UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[bitgolden]

Everyone talks about how Leverkusen do not need to care about the final game of the bundesliga, but they have been unbeaten so far, 50 games if I am not wrong, and they have just three more games, one more bundesliga game, on cup game, and one europa game.

I think when you have this little amount of games left, trying to win them all would be the way to go, "not caring" doesn't seem to be possible for them anymore. I mean can you imagine if they ended up losing right here? That would be horrible, if they lost like 10 games ago then I would understand losing this too, but they have gone unbeaten so far, that has to be counting for something. I think they care about winning all three games very much and will try to do that.

It will be useless for them to accept defeat now that they only have 3 games left to make history, and that is what is more important to them which is winning all their remaining games and make history. It is shocking to see that upon all the tough clubs that Leverkusen played this season with a total of 50 matches, they have not been defeated in all competitions.

This season is a good season for them and will be a remarkable one if they finish the season unbeaten with two trophies to show how quality their performance was. Arsenal was only able to record their unbeaten record in domestic league and not in international competitions. Leverkusen have proved that both in domestic and European competitions they can achieve their unbeaten record with the few matches left. They will win Europa but it will not be easy because they are facing a deadly squad.

Is only one game and is a final, but is gonna be a very fun and interesting one to see for all of us who are neutrals and loversof the football, both teams play a very offensive and well played football, so we can expect a good spectacle.

Atalanta has showed us how they can destroy a better team like they do with Liverpool so i think Leverkusen has to take some cautions against Gasperini team.

When both teams made it to the final with a difficult journey it is certainly not worth it for us to underestimate either of them, most of us here make Leverkusen favourites but never thought if maybe Atlanta would be able to give a surprise and even a first defeat for Leverkusen later, currently Atlanta is the only Italian team left in the Europa League and that shows the magnitude of the mentality they have at the moment,  Although Atlanta are not able to compete in the Scudetto race but they are still able to compete in the Champions League zone at this time and we also cannot forget how they fought in the Coppa Italia to reach the final.

I think for now the performance of Atlanta and also Leverkusen is not much different and of course it has the potential to present a fierce final that will happen in the Europa League this season, compared to Leverkusen, Atlanta has a pretty busy schedule but I think it will not affect Atlanta chances of being able to beat and win the Europa League this season.
I think still both teams will have a 50/50 chance of winning the Europa League this season because of the motivation and ambition of both teams at the moment very big.

Bayern Leverkusen must not be complacent with what they have achieved so far. Their admirable struggle must be completed perfectly even though sometimes the path is not easy. Not only me, perhaps almost everyone really wants to see a new history in football competitions where one team is able to win three titles without losing at all and that is very impressive and difficult to repeat.

The Coppa Italia final will start in a few hours, Atalanta can field their best squad in this match when they face Juventus. Two days later Atalanta will face Lecce in Serie A, and five days later Atalanta will play the UEL Final again against Leverkusen. A busy schedule can drain Atalanta players' energy, but Gian Piero Gasperini can rest his core players when his team visits Lecce headquarters. I think there is still time for Atalanta's core players to recover their stamina if they are played in the Coppa Italia final, hopefully Atalanta can match Leverkusen's strength so they can present an ideal Final.

The Coppa Italia Final match will of course be the priority now after that they will think about the Europa League final match, I think that's the most important thing and the Serie A follow-up match isn't that difficult for Atalanta anymore and their position is also quite safe now in the standings.

That is not a problem for a team, especially for reasons of fatigue, and indeed a big team like Atalanta should be able to give priority to the important matches they will play.

In fact, if Atalanta succeeds in winning the Coppa Italia title this season, it will make them even more confident going into the Europa League final match against Leverkusen, indirectly it will have quite an impact on the mentality and self-confidence of the Atalanta players.

[QueenVera]

I don't understand what you have written in anyway here lol, but I feel like you're talking about Jurgen Klopp having a sad ending with Liverpool, Yeah?
All good things comes to an end and there's nothing we can do about it. He had a poor last season with Liverpool and thus season not going the way he had In his head.
Even with him Manchester City had a back to back and now they're up to do it for the fourth time in a row. I see Pep Guardiola has plans of doing a new record from the way Sir Alex Ferguson did it.

Liverpool didn't also get it cool in the European Europa League Competition, All hail Atalanta as they let them go on with just a single trophy this season.
That final gone be bloody as we gon be seeing two attacking side do this thing brilliantly.

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 was there. He had been able to put the team in the spotlight which they need to excel but luck didn't just shine on them. 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, that's also what I'm thinking at the moment, they have overcome the challenges and managed to record an unbeaten record, so when they don't care about their last match in the Bundesliga because they are already guaranteed champions in my opinion that's not good, because they will miss the record that already exists in in front of them. And it will be history for them as long as they are in the Bundesliga, that opportunity has come and it would be a shame if they just missed it.
Would they also be that easy to let go of something in their grasp? I don't think so, they're going to stick with it and this is their last game in the Bundesliga, and it's also going to be a game where they're playing home, so they have to give it to their fans. Maybe their supporters are now very satisfied with what they have got, but there would be nothing wrong if they gave them a bonus with a record without defeat for a full season.

[joniboini]

If I remember correctly, the final Bundesliga match happened on the 18th, against a team who never won in their last 4 matches. The UEL final happened on the 23rd, so there are four days to take a breather. I dunno how important a season without defeat is, but I'm sure good player management is necessary to make sure they have good match fitness for the final while being sufficiently rested. Even if some people view UEL as a second-tier competition, I'd still take it if I could only choose between winning it and losing the final Bundesliga match. Maybe we should move to the Bundesliga thread if we want to focus on that though.

Playing without defeat throughout the season is a great achievement, and will certainly be recorded in history, and this is not a question of whether it is important or not but about an achievement whichwill certainly be difficult to achieve. Also, I think that even though Bayer Leverkusen willcertainly be the favorite team but still, basically Atalanta also still has a chance to win and of course, there will also be those who choose Atalanta. After all, the final match is a match between the two best teams and therefore, the finalmatch will always be interesting even though it sometimes brings together a team withbetter quality against a team with perhaps lower quality.But the point is,in Europa League final this season I think it is clear thatBayer Leverkusen really has a very good chance of winning.

You wrote a completely correct speech. Now Bayer Leverkusen has a title to protect, and this title allows them to be close to not only the Bundesliga title, but also the title of the team that plays consecutively without losing in the world. They only have 3 matches ahead of them to improve this record further, and after winning these 3 matches, they can raise this title more easily next year. We can say that it is a great challenge for Xabi.

[Fausto Arta]

I think compared to Leverkusen it is Atlanta who are a little busy with their schedule later, but even so I am very sure if Atalanta will provide a very strong fight in the final match , so far Leverkusen is the favorite team to win the Europa League but still the potential surprise will be given by Atlanta to Leverkusen in the final match later.

It seems like everyone knows that Piero Gasperini as Atalanta coach is able to rotate the players well, maintain the quality of performance and is able to maintain the physical fitness of the main players and in fact, in every match in Series A, Atalanta is able to get 3 winning points from their opponents and this is not something difficult, as long as Atalanta can continue to maintain its consistency.
I fully support your opinion, if in the future Atalanta will definitely put up resistance and will not let Leverkusen win easily or at least Atalanta will try to get the European League title this season even though Leverkusen is far superior but Atalanta is really very strong at the moment, almost on par with the performance they have Leverkusen.

Leverkusen under the command of Xabi Alonso has the opportunity to win the treble this season, after they won the Bundesliga and are still competing in the Europa League and DFB-Pokal. Bayer 04 Leverkusen reached the final of a major European club competition for the third time, having previously been to the final of the UEFA Cup in 1987/88 and the UEFA Champions League in 2001/02.

In the final, Leverkusen will face Atalanta, who in the other match beat Marseille with a score of 3-0 to seal a 4-1 aggregate. Meanwhile, the top match will be held at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin on Thursday 23/5/2024.

Leverkusen will make new history if they can win all the remaining matches for the remainder of this season. But the question now is whether they will be able to do it or not. And I think they'll probably be able to do it. But it is also possible that they will experience at least one defeat. and what I'm really worried about is the Europa League Final. Because I see Atalanta as stronger than Roma. And we can see Leverkusen having difficulty beating Roma. And now in the Final Leverkusen have to face Atalanta who are stronger than Roma. I say Atalanta is stronger than Roma because Atalanta won against Roma in Serie A. And Atalanta is currently ranked better than Roma in Serie A. So the final match will actually be the most difficult match for Leverkusen.

Not only me, perhaps almost everyone really wants to see a new history in football competitions where one team is able to win three titles without losing at all and that is very impressive and difficult to repeat.

This has to be one of the best part of this season if only Leverkusen can get it done completely and it becomes a reality that they actually got to create such a record at a point in time in the history of football and so far they have been able to maintain it till they have just a game to go both in the bundesliga, the Europa and the sfb polka respectively, they look to me like they are most definitely going to be able to make it through to all of the leagues mentioned above while still been able to maintain the records.

I don't know for sure if such a record as this has been recorded before in football or it's been a long time since they last saw anything of such in football history because I honestly haven't gotten to hear of something like this since I got to loving the game but I know for sure there are teams who has been able to win a trio in a season but staying unbeaten in the three leagues is definitely not common, Manchester city actually got a trio last season but they weren't unbeaten in any of the three leagues, Bayern Munich have won a trio aswell but didn't get to stay unbeaten all through the season and that's the uniqueness in the record Leverkusen is setting.

The feeling of what defeat is is an experience Leverkusen is yet to have this season and I believe they may eventually not even get to experience it because they are still in a very good and sound frame of mind to handle the remaining games ahead of them to the finals of the leagues this spams across the three leagues wherein they are participating this season, this has actually gotten them a different kind of attention aswell.

This is a good season for Leverkusen to get a very fantastic thing and they are just one step away from getting the trophy so seeing this situation, it is certain that they will try hard to set records and make achievements that they have never gotten before.

Currently, Leverkusen have managed to set a fantastic record where they have never lost in 50 matches. Now of course there is a new target where they want a treble because it is very close to them so there is no reason for Leverkusen not to play seriously at this time because this is an opportunity that not even all clubs can get and opportunities like this for them are very rare so this momentum must be used as well as possible.

The final will definitely be very interesting because Atalanta also currently wants a positive result where they are now in 2 finals (Europa League and domestic competition) so indeed both clubs will not just give up now.

Leverkusen have 3 games left in the season and I think they are all important games. Beating Augsburg would make them undefeated champions in the Bundesliga. Beating Atalanta will make them UEL champions. And beating Kaiserslautern would give them the treble winners. And Leverkusen will go down in history as the first and only team in Europe or even in the world to have never been defeated in one season in all competitions! That is a crazy record that no one has ever achieved and Leverkusen only needs to keep the remaining 3 games unbeaten. I'm sure Leverkusen will be able to beat Augsburg or kaiserslautern but the match against Atalanta makes me a little worried. Atalanta cannot be underestimated because they made it to the final after beating the favorite team, namely Liverpool. This will really be a very interesting final match.

The unbeaten record they’re trying to complete will be their push and energy in this remaining matches for them to be played to end the season. I have full confidence in them to bring those three trophies home after securing one of them. Every team and their players needs something they’re fighting for to make them work harder and that has been proven by Bayern Leverkusen. An indeed spectacular season for them and I just hope they complete the unbeaten run that team has ever done before in the history of football.

I know Atalanta would have given a full consideration in this match like it would if it was the Europa League final match. They lost the game tonight to an early goal scored by Vlahovic in the early minutes of the game. They just have the Europa League finals to fight for and that also against a team fighting for a treble this season. They are both anxious for that cup and Atalanta’s loss today will be channeled into that final to win and compensate the loss today. This will be an interesting finals to watch and we wish for the better team to win that day.

[Obari]

So many persons are saying Real Madrid are the favourite to win the Champions league,they even show that in the odds they give to them. I laugh because it's really going to shock them when despite the odds,Dortmund are going to lift that trophy from them.What really makes me feel so convinced that Dortmund will win is how solid they seem to be when it comes to their defense line.They made things very hard for PSG the day they played them,and finally won that game by a goal to one.It didn't matter whether they were given the highest odds,but I'm sure they will shock the world with their performance.I know they might not really play the best of football in their league,they are always often won,but they know the champions league is their last chance of making it come home,so they have to try all they could,to bring it home.

This is very correct, Bayer Leverkusen will have the opportunity of making more history if  they are able to win all the matches left for them especially the 2 major finals, Leverkusen most challenging game is going to be defeating Atalanta in the Europa league finals since they are already champions in their league and they are also looking forward playing their cup finals with a team in the lower division and I think they are in better position of winning the cup looking at their good records this season. The most important them this season will be having a treble trophy for Bayer Leverkusen and if they can achieve that with the unbeaten run they are right now then it will be the biggest record they have had in their history but of course they need to keep their performance flying and don't let the praises they are getting right now affect them performance so they don't get distracted in any of the games.

The loss against Juventus is not a good thing for Atalanta, because It affect their mentality negatively. This shows Atalanta having a split focus between aiming top four, Copa Italia final and Europa League Final. This situation don't get used to this situation that makes them not able to perform their best form when they are under pressure.

Juventus is also a good team that put big effort o this game, because this is the only available chance for them to win a trophy. They are more experience than Atalanta in this kind of situation, so I think it's understandable that Juventus won the game and lifted the trophy. Atalanta need to improve their performance when they are under pressure if they want to win Europa League trophy, because playing in a final of european stage need a strong mentality.

[imamusma]

This is very correct, Bayer Leverkusen will have the opportunity of making more history if  they are able to win all the matches left for them especially the 2 major finals, Leverkusen most challenging game is going to be defeating Atalanta in the Europa league finals since they are already champions in their league and they are also looking forward playing their cup finals with a team in the lower division and I think they are in better position of winning the cup looking at their good records this season. The most important them this season will be having a treble trophy for Bayer Leverkusen and if they can achieve that with the unbeaten run they are right now then it will be the biggest record they have had in their history but of course they need to keep their performance flying and don't let the praises they are getting right now affect them performance so they don't get distracted in any of the games.

That's right, Xabi Alonso must ensure that his players are not careless about the various praises they receive, as well as the various expectations placed on them, this can be a very dangerous psychological poison. Apart from one remaining match in the Bundesliga, Xabi Alonso will definitely prioritize his focus in facing the final match versus Atalanta. If you look at the situation, I think Leverkusen is very lucky, because Atalanta is not as strong as we imagine, the Serie A representative just suffered defeat in the Coppa Italia final against Juventus.

This of course gives Leverkusen a higher chance, because if the inconsistent Juventus are able to beat Atalanta, it is clear that it should also be quite easy for Leverkusen to beat Atalanta too. However, regardless of the surprises that might occur, Atalanta cannot be underestimated under any circumstances. The teams that reach the final certainly have good bargaining value, meaning they have the potential to beat each other, and Leverkusen in this case should be fully alert. The Europa League trophy will again change Leverkusen's history, which they previously recorded in the Bundesliga.
