UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Jody.Drummer]

2 clubs that have caught our attention now in the Europa League, especially Leverkusen who have managed to show great performance here as well as in the domestic league. Surely we will hope that they will meet in the final. But it's a long way to the final, and we'll never know whether they'll go down or not.
Focusing on Leverkusen, I hope they can maintain their current form, especially in the Bundesliga, I hope they can stop the dominance of Bayern Munich this season, although it is difficult but seeing their current performance they are quite promising.

It is certain that Leverkusen will remain consistent with its current performance until it can win a title the UEL as long as Leverkusen players do not suffer injuries. I am sure that Xabi will continue to help his club to perform consistently in this competition and in the Bundesliga and I still have confidence the management prepares a budget to give Xabi the freedom to determine which new players to recruit and Leverkusen to become stronger.

Leverkusen is trying to increase its target. It was failed to win europa league last season but it's coming back again. So, xabi has been putting target for his club. It's to motivating the club more than what he are thinking.
This is also the main reason xabi is trying so hard to make sure his club will able to defend its performance from any competitions. As long as the players will not be exhausted and leverkusen will be much safer. It's caused by having healthy players are the most important thing these days.
Leverkusen has some strong competitors in the europa league. It's a mandatory for xabi to push his players to perform beyond their limits. It's to make sure leverkusen can go to the final this season.
Xabi is always amazing when he was as a football player or coach. No doubt that there are many great coaches were respecting him a lot.

The depth of the squad should be a concern, as it will be very useful if they experience problems from their players, such as injuries for example. If a player is injured, then there is no other option for Xabi to rotate his players. Sometimes it has to be done not only in difficult situations, but actually it has to be done every time they get stuck in the game.
Xabi Alonso has so far been able to show that he has a good and diverse strategy, which is a major asset for him. The players also seem to be comfortable with Xabi's coaching style, yes that's natural because he has also experienced and felt when he was a player, so he can better understand what will make his players comfortable.

Liverpool is literally near the top at premier league, they had a tie last game and if they won that game then they would have been at the very top of premier league. You think Leverkusen is doing better than that?

I mean Leverkusen is fine there is no doubt about that but to say that they are better than Liverpool makes no sense to me at all, I believe that we need to focus on how amazing Liverpool is and I believe unless they end up playing with bench players or something, they are going to be the winners without a doubt, that's just how it is. I know that it is not going to be all that simple, but it is still one of the best without a doubt. I get that life is not that simple, and I get that we need to be careful, but it is just what it is and nothing is wrong with that.

I agree with you because with the performance of Liverpool on this season there is no way we can compare Bayern Leverkusen with Liverpool, although just like you said we cannot dispute the fact that Bayern Leverkusen is also very impressive this season with a lot of good wining but however is obvious that Liverpool is stronger than them.

This season has been one of the best season for Liverpool they have been moving from one wining to another also one of the things I like about them is that they are not just performing well in one league but also in all the leagues they are playing on this season.

This season has been one of the best season for Liverpool they have been moving from one wining to another also one of the things I like about them is that they are not just performing well in one league but also in all the leagues they are playing on this season.

Comparing Liverpool and Leverkusen, I don't see it good enough to say Liverpool is better than Leverkusen, going by statistical records, both teams have done really good for themselves this season, bit in their various domestic league and the Europa league where they're both playing so it will not be very okay to think one is better than the other.

By their performance they both stand potential chances of becoming the champions by the end of the season, moreover these two teams are playing in two competitive leagues, Leverkusen in their domestic league is currently trying to change a narrative which has promoted a good competition in their league as at this time, with Liverpool is also similar case and if you examine the squad dept both team are not equal but then they are both doing great, until they meet in the Europa head on and one wins the other I will not assume one to be better than the other.

Leverkusen is extraordinary in this season, they haven't lose any single match in their domestic league. In Bundesliga there are top teams like Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Leipzig, I don't think those are easy teams to beat.

Liverpool, everyone know who are them, but they've lose one match in their domestic league.

So which one is better? obviously Leverkusen.

[Godday]

This is also the main reason xabi is trying so hard to make sure his club will able to defend its performance from any competitions. As long as the players will not be exhausted and leverkusen will be much safer. It's caused by having healthy players are the most important thing these days.

I think Leverkusen will be able to be at their best as long as the players are healthy. Yes I agree with what you said. It's just that the biggest problem that worries me is if a team like Leverkusen has to face 2 high level competitions, of course it will affect the team's performance. This means that Leverkusen will not always be able to maintain their current level if they have to compete in the Bundesliga and Champions League. Because of that, I respect Xabi who has been able to maintain the team's consistency so far.

I can not choose Bayer Leverkusen and leave Liverpool behind, we know football outcomes results in, there are shocking news that make us become confused and uncertain with these football fixtures. Nevertheless, we expects only Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen to meet in the Europa League final. Liverpool will be the only team that have the capacity to face Leverkusen and probably the first club to break their unbeaten run. Bayer Leverkusen are only consider conqueror when it comes to Bundesliga and I don't think they can be able to maintain this balance when they face more top-flight clubs outside Germany. I know Xabi Alonso and his magnificent squad keep preparation for the bigger tasks ahead.

Talking about the performance of the two clubs between Leverkusen and Liverpool, I will not compare through the domestic league, but I will say about the fact performance in the UEL that both clubs have their own advantages, but they are still superior to Leverkusen, whose consistent strength is very large and has defense who are much stronger only conceded 3 goals while Liverpool conceded 7 goals since the group stage and Leverkusen have never been defeated while Liverpool have suffered 2 defeats.


From these several opinions it is clear that Leverkusen is very superior to Liverpool and its performance in the domestic league makes us even more confident that Leverkusen will be able to get title at UEL and I really hope that this club can achieve the target that Xabi is dreaming of, namely lifting the UEL trophy and get title in the Bundesliga.

The two teams are the ones that are attracting the most attention for the European League. but other teams might have to be considered, such as Milan, Lens, and Roma, who will still be fighting to take part in the competition.
Roma became a regular, even though in the end they didn't qualify for the group phase but they still had the opportunity to change everything.
many people favor Leverkusen. that's because of the impressive performance they showed. Leverkusen is a very strong team both in attack and defense.

Bayer Leverkusen does appear consistently both in the Bundesliga and in the European League, but we cannot compare the performance of the two, Liverpool is in a fairly tough league the Premier League, where the performance of the top 10 teams has impressive strength, while Bayer Leverkusen is in the Bundesliga, where their strength is only dominated Bayern Munich and Dortmund so to compare the two in my opinion doesn't make sense, we can compare it when we enter the round of 16 whether Bayer Leverkusen still can't be beaten because I'm sure sooner or later Bayer Leverkusen will definitely face difficulties because of the match they will faced in the European league it is clearly tougher.

I agree with what you said. We can't compare Leverkusen with Liverpool based on statistics in the League because that feels unfair. Liverpool plays in a league where clubs in the top 10 can even be favorites to win international competitions. So we will be able to judge Leverkusen's quality in international competitions like this only if they manage to progress further. I hope Leverkusen can meet a team from the Premier League even if it is not Liverpool.

Xabi is always amazing when he was as a football player or coach. No doubt that there are many great coaches were respecting him a lot.

Xabi Alonso can simply be defined as class especially from what he’s achieved as a player and what he’s currently doing as a coach. You can see class in it; the way he motivates and spur this Leverkusen side to gun for success is one sweet thing. Now this Leverkusen side who failed to win a trophy last season are already gunning for 3 trophies this season and it could be achieved especially if the squad still remains in fine form.

 Xabi always making the boys take every match like a final is one fine development for this young team and I think that’s one key to success and they’ve been able to play beyond their final strength and are now getting used to it. This alone will take them forward and help them take on every opposition, however I think they still need to add more players to their squad in the January window to strengthen it more

Bit unfair comparison between Bayern Leverkusen with Liverpool because level of Bundesliga and Premier League drastically difference, not really difficult for Bayern Leverkusen against Bundesliga opponent teams and difference with Premier League where Liverpool have to face many top teams from Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and many team with higher level performance. Current performance in domestic league Bayern Leverkusen have quit well but I don't sure how compete with Leverkusen when facing top teams from premier league keep defend unbeaten record? Its fair comparison when Bayern Leverkusen will face Premier League teams on round of 16 and se how compete with Leverkusen keep unbeaten match.

[Volgastallion]

What can happen if Manchester United sacks Ten Hag right now and calls Xavi Alonso to replace him? Is he gonna go to the big United or he is gonna remain on his team?

Im speculating obviusly but it can happen, i think if this offer exist he is gonna remain on Leverkusen, because he is doing so well and also because he was a former Liverpool player.

Let's wait and see how it ends because ya, even though Liverpool is in the Premier League which has difficult competition but ya, that doesn't mean the Bundesliga is a weak league. Because after all, if Liverpool is better than Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League this season, then Liverpool should not experience defeat against a mediocre team in the group phase.

After all, the fact is that Liverpool not only suffered one defeat but two, and Liverpool lost by Toulouse and Royale Union SG in the group phase of the Europa League this season. Thus, at least we don't need to compare Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen in their domestic league, because just compare their results in the European League at this moment at least Bayer Leverkusen still have better results.

Bayer Leverkusen's performance is no less good than Liverpool's, while under Xabi Alonso's control Bayer Leverkusen have turned into a team to be reckoned with, especially this season they have never lost in all competitions. Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are always mentioned as the teams that will win the Europa League trophy, this assumption is very natural because of their extraordinary performances this season.

The other teams cannot be underestimated either, they are ready to become a dark horse team that can create unexpected surprises. In a competition, consistency in matches is very necessary, a team must always appear impressive in order to win. Every team you face must not be taken lightly, you must prevent the slightest mistake in order to continue to survive until the final and then win the trophy.

But one big difference that immediately comes to my mind could be the experience that both teams had in recent years in European cups. Liverpool is way ahead in that regard. That doesn't have to mean much, but it could as Leverkusen might realize they are onto something this season and then hopefully don't become shaky during their game. I would love to see both teams play against each other and play their best game. Then I am sure those games will be entertaining as hell.

I do not expect them to meet at the finals, there are so many rounds before that game so it doesn't have to be a finals matchup. They may face each other as early as quarter finals, or might be semi finals too. That is why I do not really assume anything, because anything could happen. In that case, another team will face them in the finals, or who knows maybe neither would be able to go to finals? Not like it would be impossible, one of them could knock the other off and then lose the next round and not even be at the finals. In a case where they face at quarter finals, one moves on and loses at semi finals, I would laugh, but I would not be shocked about it neither, I think it would not be all that crazy at all.

We should consider all the possibilities and we should consider everything to be better in the end. I think we should consider it being a little bit weirder, it is going to be something that should matter to everyone involved in the end for sure.

Indeed. The performance of Leverkusen is very impressive, they can maintain good performance and never got a defeat. Bayer Munich, Leipzig, and Dortmund are strong teams, they have top players and play quite solidly. It is not easy to compete with them in the league. However, Bayer Leverkusen can deal with he quality of these teams. They never got a defeat against them this season.

No doubt Liverpool is also a strong team. They have cool history in UCL, too. It is difficult to choose which team is better between Leverkusen and Liverpool. But if we consider the current stats, Leverkusen looks much better.

It's just that the biggest problem that worries me is if a team like Leverkusen has to face 2 high level competitions, of course it will affect the team's performance. This means that Leverkusen will not always be able to maintain their current level if they have to compete in the Bundesliga and Champions League. Because of that, I respect Xabi who has been able to maintain the team's consistency so far.

Bayern managed to win away at Wolfsburg. Leverkusen did not make a mistake in the match against Bochum. Schick scored a hat-trick with 3 goals and Boniface scored the remaining goal. Bayern Munich has 1 match missing, but Bayer Leverkusen has guaranteed to finish the year 2023 as the leader. Xabi Alonso was the one who deserved the biggest praise for managing to create wonders from this team.

The contrasting experiences of Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen in recent years in European competitions could potentially be a significant factor for them to receive an adge of favoritsm. Liverpool has enjoyed considerable success and experience in every level of football. This wealth of experience can bring a certain level of composure and confidence to Liverpool when facing tough opponents in crucial moments.

Bayer Leverkusen, Who is also a big team in its own right, may not have the same depth of recent experience in European competitions as Liverpool. This doesn't necessarily determine the outcome of a specific match or season. Teams can undergo transformations and discover new strengths, as Leverkusen might be doing this season. The prospect of both teams playing at their best is undoubtedly exciting for football fans. When two teams with different histories and strengths face each other, it often results in entertaining and unpredictable matches.
