UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[DaNNy001]

Italy seems to be taking over international football again. The Italian teams have become much stronger at the top in recent years, I think. 2 teams now in the semi-finals of the El (And also in the CL). There is a significant chance that we will get the final between Juventus and AS Roma. Didn't we think when Juventus were eliminated in the group stage of the CL. The level was not good then, but they are clearly favorites against Sevilla. But Sevilla is a team that has also performed well in Europe in recent years and has also won this cup more often than Juventus. However, that is of course mainly because Juventus is normally active in the CL. In that respect, Sevilla is unlucky that they always finish behind Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and the CL is quite difficult to reach.

Yeah the Italian teams have performed so brilliantly this season and deserved all spot they are currently in. I remember few season back it was the English teams that were dominant when it comes to European football but now the tides have change and the italian teams have come to the lime light of focus. But with all this, we still might not see an Italian team come out victorious because in the champions league Madrid and Manchester city are still there and this two team are the most favorite to win that trophy.

Bayern Leverkusen performance in their recent game has not been impressive, roma too is not I  the best performance but I  feel Bayern Leverkusen have the strength of defeating roma in Europa League,  Roma is more inconsistent than Bayern Leverkusen in their respective domestic league.

Both of them lost at home in their respective domestic league matches, but if you want to judge the strength of the two teams through their performances in their last matches in their respective domestic leagues. You also have to look at the strength level of their respective opponents, because from what I have seen, the opponent facing AS Roma is a team that is not so bad this season, namely Inter Milan.

So it's a little logical that AS Roma must lose at home, while Bayern Leverkusen lost when they faced a team that was outside the top ten in the standings ranking (FC Cologne) which is a very different reference for the two because AS Roma faced a team that was very close to the top four zone of the standings.

Regarding the two games they lost recently I know any great team can lose one day and we can't expect to see Roma or Leverkusen winning all the games during this season, Roma is an unstable team and they are usually unpredictable, while Leverkusen is more stable and are performing much better than last games we saw from this team, in the other hand, Leverkusen had a bad start but in the recent weeks, they are performing very well. Based on the last games we saw from these two I think Leverkusen can beat Roma.

Usually Primer League teams always dominance in European competition between Champion League or Europe League, this season difference not only in Champion League but also Europe League dominance by Italian team after Juventus and AS Roma success leaded until semifinal stage. But not sure for both team have chance qualifying to final because each other have to face with favorite and experienced team winning Europe League tittle.

Not sure with AS Roma chance for qualifying to final stage regarding underperformance in domestic league but difference with Juventus they have confidence performance after returning back 15 cut off points.

I think that Sevilla is no weaker anymore than Juventus. This is not because Juventus wouldn't be better on paper, I think they are still better on paper. But now is a situation where Sevilla exactly knows how to stay in the competition. It is similar to Real Madrid who played a below average La Liga season, yet they are among the top favorites for the Champions League because they have proven too often that they can show a different face if needed. I think Manchester City is a slight favorite, but still Real Madrid has as much of a chance to beat Manchester City as Sevilla has to beat Juventus.

I quite agree with you in terms of Sevilla beating Juventus, but Real Madrid beating Manchester city is one I might not be able to agree with until I see it happen live, Real madrid game against Manchester city is coming up on Tuesday, 9th of this month, it's just like 2 days from today, this will be an interesting game to watch, Manchester city are currently leading the table in English premiere league, I am following to what happens with them here.

Again I didn't say that I see an advantage for Real Madrid, but there is one aspect in Madrid's game that is a danger to Manchester City. City always likes ball possession and they always dominate in terms of ball possession, which usually also leads to them taking the lead due to the amount of pressure they can build over the course of the game. But Real Madrid doesn't care as much when the opponent has the ball and they have a strong offense especially with Vinicius Junior. They are also clever in defending. I expect Manchester City to dominate the game, but I also expect Real Madrid to have a couple of big chances in the Bernabeu. Then we need to see whether Real Madrid is better at making use of their opportunities or whether Manchester City is better at turning ball possession into real danger and goals.

Roma team has no strong attacking players other than Paulo Dybala. In addition, the Roma team does not have a strong defense. My personal opinion is that if another player like Paulo Dybala is added to the Roma team, the attack will be stronger. Also new strategies need to be implemented for the team

Agreed, Bellotti was always missing the chances to scoring for the club. It will be so bad to see that roma will not be playing without dybala. I heard a rumor that if he will be playing against intermilan but that's very bad to see he was not playing as starting line up. As roma might need to put him as starting line up against leverkusen. Dybala is really important for the club.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mourinho should be able to rely on the likes of Paulo Dybala and Gini Wijnaldum, both of whom have been limited by injuries over the last couple of weeks.

I hope that if dybala and wijnaldum will be on the starting line up. it's good to see that if those guys will able to play fulltime against leverkusen which can be called as one of strongest opponent in europa league right now.
Xabi's club just like a big wall for roma before it will able to be one step closer to the europa league trophy.

When it comes to Europa league Sevilla is very lucky,  they may not be doing well laliga but I know it is very hard for Sevilla to lose a game in Europa League.  It will not be easy for Juventus to defeat  Sevilla,  because Sevilla always increase their performance in Europa League matches.

Although the Juventus players are ahead of the Sevilla players in terms of experience, I still put Juventus behind in the next match. Because Sevilla are currently playing much better than Juventus. If we look at the matches of the past days, we can understand how strong the Sevilla team is and what responsibility they are playing.

I think Italian teams had one advantage this season; league being dominated by Napoli. Normally in most other seasons teams did not care about europa this much, sure they did but they cared about winning the league as well but this season since it is doing basically the same and Napoli just dominated it, other teams all focused on European competitions.

Well, maybe not Roma because Roma has Mourinho so they basically focused on europa even from the start, but all the others are basically doing the same. They have 4 teams in semi finals between UCL and Europa, and other three teams all lost the league title long time ago, so they could just relax their team in the league games and put all their important players on the big games like this easily. That is a good thing without a doubt because they could do well enough.

Sevilla is a team that has a special appeal for me in the Europa League, they seem to have a special formula when they are in the Europa League. Obviously Juventus cannot underestimate this team, because if they underestimate it maybe bad luck will go greet them. Sevilla could surprise us all by once again eliminating the favorites to win the title, just as they did Manchester United before when they knocked out the English giants.

Maybe you will support and be interested in Sevilla in the Europa League but don't you see that there are some other teams who are stronger and can beat Sevilla at any time.
Sevilla and Juventus are both in 3rd place in their respective groups and maybe of the two Sevilla is ahead of Juventus for now.
Honestly, I'm not sure Sevilla can win the title and get rid of several other teams like they beat Manchester United because for now Manchester United is in a not-so-good phase so it's only natural that Sevilla can topple Manchester United.

this trophy is for Italian team, Sevilla being the only Spanish team in the midst of three Italian clubs in the semi finals, Sevilla has to beat juventus to qualify to the final, which with juventus current form is not possible, it will be a tough game. But I don't see sevilla scaling through to the final. Juventus is favourite for this title. But sevilla will give them tough match.

Another tough match is Ac Milan vs Inter Milan, two tough Italian clubs playing each other on the same stadium, this game has no home and away, both team are familiar with the field. I will stake for inter Milan to beat Ac Milan, based on their current form.

Juventus and Sevilla matches are ahead. Juventus will want to win this match in a big way. Because Juventus are not in a very good position at the moment. Every match is now very important for Juventus to win. So hopefully Juventus will be able to beat Sevilla in a big way.

It seems that this time Roma will appear with a full squad and the return of Dybala, Wijnaldum and Bellotti could pose a threat to the Leverkusen defence. Dybala's role is especially needed in important matches like this and I think he will do a good job of opening up the space for his teammates to create chances against Leverkusen. We know Dybala is also an intelligent player and often finds the ideal position to score goals and of course Mourinho is very pleased with Dybala's return. On the other hand, Leverkusen may be a consistent team so far and for sure there will always be gaps in even the strongest team.

Sevilla usually have bad performance in La Liga but regardless of their performance in other tournaments, Sevilla usually get good results in the Europa League and this team is famous for it, we know during this season Sevilla had a bad performance in most of the games we saw from this team, but still they won the game against Manchester United and now they are even close to beat Juventus.

Juventus and Sevilla matches are ahead. Juventus will want to win this match in a big way. Because Juventus are not in a very good position at the moment. Every match is now very important for Juventus to win. So hopefully Juventus will be able to beat Sevilla in a big way.

I don't think Juventus are in a bad condition right now, I value this when Juventus were able to win at home to Atalanta in their domestic league so that Juventus are in a very good position in their domestic league standings for now. And for the semifinals in the Europa League this time, I think Juventus will play very well in order to win against Sevilla because Sevilla will also give their best in this semifinal.

On the other hand, Leverkusen may be a consistent team so far and for sure there will always be gaps in even the strongest team.

Fielding all the core players is a must in important matches like what Roma will playing in the middle of this week because they cannot be careless at all in the first or second match. In this first match, they will host Leverkusen at the Olimpico Stadium, losing this match will be even more difficult for Roma to qualify for the finals because Leverkusen can no longer be underestimated after being able to get rid of their opponents and become a team that was not taken into account before but was able to go further than they thought predicted.
In this match, even though Roma are the favorites to win over Leverkusen, the bookmakers put Leverkusen more favorites to get to the final than Roma, so the second match will be very important for both teams.

What's interesting is that if the two teams from Serie A, which are currently in the European league semi-finals, can reach the final, then they can be said to be a quite successful league this season because one of the clubs from Serie A is also certain to be in the Champions League final, a tournament that is more prestigious than European league.

But now is a situation where Sevilla exactly knows how to stay in the competition.

I think Manchester City is a slight favorite, but still Real Madrid has as much of a chance to beat Manchester City as Sevilla has to beat Juventus.

To be sure, bookies favor Juventus in the first leg. although it is not a real benchmark, it shows that Juventus has a higher probability than Sevilla in the first leg. after all, lately Juventus have started to experience a little change in terms of performance, they won matches in their two matches in the domestic league. although it doesn't determine anything in the match later, Juventus have the advantage of playing at the Allianz Stadium, their own headquarters. After all, Allegri knows that the opposing team cannot be underestimated. but with players who have more quality than Sevilla, they will give a fierce battle to win the match.

On the contrary, Sevilla was well aware. that in the match later, it is not certain that luck will be back on their side. so, at least, the Sevilla coach will prepare his team for the match later.
by the way, in the first leg, if the odds are ideal I will bet on Juventus.

But that is no surprise has Juventus Turin has the home advantage. I think that that odds are that way could be expected. That's no big deal and indeed they are the favorites at home. I also don't expect Sevilla to be as lucky and get two own goals as a present by Juventus like they did against Manchester United.

But Sevilla's strategy will again be to keep the gap as little as possible after the first leg such that they can win the second leg as they did against Manchester. Their objective is the game against Juventus in front of their own fans with all chances still being there. Juventus isn't really know for destroying their opponents at home with 3 goals and even more.

And for the semifinals in the Europa League this time, I think Juventus will play very well in order to win against Sevilla because Sevilla will also give their best in this semifinal.

Sevilla is a team that will be a challenge for Juventus in this semifinal, we certainly remember when Sevilla destroyed Manchester United in the previous round and managed to bury their hopes of becoming champions in the Europa League this season. Now Sevilla is facing a team that is no less strong than the team they eliminated before. Their success in winning the match against Manchester United is inseparable from the poor performance of Manchester United at the moment, on the other hand Sevilla have managed to perform well, especially in the second leg. The problem is that Juventus still have problems with their consistency, so things like this are a separate threat to Juventus.

Servilla is in 11 position in their domestic league standing while Juventus is in the 3rd position. If we want to predict the match based on who occupies as better position in the local league standing, I think Sevilla will have the upper hand cuz 3rd position is already qualified for the European competition next season while 11 position doesn't. Sevilla as it stands will have to go a long way in the Europa league this season before they can get the ticket for next season's Europe tournament.  For now, it is hard to predict who will win

It is difficult, I cannot deny that now Sevilla must be very motivated, it is known that they may be able to win the Europa League and they would be giving a bang and they would show that what they did to Manchester was not a matter of luck, but rather They are focused, so it wouldn't be bad for me if Sevilla can win, the beauty of football is that it doesn't matter if you are in 11th position in the Local League, you can be the Europa League champion, here is a clear example in other leagues is what what Real Madrid is going through in their local league and the UCL.

Monchi calls Chiesa ‘special’ and believes Juventus ‘favourites’ against Sevilla

Sevilla sporting director Monchi called Federico Chiesa a ‘special player’ and believes history proves that the Spanish side are not to be underestimated in their semi-final clash with Juventus.

The Bianconeri booked their spot in the Europa League semi-finals after beating Sporting CP 2-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, leaving them just three games away from a European title. Considering the team’s poor work in the Champions League this season, success in the Europa League would be a source of some redemption.

Sevilla, who have become something of a modern specialist in the Europa League, thrashed Manchester United 5-2 on aggregate in their quarter-final clash, giving them belief and momentum ahead of the tie with the Old Lady.

Speaking to Tuttosport, Monchi was first asked about the fact that Juventus are looking for a sporting director.

“In my head, now, there’s only Sevilla and the desire to turn the nightmare into the dream.”

He looked ahead to the European semi-final between Sevilla and Juventus.
