UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[TelolettOm]

In today's match, Qarabag surprised everyone with their performance. Many did not believe Qarabag had the strength to hold Bayer Leverkusen to a draw given Leverkusen's exceptional form. The game even seemed poised for a Qarabag victory, but Leverkusen was fortunate enough to salvage a draw in the dying minutes of the match

We all definitely predicted that the winner will be Leverkusen from this match against Qarabag FK. But, it seems that this time, Xabi's strategy, especially in the first half, did not go smoothly. So they actually conceded 2 goals. Xabi finally immediately changed tactics and also introduced their main players in the second half. And finally, they were finally able to score 2 goals too. They should have been more optimal if they included their main players from the start. However, maybe Xabi has other tactics. And this match result will become a precious result for his next decision. Yes, at least,  the result is a draw, and then, they should be leading again in the second leg. Well, at least, Leverkusen's unbeaten record so far has not been broken, with quite a lot of goals scored so far.

Wow, I'm surprised by the big victories of Liverpool and Roma, but the most interesting match in terms of results is still Karabakh - Bayer.

Exactly, well, actually, Liverpool could have predicted from the start that they would definitely be the ones who were superior in this match. However, 5 goals in the first leg, this really gives the green light to progress to the next round.


What is very satisfying is Roma's performance under their new coach. Roma's big win over Birghton with 4 goals was very satisfying. and we might not think that far ahead of the number of goals. And Brighton had absolutely no chance to score a goal. Excelletn, this time, Roma is truly excellent.

Just now, Giroud finally opened up a big opportunity for Milan, with MIlan's first goal in this match. Milan also benefited because the opposing team, Slavia Prague, received 1 red card, so there was still another chance for Milan to score more goals.

And once again they were able to atleast maintain their unbeaten run and salvage the game at almost end of the match and this is definitely the characters of a team that's going to be champions. Bayern Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso have achieved such a great feet by maintaining this unbeaten run this long and i believe if they continue like this they will definitely be champions of the Europa league and I think the only that can contest with them would be the English side LIVERPOOL.

Leverkusen unbeaten record was almost broken by Qarabag, but in the end Leverksen managed to win dramatically at the end of the second half. Florian Wirtz and Patrik Schick were the heroes who saved the team record, both of whom deserve high appreciation. Leverkusen really deserves to be champions of the Europa League this season, their performance is very impressive and their mentality is very good. A 2-2 draw is not bad, Xabi Alonso can chase victory in the second round.

The match was very tough for leverkusen tonight,at first I was thinking leverkusen will drop the unbeaten record tonight,but to my greatest surprise they dominated the second half with 2goals that's to make it 2:2 what a great come back for leverkusen tonight there performance in the second half of the game was overwhelming.

Yes, the second goal was only 2 minutes later, and AC Milan scored the first goal created by Giroud in the 34th minute. Slavia Prague then scored a goal in the 36th minute through David Doudera's hard kick which Mike Maignan was able to parry but Mike Maignan managed to parry but still went in.
And the current score is 3-1 and I think this match will definitely be won by AC Milan. And it is not impossible that AC Milan will score another goal in the second half and in my opinion it will end with a big score for AC Milan, and AC Milan must be able to make good use of the 10 Slavia Prague players.

Bayern Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso have achieved such a great feet by maintaining this unbeaten run this long and i believe if they continue like this they will definitely be champions of the Europa league and I think the only that can contest with them would be the English side LIVERPOOL.

Not far off from the prediction that Bayern Leverkusen did well in the remaining time of the match, they managed to equalize the 2 goal deficit in the 70th and 90+2 minutes.
Their enthusiasm in every match does not hesitate if their position is behind. They managed to do it also in the previous match.

If in the match against Qarabag FX Xabi Alonso is able to practice this, then in the second leg there is a big possibility of winning the match and qualifying.
No wonder Xabi is in demand to fill Liverpool's coaching chair.

This is a match result that is essentially unexpected. Many people think that Leverkusen can win this first leg match easily considering their performance in the Bundesliga, but in reality this is not true. Leverkusen struggled hard to score 2 goals after being 2 goals behind in the first half. It's strange, but this is truly surprising.

In the second leg, Leverkusen has a big chance of winning because they are playing at home. The match will take place in mid-March and basically both teams have the same chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Leverkusen has home advantage, but this is not a guarantee that they can win the match and qualify. Meanwhile Liverpool and Roma have established themselves with big wins against Brighton and Sparta Prague, so the pressure is starting to disappear.

[Slow death]

I expected that Leverkusen would be able to win this game without having major difficulties, that's why I put Leverkusen in my parlay, but to my surprise I see Leverkusen having difficulties in beating a team that is not in the best leagues in Europe, while Bayern and a leading team from a big league in Europe, the result of that game really left me very disappointed, with this result I lost my bet, I hope that in the second round Leverkusen improves in defense and be very careful with this opponent because if Leverkusen Don't try too hard, then you might end up losing in the second leg and you will be eliminated. When I placed Leverkusen I had in my head that the main teams to win the European League

they are liverpool, roma and leverkusen, that's why I put these 3 teams in my parlay, but I see that leverkusen may not be able to reach the final. while liverpool beat them very easily, in a game in which liverpool scored 5 goals and conceded only 1 goal, in that game nunes scored 3 goals, they are a player who has scored goals frequently, I remember the During his first few months at Liverpool I kept saying that he didn't score goals and that it was a mistake to sign him, but today he is proving the opposite, he is showing that it was a good signing and with this result it is clear that Liverpool will move on to the next stage. . Rome also won easily

they scored 4 goals and didn't concede any goals, this shows how well the Roma management did in hiring this coach, with his arrival Roma has played very well in attack and defense, all of Roma's good attackers have managed to score goals, with With this result, I think Roma will move on to another phase and I hope that in the other phase they will play against a weak team so that they can win. At the moment I write this post, Milan are winning, they have already scored 3 goals in the first half, but conceded 1 goal. It's not guaranteed that Milan will win this game, but they have a good chance of winning.

De Zerbi got destroyed by Roma.

Wasn't he supposed to be the new Guardiola

[nelson4lov]

The only two matches I wanted to see today were the headline ones featuring Liverpool and Leverkusen. It's interesting how everyone thought Liverpool will have a hard time against the Czech Republic current league leaders only for those quick goals to go in and put a strain in Sparta's performance. Another fun fact, Liverpool players scored all 3 goals including the Sparta goal which was scored by Bradley after coming up for just a minute.


As for Leverkusen, like I said earlier, Alonso mitigated the situation by bringing some of his OG first team players into the for.

[un_rank]

I will tip Roma to win tonight.

I expected Roma to win, but did not expect anything close to the dominating performance they put up tonight. It appears managers have come up with a good counter play to the style of play Roberto Di Zerbie uses. He loves his team to play out the man through the press, while taking out 3 or 4 players, then use the width to open up space.

De Rossi brilliantly countered that and had a brilliant attacking response.

Lervekusen barely kept their unbeaten run alive and Liverpool made easy work of Prague

Slavia Prague were very good, started the game very well, they were able to force AC Milan into defending, but after the red card to one of their players, the deficit reduced their advantage. AC Milan were able to make sure that they take good advantage of the ten men and score enough goals before the coach of Slavia will have the opportunity to make the halftime changes. AC Milan are very good scoring with their head.

In the second leg, Leverkusen has a big chance of winning because they are playing at home. The match will take place in mid-March and basically both teams have the same chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Leverkusen has home advantage, but this is not a guarantee that they can win the match and qualify.

Leverkusen if they continue with the second half strategy that got them the two goals will win the game. Coming back to almost winning a game from two goals down is not easy, but the team did it.

HALF TIME
MILAN : PRAHA : 3 : 1

Milan immediately took the lead again a few minutes later. with 3 goals in the first half, Milan had a much greater chance of winning. Yes indeed, it cannot be denied that if it is 11 vs 10 players, Milan should be the one who really benefits.
Now, the second half started and Milan still dominates the match.

AS Roma - on fire.....
Wow, surprising. They had the party.

Qarabag VS Bayer Leverkusen

Qarabag StartXI: 4-2-3-1
Andrey Lunev; Marko Vešović; Bahlul Mustafazada; Bədavi Huseynov; Toral Bayramov; Patrick Andrade; Marko Janković; Leandro Andrade; Yassine Benzia; Abdellah Zoubir; Juninho Vieira

Bayer Leverkusen StartXI: 4-4-2
Matej Kovar; Odilon Kossounou; Jonathan Tah; Edmond Tapsoba; Alejandro Grimaldo; Nathan Tella; Exequiel Palacios; Robert Andrich; Amine Adli; Adam Hložek; Borja Iglesias

Qarabag are the one topping their home league with a wide range of points more than 20 points and also Bayer Leverkusen are at the top in their home league too but still there is different because we can't compare Bundesliga and Azerbaijan Premier League, Bundesliga is more powerful, stronger and popular than Azerbaijan Premier League, if assume Bayer Leverkusen are found in that league they will be unbeaten for many seasons because of their performance, conclusion will not be draw now let wait till last minutes, Bayer Leverkusen are capable of winning even though Qarabag are hosting them.


AS Roma VS Brighton

AS Roma StartXI: 4-3-3
Mile Svilar; Zeki Çelik; Gianluca Mancini; Evan Ndicka; Leonardo Spinazzola; Bryan Cristante; Leandro Paredes; Lorenzo Pellegrini; Paulo Dybala; Romelu Lukaku; Stephan El Shaarawy

Brighton StartXI: 4-2-3-1
Jason Steele; Tariq Lamptey; Jan Paul van Hecke; Lewis Dunk; Igor Júlio; Billy Gilmour; Pascal Groß; Simon Adingra; Julio Enciso; Facundo Buonanotte; Danny Welbeck

This match is between England and Italian, currently the most consistency team among this two is AS Roma and at the same time they are the host which means they will do better then Brighton, currently Brighton are facing low consistency in their performance, with I don't see any hope for them to win.

AS roma will win this match easily. besides acting as the host, Brighton's performance lately has also been very bad. and from the quality of players, AS roma is far superior when compared to Brighton.
and until the 70th minute AS roma is already 4-0 ahead

A weak performance from Brighton as they were unable to score any goal against Roma. Roma won on clean sheet, and this shows that De Rossi is working on this players and preparing them for the challenges ahead of them. It is obvious that Roma have an automatic qualification into the quarter finals, because I don't see how Brighton WI be able to win Roma 5-0 in the second leg.

This is the first time that Brighton has lost three consecutive matches. It seems that they have decliner in their performance recently.

Xabi's strategy of starting without Xhaka and Wirtz and resting them didn't work in the first half. The team was completely confused and the usual processes of the last few weeks and months hardly worked. Because of this and with a little luck, the underdog was able to quickly score two goals. Luckily, Xabi corrected that at halftime and suddenly Leverkusen's successful game worked again. Wirtz in particular brought momentum into the game so that they were able to score 2-2, was is a good foundation for the second leg.

Now, the second half started and Milan still dominates the match.

When Slavia Prague was down to 10 men, it was clear that Milan would win. Although they reacted immediately to Milan's first goal, they conceded two more in quick succession before the end of the first half and their morale collapsed. Slavia Prague will now try to defend and avoid conceding more goals. Even this score is enough for Milan, but they want to score more goals and secure the round in this match. Giroud and Loftus-Cheek's contribution is enormous. I played over 1.5 goals for this game and to be honest the game was boring until the red card, but in the second part of the first half the game suddenly changed. The bet came easily.

The match was very tough for leverkusen tonight,at first I was thinking leverkusen will drop the unbeaten record tonight,but to my greatest surprise they dominated the second half with 2goals that's to make it 2:2 what a great come back for leverkusen tonight there performance in the second half of the game was overwhelming.

I never expected Leverkusen would struggle with quara berg that much, for me I saw it as a game Leverkusen has won already even before the kick off, because I considered Leverkusen's performance all along and how they have performed facing even rough clubs, so against quara berg was looking like a game they would have dominated well enough especially with goals but then it turned out otherwise that quara berg turned out tough.

I think this is a lesson for Leverkusen to understand that they shouldn't play or joke with any team as they may get surprised and get their first loss this season from a weak team or a team we generally considered weak especially here in the Europa, let's hope that in their second meeting Leverkusen would be able to do much better and not allow this Small team become so much of a problem to them that they will struggle again, underestimating any team will be the weakness of such a team because they will be thinking they don't need much to be able to win their opponent until it's game over.

This draws is going to exert some kind of pressure on Leverkusen because they will definitely try to cope with this alongside with that which will be coming from bundesliga, they will now have  to make sure to win their second meeting in the Europa if they must be able to retain their position, because Leverkusen cannot afford to be loosing to such a team where they are considered much more better and it's just knock out stage not even yet at semi or quarter finals.

AC Milan are very good scoring with their head.

A red card has the capacity of destabilizing a team initially intended playing pattern and form thereby forcing the deficit team to fall back to a defensive position with a less attacking moves. And this is what Slava Prague is experiencing tonight and AC Milan on their part has capitalized on the advantage to take a lead with a 2 goals difference. What Prague can do best in this game is to tighten it defence to avoid conceiving more goals because they don't have business in winning this game tonight counting on the pressure Milan is mounting on them due to their one mad down disadvantage.

Ac milan played openly, sometimes they were too busy attacking and were not ready when there was a counterattack. Ac milan has a big advantage in this match because they are playing at home and are also superior in number of players. The current score was 3-2 where Prague was able to reduce the deficit in the second half. I think Ac milan should be able to take advantage of the situation to continue scoring goals because in terms of play they are able to dominate it well.

Instead, they also have to be careful in this game because Prague are really able to balance the game even though they are playing with 10 people. I think it's the same where Ac milan will emerge victorious in this match but they need to score more goals to secure a big score win. But if Prague manages to balance the position then Ac milan can be said to have wasted a golden opportunity in today match.

Qarabağ made a surprise by eliminating Braga in the previous round. Can Qarabağ make another surprise? Bayer Leverkusen earned a 2-2 draw in the Round of 16 first leg away to Qarabag. Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are on course for a first Bundesliga title, 10 points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

De Zerbi got destroyed by Roma.
Wasn't he supposed to be the new Guardiola

I can understand if De Zerbi could be destroyed by AS Roma.
The quality of his squad isn't as well as the AS Roma squad quality. And De Zerbi may use the wrong tactic in the match against AS Roma.
De Zerbi manages an average team like Brighton, it is different with Guardiola was managing a big team like Barcelona.
Anyway, I don't think De Zerbi needs to be the next Guardiola.  

Ac milan played openly, sometimes they were too busy attacking and were not ready when there was a counterattack.

I think Ac milan should be able to take advantage of the situation to continue scoring goals because in terms of play they are able to dominate it well.

I don't see they are playing too openly. They just forget to focus on their defense, they are too busy attacking.  
It is funny that AC Milan conceded a goal again, it was already 2 conceded goals. Although they already scored 3 goals, it will be nothing if Prague scores again a goal. It can be 3 goals made by Prague if AC Milan defenders play carelessly.

Qarabağ made a surprise by eliminating Braga in the previous round. Can Qarabağ make another surprise? Bayer Leverkusen earned a 2-2 draw in the Round of 16 first leg away to Qarabag. Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are on course for a first Bundesliga title, 10 points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

Qarabag's performance has been quite impressive so far. But, in the second leg, I'm not sure Xabi will just let it go. Based on the results of this match, Xabi will definitely have a lot of tactical evaluations for the future. At least, the full first team must be deployed from the start. There are no trivial words in this UEFA Europe league match. There will be many possibilities for everything, and this is quite a valuable lesson for Xabi.

Ac milan played openly, sometimes they were too busy attacking and were not ready when there was a counterattack. Ac milan has a big advantage in this match because they are playing at home and are also superior in number of players. The current score was 3-2 where Prague was able to reduce the deficit in the second half. I think Ac milan should be able to take advantage of the situation to continue scoring goals because in terms of play they are able to dominate it well.

This is quite dangerous for Milan. They might think that a score of 3 - 1 is safe. But this is a match, as long as the whistle has not been blown for the end, there is no calm. especially in these conditions, with only 10 players, Slavia Prague could break through Milan's goal with 2 goals. This is not luck, but this is the effort of the Slavia players to play as optimally as possible even with only 10 players.

On the other hand, this is a lesson for Milan, however, they must not only focus on attacking, but their defense must also be maintained. Meanwhile, from the match statistics, especially their attacks, they missed many chances to score goals.

[ShowOff]

Qarabağ made a surprise by eliminating Braga in the previous round. Can Qarabağ make another surprise? Bayer Leverkusen earned a 2-2 draw in the Round of 16 first leg away to Qarabag. Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are on course for a first Bundesliga title, 10 points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

Roma, Liverpool, Milan, Freiburg and Marseille ultimately managed to win today's first leg. Leverkusen, who were the favorites, actually drew against Qarabag, as did Atalanta. Liverpool and Roma don't seem to have any trouble expecting a quarter-final after big wins in the first leg, Milan and Marseille are no different.

I was a little surprised about the result of the Leverkusen match, but Qarabag was probably just lucky to be able to end the match with a score of 2-2. Leverkusen played well and had many opportunities, but unfortunately Leverkusen could only score 2 goals from 4 shots on target. There is still a second leg that Xabi can maximize, it is a home match that I think Leverkusen will dominate.
