UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Polkeins]

It was a tough night for Galatasaray, and it is definitely a shame that they lost that badly, and I believe that they are going to do something major with the team about that. They failed to have the full squad ready and we are in February right now, to think that a few players couldn't be ready for February games should mean that there is something wrong with the team, and that is why I believe that they are going to end up with much better transfers from here on out.

The problem with clubs is that they are not really that consistent with the staff, and when staff learns their lessons from mistakes, they end up getting fired for those mistakes and never show how they improved. Next season, I bet they will get players who are much more ready to play.

In general, Galatasaray had a series of 10 wins before the match with Sparta Prague! Ten matches in a row Galatasaray only won, including match with Sparta in Stambul, but then there was a game in Prague, which Galatasaray lost 1:4, although the match is the most important for the team. Turkish teams very often fail in such matches, although they play quite well before, but they can not tune in to the decisive matches.

I think no one from the management and the team will suffer here, because before this game Galatasaray played great and is still leading in the local championship.

Turkish teams really needs to make something, is a always a shame their participations in europe, they lose against much weakers teams and having a team full of well know or already stars in their starters, all player who come from the top 5 leagues.

What a luck for Sparta Prague man.... first Galatasaray and now Liverpool.

I don't think that it will be easy for Sparta Prague to play Liverpool, who is one of the strongest or if not the strongest club in the league, and they should know that they will be going home, because Liverpool will not allow them to come from behind, and win the match just like what they did yesterday. It was a great victory for Sparta Prague yesterday against Galatasaray who was winning the game with goal aggregate on the first half, but became weak on the second half to the point that Sparta Prague scored 3 goals in the second half, and snatched the qualification to the round of 16 from their visitors. This is the first time since 2016/2017 that Sparta Prague has qualified to the round of 16. Liverpool will put a stop on them.

🇦🇿 Qarabag v Leverkusen 🇩🇪

I'll try to make my prediction until the finals hehe, I'll think about it for a while

Sporting will have a great opponent, despite having escaped Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen, Atalanta are doing very well in the Italian championship and have won their last games, it will be very complicated, but with conditions for both teams, and in my opinion, it's almost a 50/50 chances

Benfica will face Rangers, who are top of the local league, and it won't be easy either, as they qualified first in the same group as Betis and Sparta
In this match, I'd say Benfica have a slightly better chance of qualifying

Which one the game is the most toughest among the draw

I so much love the progress of Brighton this season, Most especially in the Uefa Europa League Competition, they have just qualified for the very first time no doubts but take a good look at hoe far they've have come with Roberto De Zebri in this very competition. They've come this far and wouldn't have done it any better without the support of the fans.

The fixture with As Roma is by far the toughest in this round of the tournament whoever wins would definitely go a long way in this Competition.
The clubs between Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool are games they can definitely win. Ac Milan are big dogs in the European Competitions from way back. I can not day nothing about them.

Sporting Lisbon versus Atalanta, and Marseille against Villarreal are games difficult for me to predict.

The fixtures are tough for some of these gamblers to predict but it's rather consider simple for the experience ones. I'm solely behind Liverpool to lift the Europa title this season, they failed to qualify for the UCL spots and winning the Europa will be consider as an illustration for this particular club. The round of 16 remained competitive because the club's I'm seeing here are not mediocre but elite team. We know what it means, these elite teams will execute outstanding display on the pitch. Leverkusen and Liverpool are the promising clubs to reach the Europa final.

[len01]

There are still two more rounds to reach the final, each team has the potential to fall in the round of 16, even though the draw results bring together the seeded and unseeded teams. I predict AC Milan, Leverkusen, Liverpool, Sporting, West Ham, Benfica, Brighton and Marseille will advance to the quarter finals. This is only a temporary assumption, because the opportunities for these teams may change in the future, they may improve or they may experience setbacks. Liverpool is the favorite team to win in this seasons, after that there are Leverkusen and AC Milan. However, the European League is full of surprises, fortunately Sevilla did not appear this season, they failed to qualify for the play offs because they finished in fourth place in group B of the Champion League.

your choice is very right and the most important thing is that the main candidates to reach the final round are only Liverpool and Leverkusen who are currently considered very strong in the european league this season and I will not ignore Milan even though this team is also very consistent but it seems very difficult if In the quarter finals, Milan had to compete against Leverkusen and Liverpool, which would be a big disaster for Milan and the opportunity to reach the final would be more difficult if they had competed against one of the two strongest teams in the quarter finals.

but that's all just a momentary prediction that I'm thinking at the moment because after all in football there is always something surprising and something that happens that doesn't match our predictions and even strong teams can sometimes lose to being displaced a team that looks weak.
well, fortunately Sevilla didn't qualify for the european league after failing to get a seat to go to the european league and I can't imagine that if Sevilla could join the european league everything would definitely change in a surprising way like a strong team would be displaced Sevilla like last season when Sevilla won the title in the european league.
for now, we can pretty much predict with the limitations we see now, but after entering the quarter finals, it will be easier for us to predict more precisely.

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

Which team is your favorite?

This is really a tough Europa League and actually a competition that I am looking forward to. Of course the Champions League will always be king, but there is a multitude of options for a final in the Europa League that would really be top notch!

AC Milan, Benfica, Leverkusen, Liverpool, I would say those are my favorites and if were allowed to pick the finalists right now, I would enjoy Liverpool vs. Leverkusen the most. But a lot has to happen in order for that to become possible, not least that they don't play against each other before the final takes place.

But yes Benfica is playing an amazing season in their domestic league. No more need to talk about Leverkusen here and what they are doing in their domestic league. The same counts for Liverpool and I think that AC Milan is a team that can always win a game even against a superior opponent.

So my favorites are Liverpool and Leverkusen and if I had to go with one team, I would go with Liverpool because I think the energy in that team would be maxed out given the whole story that will be enfolding towards the end of the season as Klopp is leaving. What a goodbye would that be!

On the Left side, The teams I predict will win their games are Liverpool, Roma, West Ham and AC Milan

On the right side, Marsellie, Rangers, Sporting and Bayer Leverkusen.

For the finals, I predict Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.

The most difficult game in the fixtures is Roma against Brighton.

But at least, on the left side there are other seeded teams apart from Liverpool, because there are also Milan and AS Roma, which were previously discussed in this thread quite a lot about these teams have a chance of becoming title candidates. Therefore, for the next round which takes place on the left side, the seeded teams will bring together and of course it will be a more competitive competition compared to the teams on the right side. Even though there are still famous teams such as Marseille, Benfica, Sporting/Atalanta but still, the team that can definitely advance to the final is Bayer Leverkusen. Therefore, I think the competition that occurs on the left side will be a more interesting competition because it will bring together title candidate teams and make the competition more competitive in the left side.

Very strong teams in the cup have made it to the last 16 and are already scaring their opponents. In my opinion, the favorites for the cup are Liverpool, Leverkusen and Milan. There may be surprises in football and no one can be sure of the outcome, but still the level of these teams is higher than other teams. Maybe they will care more about the matches in their domestic league and will not show much interest in the matches in this cup. If such a thing happens, there may be unexpected teams among the teams that pass the tour.

Especially after the last 16 rounds, the performance of all teams increases and the team can be motivated in a different way. These motivations can lead to matches being played harder and being prone to surprising results.

Looking at the results of the European League draw, I also have a prediction like yours, the team you mentioned will qualify for the next round because they have the opportunity and have good quality players. With the composition of the team that will qualify for the quarter-finals, I predict that the one that will advance to the final round will be Liverpool vs Leverkusen because both teams are both on fire in their respective leagues and of course have a high fighting spirit.

For Liverpool, this trophy will be dedicated to Klopp's departure at the end of the season and for Leverkusen this is their opportunity to marry the Bundesliga and Europa League trophies with the brilliant squad that Leverkusen currently has. Yes, fortunately the European League currently does not have Sevilla because they are the kings of the European League. If Sevilla were there maybe he would be one of the favourites. Because even though in Laliga they are not very good, in Europe their performance is always epic like last year, in Laliga it is very bad but in the European League they are champions.

I agree. Yes, maybe Galatasaray was not a very strong team, but they will play against Liverpool in the next match. I think Liverpool is one of the strongest teams in the league. To be honest, today I am saddened that Galatasaray was eliminated in the previous round. When I saw Sparta Prague's opponent, I thought Galatasaray was lucky because Turkish teams cannot play very well against Liverpool and we lost many matches in the past

Especially after the last 16 rounds, the performance of all teams increases and the team can be motivated in a different way. These motivations can lead to matches being played harder and being prone to surprising results.

It can be said that Milan is the team with the most ambition to win the Europa League trophy this season, because in Series A it is no longer possible for Pioli fleet to overtake Inter at the top of the standings. Liverpool has a good chance of winning the Premier League trophy, While Leverkusen also has a big chance of winning the Bundesliga trophy. But overall, Winning two or three titles in one season is the ambition of all teams.

Liverpool, Leverkusen and Milan really deserve to be favorites, but we also can't ignore the chances of the other contestants. Several teams that have difficulty finishing in the UCL zone in their respective domestic leagues will try their best to win the Europa League Trophy and get tickets to appear in the UCL next season. this background is what I think is very interesting, but I agree that the European League presents more unexpected surprises.

On the other hand, we can see one of the surprises in the play off round yesterday, I didn't expect Galatasaray to be eliminated by Sparta Prague. Does not rule out the possibility that the three favorite teams will be eliminated first in the quarter finals or semi finals, but if we refer to their consistency in the domestic league, Liverpool and Leverkusen are ideal to become finalists this season.

This is the first time since 2016/2017 that Sparta Prague has qualified to the round of 16. Liverpool will put a stop on them.

Most likely it's very probable that Liverpool is most definitely going to win against Sparta Prague and Prague may just end their journey in the Europa at this point because I don't see klop trading his opportunity to getting to the next stage of this competition for any reason, he would rather have a narrow win than loosing out in this game completely because he's definitely not going to have another opportunity with Liverpool in the Europa after this time.

Sparta Prague isn't really a bad or weak team but they don't have a very good level of experience at the Europa as they have gotten pass this stage only a few times in the Europa but Liverpool is very much experience not only in the Europa but in other elite leagues aswell and this period they are aswell in a very good form that could means that they are most likely to win because Prague may not be a able to put up good resistance to stop Liverpool from winning them at any point but then I would still say Liverpool should give their very best in this game if they must stay in the league and not get eliminated by mistake

[TelolettOm]

In the end, Roma could follow in AC Milan's footsteps to advance to the next round. This is a very long match between Roma and Rennes. Both of them tried very optimally, but until extra time was so long, no additional goals were scored. Until the match ended it was still 1 - 1

So in the end, penalty shootout.
4 - 2
Rome succeeded

I said here that Roma has the advantage of playing at home after the 1-1 draw in the first leg. I didn't see this game going into extra time, let alone end in penalties. I expected Roma to win in normal time, although I knew it was going to be a tough game.

This goes on to show how well De Rossi has drilled these Roma boys. Feyenoord is a very good attacking team that could have won either leg of this tie to qualify if Roma had not changed managers. For Roma to be able to knock out Feyernoord, their confidence has increased so much and now they'll believe more that they can go all the way.

What did you mean, mate?
When I posted it, the match has ended and it ended with penalty shootout. Check the information there. 

So in the end, penalty shootout.
4 - 2
Rome succeeded

It was a close one between AS Roma and Fey. After having both their goals within the first 15minutes of the first half, there wasn’t any other goal produced in the whole game. Roma looked very threatening in the first half, I thought they would be able to take the lead at any minute in the second half but no, not much was given as Fey did well to put there defense line in check, making those interceptions and tackles just when it mattered to hold the game into the final whistle, extra time and a shout out.

That's it. But unfortunately, after that, Feyenoord was really able to match Roma in every way. even Feye was more offensive. For away matches here, Feyenoord could be considered quite good and tough enough, especially in Rome. Roma itself has several advantages when it comes to shooting penalties, some of their executing players were more superior to Feyenoord, both in terms of skills and mentality. Moreover, this match was in Rome.

The Hero in this game however was the goalkeeper. Having to save 2 consecutive penalties and had his hands on the third, that’s something I didn’t see coming and he made it look really simple.

Exactly, Svilar made it. His two saves made Roma win the match. Look how his expression and celebration after saving the shootout. It was awesome.

Liverpool and Leverkusen are the main candidates to win the title, meanwhile Milan, Atalanta, Roma, Villareal are teams that could also provide a surprise in the Europa League this season. We don't yet know which team will advance to the final, but considering the performance of each team in the domestic league, Liverpool and Leverkusen are two of the 16 best.

Personally, I tend to think Liverpool can advance to the final round of the Europa League this season, but other teams are simply not worth taking lightly. There will be 8 teams that will qualify for the quarter-finals and some of them are easy to predict. Leverkusen, Liverpool, Milan, Roma, Benfica, Atalanta, Villarreal and West Ham are my favorites for the quarter-finals, but of course there is no guarantee whether they will actually qualified.

Which one the game is the most toughest among the draw

With all due respect to these clubs, such pictures must be accompanied by text because not every football fan knows the coat of arms of Karabakh or Slavia 
In addition to top pairs like Roma - Brighton, I would pay attention to the Sparta - Liverpool pair, despite the fact that Sparta will be a clear underdog it can cause a lot of problems for Liverpool (which is focused on the Premier League), their victory over Galatasaray impressed me.

[Swordsoffreedom]

For me the most difficult match and even I can't predict the result is the Roma vs Brighton match. Although currently Roma has improved under De Rossi's coaching. But still, against Brighton, who are from the Premier League, it will definitely be very difficult. I prefer to support AS Roma to beat Brighton. But I'm starting to doubt AS Roma who even had difficulty beating Feyenoord. And Roma was just lucky because they were ahead in the penalty shootout against Feyenoord. And yeah it wasn't quite an impressive win. So I am pessimistic about this season for Roma.

The match was very close and yes I must have to say Roma was actually pretty lucky to win the match in penalties. Actually, we all know that in the penalties it can go either way. I thought Roma was pretty lucky to finally win this match. And I also thought this match shouldn't have gone the distance that it had.

Do you guys think Roma will go the distance in this tournament? I actually do not think so.

Actually, the difficulty that they are already facing is pretty incredible. And I think right now they are also fighting really hard in the Serie A.  
So they will have to be really concentrated on that as well. Might be hard for them to concentrate on two competitions at the same time

Of course Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the main candidates for the title this season. But Milan can probably do well too, they played well in the qualifiers. I also like Sporting Lisbon, who also did well. I think this Europa League season could easily be a surprise. It could happen that for example Bayer and Liverpool meet before the final.
