. Because the Europa League is going to be back with an amazing matchup which is like a finale.

It is quite difficult to be sure of anything about a side to advance for now. We should see how these teams will perform after this break first. Maybe one of the sides won't be able to continue from where they left off.

[Z-tight]

But I don't see that bad in Depay, he will still be good and offensive when needed.

Memphis Depay is not a bad player, but he is not so good either, he is kind of an ordinary player. He didn't score goals in the 2022 world cup, he scored only one goal, and that was against USA in the round of 16. He is rarely in the starting line-up this season because Barcelona bought many players that are better than him last summer, and Xavi no longer needs him as an important player in the team. I feel Depay should move to another team as soon as possible, if he stays in Barcelona he will only play when there are injuries to first team players, or when the match is not so important to Barcelona.
