UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[asriloni]

And Galatasaray was eliminated from Europe. We didn't play well, if you play badly that's how it ends. Sparta Prague was a worse team than us, we shouldn't have been eliminated, but in this game, the one who scores and plays well wins.
Galatasaray should now focus only on the Turkish League.

I don't see Sparta Prague has a worst team than yours.  Sparta Prague sit in the 1st place in Synot liga (Czech Republic) just like Galatasaray in the Turkey Süper Lig. I know Sparta Prague will make a surprise move in this match as they are mostly undefeated in their home. This is a team with almost 10 undefeated home matches. So, I'm expecting them to beat Galatasaray playing away with them but I don't just expect such a winning gap.

It must noted that if galatasaray is much more popular and this is also people were valuing it very high compared to the sparta prague. We must also remember that how galatasaray was always consistently participated in the UCL and europa league while we rarely heard that like sparta participated in UCL.
There's nothing wrong if people become even more familiar to the sparta prague rather than galatasaray. Im talking about the fact here. It means that if sparta is not that strong right now but the consistency owned by the team makes it able to play differently compared to the sparta prague.
Let's talkg about the key point if galatasaray has better squad compared to the sparta but the things that played differently for sparta if this club was always able to have very good performance. It can be seeom from how roma was struggled to beat it.

Sparta was totally underrated team and as you said that if it's good in czech's league but i remind you that if the level of czech's league is still below compared to the turkish league. People are seeing sparta prague as a non strong club.
I can also accept this caused by this is the fact.

I can't believe that Galatasaray will fumble the bag despite having the advantage coming into this game. They started well and equalized pretty quickly which I liked but in the end, they lost woefully. Imo, that red card was what gave Galatasaray away. Sorry for being eliminated. I took an L too today from Milan and Gala but of whom lost to their opponents. This is why teams needs to be on their guards in return legs because anything can happen just like Liverpool vs Barcelona in UCL 2019 season.

Back to the Turkish league once more till later this year.

Its no surprise to me why Galatasaray was eliminated. Obvious reasons was mismanagement from board. They wanted to sell Boey to Bayern and wanted Angelino to leave team. Both deals were completed. But one of new players just arrived late (Köhn) so they couldn't add him to Europa League list. Other one "Aurier" literally arrived injured so he wasn't also used. Both of Galatasaray backs against Sparta Prag were actually different positioned footballers. Well Kaan is one, was shown red card.  I still think Galatasaray is better than Sparta as a team tbh. But they deserved to win last night.

[Mame89]

I didn't even believe that Galatasaray was defeated by a big score, but in fact it came true and my bet in this match was really unlucky. If you look at the first leg, Galatasaray game was quite good, but unfortunately in the second leg, they were not able to balance their strengths, so Prague managed to score 4 goals against them.

Even though previously Galatasaray were quite favorites to qualify for the round of 16 because the depth of their squad was much stronger compared to their opponents, but unfortunately they did not manage to advance to the next round. On the other hand, I hope that Roma succeeds in following AC Milan through to the next round.

What happened to Galatasaray was a surprise in football, where the top team could have lost, even before the match started, Galatasaray already had an aggregate of 3-2 in the first leg. But unfortunately Galatasaray didn't seem to expect that Prague would play with full strength like that, even in the 8th minute they managed to score a goal even though Galatasaray didn't equalize for long, but that didn't make Prague's players give up. Until entering the second half, Galatasaray players received a red card. At the same time, Prague managed to take advantage of their player advantage to continue attacking until they managed to score three more goals in the second half. This is a perfect result for Prague.

Galatasaray, who was previously the favorite, advanced to the next round but ultimately failed at home to Prague. Galatasaray also actually played quite well, but what ruined Galatasaray's game was after receiving a red card. The lack of players made Galatasaray unable to control the game. Yes. AC Milan and As Roma managed to qualify for the next round, this is also what I hope for.

Galatasaray should now focus only on the Turkish League.

The red card in the 70 minute greatly affected Galatasaray's performance we can see Sparta Praha scoring 3 goals after the red card and we can imagine if there is no red card maybe Galatasaray can advance to the next round. This is what is called a bad day can come at any time even though Galatasaray only needs to hold up to 20+ minutes to secure their position, the ability of Sparta Prague must also be appreciated when they can take the opportunity quickly and control the match while Galatasaray is under pressure.

Galatarasay was not lucky enough after it was getting red card and ic an't even believe how galatasaray was not able performing even better compared to the last season. I think that galatasaray must have learned a lot after it was failed on UCL caused by lost against copenhagen then it goes out from european competition after praha was able to beat it with pretty godo score.
There must be a lot of things to be done by the club. In my opinion that if galatasaray needs to strngethen its defensive line caused by club was not performing really well this season. The red card for unnecessary foul has been costing th eclub a lot and im still wondering what's wrong with that guy.
Galatasaray may possible to win the game through penalty if there would be no redcard but it's totally destroying galatasaray's dream to keep exist right now. Im feeling that if this club is performing even worst compared to the last season. No doubt that if people were doubting galatasaray.
This result is very disappointing many fans caused by they have been expecting galatasaray to get a ticket to go to the last 16. Another false hope from galatasaray and this keeps to play like shit.

Should the drawing result pit AC Milan against Leverkusen or Liverpool, it would become a significant match in the 1/8 finals and become an extremely engaging and entertaining contest. However, the early encounter if AC Milan has to face Liverpool or Leverkusen in the  1/8 finals.

[Jody.Drummer]

Finally AS Roma could advance to the round of 16 dramatically, they managed to defeat Feyenoord through a penalty shootout which ended with a score of 4-2 for AS Roma's victory. In the first leg they drew 1-1, and in this second leg they also had to draw 1-1 in normal time so they had to continue the match to the penalty shootout. Feyenoord really made it dificult for AS Roma, even when they won I don't think it was a surprise.

In another match, Rennes managed to beat AC Milan with a score of 3-2, but that was not enough to make them win because in the first leg they lost 3-0 to AC Milan, with this result AC Milan has the right to qualify for the last 16 of the European League. Rennes apeared all out in this match, they tried hard to beat AC MIlan, but AC Milan was too strong for them to beat. In the end Rennes had to lift a suitcase early in the Europa League this season.

It is interesting to look forward to the results of the draw in the round of 16 later, will we see the favorite club club meet first? or everything goes as planned? I mean the favorite club clubs will be brought together after the round is getting closer to the final. Either way, it's quite interesting to see the comptition in the Europa League this season.

As was predicted from the start, this match would be quite fierce because in terms of quality the two teams did not have a significant difference and when it came to the penalty shootout, Roma's mentality was a little better because they were playing at their home ground and there was also a little luck factor.
Overall, this is not surprising and Roma deserves to advance to the next round.

AC Milan's defeat was also not a big problem because according to Agg they were already 3 goals ahead in the first leg so they played carefree in the second leg.

[rahmad2nd]

Congratulations to Roma because they managed to advance to the round of 16. Today's match is full of ambition and also pressure from the Roma players, because they as runners up last season had to go through the play off round to qualify for the round of 16.
Today's match ended in a draw and continued into the penalty shootout round where Roma managed to finish the penalty round with a win and now they continue to progress to the round of 16. For De Rossi, this is a matter of pride for him because he doesn't have much experience as a coach but he managed to take Roma past the play-off round.

Yes, this victory is also very important for the Serie A representatives because in the round of 16 there are three representatives from Serie A, namely Atalanta, Ac Milan and Roma. So it is very likely that they will reach a further stage in their journey in the European league this season. We will see the draw for the opponents they will face in the round of 16 and I hope for a surprise in the round of 16.

In the end, De Rossi was able to bring his team through to the round of 16 of the Europa League.  Even though Roma actually won it through a penalty shootout, Roma was able to win this match and had the right to qualify for the next phase. For the rest, we'll just see how Roma progress when playing their matches in this competition.  Most importantly, De Rossi has answered many doubts about him when he was appointed to replace Jose Mourinho. 

Referring to the course of this match, Roma dominated ball possession in the first, second and extra time. Likewise in terms of tactics and opportunities and what Roma have, De Rossi's squad is quite good at doing its job. however, this match had to be expensive with several players reportedly injured. and hopefully, some of these players will not end up with long-term injuries. in particular, Dybala.
By the way, referring to what you said, in this competition Serie A has 3 representatives who qualify for the next phase.  However, it seems that it will be a tough match for Serie A representatives if they meet the teams who are favorites in this competition. Well, let's just wait for the draw for the last 16 of the Europa League.

This year Europa league is going to be so keenly contested as the remaining teams are so strong. Naturally some of the teams here are strong enough to compete in the in champoins league, but here they are in the europa league. Liverpool is toping the English premier league, same thing with Bayern Leverkusen and they are playing the europa league. Looking at the teams, it will be too difficult to say this team is the favourite to win the league.

Roma and Ac Milan's performance yesterday did not impress me because of how poorly they played. Let's just say that both teams are fortunate to have qualified for another round of the league. For this reason, I stated yesterday that Roma and Ac Milan cannot win this Europa League because of how poorly they perform even in their home league. Ac Milan even attempted to tie the game yesterday by scoring two goals, but Roma struggled and ended up drawing. If it weren't for penalty kicks and football luck, I think Roma would not be in the Europa League.

Leverkusen and Liverpool remain my favourites in this league; one of them will take home the trophy. Occasionally a game will change, ending in a team with a strong performance losing, but I have faith that one of them will win this season. There are many teams in this league that are more serious than Ac Milan and Roma, and even from their performance we will know that they are the one to win this title.

AC Milan's defeat was also not a big problem because according to Agg they were already 3 goals ahead in the first leg so they played carefree in the second leg.

I didn't think that this match would have to end until the penalty shootout and Roma really had an advantage because they were playing at home. It's quite surprising that Feyenoord can force Roma who are in their best form so far and I think these two teams have played very well over the two legs. But everything must be decided by one winner and here Roma won on penalties with a score of 4-2.

Talking about Milan, I have no doubts about them because after all they are one of the best teams in the European league and even though they lost at home to Rennes with a score of 3-2, that result doesn't change the fact that they will still qualify. It's just that in this match conceding 3 goals was something that was unexpected, even though in the first leg Milan played without conceding and if they didn't respond with another goal at home to Rennes, of course the result would go to extra time or even a penalty shootout.

Anyway, with this result, the Italian representatives increased by two more teams and previously Atalanta had advanced first.

There are many teams in this league that are more serious than Ac Milan and Roma, and even from their performance we will know that they are the one to win this title.

At this stage, teams think only about the result, everything else fades into the background. This is a very important victory for De Rossi, everyone understands that Roma will not be able to achieve great results in the EL, with such rivals as Liverpool or Bayer it will be very difficult to do this, but Roma was able to beat Feyenoord, and this is a very big plus for De Rossi. But the victory was in Mourinier style, extra time, and a victory in penalties. 

[xzone]

And Galatasaray was eliminated from Europe. We didn't play well, if you play badly that's how it ends. Sparta Prague was a worse team than us, we shouldn't have been eliminated, but in this game, the one who scores and plays well wins.
Galatasaray should now focus only on the Turkish League.

Galatasaray played very badly. They had no chance to win the match, especially when the team was down to ten players after receiving a red card. When we look at the goals they conceded, we can see that the fact that the team remained with ten players had a big impact. In fact, Galatasaray's strength was much greater than its opponent, its squad was much better, but unfortunately the players could not play as they should.
We all saw how ineffective Icardi was. Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to see a score like 4-1 in a match between these teams. We can say that it was a bit of an unlucky night for Galatasaray

But they deserved to win last night.

The club deserves it caused by it was doing some bad moves. Given their previous unsuccessful campaign in the UEFA Champions League, it wouldn't be shocking to witness this club's elimination from the Europa League too. The performance of Galatasaray has been affected by a multitude of issues, which have prevented the club from excelling as desired. The main obstacle will be the management itself.

It's caused by the intention to sell the important player has been also pushing the club to play with the inferior quality player. This is also decreasing the performance from galatasaray in all of european competition. Galatasaray is not performing that good in the turkish league as well.

Glatasaray was not performing very well, and it's a common thing to see that. Glatasaray needs to take this as a data to reevaluate the club. It's another embarassing result after this team was losing in the UCL with narrow score against copenhagen.

This turkish club must leave from european competition this season. Im still wondering what's going to happen with this soon. Another shitty performance from club was costing a chance to keep stay in the european competition.
No imrpvement happened to this club. Im seeing that if galatasaray is still performing so badly.

By the way, referring to what you said, in this competition Serie A has 3 representatives who qualify for the next phase.  However, it seems that it will be a tough match for Serie A representatives if they meet the teams who are favorites in this competition. Well, let's just wait for the draw for the last 16 of the Europa League.

De Rossi and his squad had greater luck than Feyenoord, qualifying for the round of 16 with a process that was not easy, namely penalties. I think the strengths of Roma and Feyenoord are quite equal, that why their fate will be decided in the penalty shootout round. Of course, this is a small achievement in De Rossi managerial career, it seems that he will indeed become a respected coach in the future. Slowly, Roma fans have been convinced by De Rossi that their former captain is indeed worthy of taking on the role left by Jose Mourinho.

Now Roma performance has improved for the better since De Rossi took over leadership, the coach experiments have succeeded in making Roma take a step forward into the last 16 of the Europa League. It is not impossible that Roma will meet one of the favorite teams, and De Rossi must prepare his squad mentality better. Among the three Italian representatives, I consider Milan to be one of the favorite teams who will probably be able to talk a lot in the European League this season. The draw for round 16 will be held today, and has the potential to bring together favorite teams.

Which team is your favorite?

It is really upsetting that we don't have Galatasaray in it anymore.    They should have been there instead of Sparta Prag however I think they are fully responsible of their poor result in the rematch at the same time.

Galatasaray players were like they didn't care about qualifying for next stage at all. They had many more dangerous attacks in the first leg at least but we couldn't even see that in the rematch. I don't even want to talk about their defending in detail. Because it was simply terrible. Muslera can't save this team all the time and this team definitely need their new transfers for left-back and right-back positions on the pitch in every single match.

[Godday]

It's time for Round of 16! Are you excited?

As expected. The only team that failed to progress to the next round after winning the first leg was Galatasaray. They managed to win 3-2 in the first leg but then they lost 1-4 in the second leg. The team that gets a draw passes according to my prediction. And the team that wins the first leg successfully advances to the next round.

My favorite teams are Liverpool and Leverkusen. Both are in the seeded teams. The non-seeded team that is my favorite is AC Milan. Interesting to look forward to the next matches.

It seems the lucky one replaced the special one. Daniele De Rossi might not have all the credentials of Jose Mourinho but it seems mother luck is on his side. He has recorded five wins in seven games and has now helped the club qualify for the Europa League round of sixteen. The coach seems to have the backing of the players and the management this is why the players are doing their best. The hero of the day was goalkeeper Mile Svilar who saved some penalties.

Coach De Rossi was happy with the player's performance but he stated in his match post-match interview that more work needs to be done. They had greater ball possession which is good but they created lesser goalscoring opportunities. Lukaku seems to be another lucky player because his decision to join Roma is becoming beneficial. He is contributing massively to the team and is gradually on his way to playing in European finals after leaving Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan is doing more better because they have the chance to win the Seria A and the UCL. Maybe he would have remained with the Nerazzurris.
