UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Velvet78]

Roma played very efficiently, they were able to protect their chances quite well and the result of winning in the first leg is of course a very big advantage for Roma because in the second leg they will play at their own home with the many advantages they have now made the Roma team comfortable enough to reach the second leg later.
I think this is not a big surprise because it must be admitted that Roma's performance has been much better and has improved since being coached by De Rossi.

I think there is no difference between Roma and Leverkusen, these are two teams from two different competitions even though Leverkusen looks superior but Roma also cannot be underestimated, they have now improved very drastically.

I believe it might be a little exaggeration to see Leverkusen and Roma at the same level. There is a really serious performance difference between these teams this season. Even with De Rossi, Roma would still have really serious difficulties against Leverkusen. Because we are literally talking about an unbeaten opponent. 

Roma beat Milan away maybe but they didn't have a good performance on one hand. I don't feel like they would be able to stand much chance against Leverkusen if they play the same. We must have all seen what Leverkusen did to West Ham in the first leg so...

It's too much to equate Roma and Leverkusen, I think there is clearly a difference here and I also see that Roma still doesn't have a big percentage to be in the semifinals and meet Leverkusen because even though they won the first leg against Milan, the performance of the Roma team was so bad that Agg 1 It is very possible to catch the goal in the second leg.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen is currently still quite stable, if there are no big surprises like Atalanta's surprise against Liverpool, then the Leverkusen team can be said to be a team that has quality above the average of other teams.

[emrecemsan]

Leverkusen are continuing to perform miracles in this dream season with Xabi Alonso. 



It says 41 matches but it must have become 42 as of the West Ham victory. This is just magnificent! It is a big joy to watch every single match Leverkusen play now. They just don't know the meaning of losing. Xabi Alonso is aiming the maximum level ball control and pressuring their opponent as much as possible. This system has worked very smoothly until this point as they will probably announce their first ever Bundesliga trophy today. 

As for the Europa League trophy, why not?    They look like nobody can stop them.

[rendravolt]

Milan may be embarrassed in front of their fans after their narrow defeat to Roma in the first leg but everything is not over yet and Milan's opportunity to win in the second leg is still very open. That's not a big aggregate difference and I'm sure they can still turn things around at home to Roma later. They just need to implement a different strategy and learn from the previous defeat against Roma.

On the other hand, Roma, who have been on the rise lately, are worth watching out for and since being handled by De Rossi, their performance has always been impressive. But they also have to start being alert because Milan will play hard at home and Roma should start looking for ways to break into Milan's goal even more. Defense will be one of the determinants of victory for both teams and one mistake will be very fatal for their chances of qualifying for the semifinals.

The biggest reason why Rome won this match was that they were lucky. Milan could not take advantage of many opportunities, in fact there were very good positions where they could have scored.
Roma scored thanks partly to the referee's decisions and partly to luck. I think there are offside decisions and penalty decisions that need to be discussed. We should also not forget the shots that hit the post. Rome was on a lucky day

It is what it is and it is not a positive result that makes Roma feel comfortable. Everything is not over yet and Roma still has to fight to stop Milan in the second leg. I think if Milan can learn from their previous mistakes, they could beat Roma in the second leg and that would make Roma start to panic. There is no way that Milan will just stay silent and they will avenge this defeat at home to Roma.

Now we can see that Roma have not been able to completely suppress Milan's attacks and therefore their defense must be even stronger than before. If they can't fix that then Milan will have a much easier time breaking into the goal. Every referee's decision is quite controversial and there are times when we can't do anything if the referee has already decided. However, we can only hope that in the second leg the two teams can show a fiery quarter-final match and this will also eliminate another representative from Italy in the European league.

[tygeade]

I don't think kloop consider europa league as unimportant trophy and it's an important one just like the EPL, but Klopp made the biggest mistake by starting Salah from the bench which was destroying the tempo from the club and i can be considered a blunder by Liverpool, no doubt that if atalanta was destroying liverpool with so many goals in the first leg. The second leg is gonna be even tougher than before considering that if liverpool will not able to perform better than before. . Things may not be going so well if Liverpool keeps doing the same shit.
The situation is currently unpredictable, and I am confident that it will remain so until the season's final match. Arsenal currently leads the competition, but who knows if it will continue to struggle against Chelsea in the future and im hoping that there will be a miracle to happen with chelsea to prevent arsenal in getting three points.
I am hoping that Chelsea will be able to prevent Arsenal from getting a good result this season but yeah since arsenal as the hardest fixtures compared to the other teams like city and liverpool. The city must win the competition. Liverpool and Arsenal will not win the EPL.
The chance remains there because Manchester City continues to win games and it most likely until the last match of the season, which is also putting pressure on Arsenal to win against its opponent for the title race soon.

I feel like Klopp doesn't really play to win, he plays to grow, he plays to basically make sure they do everything they can, but not really for just a title, it's growth that matters to him. All in all I believe that we are going to definitely see them do well enough, it is just not going to be all that simple.

We should let Liverpool lose if they do not care, why pressure them into something that doesn't make sense for them, they do not care because it's smaller than what they should be going for, they are normally good enough to be at UCL, and football is so weird that because you think you deserve UCL and not Europa, you end up not caring about Europa and lose that too. That is what we are seeing from Liverpool right now.

[red4slash]

Liverpool letting you down after you placed your money on them is frustrating. Always a powerhouse, this season has been good. But those team modifications were a risk that failed. After you become used to their huge names up front, they attempt something new.

High possession is how you normally succeed, right? Easy passes and basic attempts arent enough against Atalanta's tight defense. A real wake-up call. Football can be unpredictable. Yes, its annoying when it costs money. I understand.

Not only is it annoying for those who lose after holding Liverpool and hoping to win, but it could actually result in Liverpool going home early from the Europa League if they are not able to score more goals in the second leg. Because losing badly at home with that many goals will certainly be a very painful blow for Liverpool fans, because this will make Liverpool have to be able to make their best attack in the second leg while still making a better defense. I didn't think that Atalanta could win that much at home to their opponents in the Europa League this season.

The situation is still unpredictable after the previous failure where Liverpool had to lose with a sizable score certainly makes an indication that the second leg will be more difficult because Liverpool will have to try to score 3 goals or even more to keep their hopes alive. But something like this is still possible to happen even though it is a little heavy but the fact is that if Atalanta can score 3 goals at Anfield then it is not impossible for Liverpool to win with a striking score in Bergamo later.

The current conditions of the chance are still there even though it is a little difficult because surely with a big win like this Atalanta certainly don't want to just let go of their momentum but on the other hand things like this are also not easy because Liverpool are still possible to score a lot of goals for them to be in the semi-finals.
I think the chance is still there and still possible for both clubs for the second leg later.

[Farma]

It is what it is and it is not a positive result that makes Roma feel comfortable. Everything is not over yet and Roma still has to fight to stop Milan in the second leg. I think if Milan can learn from their previous mistakes, they could beat Roma in the second leg and that would make Roma start to panic.

However, we can only hope that in the second leg the two teams can show a fiery quarter-final match and this will also eliminate another representative from Italy in the European league.

In the second leg, they will show their good performance to fight for a ticket to the semifinals, even though AC Milan lost at home in the first leg, it is not impossible for AC Milan to beat Roma in the second round, but in the last meeting at home to Rome, the AC Milan team was able to beat Rome so it is possible that the same thing will happen again.

But this match is difficult to predict, both of them have effective key players, and De Rossi is definitely very motivated to beat Milan at their home, especially with Roma's record of the last five meetings being unbeaten at their home, it is very difficult to decide defeat in the capital city of Rome but coach Pioli will definitely fight for a ticket to advance to the semifinals,
This will still be a tough match and predicting the second leg between these two teams will be over, so I would bet on it.

[Google+]

I believe it might be a little exaggeration to see Leverkusen and Roma at the same level. There is a really serious performance difference between these teams this season. Even with De Rossi, Roma would still have really serious difficulties against Leverkusen. Because we are literally talking about an unbeaten opponent. 

Roma beat Milan away maybe but they didn't have a good performance on one hand. I don't feel like they would be able to stand much chance against Leverkusen if they play the same. We must have all seen what Leverkusen did to West Ham in the first leg so...

Roma and Leverkusen may indeed have the same quality and level of players, but in terms of stability and performance, of course, comparing Rome and Leverkusen is a very exaggerated thing, for now Roma and Leverkusen are like earth and sky so it is not appropriate for us to equalize the chances of the two teams to reach the final or even win the Europa League this season,  My guess, you equate Roma with Leverkusen maybe because Roma managed to beat Milan in the first leg, I think it shouldn't be that Milan's defeat makes you think that way because after all Roma's victory with an aggregate of 1 goal certainly does not guarantee their chances of qualifying for the next round.

At the moment compared to Roma, I think Milan still have a greater chance to qualify for the next round, at the moment Milan only need a draw to force the game to go longer, so if that happens then I am quite sure Milan will be able to destroy Roma at home later, at the moment I am the favorite Milan, Leverkusen or Liverpool who will reach the final.

I'm having that feeling of De Rossi having a great next season the same way it is currently for Xabi Alonso who within his first six months showed great improvement with the squad he came to meet.
I'm head tight currently as I'm too dump to take a side between these two clubs even if it ne is having the season of their lifetime. Milan had some improvement but to see that a big European side would crumble, I wouldn't even agree. They have just earned themselves the spot to the next round in my own opinion.

If As Roma goes on to face Bayern Leverkusen, we all know the outcome, they would definitely defeat them since they couldn't do so against Jose Mourinho last season.
This would be a good chance for Xabi Alonso and his lads to do that. Vamos!

The match in the second leg for Roma will definitely be fiercer because Milan will definitely try to win as much as they can even though they are playing at Roma's home ground, because with just one goal in the first leg it certainly won't be safe enough for Roma to qualify for the next round. Unless Roma can really make a big surprise with an extraordinary increase in performance at home when they host AC Milan in the second leg.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen is currently still quite stable, if there are no big surprises like Atalanta's surprise against Liverpool, then the Leverkusen team can be said to be a team that has quality above the average of other teams.

This season, Leverkusen still has no equal, judging by the fact that they have never lost any match this season. And I don't even hesitate to say that Leverkusen will progress to the next round with an extraordinary aggregate, even though in the second leg West Ham will also try to score a goal to beat Leverkusen. But that is quite a difficult thing for West Ham to do because Leverkusen still has full strength to continue to focus on the Europa League this season in order to reach the final.

[Iranus]

I don't sure with my ideal final prediction of Europe League between Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool will be true, for Leverkusen has chance qualify until final round but Liverpool make us shock and loss faith with potential eliminating in quarter final round after losing three goals on the first leg match. Need to change with final prediction seems Benfica has large opportunity will set one spot for the final if Atalanta qualify to semifinal, in other batch actually very difficult for predicting the potential teams will get final ticket between AS Roma, Milan or Bayern Leverkusen.

After Liverpool got a lose with 3 goals, I also didn't expect Liverpool in the final round. I think Liverpool has been eliminated, they won't have a chance to win with 4 goals in Leg 2. We should have another team to accompany Leverkusen in the final round. Sure, the winner in the match AC Milan vs AS Roma probably becomes the candidate of the finalist. Because AS Roma could win in Leg 1, I also think AS Roma may be the opponent of Leverkusen in the final round.

Anyway, I'm very disappointed with Liverpool. I predicted to see Liverpool in the final because they are performing very well in EPL. I guessed they will perform the same in Europa league, but they seemed to fail in this competition. Now, it is just to expect a miracle for qualifying in the next round. Atalanta has killed them in Leg 1.

If Jurgen Klopp's men are not making it to the final of the Europa League competition, which does look to be very hard because they have to overcome a three goal deficit, I think Leverkusen is going to win the Europa League competition. Because all this time I was thinking that Liverpool is the true competition for them. But if they cannot reach the final, I don't think Leverkusen actually has any competition.

Yes, there are teams which will give them a hard time. But I don't think it is going to be good enough to beat Leverkusen. And the performance that Leverkusen has been showing recently, I actually am thinking about trusting them. imagine if they can actually win all these trophies! It is going to be a legendary achievement for them.  But first of all,  let's see what happens with Liverpool vs Atalanta 2nd leg

[hyudien]

Leverkusen are continuing to perform miracles in this dream season with Xabi Alonso. 



It says 41 matches but it must have become 42 as of the West Ham victory. This is just magnificent! It is a big joy to watch every single match Leverkusen play now. They just don't know the meaning of losing. Xabi Alonso is aiming the maximum level ball control and pressuring their opponent as much as possible. This system has worked very smoothly until this point as they will probably announce their first ever Bundesliga trophy today. 

As for the Europa League trophy, why not?    They look like nobody can stop them.

Leverkusen managed by Xabi Alonso really created a record this season, it is very difficult to play without losing for a season and that's not just in one competition, but they did it in different competitions. Xabi deserves to be appreciated for what he has done while he was Leverkusen coach.
They are certain to be able to win the Bundesliga title this season because it is already in front of them, and now they are also playing the match and are 1-0 up to lock up the title against Bremen.
I hope that when he has locked in the title, he doesn't relax his game, because apart from being able to win, they can also create an unbeaten record for one season in the Bundesliga.
In the European League itself, they have a very big chance now, especially as one of their competitors actually failed in their first match in the quarter-finals because they lost to Atalanta. The failure of their competitors opened up wider opportunities for them to become champions.

[slapper]

The main focus for Liverpool team remains the Premier League so i dont know how much they want to risk in Europa League only Jurgen Kloop inside his head knows what he wants more. I think he is gonna put all in this weekend against Crystal Palace, and try in thursday to find a few fast goals in Bergamo, if that is not happening i can see him making a retirement of the stars of the team, and let the game goes on.

I don't think kloop consider europa league as unimportant trophy and it's an important one just like the EPL, but Klopp made the biggest mistake by starting Salah from the bench which was destroying the tempo from the club and i can be considered a blunder by Liverpool, no doubt that if atalanta was destroying liverpool with so many goals in the first leg. The second leg is gonna be even tougher than before considering that if liverpool will not able to perform better than before. . Things may not be going so well if Liverpool keeps doing the same shit.
The situation is currently unpredictable, and I am confident that it will remain so until the season's final match. Arsenal currently leads the competition, but who knows if it will continue to struggle against Chelsea in the future and im hoping that there will be a miracle to happen with chelsea to prevent arsenal in getting three points.
I am hoping that Chelsea will be able to prevent Arsenal from getting a good result this season but yeah since arsenal as the hardest fixtures compared to the other teams like city and liverpool. The city must win the competition. Liverpool and Arsenal will not win the EPL.
The chance remains there because Manchester City continues to win games and it most likely until the last match of the season, which is also putting pressure on Arsenal to win against its opponent for the title race soon.

He must balance the Premier League and Europa League, but the league is his bread and butter. It sounds like he's trading Europa for Palace. He may try to score quickly against Atalanta, but if he fails, the starting go home. No weariness or injuries before a vital league match

Klopp has benched Salah at odd times, disrupting the team's flow. He'll gamble even if it backfires.  However, examine the Premier League table. City and Arsenal are pressuring Liverpool. Klopp may not risk league points by deploying his finest players in the Europa League unless necessary

Liverpool on the other hand has experienced a push ahead in their stance since Klopp joined the team. They have been impactful in all areas of contests they find themselves. They've pulled through series of finals and have lifted a number of trophies too. The manager has been a positive addition to them and it's understandable if the club can't let go of him yet. This season, he's aimed for a number of trophies too, first when they took on Chelsea in the EFL finals, definitely the boss was charged to win again.

 The European contests too is there. He's been able to put the team in the spotlight which they need to excel. The players he's worked with are definitely improving in their abilities too. Just like Pep in City, Klopp is been a savior to Liverpool and they'd definitely have to get to some greater heights before he exits the team soon. His exit from the team would definitely have some impacts in the team's performance ahead either positively or negatively. It's only best to avoid the negative effects.

 He's been able to set up the right team with every needed criteria in place. But still, it's not a determinant that any bad change can't happen in a twinkle of an eye. The Liverpool squad just have to work together to stay in shape and hopefully the replacement won't be a mistake to the team. The team still proves to be competitive in their ability next season. We'd just watch how it'll be manned up and see the results they do their best to achieve. There are still world class players in the team and so they have no standing reason to flop no matter the condition they'll find themselves.

 Well Xabi was once a prospect but staying at Leverkusen would favor him more and so at the moment, we hope to see the club finalize their deal with Amorim and also see the Portuguese team boss join the English side next season. Yes he's had in between performances but still I believe he can make a reasonable effect on Liverpool's team too. The squad are in good shape and he's got to be extra cautious in handling to prevent breakage.

Bayern Leverkusen crowning a super season, and winning the Bundesliga with a 4-0 game against Werder Bremen, now they can fully focus on the Europa League and also saves some players in the Bundesliga game.

No one can imagine this amazing season for Leverkusen at the start of the season. The europa League can be the cherry on top of a magnificent season for the club.

Bayern Leverkusen crowning a super season, and winning the Bundesliga with a 4-0 game against Werder Bremen, now they can fully focus on the Europa League and also saves some players in the Bundesliga game.

No one can imagine this amazing season for Leverkusen at the start of the season. The europa League can be the cherry on top of a magnificent season for the club.

It seems not only 4-0 but 5-0 after Florian Wirtz scored 1 additional score in the final minutes.
In today's match it became a very impressive history for Leverkusen throughout the season to break the dominance of Bayern Munich with success that was very worthy.

at this time Leverkusen is a little more comfortable because of the remaining 5 matches it will not be possible to pursue Leverkusen points even Bayern Munich must admit that Xabi forces are more powerful and after this Xabi has a lot of space to really focus on the European League match to get rid of West Ham and that will be very easy for Leverkusen when competing at home.
Leverkusen became the strongest candidate in the European League this time after the bad performance of Klopp team when defeat in the first leg after that defeat in the EPL match.
Leverkusen players become very confident if the European League title is very close and this must be fought for for the success of Leverkusen history.

[Ruttoshi]

Bayern Leverkusen crowning a super season, and winning the Bundesliga with a 4-0 game against Werder Bremen, now they can fully focus on the Europa League and also saves some players in the Bundesliga game.

No one can imagine this amazing season for Leverkusen at the start of the season. The europa League can be the cherry on top of a magnificent season for the club.

Xabi Alonso have done a great work on the team, and no one expected such wonderful performance from them this season. They stayed focused and never accepted defeat since the beginning of the season till date, they have being showing how good they are. They deserve to win any trophy that they win at the end of the season. I will give them the Europa cup too.

This is because they have remain consistent in their performance and the worst result for them is a draw. I Der them already in the semifinals of the Europa cup. They are 16 points ahead of Bayern Munich, making the point gap very wide. Winning Werder Bremen 5-0 shows that they are improving more in their performance.

[hahay]

It's too much to equate Roma and Leverkusen, I think there is clearly a difference here and I also see that Roma still doesn't have a big percentage to be in the semifinals and meet Leverkusen because even though they won the first leg against Milan, the performance of the Roma team was so bad that Agg 1 It is very possible to catch the goal in the second leg.

Unless Roma can really make a big surprise with an extraordinary increase in performance at home when they host AC Milan in the second leg.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen is currently still quite stable, if there are no big surprises like Atalanta's surprise against Liverpool, then the Leverkusen team can be said to be a team that has quality above the average of other teams.

This season, Leverkusen still has no equal, judging by the fact that they have never lost any match this season. And I don't even hesitate to say that Leverkusen will progress to the next round with an extraordinary aggregate, even though in the second leg West Ham will also try to score a goal to beat Leverkusen. But that is quite a difficult thing for West Ham to do because Leverkusen still has full strength to continue to focus on the Europa League this season in order to reach the final.

Although AS Roma only has 1-0 aggregate but still, at this moment AS Roma has a good ability to be able to qualify for the semifinals. It doesn't matter about the reputation and quality that Milan has because after all, the reality is that AS Roma really has the success of improving its quality with De Rossi. So, if only playing against Milan, I personally still believe AS Roma will still be able to beat Milan and AS Roma will qualify for the semifinals.

But indeed, because if AS Roma qualify for the semifinals then AS Roma will play against Bayer Leverkusen. Obviously, in this season Bayer Leverkusen is a very extraordinary team, so it is certainly difficult for AS Roma to beat Bayer Leverkusen. So yes, if for example Liverpool fall in this quarter-final and then Bayer Leverkusen play against AS Roma in the semi-final. Then yes, with such a scenario it is certain that Bayer Leverkusen will get the Europa League trophy this season and thus, Bayer Leverkusen will successfully get the treble winner this season.

[nurilham]

Everyone of us know that Liverpool is good in coming back in this kind of matches. We have watched Liverpool do it against Barcelona which is a better team than Atlanta and also had a larger goal margin. If I were to be Atlanta coach, I will not play defensive game. I will come out the more and continue the pressure since I have 3 goals advantage and also playing home. I am just making a post, I just wish Atlanta coach can read this. Klopp made a mistake by gifting you the 3 points, please do not return the gift to Liverpool.

Atalanta coach should think the same as you. It is not a wise decision to play defensively since the early of the match in Leg 2, it will be too dangerous for Atalanta. It is true that playing with the same tactic will be better, Atalanta needs to keep their pressure to Liverpool players. So, Liverpool players won't be easy to develop their game and make many shot attempts. Liverpool has great attackers, they will try playing with a more offensive tactic in Leg 2. If I were Atlanta coach, I will take advantage of Liverpool tactic because Liverpool will be too focused on attacking. They may have a mistake in defense line, it is the chance for a counter-attack.

I believe that Jurgen Klopp now have big dilemma between going full force to Atalanta or stay focus on the league title race. This dilemma becomes harder to solve, because their injuries situation makes Klopp doesn't have many options for the lineup if they go full force to Atalanta that can have negative impact on their ambition to win Premier League.

It won't be a big dilemma. He will focus on Atalanta when it is a schedule of UEL match. Liverpool will try to do a come-back in Leg 2, it is a must to focus on the match. Anyway, I don't see a serious problem about injury player. Most of the key players are available now, they have recovered from the injury.

The significant improvement in the Roma team since Daniele De Rossi became the club manager is so visible that everyone can see it including people who never believed in the tactical strength of the young Italian manager when he was newly appointed as the club manager. When the draw for the quarter finals and semi finals of the UEFA Europa League competition was made, I was of the opinion that Roma will be easily beaten and eliminated by AC Milan because in my own view, I thought the quality of players at the Milan club is obviously better than Roma but that wasn't what we saw when AC Milan hosted Roma for the first leg of the quarter final tie. Roma to the surprise of many won the game and in my own assessment, I think they'll still go on to win the tie when AC Milan trave to Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Rome for the second leh of the tie.
On the other quarter final tie involving recently crowned champions of Germany Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham, I think the German side will finish up with their first leg win and seal their place in semi finals of the competition
