UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[KTChampions]

It wasn't such a bad idea to try to build a fresh team to play with good team work without relying on Messi to carry the team. Indeed Barcelona's biggest flop this season was getting eliminated from the champions league, good thing they have another chance in the Europa league to rewrite the wrongs this season. If they can win the Europa league it could erase their failure in the champions league from the minds of the public.

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 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 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.

It wasn't such a bad idea to try to build a fresh team to play with good team work without relying on Messi to carry the team. Indeed Barcelona's biggest flop this season was getting eliminated from the champions league, good thing they have another chance in the Europa league to rewrite the wrongs this season. If they can win the Europa league it could erase their failure in the champions league from the minds of the public.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many regretted this, as Manchester United and Barcelona were thought to be more attractive if they met at the end of the competition, but it was the draw that came out that they had to play now in the play offs. It won't be easy for us to predict who will qualify for the next round, because apart from these two teams being big teams, they also have some weaknesses and strengths that are very visible this season.

Memphis Depay is one of the best strikers in currently in La Liga and agreed about his lack or playing time which is surely hurting because he needs more opportunities but due to arrival of Robert Lewandowski it's not coming with most chances Barcelona will also try to sell him in coming January transfer window but now things looking favourable for him in absence of first choice striker's injury which is good and most chances he will try his best for giving results and having better things about his future his performance in world cup was also good which helps Netherlands for having better results but now hopefully he will do again if Barcelona give him better time of playing.

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 think that if Barcelona is able to beat Manchester United it doesn't mean that they will be highly favored as winners of the Europa League trophy because every team that passes to the next round will definitely try hard to achieve their hopes of becoming champions. barcelona and messi have parted ways and it is a memory to be reminded of. Xavi and Barcelona management will find it difficult to repatriate Messi because Messi has accepted a new contract offer from PSG.

Barcelona can end their fast of titles if they are able to appear consistently in the Europa League and La Liga because Xavi and the Barcelona players have to make the most of these two opportunities.

Barcelona ever beat MU many times, in the last 3 matches, Barcelona always won. The last won in the Champions league 2019, but in that time, even won, Barcelona is not able to get the champions league trophy because lost versus Liverpool in the semifinal, which mean, MU is not stepped for them to get the trophy, but If Barcelona able to beat them in Eufa league 2022, step for champions is open because MU is one club who can able to stop them on next round, Lewandowski admits it.

yeah but so many people keep underestimating MU. I was learning from what happened with barcelona. The same thing was also happening when barcelona against intermilan. People think with the new squads of barcelona and lewandowski will make the team could win against intermilan easily but the fact that if opposite thing happened caused by barcelona lose from intermilan and it was going out from UCL. Lewandowski itself has a very big expectation to continue play in UCL but intermilan has been destroying it.
MU will become a team that may be sending barcelona back again to the la liga like frankfurt. Any team in europa league must not be underestimated. Mu is also doing so well in EPL too.

Statistically, Barcelona is superior, but Manchester United is a strong team.
If they want to win this match, Barcelona must bring out their best.
And to win the championship title, there is still a long way to go.
There are still clubs that can become stumbling blocks, such as Arsenal and Feyenoord,
who are currently at the top of their respective league standings.

The statistic said yeah barcelona is far above MU in any aspect but when we will see the reality and then statistic didn't matter a lot. It's caused by there are many aspects that will be determining the result from the match. Barcelona may be chosen by bookies to be the most favourite team for the next match against MU but i didn't forget if MU has been going back again to the its best form. Lewandowski must also aware if he will face casemiro again. That might be a disaster for him.
The current formation that owned by MU looks perfect from any aspects. Rashford was making MU even scary caused by he was always doing so many contribution to the team.

The meeting record can indeed be used as an indicator for the results of their matches, but that does not mean it will be a benchmark that the match will break with the same result as in the previous meeting. Especially now that the two teams are in a different phase from the previous meeting. Manchester United and Barcelona both have problems with their squads, and that might make their game much different. The strategies that the two trainers will apply will also be very much different, and as far as I know these two trainers have never had a strategy clash on the field.

Barcelona has demonstrated well in their past matches which will be one of the advantage they will use to improve their performance so that people will believe that they have the potential to move higher forward. If Barcelona can make their defense more stronger for any strong teams,it will really help them to achieve victory from all their matches which is the things their fans what to experience from them in their remaining matches. I don't think, Manchester united can achieve this title in this season, because they are more focus on premier league title than this UEFA Europa league title.

I don't think so, every team has a target to win the championship they participate in, as well as Manchester United who also have a target to win the Europa League this season.
Barcelona and Manchester United have the same chance to qualify, I say that after seeing the performance of the two teams this season, these two teams are teams that are improving to be better in the problems they are facing this season, I don't favor either one between them because it will be a very tough match and also of course it will be very interesting because both are top european teams.

Barcelona is very much favored in the match against Man United, even if judging the odds from the bookmakers it is very difficult for Man United to be able to beat Barcelona, and I think what Lewandowski said is just attitude not to underestimate their opponents, namely Man United,  even though I don't think it will happen Barcelona lose maybe a draw is more likely to happen, what Lewandowski said very well means that they will not let their guard down even though they are favored to win

Yes, the meeting of such teams at such an early stage is in general almost a "mini-final", but on the other hand will be less predictable other stages and the less strong teams will have a chance to at least reach the finals.
Last match against Nottingham Forest Manchester United played very well, dominating the whole game, almost no chance for Nottingham.

Although Manchester lost the last 2 games to Spanish teams, but this time it will be a game of skill, so Manchester will fight to the end and I think the chances to pass Barcelona are good.
