UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Blitzboy]

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 also want to see the match between the two teams but of course not in the first round I want to see this fight in the semifinals or even in the final, Liverpool may have more experience but now Leverkusen is in the best performance so it is worth waiting for in the final. Currently I haven't been able to see the match schedule for the European League and don't know who the opposite Bayer Leverkusen or Liverpool in the next match. Bayer Leverkusen is the only club that has a perfect victory in the group but Liverpool may have other considerations and matches are more important so they ignore a few matches. Curious who is better between clubs from Bundesliga and Premier League.

I agree with you that it will be exciting to see Leverkusen and Liverpool play each other later in the league. I've been following Leverkusen, and their defense is great this season. Despite not having outstanding strikers, their defensive plan has been successful. This excellent defense has kept them unblemished in the group stage, a feat not easily achieved.

Liverpool's experience and quality set them apart, but they seem more focused on the Premier League. Their group stage performance implies this concentration may weaken them in the Europa League. Any match between these two in the semis or finals will be worth watching. I can't wait to watch who wins

[Salahmu]

Leverkusen have had a perfect squad this season. Also their coach Xabi is very hardworking. Leverkusen are yet to lose a match in the Europa League and Bundesliga this season. So undoubtedly this team can be considered for the Europa League title. Liverpool's squad is certainly more experienced and stronger than Leverkusen's. Still, there's no underestimating the Leverkusen side. This team is also very strong. Moreover, Liverpool's main goal is to win the Premier League title. I don't think Liverpool have much interest in the Europa League title. Because we have not seen a very strong performance from Liverpool even in the group stage matches.

Of course Bayern Leverkusen has made a quite impressive performance this season and not just only the Europa League but also on there Bundesliga, actually I love the unity and understanding Bayern Leverkusen team have for each other because unity and understanding is one of the propelling factor that boost the performance of every team because if the players doesn't have an understanding among each other they are bound to be challenges and difficulties in wining matches, that's why we can easily identify such clubs through there performance.

This season is actually one of the best season for Bayern Leverkusen because they seem to be favoured on this season because if we check there statistics you will see how far they have gone especially on there Bundesliga, they have made such a wonderful performance and if they continue with that there is every tendency that they are going to win the Bundesliga.

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.

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.

If the experience and champion factors are an indication of a team being a strong candidate. AC Milan, which has won many champions league trophies, should not be eliminated easily in the group stage this season. and was forced to play in the Europa league because it was only able to rank third.
But even so AC Milan in the Europa League is also one of the strong candidates to become a champion besides Leverkusen and Liverpool.

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.

How has Liverpool been performing so well this season. We can compare them to the club you mentioned earlier, because I doubt Liverpool is significantly stronger than them. We can only compare Leverkusen with Bayern Munich, but not Liverpool. Everyone was stunned by Liverpool's they com strong this season because, even in the Premier League, no one expected them to finish second in the table. Liverpool has left an impression this season as a result of their efforts to win games. However, their performance in the Europa League has been disappointing. I don't think they'll be able to advance to the Europa League; perhaps this is why they're more serious in the Premier League.

Comparison may not be suitable here, but seeing how Bayer Leverkusen is doing in the Bundesliga is enough evidence to say that any team playing against them would have a hard time beating them. The Bundesliga may not be the strongest league in Europe, but it is a respectable league and if one team is unbeaten for so long and ahead of Bayern Munich, in my opinion it does mean something. But it remains to be seen. If we want a real comparison, we can only hope for these two teams to meet in the Europa League. Then we get the comparison we all would like to draw beforehand.

[Distraction]

Shakhtar Donetsk - Marseille can also be considered as an interesting draw. I don't feel like it will be a comfortable draw for Marseille in the first place. Because Shakhtar Donetsk have been doing a pretty good work so far. They fought really hard in their Champions League group despite clashing against two much bigger teams like Barcelona and Porto.

Their fate was decided by their last match in the group. They won against Barcelona home also. They are just trying their best despite losing many of their important players due to ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. 

I can't say Marseille are very impressive this season. So maybe we can watch pretty close games in this draw. 

[QueenVera]

I admit that Liverpool does have experience and success in the European league, but before the two teams meet we cannot compare Liverpool's experience of success and Leverkusen's experience, even though Liverpool has good experience in the European league, this cannot be used as a benchmark that Liverpool is familiar. with the European League competition, but we can see in the group stage this season, even though Liverpool has experience in the European League, Liverpool was not completely consistent in 6 matches and suffered 2 defeats, even though if you look at the group stage, Liverpool looks like the strongest team and their rivals are not comparable to Liverpool's strength but Liverpool did not get perfect points like Leverkusen did.

So we can see how the competition in the round of 16 will look like at the condition of the two clubs because however Leverkusen remains the favorite of most people with its consistency so far, Liverpool is also the favorite of many people knowing that in the Premier League Liverpool is able to compete closely with Arsenal and Manchester City so Competition in the European League will increasingly attract interest among football fans.

Liverpool has a vast of experience in Europe and you can’t compare to that of Leverkusen because it’s pretty was less and Leverkusen just started achieving European success of recent. Most of Liverpool current squad of players have tasted European finals twice and that’s a plus to the team. Yes, they suffered defeat twice but one interesting thing about those defeats is that they rested most of their player because they’ve already secured top spot already and are sure to qualify.

 Both Liverpool and Leverkusen are doing pretty well but I think Leverkusen will be favorites because they’re in a tight title race with some EPL top dogs and Leverkusen would want to cover up for their loss of the UEL last season, both I'm pretty sure both clubs would put up a show for us, based on their interesting performance in both the European league and their domestic league as well.

On paper Liverpool are much better and more experienced but this time Leverkusen came in a different way they underwent several competencies with perfect results of course this is worth considering and after my observations both teams are still at the same level this season. Oh yes, several teams have just come to this competition through the Champions League I mean the clubs that were eliminated in the Champions League will take their place here, such as Milan, Benfica and Galatasaray do they have a chance here?

Milan and Galatasaray eliminated from the champions league for being in the hell group and for experience there is no need to doubt obviously they have it
With the arrival of these new clubs, the strength in the European League will change maybe the champion candidate is here, who knows.

Liverpool might have made a perfect run during the group stage, but klopp was destroying it with all of his experiment to the club. I meant we can also remember when liverpool loses against toulouse. Liverpool used the garbage squad to beat tolouse. It means that if liverpool has a chance to go to the final but it must be passing the knock out stage first. Leverkusen is as strong as as roma and liverpool. It's hard to tell which club that is giong to be the winner of this season but im feeling that liverpool and leverkusen are going to cooking the league. These clubs are the only strongest club in the europa league. It's caused by the teams that are going down to europa league can be considered as a strong team as well. We will have newcaslte to come soon and this is the biggest threat for leverkusen and liverpool. newcastle is still in the trend of decline but leverkusen is still performing so well . Liverpool sees europa league as the easiest ticket that can be taken to the UCL compared to the domestic leage. The only most important task for klopp to make sure his players will not be exhausted due to the busy schedules.

Experience not always be factor for one team become strong candidate for winning Europe League, standard level teams have change drastically right now when team can build up their player with having much money and experienced more can help team as strong candidate become the winner. AC Milan as the only one teams in Europe League won many tittles of UEFA Champion League but their current composition right now not really impressive yet until eliminated in champion league group stage.

I think AC Milan left behind Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool are both teams with strong candidate to be UEFA Europe League winner team in this season and Milan have begin their journey in Europe League trough playoff round against Nantes.

We can favor Leverkusen and Liverpool as they have performed well in the competition. but we can't rule out the teams entering the Playoff matches, the time for the matches is still quite long. which will allow the team to prepare many things. I don't want to be surprised when I bet on a favorite team but suddenly lose unexpectedly. anyone would agree with Leverkusen and Liverpool. but their readiness for the next match will be more important. Teams like Roma and Milan might not be expected to make a splash in the Europa League, but anything is still possible.

This will be quite visible when the division of matches has been determined. We'll see which teams will qualify for the play-off match, as well as which teams they will meet in the next round. If Milan meets Liverpool or Leverkusen at the start, this match will not be interesting. I want to see strong teams in the final round. it will be a great attraction for fans who will rate the Europa League final as like the UCL.

Maybe I can say that Leverkusen has performed very solidly this season. They have a very good defense therefore even though they don't have a world class striker they are able to look quite neat and get the win with their defense. Coincidentally, they were also the unbeaten team in the group stage, but if you want to compare with Liverpool, I don't think it's suitable because we know Liverpool have a different level, whether in the League or in the UEFA European League group stage.

We can only say liverpool was on the different level due to the achievmeents owned by the club but if we are talking about another aspect like the performance of club and i can't even sure if liverpool is far better than leverkusen.
I meant leverkusen has coached by xavi which has been also playing for liverpool in the past. He may be knowing more about liverpool. I will not try to underestimate other club caused by this is going to be another disaster for the club.
Levekrusen is in the same level as liverpool right now. It's equal to the bayern in bundesliga and how can i call that if leverkusen was a weak team? it sounds non sense. I would rather than call it equal to the UCL club.
Leverkusen is not the same like when xabi was not there and it's evolving to be one of strongest club in the bundesliga. People know this so well.

Having a lot of experience is indeed a great factor too but yes, even though Liverpool have better experience than Bayer Leverkusen but still not a full guarantee for Liverpool to become a title winner. Because yes, at least they have different trends in each season so yes, even though Liverpool are still a title candidate team, of course it is still not easy for Liverpool to get it.

After all, that the Europa League may also be said to have surprises that seem to be able to happen. Like last season for example, about Sevilla who were very bad but in the end, Sevilla managed to win the Europa League trophy last season. Therefore, I think there is no definite guarantee for Liverpool, because sometimes seeded teams will experience failures that cannot be avoided.

Comparison may not be suitable here, but seeing how Bayer Leverkusen is doing in the Bundesliga is enough evidence to say that any team playing against them would have a hard time beating them.

Yes, that is proof that Bayer Leverkusen will not look at who their opponents are, big clubs or small clubs will not let them beat them In fact, Leverkusen ambition has become very aggressive after Alonso became their coach and always beats opponents in every match and what needs to be really appreciated their very strong consistency since started the season without experiencing a decline in performance and is still very strong in the Bundesliga and in the UEL.
It is enough to convince the fans that Bayer Leverkusen this season can achieve their dream of successfully getting the trophy they want and we all here are curious to look forward to this match, a meeting between two strong clubs between Liverpool and Leverkusen.
Most people here will definitely say the same thing that Leverkusen will be able to get a trophy in this competition.

Exactly Leverkusen and Liverpool meeting inter Milan at this stage will not drive home the fun and excitement it would have if they were to meet at the finals, I would prefer to see either of these teams meet at the finals and it will really drag so many attention because these teams are considered big in Europe, it will share similarities with UCL.

But then Liverpool's experience in the Europa beats that of every other team and so far Leverkusen has been doing so well, atletico seem new as that jus came from the UCL, Galatasaray aswell is looki weak to meet so I don't even feel disturbed or threatened by their presence in the Europa because they still don't look stable enough by my statistical analysis. The europa this season is really going to look interesting due to the presence of these teams from the UCL and the determined Liverpool alongside the newly tough Leverkusen sides, I really anticipate the meeting of these teams .

Though I understand you made a mistake with your choice of word pertaining the club you intended to write about,  but I think I should correct you.  Inter Milan isn't playing in the UEFA Europa League competition rather it is AC Milan that will be playing in the playoff Europa League after finishing third in the group F in the just concluded group stage of the UEFA champions league so I believe you meant to write about AC Milan and not their city neighbours Inter Milan.
Again, Atletico Madrid finished as the group winners of the group E in the UEFA Champions League and wouldn't be playing in the Europa League.

AC Milan who play Stade Rennais in the playoffs is one of the strongest teams of the competition and it's believed that they're surely gonna reach the round of 16 because their superior number of quality players.  But if they should progress and meet either of Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool,  they might be ousted from the competition by either of the two teams.

I don't think Leverkusen will take the trophy this season, because soon there will be clubs from the Champions League who can play with much better quality. But I liked the fact that they were able to surprise everyone in the group stage.

[QueenVera]

AC Mian heading to the Europa are seen as one of the favorites to win this competition judging from the way they performed and the quality of players they’ve, if they build their confidence level to match that of last season's then winning the UEL is not going to be a very big problem, despite the fact that Liverpool and Leverkusen are still in the tournament.

 They’re a team that’s quite determined and have a good experience on European football. But the issue os that they might possibly shy out when they meet with the big boys of the competition amd that’s one thing they need to work on before resumption of the competition in February. They need to fix up their injury issues so as to build a formidable squad to challenge for the Europa League else they’ll not be going far in that competition.

AC Milan as the only one teams in Europe League won many tittles of UEFA Champion League but their current composition right now not really impressive yet until eliminated in champion league group stage.

I think AC Milan left behind Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool are both teams with strong candidate to be UEFA Europe League winner team in this season and Milan have begin their journey in Europe League trough playoff round against Nantes.

We can favor Leverkusen and Liverpool as they have performed well in the competition. but we can't rule out the teams entering the Playoff matches, the time for the matches is still quite long. which will allow the team to prepare many things.

Teams like Roma and Milan might not be expected to make a splash in the Europa League, but anything is still possible.

That right, Liverpool and Laverkusen are the two initial teams that should be prioritized, which is understandable because they appear quite consistently here and in their respective domestic leagues. Milan is actually worth considering, In fact I think they have a better squad than Roma. but as you say, we need to leave room for surprises.

Milan playoff match against rennes, I think if Pioli squad is able to display the same strength as in the UCL group phase, they can qualify for the last 16 of the Europa league easily, because we know their chances in group f are slim because they are in the group hell. on paper, there is no doubt that they will finish the match and continue their struggle here, who knows they could be alongside Liverpool and Laverkusen in the list of favorites to win. I agree that historical factors have a big meaning, and influence the mentality of players in a competition, but this must be proven by achieving success again.
