UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Slow death]

well, mourinho was victorious at home which in a way is a very good thing because he was worried about injured players in this game so getting a victory even if it is a victory that does not guarantee some comfort was something positive, taking into account that Roma in the series The nation has many chances of having a place in the Champions League so in strategic terms if they focus on the Europa League it is the best choice for Roma, the biggest problem for Roma would only be if they reached the final and played against Juventus, in this scenario without doubts that roma would lose for sure, but juventus drew so it's more likely to be eliminated and if rome is lucky to go to the final and play against sevilla then roma can be champions

about the game between juventus and sevilla, this result was expected, the coach of juventus has the strategy of staying in defense and waiting for a goal to be scored and then focusing again on defense, he gives more importance to defense than to attack, so no I'm surprised by this result, Sevilla in the last few games has managed to score goals in most of the games, the problem for Juventus will be in the second leg, with this strategy by the Juventus coach, Sevilla has a good chance of winning in the next game, even because in this first leg game sevilla lost due to bad luck

[Lillominato89]

Wow Juventus scored in the last second of the game and survived against Sevilla and was able to take a draw. Somehow Sevilla didnt win this match but they will have a second chance in Spain,but this chances for the win must be taken against big teams like Juventus.

Juventus were lucky to have scored a goal. Juventus even with their Home Advantage became the team to be pursuing the game which should not have been so. In Spain when both teams meet again it is still possible that if Sevilla get the lead first that Juventus will again struggle to meet up with them to see if they can win the game and somehow find themself in the finals after already losing out on becoming the Italian champions this season and loosing their opportunity to enter inp he second leg with he advantage of a win in the first.

The fact that Juventus was able to secure the draw today was truly remarkable, and this draw might improve their chances of making the final.Both teams performed well tonight, although Sevilla was more proactive in terms of producing quality goal-scoring opportunities.If I could recall, Sevilla's performance against Manchester United always gave me hope that they would win the Europa Cup.it was clear to me before the match started that it will be really hardly for Juventus to secured victory tonight because i have been watching the both teams matches over weeks now and I know what sevilla may be capable.

It was a magnificent goal from Gatti to end the game on the 97th minutes of the extra time. The equalising goal has brought hope back to the Italian side. Juventus deserves the goal because they took total control of the second half and they mounted pressure on Sevilla till Gatti finally broke the deadlock on Sevilla. So many opportunities were not properly used by Juve, as they lost many chances in the second half. Likewise Sevilla,who thought that they have finally won the match due to the goal that they scored in the first half. Sevilla is hard to win at home,and I don't think it will be possible for Juventus to win Sevilla and qualify to the finals in Spain. Juventus must work hard and come up with a better strategy to enable them win Sevilla at home.

in my humble opinion it was a normal goal but of vital importance for juventus, with this goal he keeps alive the hopes for juventus to reach the final, obviously going to win in Seville will be very difficult, but in fact the second leg it will be the decisive one, like a final. Maybe in the final this year we would see Juventus vs Roma, I see Mourinho very focused on the Europa League cup

[Rockstarguy]

Juventus are a mess in general in the match now. The first half was completely dominated by Sevilla. They weren't only great at attacking. They did a superb work in defense as well.

Without taking away what work Sevilla put in ,I think some of these teams don't give it all when it comes to Europa games because its seen as an inferior competition especially  when its one of these so called big teams playing ....

All in all, we must also not forget that when it comes to Europa  games, Sevilla  are pretty much the most decorated team and you better bring your A game when you face them, and what we witnessed today was total shambles and they Italians deserved to lose!

You maybe right and you maybe also wrong. Like in the case of Barcelona they didn't take the Europa league as a target to win the Europa League.  Juventus not performing well in the game was not because they didn't consider the Europa league I still see Juventus as a club that is trying to be stable this season and Sevilla is what will all know they have too much zeal when it comes to the Europa league,  they try to give their best that is why they always come out better in their games in Europa League.

I really don't know if Ceferin is behind al of what is happening.

How this is not fault.

[arimamib]

Juventus kept pressuring until the final minutes before a goal came from Gatti with a nice assist from Pogba. It was a game between the said kings of Europa league, Sevilla and one of the biggest team in Italian Serie A. I anticipate a greater fight for victory on who to advance for the final when they play second leg by next week.

Sevilla got a draw in the first leg which was played at the Juventus stadium, now I remember when they got a draw in the previous round when they played at old trafford where the final result was 2-2 and the second leg Sevilla played nicely at home, I think the moment will probably happen again on the semi-final second leg which will be played at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium.

If this happens, Sevilla is a candidate to win the Europa League trophy this season. However, we need to see the game in the second leg later and hope Juventus can learn from Sevilla match against Manchester United at that time. Everything must be arranged as best as possible by Juventus in securing their run in the Europa League this season.

[Velvet78]

Juventus got a huge difficulty in even getting this draw in the first leg. Their goal came literally in the final moments of the game. Their first half performance was really bad but things started to get better in the other half. Sevilla's not playing attacking-oriented much in the second half was also effective about that of course. But Juventus' being like that even in this situation shows how much they are struggling.

I don't think Sevilla would stumble in this round. They should be able to finish them off in Spain. We might see a similar scenario to the second leg of their previous matchup against Manchester United.

[shogun47]

The draw result of the match from Juventus vs Sevilla 1 - 1 has occurred. I think Juventus will play very well this time, especially when their confidence is very high, facing Sevilla, which basically doesn't always play well. However, Juventus have not been able to optimize various opportunities even until the first half ends. Even though they were left behind 0 - 1 from Sevilla. Even until the second half started and almost ended, Juventus finally managed to equalize at 1 - 1 in the 90+7 minute. This is a really crucial minute.

Roma played quite well in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final against Leverkusen where Jose Mourinho squad was able to win this game with a final result of 1-0.  Even though the victory was slim, Roma has shown a positive side for them because the capital of this victory will be a good hope during the second leg later.

In another match, Juventus failed to take advantage of a good opportunity to play at home because they had to be satisfied with a draw and even then they had to do it with a pretty hard effort against Sevilla. Sevilla is quite an aggressive team in the Europa league this season they are doing better than what happened to them in the Domestic league.

The difference was that Leverkusen didn't score the goal with their first huge chance whereas Roma did score the goal.

Leverkusen had a very good start into the first half with a big opportunity to take the lead right after the game started and afterwards I think you could really see who the coach of Leverkusen is. Xabi Alonso is trying to let his team play exactly how the Spanish national team played back at the time. I must say it was looking great, but they couldn't create chances, which is the problem that many teams have even when they have a lot of ball possession. You need the players who can possess the ball, but also use is creatively.

Still the 1-0 almost means nothing. The game in Leverkusen will be difficult for Roma.

Juventus got a huge difficulty in even getting this draw in the first leg. Their goal came literally in the final moments of the game.

One can't say the goal wasn't deserved. They pressed on in the last minute of normal time and the plus times more than they ever did during the prior phase of the game and Sevilla were more on the defensive side,looking fairways to keep the Juventus forces at bay but, it was only normal that they make mistakes that would be punishing for there defense strategy. I thought that would have come by a penalty but it was denied but, it did come with the seconds left on the click through that header.

West Ham United was another team that did a good job with there come back from a goal down. I was wondering how they were a goal down but, had little doubt on them equalising and they pressed on to win.

[TelolettOm]

The difference was that Leverkusen didn't score the goal with their first huge chance whereas Roma did score the goal.

Yes, it is a big difference. A single goal makes Roma win the match. Although it is only 1 goal, it is an advantage for AS Roma for Leg 2.

Leverkusen had a very good start into the first half with a big opportunity to take the lead right after the game started and afterwards I think you could really see who the coach of Leverkusen is. Xabi Alonso is trying to let his team play exactly how the Spanish national team played back at the time. I must say it was looking great, but they couldn't create chances, which is the problem that many teams have even when they have a lot of ball possession. You need the players who can possess the ball, but also use is creatively.

The tactic was good, Leverkusen created some good chances.
But the players' quality made them score 0 goals. Xabi must consider to changes some Leverkusen attackers in Leg 2. If the attackers can be calmer and have good shooting accuracy, Leverkusen may win the match in Leg 2.

Still the 1-0 almost means nothing. The game in Leverkusen will be difficult for Roma.

It means a lot, 1 goal makes AS Roma leads the aggregate. If AS Roma players can score 1 goal in the early next match, I assume they are safe for the final round.

[GiftedMAN]

Despite Roma losing points in the league, Mourinho knows what to do in cup games. They won the first game 1-0 at home. The goal came at 63 minutes. I expected the goal earlier, but there was no goal in the first half. In the second match, Mourinho will be looking for a goal from the counters by playing defensively. In this way, I think that he can easily write his name in the final. The coach of the cups is about to win a trophy again. The Mourinho level is a whole other level.

Mourinho returned to his defensive strategy to face Leverkusen. I don't really believe it was done on home turf. but Mourinho's planned counterattack put Roma ahead in the first leg.
Roma don't make as many passes, they don't have more of the ball than Leverkusen. but their counter-attack is always an opportunity. but in the second leg if Roma still do the same strategy it will be very risky for them. Leverkusen could be very favored later.

Jose Mourinho is one coach that works with experience and watching his team Roma Play today against Leverkusen where his former Player is now a coach shows how much of the experience he's got. Jose decided to Puch more of attack because it was obvious that the awy team was in control of the game and the counterattack works for the Roma team to score the only goal that's an advantage for them and they hope to get more points in the return leg in Germany possibly Jose Mourinho will work with another tactics to see that he gets to the final.

[Lordhermes]

i predicted the juventus and sevilla game rightly, i knew sevilla will draw that game. they have experienced in this competition than any club in the quarter finals. they help Juventus down and will surly win juventus in spain next week. they were good last night like every other game, sevilla is favourite to win this cup this season, they have worked so hard to be at the semi finals.
Roma did well to defeat Bayern Leverkusen by a goal to nil, coach Mouriho really means business this season , he is a trophy winning coach, he has a record of winning trophy in any club he manage. we might just see Roma and Sevilla finals.

Yeah sevilla surely are the favourite now that they managed a draw in italy but i wouldn't say they will win in spain for sure, juventus team might cause some trouble for them, it seems that if they qualify there is a big chance they will face mourinho team am impressed with roma performance in the europa league this season especially against spanich teams, i honestly think that all the teams have a chance to win the title even leverkusen.

Juventus had big problem with Sevilla as many people thought but the match is actually very balancing. Sevilla have reasons to feel regret when losing a win in very last minutes. Juventus are deserved to have a goal and a draw at least from opportunities they created during the match.

The draw makes a second leg in Spain becomes more interesting and unpredictable. It will be an advantage for Sevilla when they will host it at home and they have confidence from quarter final by destroying Manchester United there. Juventus will be fully careful in a second leg if they don't want to be another victim of Sevilla like Manchester United.

Roma did well to defeat Bayern Leverkusen by a goal to nil, coach Mouriho really means business this season , he is a trophy winning coach, he has a record of winning trophy in any club he manage. we might just see Roma and Sevilla finals.

Mourinho and Roma did achieved big result because they played the first semi final in very bad condition from players they could, their player fitness is not all ready for the match. Many of their players are exhausted physically or only half-ready in fitness.

Players like Dybala and Wijnaldum even might not be able to start in a second leg next week. Roma are playing with like 50% or 60% of their full power physically but about mentality, they are playing with more than 100%.

It was dramatic draw and Juventus almost lose if Gatti didn't scored to equalized and Sevilla has been showing that they have strong mentally in this competition and Sevilla were playing very effective and since the first half at least Sevilla had 3 shot attempts to Juventus defensive lines but unfortunately Juventus cannot utilized this match to beat Sevilla but for second leg it wouldn't be easy for both teams because i will considering they have equal chances to qualified

Juventus has resumes their records in this competition that they cannot able to scores more than 1 goal at home since knockout stage but second leg will be very interesting because Juventus is more danger to playing away than to playing at their home so very interesting to know who is the winner of this match because Sevilla also as the team who very tough at their home ground and not impossible for them to playing draw again and probably the winner of this match will be determined by penalty kick

Jose Mourinho's accurate strategy is able to make Xabi Alonso bowed at the Olimpico. 1-0 victory is a good capital for Rome when he will fly to Germany. Most likely The Special One will lock the score 1-0 and will implement a questioning strategy. No doubt the Portuguese man always applies a defensive style so that sometimes makes the game very boring. But even so I am one of the admirers of the coach of the controversial coach.

Mourinho really understands how important the Europa League is for Roma, he managed to lead Rome to an important victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Europa league semi-final which was held at the Olimpico. The only goal from Edoardo Bove in the 62nd minute made Rome have capital against Leverkusen in the second leg. Both teams were unable to score many opportunities during the game due to imperfect attack processes so that the opportunities obtained were wasted.
Based on his experience as coach of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter, Mourinho will implement a defensive strategy by relying on quick counterattacks to maintain excellence in order to move on to the final round.

Mourinho is a very experienced coach. And that is why he has been able to make a mediocre team so strong. I wouldn't say the Roma team is very strong. But the way they are performing is really admirable. Roma is performing very well. They showed an excellent performance against Leverkusen. In this match, Leverkusen tried to keep possession of the ball. However, Roma's players made several excellent attacks. Mourinho's match strategy was good. Otherwise, Roma team would not have been able to win against Leverkusen's defensive gameplay. I guess we will see the final match of Roma vs Sevilla.

AS Roma didn't dominate the match, but they got their job done right. The 1 - 0 result isn't too bad with their passive game, but of course they have to be careful in the second leg in Germany because Bayer Leverkusen will not let AS Roma get away easily.

Juventus got a huge difficulty in even getting this draw in the first leg. Their goal came literally in the final moments of the game. Their first half performance was really bad but things started to get better in the other half.

I don't think Sevilla would stumble in this round. They should be able to finish them off in Spain. We might see a similar scenario to the second leg of their previous matchup against Manchester United.

All possibilities can happen, it is possible that Sevilla will be destroyed later during their home match. BTW, regarding the bet, did you know that the bettors for Sevilla to win got very high odds last night? They (bettors) came close to getting it, but Juventus with their last minute goal shattered all that wishful thinking, LOL.

Yeah sevilla surely are the favourite now that they managed a draw in italy but i wouldn't say they will win in spain for sure, juventus team might cause some trouble for them, it seems that if they qualify there is a big chance they will face mourinho team am impressed with roma performance in the europa league this season especially against spanich teams, i honestly think that all the teams have a chance to win the title even leverkusen.

Not yet buddy, last night's match was still the 1st leg and there is still a 2nd leg match later and I'm not sure Sevilla will be the favorite after the 2nd leg match later because Juventus will win the match.
Last night's draw was very thrilling, especially for the gamblers who took part in the bet to win because after reaching the final minutes in the second half Juventus managed to score a goal and make a draw.
I put Juventus on the line but I don't regret this draw because there is still a second chance later to make up for what I lost.
Rome managed to win over
Leverkusen 1 - 0 thanks to a goal created by E. Bove and this will be an advantage for Roma in the 2nd leg match later because it has an aggregate of 1 - 0.

[shogun47]

It means a lot, 1 goal makes AS Roma leads the aggregate. If AS Roma players can score 1 goal in the early next match, I assume they are safe for the final round.

I wouldn't say it means a lot and if you ask Mourinho what that 1 goal advantage means, he would probably say it means nothing! And I almost agree with that.

As much as Roma has done their homework now, which is winning by the smallest margin possible, as much can Leverkusen do their homework. When two equal teams meet and the home team wins 1-0, in my opinion it doesn't change that much. It is the same situation for Leverkusen and to be honest, what did anyone expect? That Leverkusen would not have to win their home game? That is what they started for anyway. Win the home game. Now if they only win it by one goal margin, we are going to see some overtime. A 2 goal advantage is completely different. But 1 goal doesn't allow Roma for being overly passive and keep the lead over 95 minutes or something.
