UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Frankolala]

Manchester United where going to go all out tonight, and remember they are playing from home, with the 7-0 trashing by Liverpool during the weekend they needed to win tonight game with big goal margin, Real Betis are not a small club seeing what they played against Real Madrid in their previous game, and another thing is Manchester United always find it difficult to play against Spanish side. Tonight win is a boast and a good way to respond to that humiliating lost against Liverpool last weekend.

Real Betis ain't no small team but today, they played like one. When they played Real Madrid, though you could see the quality of Real Madrid spread all over the pitch with Vini Jnr making a fool of himself by falling way too much on the pitch and dribbling more than necessary, the Real Betis team ensured Real Madrid wasn't the only team on the offense. In today's fixtures of Manchester United vs Real Betis, it was all Manchester United. Real Betis didn't have much of the ball and was more on the defense. I did expected a lot of aggression from Manchester United and that wasn't lacking in the second half. Ten Hag demonstrated his need to win by making halftime substitutes and Weghorst played more than an attacker would today. He was in the forward, midfield and had some good chance at defense too. Good for him, he scored in the game!

Manchester united has made the night a happy one for their fans as this match was used to console the club of the great lost they had last weekend. Manchester united took total control of the second half which made the team deserve to win the match.

Real Sociadad and Real Betis lost their match this night and it will be a look down on the Spanish teams. I could remember that it do take Manchester united going extra miles to win a Spanish team but this season things went the other way as Manchester united will kick out two Spanish clubs from Europa. Barca has been knocked out and Real Betis will also be knocked out. What a great job ETH has done in old Trafford.

Arsenal is the favorite in this matchup. I think they might struggle in this first match. But overall they should qualify,but if Sporting wins in their first match it would be really hard for Arsenal to comeback. But this is a big chance for Arsenal to get a big trophy

2-2 as the final result against sporting. That proves that if sporting is a club that can't be underrated. If there would be no own goal by hidemasa morita and arsenal were losing against sporting in the first leg. Arsenal was so lucky to have sporting player that made his own goal and that was helping arsenal to have draw in the sporting's home. The next match gonna be in the emirates stadium. This will become hardest thing for sporting to win against arsenal.

Arsenal acquired very big ball possessions and more shots on target but sporting can also make comeback even though it was using counter attack. What a surprise from sporting.

[Wiwo]

arsenal has a big challenge tonight and since this season began few months ago Asernal vs Real betis match today happens to be one of the kindly contented game and with a slime chance, Arsenal was able to make equalization goals after the first 2:1 record that placed Rsal be is at the winning position.

-But thank goodness the match actually ended 2:2/which is manageable for Asernal instead of a 1-goal defeat from Real tonight.

[SOKO-DEKE]

The game between Manchester United and Real Betis is about to end. Man. U 4 - Real Betis 1.
I think it's a stunning outcome for Manchester United. They have demonstrated that they have put their recent heartbreak against Liverpool behind them by defeating Real Betis. It's certainly admirable to congratulate them on their 4-1 victory. The second leg between the two clubs will take place at Real Betis' stadium by this time the following week. I anticipate Manchester United to play as well as they did today against Real Betis at home.

I already knew that Manchester United weekend poor outing vs Liverpool that made Manchester United to swallow 7 goals , 6 in second half will not affect Manchester United performance this night.
But many people thought that Manchester United would be affected by the trauma of Liverpool defeat.
It is just a total different match and different league. And Manchester United is doing great against Spanish teams this season.

It was really cleared to me before the matches started that Real betis may be a threat to Manchester united but Manchester united have more chances of winning today's. From my view if Manchester united defeated Barcelona i don't expect any special thing from any average Spanish teams towards Manchester.

I know with seven goals that Manchester united conceded from Liverpool last Sunday, many people thoughts that maybe Manchester united have lost form and think they may lose today again. Infact I saw many people that stake on Real betis to win the match.

With this 4 - 1 defeat I believe this have clear more chances for Manchester united to qualify for next round because I don't think Real betis will be able to defeated Manchester united with 3 goals in returning. So with four goals now I don't see Manchester united need to worry much like Arsenal that draw the game sporting CP

Good for him, he scored in the game!

Erik Ten Hag I think hasn't gotten the amount of praises he deserves from football media houses. He has done exceptionally well for this Manchester United team and has transformed the fortunes of the club and to think that he improved the performance of the team after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo is another big plus to him. The fans are enjoying the kind of good football they last enjoyed when Sir Alex Ferguson was their manager. He has been delivering good results week in, week out I think he deserves to be specially applauded for the great work he's been able to put in

I think the most interesting game for the second leg will be the game between Freiburg and Juventus in Freiburg. They are an outlier when you look at their success and the money they have available to be spent on salaries. As soon as they have good players other clubs come around and buy them and yet Christian Streich manages to put a team almost every single season that is highly competitive. This season in the Bundesliga has been very solid so far and because I think it is great to see clubs with less money to also achieve something big, I hope for them to win that game against Juventus next week.

As much as I like to see games with only big names, I also liked it how Frankfurt made its way through the Europa League last season when nobody expected them to have a chance against Betis, Barcelona, West Ham and the Rangers in the final. It was an amazing story and the fans were full of enthusiasm and the TV pictures were seen around the world.

[ingiltere]

Sporting CP isn't very hard opponent for Arsenal but it is not possible to win every single game for a team. Arsenal is favorite and they will play in their home ground. I hope Arsenal will be able to win against Sporting CP. Between the match of Manchester United and Real Betis, Manchester United is in good condition and they are also favorite by considering recent performances.

I think you underestimate Sporting, they are a great team and one of the best in Portugal. Of course Arsenal is the favorite here but Sporting is not a small club. They have a long history full of success. I was expecting a hard game for Arsenal and 2-2 score showed that. I believe Arsenal will advance at home though.

Manchester United got the advantage in first game, they will have no hard times in Spain next week. Real Betis can't recover from 4-1. I'm very happy for Weghorst. Finally he scored and that celebration was very emotional. Manchester United is the biggest favorite of this tournament.

Juventus managed to score a goal but it will be hard for them to win in the second game in away game.

They could just score more goals at home but they were not capable.

Yeah arsenal was able getting draw in the sporting's home. Playing away was giving arsenal disadvantage but arsenal was lucky enough caused by the own goal was helping arsenal to leave from the pressure by lisbon. Even though arsenal was dominating the match but it sounds like that arsenal faces so many difficulties against sporting. I think that the next game in emirates stadium gonna be a tough game for sporting caused by sporting must win against arsenal. Getting draw again gonna be a very bad result as arsenal will be losing caused by sporting was playing away.
Arteta must think so hard from the result in the first leg. The second leg gonna be even toughest than the first leg. Sporting will be going all in against arsenal in emirates stadium.

It was an impressive performance and good result from Manchester United,  I was just watching to see if the defeat by Liverpool will really  affect Manchester United in this match against Real Betis but Manchester United still actually did well like they never experienced any tough game recently.  It feels so good to see Manchester United performing very good leading with four goals, Manchester United are back to business to win their upcoming games.

The Europa League title is definitely winnable for Manchester United. They just need to keep their motivation as high as possible.

Arsenal is the biggest obstacle on their way for sure. But the English Premier League and Europa League are different tournaments. We never know what can happen. Manchester United have a good history in the Europa League in the recent years. They are doing a great job with Erik ten Hag as well. Their priority is of course the EPL but I think they would like to win at least one title this season while they are performing better. They have already eliminated one of the top favourites like Barcelona.

Well, when it comes to Barcelona, I know that many are surprised that they have beaten them, and of course it is because of all the trajectory that the team has, on the other hand I have to admit that Man United is doing very well, I am not capable of praise the work of Ten Hag, because he is a person who for me is not very human, perhaps because of what he did to CR7, although when I see the problem and the two versions, I am totally partial to CR7 because I know he is a very humanitarian,.

Man United have obtained very good results, and that is recognized, they also have very good players like Garnacho, Antony, Casemiro, Bruno, for me they are great stars, that is helping them a lot in the PL.

Few more days round of 16 will begin and for the first leg Arsenal will playing for away match and Sporting CP as a host and actually Arsenal had good conditions to starting this match and all of the players are in the good shape and ready to play and for Sporting actually at their domestic league Sporting performance isn't so bad but indeed for race title Sporting were very hard to compete with Benfica and Porto

Sporting CP was qualified to round of 16 after eleminate Midtjylland on play off matches with aggregate 5-1 and now they have to faced strong team in this competition Arsenal and on the paper Arsenal should be able to overcomes them considering Arsenal recent performance were better than Sporting and for first leg i am sure Arsenal will going to win the match and the odds for Arsenal has been provided @2.17

It is very interesting, especially to make a very good bet,as I said before, Arsenal for me is the team that has had the most recovery and I like the way they do it,if all the teams had the mentality of Arsenall they would be renewed teams Now, the performance that he has managed to have both in the PL and in the Europa League, will be very interesting when Arsenal vs. Man United collide because Man United and Liverpool stripped him completely,all the mistakes they have to beat him were evident, I really don't know what Ten Hag will think, but the one with the problem was not CR7.

Man Utd and Arsenal target had to search rubbish dumps for shoes as a child as remarkable rise reveal

Manchester United and Arsenal target Victor Osimhen explained his remarkable rise from abject poverty and grief to superstardom in a throwback interview.

The 24-year-old’s heroics in Italy have seen him become one of the most sought-after players in world football, with Arsenal and United reportedly among his many admirers.

Osimhen has netted 21 goals in all competitions for Napoli, including 19 in Serie A, with Luciano Spalletti’s side 15 points clear at the top of Serie A and on course to win their first Scudetto since 1990.

And while the player has been tipped to move to the Premier League in the summer, he won’t come cheap. The Nigerian international will reportedly cost more than the Premier League record £106million Chelsea paid to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.

However, long before Osimhen was linked with the world’s richest and most successful sides, he was living in poverty, searching rubbish dumps for shoes as a child.

Real Betis didn't perform well as I expected of them. They played like a minors club, allowing Manchester United to dominate the first and second-half matches. I am kind of disappointed with the way they played tonight. I bet on them to win or draw against Manchester United at least.
Manchester United was eager to win the match by all means because of how they let everyone down with their disappointing performance which put many in disbelief whether is it truly Manchester united that Liverpool is thrashing with 7 goals to nil.

Sporting CP isn't very hard opponent for Arsenal but it is not possible to win every single game for a team. Arsenal is favorite and they will play in their home ground. I hope Arsenal will be able to win against Sporting CP. Between the match of Manchester United and Real Betis, Manchester United is in good condition and they are also favorite by considering recent performances.

Arsenal faces difficulties to beat sporting away. The statistic said that arsenal was even more superior compared with sporting but the fact that if sporting was almost win against arsenal. It's not good to underestimate another team. Sporting was playing at the UCL group qualifier before but it was going to the europa league caused by it was not qualified for the last 16 of UCL.
In another match, MU was able beating real betis by a huge score. That was very good to see if MU was going back again on the right track. MU has massive aggregates to win against betis in the second leg.
Ten hag looks satisfied to see the result that already been achieved by MU. MU has a bigger chance to be qualified for the last 8 but arsenal still needs to fight hard against sporting for a spot in last 8.

[Velvet78]

It was a really unlucky day for the Turkish team, Fenerbahce. I mean they were really incredible against Sevilla. They had so many goal opportunities to benefit from but they just wasted all of them very generously.

I can comfortably say that Sevilla didn't deserve to get a win by this much of a comfortable score. They just punished their opponent for wasting their opportunities. Even a loss by one goal would be a hope for Fenerbahce but I don't know after a result like this. Maybe they would play much better in Istanbul but Sevilla wouldn't let them finish regular time by two goals ahead that easy anyway.

Arsenal seems to be aggrieved after Xhaka's goal gets annulled by the referee. Maybe that accident a bit affects of the performance and reduces the team's confidence, so that get the draw result. I really sure in the next 2nd leg, Arsenal will get trouble if the defender still careless to block Lisbon attacker. The team is still need to concentrate on match, whatever in the next if they still want continue the dream..

[snipie]

Juventus managed to score a goal but it will be hard for them to win in the second game in away game.

They could just score more goals at home but they were not capable.

Freiburg isn't an easy opponent and the second leg will be hard for Juve in my opinion. They had to score more goals.. Di Maria scored 4 goals in the last two games of Juve in Europa League. Maybe he could score in the next game too.
There is only ManU who has a clear advantage over Betis with 3 goals difference. The other teams have either 2 like Roma, Sevilla and Leverkusen or just 1 goal which makes the second leg heated tho

[rendravolt]

Here are the results of the first leg recap of the last 16 of the Europa League which took place last night. A total of 5 teams won at home and the other 3 only got a draw. Manchester United are back on their feet, Roma are able to prove their consistency, Leverkusen are unstoppable, Sevilla are getting more confident, and Juventus are still convinced that this is the only title they can win this season.

The team is still need to concentrate on match, whatever in the next if they still want continue the dream..

The second leg gonna be happening at home I see no reason for arsenal to lose against sporting yet arsenal needs always to be careful caused by comeback can come anytime. Sporting was playing so well even it was under pressure by arsenal.
Arsenal was almost making the third goal from tomiyasu but that's very sad that if tomiyasu's header can still be blocked by sporting's keeper.

There was a chance for arsenal to win in the second leg. I think that arsenal will be trying so hard to win against sporting. Sporting is still having a chance to make its comeback in emirates stadium. Sporting needs only to be draw in the second leg to beat arsenal.
It will be very disappointed for arsenal if the club will be leaving from europa league caused of losing against sporting. Sporting is a team that must be considered a strong team.

Arsenal is still able dominating everything but there's no guarnatee if the domination by arsenal over sporting will give arsenal guarantee to win the second leg.

Manchester United are back on their feet, Roma are able to prove their consistency, Leverkusen are unstoppable, Sevilla are getting more confident, and Juventus are still convinced that this is the only title they can win this season.

Most of big clubs like Manchester United, AS Roma, Sevilla and Leverkusen got good results from a first leg. Only Arsenal did not get good advantage from the first leg but a 2 -2 draw a Sporting's stadium is not too bad.

Two Real from La Liga (Real Betis and Real Sociedad) had bad results and they mostly will have to leave Europa League after this round. Roma again shows that they can play well in Cup format with Mourinho. In the match, Sociedad goalkeeper made some stupid moments and luckily for him, Roma did not score goals in those two mistakes. Anyway a late goal at 87th minute helps Roma mostly secure their ticket to a next round.

The surprising result for me is that Union Berlin wasnt able to win at home,was sure that it was an easy win for them. Also Roma with an easy win that i didnt expect. Man Utd after that big loss came back fast and destroyed Betis and probobly are into the next round after the first leg already.
