UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

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.

I have always predicted that the game will end with a draw and nothing else, before now I know Barcelona will find the game very tough because Manchester United a team from the Premier league is not an easy team that Barcelona can easily play with. Manchester United performance was very impressive even if they couldn't make it a win. Barcelona really struggled to equalize the game , I think Barcelona was lucky to have equalize the game which I think Manchester United dominated the game more.

There are some interesting points for me in this fight. and yes, as I previously suspected that Ten Hag would change formation. and that was proven in this fight, with a 4-1-4-1 pattern, leaving Casemiro himself in the middle as a pivot. I really appreciate United's players, at least they were able to play optimally even though Ten Hag changed his formation pattern. meaning, United's players have really adapted to the system that Ten Hag has implemented.

Meanwhile, Xavi also didn't use the formation he usually used. exactly what I expected, that Xavi would use a 4-2-3-1 pattern. two pivots, De Jong and Kessie, Raphinha, Pedri, Gavi, as Lenwandowksi's supporters as the spearhead.Too bad, Perdri had to be taken off in the 41st minute due to injury. interesting, as I said before. This match will be very crucial for Barcelona's young players, it's evident, Gavi was a little frustrated in last night's game.

Overall, Barcelona controlled the game unfortunately Kounde blundered with an own goal. fortunately, Barcelona was able to equalize. next, the match in the second leg will be even more exciting. I hope the Red Devils play more openly when they play at home against Barcelona.

None was talking about PSV against sevilla. A bit surprised that my prediction was wrong. Sevilla can even defeat PSV with huge scores last night. Luuk de jong must become the player with the worst performance during the match between PSV vs sevilla. His blunders are unacceptable for sure. PSV shall not put him in the starting line up for the upcoming match next week. PSV has been trying so hard to cut the aggregate but all of its offers were useless. I don't even know how possible for PSV to win against sevilla in the next match.
3-0 is quite a lot to be surpassed for the second leg. PSV needs at least 4 goals.

It's quite the surprise indeed. Why ? Well , PSV are having one hell of a season and they were in godlike form before having this game but no matter who you are , you can never underestimate Sevilla , the queen of Europa League. I also don't see PSV have any chances left to qualify as like you said , they need at least 4 goals! 4 goals to qualify if Sevilla won't score any which I found hard to believe.

Juventus draw yesterday was not expected because they played very well especially on the first half and they scored early which should've made the game much easier this result confirms that juventus has mental issues but i think they can easily win in the second game still nantes team remain dangerous and better not understimate them.

It was clear that it was difficult for Barcelona to play with Manchester United, ten Hag built a good attacking team, probably one of the best coaches that Manchester United have had in recent years. Manchester United have proven time and time again that they play very well at Old Traford, as well as Barcelona at the Camp Nou. But I can't single out any of the teams in this match, both were very good and a draw is a fair result.

The performance was quite convincing for Man United. They were able to hold off Barcelona's iseri at the Camp Nou. Although they lost possession of the ball, they performed quite well. Casemiro and Varane became players who were able to stop Gavi.  I think Ten Hag are one step ahead because they drew enough at Old Traford. So I'm more confident Man United will qualify for the next phase.

Furthermore, it will certainly be a problem if Barcelona fail to qualify. Maybe they are hoping for the La Liga and Copa Del Rey to get the trophy. Even if it's just the Europa League, it's a matter of team strength.

I dont know how this isnt a penalty. Wtf is wrong with the refs today,how can you not give a penalty for this,its just dissapointing. Juventus should have won the match with this penalty but the refs made things for Nantes a lot easier. Juventus now needs to win in france

just a coincidence 2 big errors against Juve and Barca? can be, but the Superleague is coming soon.

It could not be only coincidence. This can be detected with VAR easily. It reminds me of arsenal's case. Even the referee himself has admitted if referee has made the wrong decision. It's very disappointing that two critical errors happened almost on the same day. Im sure that juventus and barcelona really disappointed with the result. VAR was actually BS.

Juventus draw yesterday was not expected because they played very well especially on the first half and they scored early which should've made the game much easier this result confirms that juventus has mental issues but i think they can easily win in the second game still nantes team remain dangerous and better not understimate them.

But in reality, in the second half Juventus still played with good control and mastery in the match but unfortunately, Juventus did not have a good chance to score the second goal. Also, I actually always worry about things like this, because usually when Juventus have a goal early, then they often reduce the intensity of their attacks.

But in that match Juventus didn't do that but unfortunately, Juventus only got a draw in the end. But regardless of these results, I hope Juventus can still make a perfect result in Serie A because in the next match Juventus will play away against Spezia.

Pretty interesting game between Barcelona and Manchester United. The Catalonian team started the match dominating the field and had some good goal opportunities, but United managed to get out of the bad situation in the second half after scoring two goals. Rashford scored the first one and had a crucial role for the second goal. He's in real good shape right now. Barcelona still trying to do their tiki-taka style, but they had problems in defense(mostly because of Kounde). United plays quite impressive football after "the Ronaldo drama". I would bet my money for United winning in the next game on Old Trafford.

I also think Manchester United can beat Barcelona in the return game. In yesterday's game, Barcelona were lucky that they were able to equalise at the end of the match. But Manchester United played better. After this game, though, Xavi can rectify the situation by learning from past mistakes. But I think they will still lose in England.

Both teams displayed an interesting game, I think this draw is a score that these two teams deserve. In the second leg later Manchester United will be more favored because they will play a home game. Seeing from their game in this match they played well, even though several players were missing due to injury. This is an opportunity for Manchester United in the second leg and also improve their record against Barcelona.

Because the results in their first leg were a draw, in fact these two teams also still have the same opportunity to get back up better in the second leg. But in the second leg, I think Manchester United will try as hard as possible to win because Manchester United also don't want to be humiliated at home by Barcelona. And from now on Manchester United are certainly very ready and aware of this that they will still face tough opponents in the second leg of the play-off round later.

The handball new controversial. Juventus deserves penalty against nantes. It's very disappointing to see juventus get drawn against nantes. I don't even know what's wrong with referee these days. So many times referee was not even giving penalty for juventus even though referee has been spending a few minutes for VAR. It seems like that VAR didn't even effective to make the game become fair. It's probably VAR that got manipulated as well. it's very sad for juventus with draw against nantes

[Jackl87]

I don't think Ajax was favorite in this match. Ajax may have played well in the group-stage matches. But now Ajax is not in good form. And this was proved once again in Ajax's performance in this match. Ajax's overall performance is very poor. Ajax players did not try to attack in the first half against Union Berlin. I have never seen an Ajax team play so badly defensively before. They made several attacks in the second half. But in the full 90 minutes, they were not able to make a single shot on target. Ajax failed to win this match due to the poor performance of the forward players.

Ajax was still the big favorite in the match against Union Berlin even though Ajax is not in a good shape at the moment. We should not forget where Union Berlin is coming from. They were a part of the second Bundesliga in Germany for many years before they managed to go up to the first Bundesliga only a few years ago. Usually such clubs are fighting to not be relegated down again during almost every season. Ajax on the other side was in the semi final of the Champions League not to long ago and they have almost reached the final back then.
Somehow though Union Berlin manages to perform in almost every game so far in this season.

After scoring goal in early minutes i thought Juventus will be more easy to take control and dominate the match but i was wrong because although Juventus playing attacking since the first half but Nantes can managed their defense besides that i would say Juventus really unlucky yesterday even crossbar has became an their enemy because 2 shots attempts from Juventus players were hitting the crossbar but Nantes goal were very outstanding for me because it comes from quick counter attack but at least Juventus didn't lose so they still have any chances to beat Nantes in the second leg

I thought bacelona  will win the game, because when bacelona played with real Madrid last season  in laliga they played very well, and win 4:0. and before the match start yesterday I thought bacelona will win the game because of their good performance last season. They tried to win but bacelona defense has been problem And Man united too play very very serious to win the game, they struggle seriously to win. Both teams played very well but man united performance was to good.The next game will be tough.

Manchester United playing against Barcelona in their best form on their pitch and they almost beat them shows how far they’ve improved and Ten Hag has made them a team that can go toe to toe with the best teams in Europe even though they’re still in the development stage. Barcelona prepared to cage Rashford by pushing Araujo to the side but Ten Hag played him Centrally and Barcelona’s game plan was disrupted and we could see how poor and disorganized they were in the defense. If Barcelona are to get through the tie against Manchester United, they will have to turn around their form in Europe.

Ajax was still the big favorite in the match against Union Berlin even though Ajax is not in a good shape at the moment. We should not forget where Union Berlin is coming from. They were a part of the second Bundesliga in Germany for many years before they managed to go up to the first Bundesliga only a few years ago.

Ajax on the other side was in the semi final of the Champions League not to long ago and they have almost reached the final back then.
Somehow though Union Berlin manages to perform in almost every game so far in this season.

To be honest this one is the hardest match to predict and if you ask me I can see Union Berlin is playing very well recently and they their racing in their league even though they are near to the first position while they are racing with Bayern Munich so I expect to see Union Berlin playing for victory with attacking style even against a team like Ajax while like the time they faced each other, they got a draw and none of them could win the game. A week left to start this game and I'm waiting to see this game because both teams are currently in a good situation.

 There was something I observed in the Manchester united Barca game last night which was the fact that in the first half, Barca dominated strongly and I was pitting them to win the half, but when second half came around, we started noticing some little flops and lack of coordination. Imagine Kounde even conceding a goal for Man UTD.
 I believe they will not want to mess this one up when they travel to Old Trafford in the return leg, I see a strong competition coming up because Erik is willing to seize any opportunity to ensure they win this leg if not is a good bye for UTD if Barca wins.

[emrecemsan]

To tell the truth I can't say Barcelona were bad against Manchester United. They also found so many goal opportunities to score and they were even the first team to score in the match. But the answers came too quick by Manchester United later on. Rashford's goal really deserved appreciation. Because he actually lost a good angle to score but he managed to do it anyway. The second goal was unlucky for Barcelona as Kounde targeted his own goal while trying to clear the ball.

Raphinha still saved a 2-2 result for his team anyway and I think there is nothing ended yet. I know how much hard Barcelona's work will be in Old Trafford. But they need to stay stronger there to have a chance for next stage.

If Barcelona are to get through the tie against Manchester United, they will have to turn around their form in Europe.

The game really showed everyone how much Manchester United has really improved. They could match Barcelona in their home ground, scoring two goals and come out with a draw in the end. Barcelona is a good team with amazing players and would have ordinarily crushed Manchester United in their old form.
I’ve always thought Ten Hag to be a good tactician. I would say the same as Pep of Manchester City. It’s obvious with the way he has changed the fortunes of the club. Manchester United has been playing in top form. Though like everything, they could do with some improvement to get better but I think they could still face any team in Europe.

Expected performance from Juventus. Because juventus was a great team few seasons ago but currently the team is not very good. I think Juventus needs to add some new players at the moment if the team is to get back into their rhythm.

Watching the game in the first stage of the Barcelona team, I thought that the Barcelona team would get a nice victory, but the Barcelona team managed to score brilliantly. But Manchester United also managed to pay the goal. Barca would have won if Barcelona had not conceded the 2nd goal from their own defence.

[ShowOff]

Because the results in their first leg were a draw, in fact these two teams also still have the same opportunity to get back up better in the second leg. But in the second leg, I think Manchester United will try as hard as possible to win because Manchester United also don't want to be humiliated at home by Barcelona. And from now on Manchester United are certainly very ready and aware of this that they will still face tough opponents in the second leg of the play-off round later.

It would be fantastic to win the match at Old Trafford, and Barcelona must ensure that for its mission to qualify for the last 16. I'm not satisfied with the first leg draw, and because of that Barcelona will have to fight hard in second leg to qualify. It's not easy to beat Manchester United at home, but Barcelona will try to make the most of their chances.

I don't think there is a favorite in the second leg, the two teams are pretty good form even though Barcelona lost their two best players "Pedri and Gavi". Xavi may be aware of what he needs to do for the second leg in order for Barcelona to qualify, but his focus now is on the match against Cadiz which is also at Camp Nou in the coming days.
