UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[snipie]

There was no sign of the usual Barcelona which play dominantly in their home matches. Manchester United were able to keep the match balanced and this was a big help for them.

Barcelona is playing better in La Liga and vs Spanish teams than in other competitions.
I won't be surprised if they were sacked from Europa League in the second leg, especially that ManU playing home and doing good from a while.
Roma defeat vs Salzburg was unfortunate for Mourinho side, it appears that his days in Roma won't be much if his team leave UEL and get a bad position in Serie A..

[ShowOff]

This match is very fierce and sure enough the final score is very difficult to predict. Both teams appeared with their best performance and the performances of the two goalkeepers were equally good. Ter Steigen made some important saves, as well as De Gea, so it was the most impressive match at Camp Nou today.

I expect the same to happen at Old Trafford next Friday, so neither should be the favorites if both teams perform like this. Both are equally good, but both are equally chaotic on defense. A draw in the second leg can be expected, especially for those who want to bet on it.

Manchester United will be ready at Old Trafford waiting and Barcelona would be without Gavi and Pedri two of them creative midfielder's.
At some point, I was smiling for Erik Ten Hag using Wout Weghorst as a number 10 tactically in the game.

Gavi was absent due to accumulation of cards, but Pedri had a problem with his thigh and was taken off in the first half. I think this is bad news for Barcelona because these two young players are the best talents Barcelona have this season.

But in any case Barcelona must always be ready for any situation in the second leg even if Pedri is worried about getting minutes, he will have to receive treatment for a few days and I hope it won't take too much time. If Pedri should be out then I think Xavi could try a 4 midfield where he should change his strategy to 4-4-2 flat. Xavi can play De Jong and Kessie in the middle, while Raphinha and Ferran can play on the wings. For striker has to belong to Ansu Fati and Lewandowski, and it looks like a good strategy to try.

I thought Red Bull Salzburg and Roma and Ajax and Union Berlin would be goal games, but so far Shakhtar and Manchester United have managed to score some goals in parallel games. But Manchester United got lucky with the second goal. I don't know if Barcelona can finish the game with a draw, but all the talk about them being stronger than Manchester now turned out to be fiction.

Berlin scored a goal, but someone had a hand on the ball: no goal by VAR. After that the game was just boring. Salzburg against Rome was more boring, so until minute 88 and the only goal. Now I'm watching Juventus and there's been a goal. So for today, a bit more goals. At Juventus, Rabiot, di Maria, Vlahovic and Chiesa are finally playing together again from the start. Juventus will hopefully play in the Europa League for a long time this season, and Chiesa will hopefully score a goal. He was injured for a long time and has to be more successful and motivate his team mutch better.

Frankly, I expected Barca to win but they conceded 2 goals even though they took the lead. They should consider themselves lucky to have achieved the draw. This score turned into a big advantage for United. The rematch will be very difficult. Raphinha's goal was great. Both teams were close to the winning goal but missed too many positions. Ten Hag couldn't interfere with the game. If it weren't for the injuries, maybe we would have watched a different second half and the end of the match.

I thought that the form Barcelona is in was going to be difficult for Manchester United to handle, but they really took it well and did not disappoint. Rashford and Casimero are key components of this Manchester United side. Barcelona were lucky that Manchester United did not break the record of never winning at Camp Nou. The second leg will be tense, but Manchester United are in a better position to win if I am asked knowing the huge advantage they usually have whenever they play at old Trafford.

A disappointing score for Juventus so far. 1-1 at home against Nates isn't much use I think. Still all chances in this match, but if it remains 1-1, Juventus will have to watch out. In itself it was a good draw against Nantes. Sevilla does not care about the form in the Spanish league and is 3-0 ahead against PSV and seems to be 1.5 feet into the quarter finals of the Europa League. They will also have to aim all arrows at that. Incidentally, Sevilla is the most successful club in the Europa League, there are no clubs that have ever done better. What is especially great is that they managed to win this tournament 3 years in a row somewhere around 2015. I don't see them as favorites, but anything can happen in any match of course.

The game was as thrilling and tense as a Champions League final. To make the game more interesting, many people wished it had been played in a later round rather than now. I wasn't underrating any of the teams in the game, but I never had complete faith in Manchester United to make it difficult for Barcelona to get a draw or a win. I was completely blown away by Manchester United's performance today; they far exceeded my expectations. They will now be considered one of the favorites to win the Premier League title.

A very good match was made by Barcelona and Manchester United because the tension was really good in this match, especially with goals that were very fast and one after another, it was a great match.
their conditions are quite balanced but this is clearly not too good for Barcelona because indeed for Leg 2 they have to work very extra to play at Old Trafford.
On the other hand this is also something good for me because at least in the Play off this time my multi went smoothly.

Yeah, it was a high-tension match. Moreover when the OG by Kounde that makes Man United was leading at first, this really made Barcelona little bit down. But, finally, at least they could draw the match 2 - 2.
If we see the statistic, both Barcelona and Man United did great performances, offensive, and also quite effective. Their defense was quite strong. We can say that if Kounde didn't do OG, Barcelona exactly becomes the winner. But, this is very unlucky for them because of the fault.

I was absolutely devasted that i missed the match after seeing the full-time results. I thought it was going to be a late kick-off

I was completely blown away by Manchester United's performance today; they far exceeded my expectations. They will now be considered one of the favorites to win the Premier League title.

But they have been performing well in the recent times (after the new year began) except for a few matches like Arsenal's but still you could see that there was an effort. I think Next season, Manchester United will be one of the touch teams to beat.

Yes, Barcelona only played well in La Liga matches. They are still difficult to get good results in international matches like in Europa League or UCL.
In this match against Man United, Barcelona can't play effectively. They waste an opportunity to win at home, Man United can steal a point because of the draw result. It will be a difficult match for Barcelona to play at Ol Trafford in the second Leg. Man United looks to be the favorite team to win in the second Leg since they will play at home. So, it is true that Barcelona may fail to reach the next round.

[boltz]

I would say United obtain a great result today against Barcelona and more than this they were able to control the ball more than I believed they could do. I also don't see Barcelona qualify further as United is really a strong team on Old Trafford and the club really needs another European trophy ...but so does Barcelona who won't go down without a fight.

Meanwhile , Juventus are struggling and they will draw against Nantes who are having the qualify basically in their hands next game.

[Docnaster]

A nice game between Barcelona and Manchester United which will end in a draw if no strange things happen. we have seen no less than 4 goals in the 2nd half. Did this duel deserve a winner? Actually both, so in that respect 2-2 is a fair result. But both teams will be happy with the draw, especially Barcelona because the rule that away goals counts double no longer applies. Barcelona and United have both been ahead once in this match. I think United are light favorites to go through if it stays 2-2.
Ajax - Union Berlin is a very disappointing ame so far with 0-0

I think Barcelona are unhappy anyway as a victory at Old Trafford is much less likely than today's chance. In general, after the first half, I was sure that United would not lose and most likely win, but in the second half the game became completely chaotic and both teams had chances. The score could have been 4-3 or 3-4 in either direction. But now United is a clear favorite in this pair, I will be happy to look at the quotes of the bookmakers which initially considered Barcelona to be the favorite.

Both teams should be really unhappy because they had a lot of chances to win the match and get a good start in the rematch. I think Barcelona was really unlucky in the end of the match the ball just wouldnt go in . Didnt expect such a good match but probobly the best football match i saw this year.

I didn't expect anything more than a draw from that match. The two teams are in very good form and they displayed very good performance but it was more of a big loss to Barcelona being the host team cuz I know how tough it will be in Old Trafford.
It's a bit suppressing that Eric Ten Hag made just one substitution in the game and was enough to keep the match in a draw state but Xavi made 5 changes but yet couldn't secure a win at camp Nou. Ten Hag is doing a great job.

It surely was a good game between Barcelona and Manchester United. I didn’t think the game would bring a lot of goals but it did. The goals were fast paced as each side seemed hungry for the win.
Manchester United did play a good game despite playing away from home and they successfully held Barcelona to a draw. I wonder how the second leg would go. I am inclined to say, with the performance of Ten Hags boys, I am somewhat confident that they might just win the second leg of the game.
It would have been nice if Manchester United had won, but I guess a draw is better than a loss.

[Balmain]

Rasford was not idle in barcelona tonight, he is truly one of the most fit forwards of recent times. He finishes well from difficult angles. Running reactions came to this level when added to a very fast good finisher. In the second goal, belonging to Rasford. He put his opponent to sleep, turned inside, threw it in such a place that any kind of goal would be. It was a good match, barcelona fought well, both teams were good, balanced. I was expecting a lot of goals and the response was like that.

[coinlocket$]

Only 1 -1 for Juventus vs Nantes, they got 3 posts but they don't count.

Everything is still open, and it will another shame if they will fail the qualification.


Also, a penalty is missing at the last minute.



No penalty, WTF

It was really a bad game shown by Sporting in their own home game, they even almost lost this match. At first I thought that they would win by a small score, but my guess was even wrong. Sporting had everything, from lots of attempted shots to 73% possession. But all of that has not succeeded in making them win. If there is no goal from Sebastian Coates in the final minutes of this match, they even have to lose this match. How lucky I was to place a +1.5 handicap bet on Midtjylland, LOL.

[nara1892]

Juventus vs Nantes and after being an eliminated by champion league now Juventus will fight to gets one placed on round of 16 europa league against tough team Nantes and i think Nantes is not weak team and probably will hard to beated because they had impressive records on Ligue 1 that Nantes passed 10 matches with only lose once i think as underdog status Juventus shouldn't underestimate them

But Juventus also in the good shape because they got 3 winnings streak in all competitions without conceded goals so this is showed Juventus can bounce back after poor performance period and i think they can win the match but my predictions is Juventus will win with slim scores

Their match was actually quite good and the domination was well deserved especially for some very good chances in the first half. it's just that it's a shame that Ludovic Blas' goal in 15 minutes of the second half broke their victory in this first leg.
Juventus got a lot of opportunities, but aside from the lack of luck, they are also still a little difficult to finish, even though both their wings and the central players, who were already quite solid when Chiesa was around, actually they should be able to score goals.

[Koal-84]

A very weak performance of Ajax Amsterdam against Union Berlin, normally Union Berlin should have won with 2 goals, the recognition because of hands can be accepted, but there were enough chances to win in Amsterdam. Ajax was frighteningly weak and had almost no compelling chances to score.

Given that Barcelona consistently defeats Manchester United at Camp Nou, I didn't think the game between those two teams would end in a draw. I bet on Barcelona to win against Manchester United but unlucky me that I lost my bet on it.
Barcelona and Manchester United have faced off seven times, with four wins for Barcelona, two wins for Manchester United, and today's game ending in a draw.
Manchester United played admirably to hold Barcelona to a draw in the game (2-2). I was surprised when they scored their first and second goals within 10 minutes of Barcelona scoring the game's first goal around 50 minutes of play
