UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Frankolala]

Well seems like if Liverpool fails today and West Ham also fail we are not gonna have any english team in the semifinals of europe tournaments (i dont count conference is low level) i dont know when was the last time this happen.

Liverpool is to be the better team in this matchup and should have proved to everyone that they are the better team from the first leg of the match but they failed to prove it and also made a lot of people to lose trust in them after been beaten by Atalanta with three goals to none. Tonight their fate will be decided, whether they’ll go home like Manchester City and Arsenal did yesterday to focus fully on the Premier League or continue their race in the European competition.

The problem is that they aggregate 3 goals from Atalanta. So, to be honest, it will be very difficult for Liverpool to turn things around. Even if it can, it means that Atalanta is really too bad, to be able to suffer an epic comeback like that. And indeed, currently, Liverpool is 0 - 1 ahead of Atalanta in the first half. There is still the second half and the possibility of extra time. There is still a fourth chance for Liverpool to score another goal. At least, right now they are struggling and they are quite dominating the game. Not only that, Liverpool has also succeeded in carrying out quite significant attacks. Yes, it's just a matter of whether they can optimize the efficiency of their attacks or are they just normal like in the first leg yesterday.

Jorgen Klopp made a very huge mistake in the first leg of their game Liverpool against Atlanta in his start X1 of that game and here he is in the second  leg  battling to correct that mistake tonight which for me I strongly believe it's not going to be achievable getting a 0:3 comeback at Atlanta home despite their good stats in this game in all ramifications. Liverpool could win the game for which they are already leading with a 1 goal but they can't win to an aggregate that will match to their first leg loss or more,  to be qualified to the next  round of the Europa.

Trying to come back from a massive 3 goals advantage is always difficult and I can even term it impossible although they are some rare occasions that teams do make it possible but with the current losing mentality that has befallen the team,  I knew it would be hell for them to make it possible for the comeback.

To make a come back on three goals is not something possible for Liverpool because they don't know how to make proper use of their chances. They had a lot of chances today even Sallah missed a good chance.

It was since the last match that I knew that it is impossible for Liverpool as they find it difficult to score just one goal. Even in today's match, they also find it difficult to net the post apart for the PKwhich was taken by Sallah. Milan was the club that I thought will be able to have a come back in Rome, but it was not easy for them, since De Rossi understand the pattern he can use to overcome Milan out of his way.

Xabi Alonso has turned Leverkusen into an extraordinary club. Even before Xavi Alonso came to Leverkusen, we knew that this team was almost relegated. And then Xabi Alonsi came and sent Leverkusen soaring further up the rankings. And then this season Leverkusen managed to win the Bundesliga. So it would be extraordinary if Leverkusen could also win the European League. And actually Leverkusen must score at least 1 more goal if they want to secure this match. Because if West Ham scores another goal in this match then it will make things difficult for Leverkusen.

Europa League title is favorable for Bayer Leverkussen because they're the only team that looks promising to win them. The European League will skyrocketed the consistent teams because they keep putting in their best. Xabi Alonso is the change that impacted positive happenings in the club. Bayer Leverkusen are 43 games unbeaten today because the board didn't make the relenting mistakes Bayern Munich board of directors triggered, alot of things goes wrong, who would be happy about it?

JEREMIE FRIMPONG really saved  Bayer Leverkussen to straight their continuity of the unbeaten record, he make this happened at 89 minutes, i still never up because of their consistency, so now congratulations to XABI ALONSO for this draw. Liverpool are eliminated, so now top three Premier league teams are all eliminated on all EUROPEAN COMPETITION.

[lalabotax]

Leverkusen again avoided a defeat and their unbeaten record is continuing. They will meet Roma in semi finals and they will repeat their semi final meetings last season.

Right. Leverkusen's record was almost broken because of West Ham. However, in the end Leverksuen were able to equalize in the second half through a goal from one of their substitutes. Well, Xabi is indeed quite careful about that. In fact, some of the top players are usually saved to compete in the second round. This can really minimize injuries and maintain performance in the first and second half

Leverkusen's victory over West Ham took them to the semi-finals. This will be very interesting because Leverkusen is the only club from the Bundesliga that is still progressing in the Europe League.

[red4slash]

Goodbye Liverpool and Milan who are the 2 strongest candidates to become champions with the quality of players and experience they have but they must be knocked down surprisingly in the quarter-finals even though we know that this is not too strange in the Europa League because every season there are always surprises like this.

Statistically I quite like the performance of Milan and Liverpool but still it is not enough because when a club cannot score it is difficult for them to qualify and that happened in the Liverpool match.
The unexpected defeat in the first leg was disastrous for themselves as they lost their momentum and in today's game despite their strength and dominance it wasn't enough as the 3-goal aggregate was clearly weighing them down and Atalanta knew that even if they lost as long as they didn't concede more than 3 goals they were safe so they continued to defend with waves of attacks.
Leverkusen's treble hopes are now wide open in terms of chances, let's hope they don't follow the other 2 favourites who were eliminated unexpectedly.

[Egii Nna]

The match between Roma and AC Milan goes well for Roma in the first half. They got too quick goals to lead AC Milan 3 - 0 in aggregated result. Even it is only temporary, it is big advantage for Roma but there is a moment in the first half, Celik made a foul to stop Leao and got a direct red card. It is a deserved red card for Celik because a foul like this can destroy career of an attacking player.

This foul reminds me about a foul of Araujo yesterday, fouls are different but both lead to direct red cards. Roma after that did not collapse easily in the first half but AC Milan actually created some big pressure. De Rossi is realistic by sending Dybala off and replacing him by Llorente, a central defender.

AC Milan needs to find an early goal in second half to trigger panic in Roma. If they can not do it, they will lose this match and Roma will have another season with semi finals in Europa League.

It is rather too late for AC Milan as the game is drawing towards final minutes, the early red card ruined their game this night just exactly like the match between Barcelona and PSG. Roma have ended AC Milan's Europa title hopes and it is a good performance by the team and Roma manager, Danielle De Rossi . They actually played better both in the first meeting and this returning match as well so it was a well deserved victory and they have qualified for the semi finals, and are likely to make it to the finals with this level of performance in the Europa League so far. AC Milan scored in the 86th minutes but the goal is rather a consolation goal and may be referred to as "medicine after death".

Knowing that even the last-minute goal of AC Milan is just to clear is zero because the goal is of no use to them; they have already lost against AS Roma, and with the potentiality for De Rossi as known to everyone, and again, as you have mentioned, we all know that the performance that they have been displaying will take them to the finals, and if with higher maintenance of their performance which means that De Rossi will just increase their performance against the best match, so that will definitely mean that they will definitely make it to go home with the Europa League trophy this season, and that will make many know that it is not good to downgrade the ability of someone because no one thought De Rossi would make it so far with AS Roma, but he has already done it and will try to get the trophy this season. 

[AYOBA]

Liverpool cannot qualify since it will be very difficult to add two more goals in the Atlanta home, but football is unpredictable. Liverpool can win the match, but in my opinion, it will be very difficult for Liverpool because they messed up the first leg at Anfield. What I really think about the match is that Klopp believes Atlanta will be a reason team to defeat, but they didn't give up and they got opportunities and defeated Liverpool in the game. Let's see if Liverpool can add two goals in the second half and get the chance to advance to the next round. Leverkusen will qualify but lose this match, but you can't guarantee they will end up drawing because they will like to continue doing the clean sheet without losing any match. Xabi Alonso as win the league trophy they will try and win the Europa League competition too.

Liverpool mistake started right from their first leg because even the way they was perform in that very their performance was so poorly, but i take it that it is all about football sometime a team can doing at time they will missed up that is why in their first leg I didn't blame I was thinking that may when come to play second leg they will put much effort and make sure they dominate the match sin they're is aggregate between they try and have so many for them to qualify to the next round.

But Liverpool have disappointed themselves because their unable to present their performance well against Atlanta, could you imagine Liverpool was having a early goal which was even given me hope that they can maintain their consistent and try add the remaining two to stop the aggregated but they make that possible due to how they perform a very poorly performance.

[rahmad2nd]

This time my three predictions were right on target, according to my estimates. Previously I said Liverpool would win this match, but I was not sure they would qualify for the next phase. and yeah, Liverpool was only able to score 1 goal. unfortunately, if I bet on Over, it means the match doesn't match my expectations. I think there will be a lot of goals in this match. in other words, Liverpool must be eliminated and what is certain is that many of their fans will be disappointed.

West Ham vs Bayer Leverkusen match, the match ended in a draw with a score of 1-1. A draw is enough for Xabi Alonso's squad to advance to the next round, and prepare tactics to fight with the team that will be their opponent in the Europa League semifinal match later.

Well, this match is the one I'm most looking forward to, AS Roma vs AC Milan.
There were many who doubted Roma, even from the first leg. but what happened, De Rossi sent AC Milan home and did not continue this competition to Italy to focus on Serie A. In this match, AS Roma was able to beat Roma with a score of 2-1. even though one of the AS Roma players was given a red card in the 31st minute, until the first half ended, Milan was unable to break through the goal for De Rossi's squad.  In the second half, Milan was only able to reduce their defeat in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, it didn't take Stefano Pioli's team through to the next phase. well, it's just a matter of time for Stefano Pioli to let go of the coaching chair at AC Milan. Overall, this match was as I predicted. well, quite entertaining.

To make a come back on three goals is not something possible for Liverpool because they don't know how to make proper use of their chances. They had a lot of chances today even Sallah missed a good chance.

It was since the last match that I knew that it is impossible for Liverpool as they find it difficult to score just one goal. Even in today's match, they also find it difficult to net the post apart for the PKwhich was taken by Sallah. Milan was the club that I thought will be able to have a come back in Rome, but it was not easy for them, since De Rossi understand the pattern he can use to overcome Milan out of his way.

Liverpool played quite well in this second leg, even though they played as guests, but they dominated the match more than Atalanta. They also had several good opportunities which could have been the second goal, but their finishing touch was not that good. I think the 3-0 defeat in the first leg was quite a pressure for Liverpool, as a result, in tonight's match they were unable to play freely and in the second half it was clear that Liverpool looked very frustrated. Atalanta deserved to get a ticket to the semifinals because they played very impressively in the first leg.

[nurilham]

Trying to come back from a massive 3 goals advantage is always difficult and I can even term it impossible although they are some rare occasions that teams do make it possible but with the current losing mentality that has befallen the team,  I knew it would be hell for them to make it possible for the comeback.

Indeed. Scoring 3 goals isn't easy, specifically when Liverpool play against a team from Serie A. Atalanta has a good defense, it is not easy to steal goals from Atalanta. Moreover, the match is in Atalanta home, they play with more motivation. I think Liverpool was already destroyed in Leg 1, when they got 3 conceded goals at their home. Today, it will be a too difficult match, so we can understand if they failed today.

Goodbye Liverpool and Milan who are the 2 strongest candidates to become champions with the quality of players and experience they have but they must be knocked down surprisingly in the quarter-finals even though we know that this is not too strange in the Europa League because every season there are always surprises like this.

Yes, Liverpool and AC Milan are 2 candidates for the final. Sadly, we must see them eliminated earlier in the quarter final round. Now, we only have Leverkusen and AS Roma as the candidates for the winner. However, I think Leverkusen will remain the most favorite team to win Europa league this season. They are still unbeaten!

[Furious 7]

Goodbye Liverpool and Milan who are the 2 strongest candidates to become champions with the quality of players and experience they have but they must be knocked down surprisingly in the quarter-finals even though we know that this is not too strange in the Europa League because every season there are always surprises like this.

Liverpool were eliminated after their momentum crumbled in domestic competitions and in the first leg which was devastated by Atalanta's 3 goals.
In today's match they were not bad with the ball control they had and the strong determination they continued to do even the penalty goal in the first 10 minutes was a good breath of fresh air but in this match Atalanta did not care about the 1 goal Liverpool got and continued to focus on parking the bus and defending well.
Liverpool had difficulty penetrating Atalanta's defense, which totally defended for 90 minutes of normal matches this time, making some players frustrated because of the difficulty of penetrating the defense that Atalanta had.

11 Atalanta defenders (because they only focus on defense) in the end succeeded in making the great strength and probability of the club that will become the champion just disappear at this time because the strongest club in terms of players and performance has been eliminated now.

Leverkusen again avoided a defeat and their unbeaten record is continuing. They will meet Roma in semi finals and they will repeat their semi final meetings last season.

Well, Xabi is indeed quite careful about that. In fact, some of the top players are usually saved to compete in the second round. This can really minimize injuries and maintain performance in the first and second half

Leverkusen's victory over West Ham took them to the semi-finals. This will be very interesting because Leverkusen is the only club from the Bundesliga that is still progressing in the Europe League.

It's going to be very hard for any team to break Leverkusen's unbeaten record. It was Liverpool; I had hoped that they could break that unbeaten streak, but finally, Liverpool was eliminated by Atalanta. So now I think Leverkusen may probably win this Europa trophy unbeaten. I don't really see any team that is stronger than them in the competition. Again, Roma may give them a tough time, but I have confidence in Leverkusen that they will win against Roma. And if they win against Roma, why am I saying this? It's because Leverkusen is fully focused on the Europa League now. There's no other competition that will divert their attention because they have already won the Bundesliga."

[Queentoshi]

West Ham vs Bayer Leverkusen match, the match ended in a draw with a score of 1-1. A draw is enough for Xabi Alonso's squad to advance to the next round, and prepare tactics to fight with the team that will be their opponent in the Europa League semifinal match later.

West Ham should have scored all their goals in the first half, but they could not, and in the second half Bayer Leverkusen improved so much that they started becoming more of a threat to the West Ham defenders. Their late goal took away the remaining hopes of the West Ham players that they could equalize. This is an added win to Bayer Leverkusen's good record this season of being unbeaten.
Atalanta did well to make sure Liverpool could not get back into the game, their tactics to defend really worked.

Leverkusen's treble hopes are now wide open in terms of chances, let's hope they don't follow the other 2 favourites who were eliminated unexpectedly.

Liverpool were playing very well from the beginning of the season, but when it got closer to the end of the season, they started to play badly, which looked like the same Liverpool as last season. but that in my opinion is because last season Liverpool had certain players and this season they have exactly the same players, so if last season's squad failed to bring good results, what led the Liverpool coach to think that the same squad that failed last season, would it bring good results this season? it just doesn't make sense. Liverpool should have made some signings in last year's transfer window. If a team does not invest in signings, then that team cannot expect to obtain good results. If we look at Liverpool's opponent, Atalanta, they are not a strong team. in other words, liverpool was eliminated by a weak opponent, but as liverpool is very weak, that's why they were eliminated

The match between Roma and AC Milan goes well for Roma in the first half. They got too quick goals to lead AC Milan 3 - 0 in aggregated result. Even it is only temporary, it is big advantage for Roma but there is a moment in the first half, Celik made a foul to stop Leao and got a direct red card.

When De Rossi arrived at Roma I also thought he would fail, but when he won the first game with Roma and I could see that Roma were playing very well, I could understand that it was the best decision that Roma management took in hire him. It's funny that I read people's comments on YouTube saying that De Rossi was lucky in the first victories because they were games against weak teams, when Roma lost in the game against Inter, people's comments increased, they were critical comments. but in the following games De Rossi won and even though he won, people kept saying that he won because he was playing against weak teams. So I wonder what people will say now that Roma have defeated Milan.

see that roma in this game was playing with only 10 players since the 30th minute of the game



I believe that if Roma in the 2 half had been playing with 11 players on the field, then Roma would have been able to score more goals, Zeki Çelik is a defender, so with the red card he had, it caused Roma to be weakened in defense , so Roma started to play in defense after the red card. But if Roma hadn't had the red card, I believe they would have scored more than 2 goals and would have won this game more comfortably

Leverkusen's victory over West Ham took them to the semi-finals. This will be very interesting because Leverkusen is the only club from the Bundesliga that is still progressing in the Europe League.

Bayer Leverkusen apparently didn't want their current unbeaten record to end at the hands of West Ham, so Leverkusen played very enthusiastically and finally equalized the score in the 89th minute. This result makes Leverkusen even stronger as a candidate to win the Europa League this season after favorite Liverpool were finally eliminated by Atalanta.

From this draw with West Ham, Bayer Leverkusen qualified for the Europa League semifinals with a 3-1 aggregate lead. In the semifinal match, Leverkusen will face AS Roma after eliminating AC Milan, who is also the favorite team to win. This will be the most intense match between the two teams, because As Roma were also runners up in the Europa League last season.

[QueenVera]

But Atalanta made a good defense in the first half. and this is what makes it difficult for Liverpool to score goals again. With the first half ending with a score of 0-1, I think Liverpool will still have difficulty scoring goals again even in the second half which will start soon. But if Liverpool can find gaps in Atalanta's defense then scoring 2 more goals in the second half will be a less difficult task for Liverpool. The problem now is that we know that clubs from Italy always have a defense that can be superior. Liverpool controlled the ball throughout the first half but they still couldn't make a more optimal attack. And J.Klopp might come up with a slightly different strategy to break down Atalanta's defense in the second half. Let's wait and see.

Sadly the first leg ended shamefully for Liverpool as they lost big at home to Atalanta and this only gives the Italian side extra courage to battle out the second leg strongly tomorrow. Liverpool has all it took to suppress their opponent and yes majority envisioned an encounter this season against Liverpool and Leverkusen but sadly I don't think it'll happen. Liverpool are an extra goal below cos of aggregates and it'll really take a miracle that they play Atalanta today without letting them net a goal and they covering up the pending goals too.

 Atalanta have been an improving side overtime. They've had some rough edges but their performance in the league is still seen. Even though they may not be top trophy contenders, they're trying to stay in the domestic league instead of relegating. They'll be playing against Liverpool in the next phase of the UEL and goodnews is they've been able to gather enough confidence and momentum for the game which still puts them in and advantageous spot of finishing with a tangible result regardless.

 Of both teams, there's struggle atmosphere present and even though Liverpool won't take mercy with them, the both teams will strive to see that they either win or get a draw at the end of the first leg. One would have to wait patiently for the game's final result. There'll definitely be an advancement of either teams after the second leg of the contest.

 The EPL is competitive too and so focus should be put in it but the UEL trophy to me would actually have more worth than the EPL. The outcome so far has given and will give Leverkusen the confidence to forge ahead for the trophy too, well it'll be everly glorious that they secure the two trophies this season. It only shows how prepared they were/are and will be for the battle.

Leverkusen's victory over West Ham took them to the semi-finals. This will be very interesting because Leverkusen is the only club from the Bundesliga that is still progressing in the Europe League.

I don't know the motivational spirit that is in Leverkusen which makes them never to give up until the match is over. I could remember when they were plying against Qarabag in the second league knock out stage, it was 2-0, and Leverkusen was able to draw that match 2-2. The players are always willing to score no matter the little time left. Leverkusen will reach the finals, but I don't know if they will lift up the trophy, because we might see something different on that day.

[Promocodeudo]

Liverpool has lost it, this is why it is advisable for people to take their chances serious, Liverpool missed it the last  time, how would such a team like Liverpool allow their opponent to win them with such a goal gap, though it is possible for any team to be involved in such situation but it shouldn't be in a game thats crucial as that match, I expected Liverpool to close that gap that same fay but they failed to achieve and what do we expect from Atlanta, atlanta did there best to win the first leg with a comfortable goal and in this second leg they did as expected by their fans which is defending the existing goal, they qualification the qualification to the next stage and I think Liverpool should learn the next time.

[Smartvirus]

The EPL teams are getting eliminated out of international competitions by the day. Yesterday it was Arsenal and Manchester City out of the UCL, today it’s West Ham United and Liverpool out of the Europa by Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen. What’s become of EPL teams in internal competitions.

West Ham weren’t so good today, they didn’t do much to be more offensive and even so, they let loose some unbelievable chances like the ball that was sent flying by the eventually equalizing goal scorer for Bayer Leverkusen, that was a terrible chance to have been given away and he couldn’t take it but, still came back for a redemption mood and got his goal eventually.

After seeing the result of the first meeting between Liverpool and Atlanta in Anfield, I knew Liverpool will not survive it. Many people believed that Liverpool will make a miraculous comeback back as they did against Barcelona in the past, but everyday is not Xmas. I can confidently say that Klopp messed with his chances and it is very clear to him that he made wrong decisions by not taking the first leg in Anfield so seriously.

In the other side of the English clubs, I didn't even expect Westham to resist Leverkusen but surprisingly they nearly upturned the result of not that this season is purely for Xavi Alonso and his boys.

Now Italy and Germany will retain the first two places in the UEFA club rankings and will receive 5 tickets to the Champions League, while the Premier League will remain with 4. Few people believed that all English clubs would reach the finals, but probably even fewer believed that they would all be knocked out in two days.

Bayer broke Juventus' record and I think it will stand for many years, if not decades - 44 games without defeat is incredibly difficult to repeat at the level of the top 5 leagues in Europe.
