UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[tranthidung]

It is an interesting season for Manchester United in Europa League. After Barcelona and Real Betis, they will play against another club from La Liga, Sevilla. Psychologically meeting Sevilla in Europa League is like a nightmare as they win 6 titles in Europa League in history and 4 of them comes from the last 9 seasons.

A poor performance of Sevilla in La Liga can be hope for Manchester United to beat Sevilla which always play very differently in Europa League.

Maybe my eyes are fixed on one of the quite interesting matches Juventus vs Sporting. We know that Juventus managed to win two legs against Freiburg in the round of 16 and Sporting they managed to beat the EPL champion candidates this season Arsenal to the penalty shootout because as we know in the two legs that took place the two teams always drew and made the aggregate 3-3 . Currently Juventus are in a convincing performance in European league competition because of course they also want to win at least one title this season and Sporting they are also targeting the same thing after in the domestic league they have only been able to reach the top 4 so far and cannot compete with benfica in standings board.

Sporting Lisbon luckily beat Arsenal and they are not weak but I don't think they are strong enough. Juventus don't under estimate Europa League with their conditions in Serie A, they know that winning Europa League can help them joining Champions League next season. That is a good award for them as they nearly won't be able to get a ticket to join Champions League by their ending in Serie A. After getting a 15 points deduction, despite of their efforts recent matches, they still have big difference with top four with very small chance to end in it.

The match between Arsenal and Sporting was very competitive. But I couldn't believe Arsenal would lose like that. I expected Arsenal to seal victory during the game but it didn't happen. Sporting brilliantly leveled the game and took it to penalties. In the end, Sporting secured victory on penalties. This defeat is very embarrassing for Arsenal.

Believe it or not, that's the reality that Arsenal is already feeling now so that it makes Arsenal and their fans feel very sick because they have to lose on penalties. This is why each team should not be underestimated because anyone can make unexpected surprises in a match and I have to congratulate Sporting CP for being able to beat Arsenal to go to the next round. Now is the time for Arsenal to stay focused on the Premier League this season.

Arsenal and Sporting CP match yesterday was competitive I thought Arsenal will be to win the match but Sporting CP equalized the goals and take Arsenal to penalties and win.Overconfident makes Arsenal lost their game yesterday,this lose will them serious in premier league or will make them focus.and one thing is all Arsenal fans is weak because of yesterday match Arsenal lost.

I agree that Arsenal were unlucky to face Sporting. Sporting played very well in the first game and played just as well in the second. But you could say they were lucky to win on penalties. But it can also be said that Arsenal is not as strong a club in the Europa League as everyone has said. Now it's even harder to pick favourites.

I guess that arteta was making very big mistake but did not put odegaard in the main squad since the first half. It's all too late when arteta was substituting him during the additional time. It has been proven that if arsenal's goal keeper is not having skill when it came to the penalty. I just try to comment on how slow the response of arsenal's goal keeper when it was trying to block sporting player's shoot in the penalty.
It seems like that if arteta was also having some bad decision-makers. that's why so many gunners were blaming him caused by he was not even trying to respect his opponent.
Arsenal shall always use the main formation started from the first minute. I don't even understand the way arteta thinks about that. Arteta was underestimating sporting CP. it's not good man.

Everyone was simply sure that Arsenal would leave no chance for Sporting at the Emirates and Sporting were able to put up a fight, showing that they were well prepared for this match. Everyone thought that since Arsenal are in first place in the standings of the strongest European league, Sporting Lisbon must surely lose, because their league is much weaker. But this is football and there are often surprises. Remember, for example, who played in last season's final.

It was a painful match yesterday to see that arsenal allowed the game they had in their hand taken away from them by sporting. It felt like a joke when the levelling up was made and I knew penalty was nobody's game and for any body. Arsenal can only lick their wound now and get up soon. Such is the game of soccer if you don't take your chances.

Yesterday's Arsenal match had many controversies, and I must admit that Sporting Lisbon played very well and took advantage of the opportunity they had because Arsenal was forced to make an unexpected substitution due to the injuries of two defenders, which left Arteta very weak and with no choice but to keep the game going that way.

Nonetheless, Arsenal will have all the time or energy to concentrate on their Premier League title as they are now out of all competition except the Premier League.

[shogun47]

this is the result beyond many people's expectations, Arsenal this season is very good, they are the leaders of the Premier League standings, in this second leg match they are very favorite to win but in fact a surprise happened at the Emirates Stadium.
Pedro Goncalves' goal was really very spectacular, and after that goal, the mentality and enthusiasm of the Sporting CP players increased again.

That goal was spectacular and barely happens but he made it. That goal is important for Sporting Lisbon to equalize the match and avoid a collapse if they get a second conceded goal. After that, their goalkeeper made some excellent saves including ones in last minutes. In penalty shootouts, Adan made a save against Martinelly and brought Sporting to quarter finals.

I don't think that defeat is fair for Arsenal after two matches but it's football and they have to accept it, learn some lessons especially Martinelli and move on.

there is no other possibility for Arsenal except to focus on the Premier League, but I hope this defeat does not affect the mentality of the Arsenal team to prepare for the next match in the Premier League.

In Premier League, they learned some lessons from the past season when they lost a position in top four in last week day and now they have to apply those lessons at higher level, to avoid losing Premier League title in next 11 week days.

But that kind of goal can happen in any game and in the end Sporting didn't win by pure luck because they scored three goals out of coincidence. That one goal was enough and that is something Arsenal is to blame for. It is their job in a home game to bring themselves into a position that one spectacular goal can't kick them out of the competition.

But now that demonstrates once more that the big favorites are at threat as well in the international competitions. There is no guarantee after the group stages that you are going to face a weak opponent. Weak is relative as they all fight with everything they have in the final rounds. It is very physical.

In my opinion Mikel Arteta took too long to include Odegaard, if Odegaard comes early in the second half maybe the score can change and Arsenal's game will improve. But behind this defeat, Arsenal must learn a lesson because they can focus more on the EPL league. In order not to break their consistency in the EPL league path which is however more expensive than UEL. Hopefully Arsenal can get the title this year

It was a very sad result for Arsenal and I never thought they would lose this game. Actually, their performances weren't too bad, but Sporting didn't play badly and they were able to finish this match in a draw. They also managed to win the game on penalties.
For a team that is about to win the Premier League, losing to Sporting is somewhat surprising. So they weren't in their day and didn't play well

Sporting CP is one of the best team in the Primeira Liga, they deserve a chance to advance to the next round in the UEL
Now Arsenal can return to focus on the EPL, they must not miss the chance to win the Premier League this season. Arsenal's failure in the Europa League this season will soon be reward because they have confirmed a ticket to the UCL next season

Sporting success in advancing to the quarter-finals cannot be separated from the extraordinary performance shown at home to Arsenal. Sporting immediately got up in the second half to equalize after trailing 1-0 in the first half, the struggles of Sporting players paid off after forcing Arsenal to play 1-1 in normal time. Arsenal's failure to advance to the quarter-finals due to failure to take advantage of opportunities. A number of opportunities that Arsenal got in extra time could not be put to good use due to Sporting defense playing very disciplined.
It is very surprising to know the fact that Arsenal were eliminated in the Europa League because previously they always performed well, Arsenal were also the favorites as one of the top teams in this tournament. But this is football, all predictions are not always in line with the results of the match.

The goal Sporting scored in the game was very good, one will not expect a strike from that distance to beat a goalkeeper as good as the Arsenal keeper. Sporting will feel very confident in the competition being the team that eliminated one of the teams that people expected can also be winners in the Europa competition, they can go very far. Another team to expect to still do well is Roma because of good and experienced their coach José Mourinho is and how well he likes to win titles. Roma will have a challenge in the quarter finals first, they will have to somehow win Feyenoord that scored many goals to qualify to this stage.

Sporting CP performs better compared with arsenal. That's why sporting deserves to be qualified for the last 8 unlike arsenal which was underperforming. I don't know what's wrong with arsenal but it seems like that arteta was the main problem that makes arsenal lose in europa league.

"Tomiyasu looks pretty serious from his reaction straight away and what he said to me, but it's very early and very difficult to know.

The defeat by sporting lisbon was giving more disadvantages to the arsenal started from some important players who potentially injured during the match against sporting. Even when arsenal was playing with gabriel jesus was not even enough to beat sporting.

Sporting was really strong and under rated team at this moment. People were feeling so confidence to bet on arsenal compared with sporting.
Tomiyasu and saliba may not play against crystal palace as the continuation of EPL

Could it be the target of winning the Premier league is what made arsenal not to be strong enough to defeat sporting cp. I didn't expect the out of arsenal and sporting cp will end up like this. Arsenal started the Europa League this season with a good performance but they couldn't keep it on. Now arsenal are no more participating in the Europa League let's watch out if they can still maintain to be consistent in Premier league because their is much work to be done concerning their point..

[sana54210]

I've always had a bit of confidence in Arsenal because I was playing at home but after Xhaka scored a goal the goals actually didn't add up anymore and what was even better was that Sporting CP were able to do their bidding so the game became intense in the first half.

It was in the second half that a spectacular goal was scored by Pedro Goncalves. I didn't expect this to happen because the Arsenal goalkeeper was still in the penalty area, so the shot went perfectly into Arsenal's goal and became a long-range goal.

After that, Sporting CP was even more motivated, they had many chances, but in the end they failed, so the match went into extra round and ended in a penalty shootout.

Unlucky fate Martinelli's shot was able to be pushed aside by the Sporting CP goalkeeper while the Sporting CP players carried out the penalty task perfectly and this was clearly a dramatic victory and Arsenal had to be silent at home.

I think everyone was surprised that the ball went in, that ball would have to go exactly where it went in order to be a goal, you do not usually see that many goals from that far away in football, it sometimes happens but rarely we see it at this stage, usually that happens against a lot worse teams, not against teams like Arsenal to be fair, goalkeeper must be feeling terrible about the goal but there is nothing to be ashamed of, that goal was one in a million, even Pedro himself can shoot 10 more times from the same place and would probably miss all of them, so that was just a lucky situation.

However it is definitely sad to see such a good team gone from the tourney, that's true.

Two teams who played in UCL before is facing in the last 8 of europa league which is really good. Sporting can't be underestimate after it was able to beat arsenal. Mu will be facing sevilla. I thought that if sevilla will not become a tough opponent for MU.

Feyenord gonna be an easy opponent for roma. Roma was doing so well in the last 16. Will jose mourinho bring roma to win europa league?

Leverkusen faces a difficult team. I never heard leverkusen faced union SG before. It seems to be a pretty difficult match for leverkusen.

Manchester United's match is ahead. Manchester United has had one of the best performances in the league, but the team has played poorly in some matches. But the next match is expected to ensure victory for Manchester United. Because the opposition is far behind.

[LGD2Business]

The two strongest teams I've seen in the Europa League have matched. It was interesting that Manchester United and Sevilla drew each other so early. Other teams have been happy about it. I think both teams had a very good chance for the trophy, but unfortunately, one of them will say goodbye to the trophy in the quarter-finals. I think the team that passes this round will play the final.
Juventus and Sporting draw will also be very exciting. Arsenal could've been here but Sporting won on penalties. They are one of the strongest teams in Portugal and they deserved to be here. I wouldn't be surprised if they can also knock out Juventus.
I wonder what Bayer Leverkusen will do. Union SG is seen as a small team but the game they played was fine.

[3meek]

I guess after Arsenal lost to Sporting we can put Man U among the favourites... Although maybe Sporting will make it to the final match too... Juventus are unlikely to qualify for the final, especially their next games against Sporting... Roma could also prove to be a dark horse, but unfortunately they don't have a consistent game...

After facing Real Sociedad in the group phase, stepped over Barcelona's obstacles in the play-offs, and alleviating Real Betis in the last 16, Manchester United again won the Spanish team as their opponent, Sevilla, who was the holder of the record for the most UEL champions with four trophies. In head-to-head, the Red Devils have never won against Sevilla, that must certainly be a serious concern of Ten Hag. But if you look at Sevilla's performance in La Liga, then MU can be a little able to breathe freely, because until now Los Nervionenses are still stumbling at the bottom of the standings.

I believe Manchester United will qualify for the semifinals, because in addition to their good performance, United this season has also been tested when he was able to defeat the Spanish team.

Juventus versus Sporting Lisbon is another match that is quite interesting for us to see. I think the strength of these two teams is quite balanced and I can predict that their battles will be very tight until the 2nd leg. Front, because the opportunity through the Serie A pathway is quite heavy for Juventus.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Arteta was the error in his team selection. Immediately, I saw the lineup, I said they were out of the tournament. I don't blame any of the players but rather Arteta you can't underestimate a team twice. Some people had already qualified but still brought in their winning eleven and Arteta decided to bench theirs, what shall he say when they lose the premier league? Let’s hope it's not a slippery slope as we have seen before, they must keep focused.

I will not blame Arteta in this case, as a coach he should make a change with the current situation of his team. He decided to rest some of his best players (it does not mean he underestimates Sporting) but maybe because he has made the decision to be focused more on Premier League where his team lead 5 points only to the closest competitor. It is hard decision but it is reasonable enough if Arteta want to win Premier League more than Europa League. I hope it will work like what he expects, now they can focus on EPL as they have just failed in Europa League.

He underestimated Sporting in the first leg, played out a 2-2 draw with them. Underestimated them again at home. Arteta should stop underrating competitions and teams. Arteta takes all the blame. He bottled it big time, he should know better that they gave them a glimpse of what they were capable of doing in the previous fixture but he ignored the fact and experimenting with his chances.
