UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Palakka]

AC Milan and AS Roma will only be a temporary obstacle for Leverkusen or Liverpool in the Europa League this season, because if Leverkusen or Liverpool are able to beat AC Milan and AS Roma in the Europa League this season, of course one of them will definitely be the best in the League Europe this season. However, for now I still think that Liverpool is the most difficult for every European League contestant to beat this season because Liverpool is a team that is used to facing tougher opponents in its own league.

Ac Milan only need to get a draw in the second leg later to ensure their chances, even though they play at
Slavia home in the second leg later but I think it will not be difficult for Milan to maintain their victory, besides Ac Milan, certainly Roma has indeed held a ticket to the top 8, because to turn things around seems to be very difficult for Brighton even though they play at home later,  the aggregate of 4 goals is of course quite surprising especially we know that Brighton is a solid team when playing in Europe.

From this week Europa League match, I think the final result of the Leverkusen game was the most surprising because no one predicted if Leverkusen could get a draw in the first leg after the toughness shown by them this season, besides that the Roma match was really beyond my expectations, before the game started, I was pretty sure Brighton would be able to conquer Roma easily,  but it turns out that De Rossi is actually able to improve Roma performance not only in the league, but also in the Europa League, now they are strong enough and even able to embarrass the current level of De Zerbi experienced coach.

I think nobody expect what we see yesterday, damn man, so many unexpected results, Bayern nearby to lose his invictus of the season against Qarabag, Rome demolishing Brighton 4-0, Liverpool destroying Prague 5-1 and ending the key in the first game of the leg.

And for last, Marseille destroying Villarreal 4-0 all no sense.

I was not surprised with what Liverpool did to Prague because, they are capable to achieve all those goals they achieved from the game and this is a sign that Liverpool will try their best to be among the teams that will drag the trophy in the final.

I never knew that Marseille can play like the way they play yesterday to scored all those goals because, they didn't allow Villarreal to secure a single goal from the game and they played the game well from the beginning till the end to make other teams to be aware of them in their next games.

AC Milan and AS Roma could be other candidates who have a chance to stop Leverkusen or Liverpool from reaching the final. AS Roma is now also a team that has experienced significant improvement after being managed by Daniel De Rossi, these two teams deserve to be considered a tough test for anyone who has the ambition to win the Europa League trophy this season. Liverpool deserves to be considered the strongest candidate among all the contestants, because it comes from the Premier League which is known as the most competitive league. Leverkusen is the most ideal team to be their opponent in the final match this season, because he has never been defeated.

Yes, this Italian duo will be a surprise for Leverkusen and Liverpool, who are currently favorites to win the UEL trophy. What's interesting to watch is As Roma, since being coached by De Rossi, As Roma has always scored a goal in every match. As Roma's goal productivity can be said to have increased compared to when they were coached by the previous coach.

However, it feels like As Roma's journey to become a challenger for the UEL trophy is still difficult because until now De Rossi has not proven capable of beating strong teams in either the domestic league or the UEL league. The reason is that in the UEL this season Brighton didn't play too well, in the group phase you could say Brighton got lucky because of Ajax's poor performance at the start of the season, practically Brighton's only big rival was Marseille, Brighton even lost to AEK Athens. So in other words, As Roma's ability to beat Brighton is nothing special. De Rossi still has a lot to prove for AS Roma.

[Huppercase]

Leverkusen could not play as well as expected in the first match. The opponent is not a strong team, they are struggling, but we can say that the players' skills are not very high. Actually, Milan also plays very interesting football. I wouldn't be surprised if we watch them in the final, both the players are talented and the European matches are very valuable for them.
Liverpool will not make mistakes in the next match either, I do not think they will want to take risks

I don't know why everyone has high expectations Leverkusen forgetting that they are not the only best team in these tournament. We have Liverpool who is currently in number 1 place in Premier League which is consider as one of the tough leagues in the world, we have Sporting CP from Portuguese League, we hve Milan and Benfica even though they are not in the first place but they are among the top on their leagues. This is going to be competitive than anyone would expect.

I just think Liverpool aren't supposed to be here though, these guys killed Sparta Prague like they were having a dinner and to think that was there away match, what will now happen if they play them in Andfield, 5 goals is too much to concede in the first round of knockout stage, there is not coming back from this because they have already qualified now.

Yes indeed, I was also not surprised about Liverpool big win but I was surprised about the big wins with clean sheets that AS Roma and Marseille got and also about the draw obtained by Bayer Leverkusen. About Marseille v Villarreal basically I also realized that at thismoment Villarreal did not have a goodtrend in La Liga, but because considering Villarreal was able to get good results in the Europa League then yes, atleast I thought Marseille would be difficult to beat Villarreal. But what happened was completely unexpected, because Marseille won very well and so is about AS Roma, because in the previous match AS Roma was not too impressive against Feyenoord. Soyes, that result makes me think it is not easy for AS Roma to beat Brighton or even if AS Roma is able to beat Brighton maybe only with a thin score, but what happened was really unexpected. So, with the big wins that AS Roma and Marseille have in the first leg, then I believe that AS Roma and Marseille will have a definite result to qualify for the quarter finals.

AC Milan isn't a team thst should be see with any for of weakness at some point because they ha e been able to prove beyond almost every form of doubt that they are not from the same place, AC Milan meet the Roma team but then it wouldn't be so much of a bad idea if both teams see their selves with such a capacity and know how well to play then they will be able to get back to still stay in the Europa competition.

Roma have been observed to only put up such brilliant performance when the come across a weak or mediocre team and then they will seize the opportunity to stay ahead meanwhile they have leaser performance when they get to play against teams that have got a record, sometimes football happened and then you will find out thst both teams would just play and the best team wins I doubts if Roma is going to find it really easy against AC Milan but then in a bid to still stay in the Europa they may have a way of making sure to get ahead of AC Milan.

AC Milan is almost in need of getting the best out of this league as much as Roma does, these guy had to wait awhile to be sure they would be able to win this game a result of this game will actually get a whole lot of effects on either teams determining if they will further proceed or they will be left behind because they have crashed out, AC Milan for me has got more chances and potential in this game than Roma.

Atalanta played quite well in the first leg match against Sporting, which clearly had home advantage, this match showed that the dominance exerted by Atalanta made Sporting experience pressure which made it difficult for them to attack well.
1 - 1 draw occurred after Scamacca scored goal in the 39th minute and this was really quite fierce match even though Atalanta was only playing away, in the second leg it looks like we can make Atalanta the favorite in the home match.
From here it can be guessed or predicted that in the future Atalanta will be able to have the advantage and advance to the next round, Sporting will be under lot of pressure because they are playing away and on paper Atalanta is the team that is really at the top.
My prediction is that the second leg match will end in 2 - 0 win for Atalanta and of course this is an opportunity to bet on Atalanta as the winner.

But to me, Atlanta is doing well and stronger than Sporting because from all indications in the game, I think Sporting is quite weak, although Sporting dominates the game and they play well too. But with the performance of Atlanta in the first leg of the match, if they continue that way, I think they will even do more than these, but seriously, they still do well against Sporting. Furthermore, for Atlanta to win 1-1 in the first leg doesn’t mean they will win the second leg 2-1 in the second leg because it's just like you are trying to guarantee them winning, which is not supposed to be like that. It’s a football and everything can change. So let see how their second leg result will be, we can’t guarantee any of them winning yet.

Indeed, that is what Atalanta displayed, they performed much better than Sporting and it is clear that in the home match for Sporting they also failed to win, but in the Portuguese League they performed very well and even managed to top the standings.
Even so, this is composition that brings together several teams from various leagues and we will see how each team shows their respective performance in the competition for the title, even though they may not necessarily win, I still confident that Atalanta can produce satisfactory results.
I don't guarantee that Atalanta will win but they have second leg match as host or home match and the chances of winning the match could be much greater and this is one advantage that can be clearly seen on paper.
Moreover, Atalanta also has pretty good front line and this is one of the reasons why they were able to win in the second leg.
Well see whether Atalanta can show satisfactory results as expected or not, but they have the opportunity to win and qualify for the next round.

I don't know why everyone has high expectations Leverkusen forgetting that they are not the only best team in these tournament. We have Liverpool who is currently in number 1 place in Premier League which is consider as one of the tough leagues in the world, we have Sporting CP from Portuguese League, we hve Milan and Benfica even though they are not in the first place but they are among the top on their leagues.

In terms of strength, Leverkusen is not the only one who is strong this season, several of the remaining teams in the Europa League this season also have almost the same strength as Leverkusen, but consistently Leverkusen is very good this season so they are the favourites, I think that's quite natural.
And it is true that there are still Liverpool this season who are the same and they are also very favorites and even if there are no surprises the ideal final of the Europa League this season is between Leverkusen and Liverpool, I don't mean to underestimate other teams but that is quite realistic considering that Leverkusen and Liverpool have consistency and strength.

I believe more in AC Milan than in AS Roma but I know AS Roma get good performances with De Rossi as their new coach. He is doing his job well with Roma but he has very little experience as a coach, less than other coaches in Leverkusen, Liverpool and AC Milan. It can be his weakness and can cost Roma in important matches.

Among four teams, Liverpool, Leverkusen, AC Milan and Roma, I would like to pick either Liverpool or AC Milan as best candidate to win Europa League. AS Roma and Leverkusen have good strength and can win Europa League but less than Liverpool and AC Milan. Leverkusen also will have to beat Qarabag in Germany to go to quarter finals and with a first match between two teams, Leverkusen will have to beat a tough opponent.

The Serie A teams have impressive performed in UEFA Europe League first leg 16 of round except the draw result from Atalanta but its not really bad with their away match. AS Roma and AC Milan are guarantee teams will qualify to next round or quarter final after bigger score winning in the first leg and make easily for second legs match indeed with away match. Just reminder for AC Milan have conceded two goals on the first leg and margin two goals capital on second legs match should improve their performance and not losses above three goals if won't eliminated in 16 round of Europe League.

For AS Roma seems guarantee qualify to next round, have capital four margin goals on the first leg without any conceded one goal yet seems not much problem on second leg match although got losses under three goals and I don't think Daniele De Rossi will playing more defensive.

[Blitzboy]

Liverpool is the top team at the moment in Premier League so they are supposed to be the favorite for the Europa Trophy but there's also the Bundesliga Nummer Eins, Leverkusen who might be the only one competitive team for Liverpool. I don't see any other options and hope the two are not drawn to play before the finals.
Even though Leverkusen saved the humiliating defeat against Qarabag in the first leg with an equalizer on the injury, they still are a capable team. Playing on an entirely new field could sometimes be overwhelming and they'll cover of the lack of advantage on their home game.

AC Milan and AS Roma could be other candidates who have a chance to stop Leverkusen or Liverpool from reaching the final. AS Roma is now also a team that has experienced significant improvement after being managed by Daniel De Rossi, these two teams deserve to be considered a tough test for anyone who has the ambition to win the Europa League trophy this season.

AC Milan and AS Roma are being mentioned as potential challenges for Leverkusen or Liverpool, but I think everyone should watch Liverpool. Their Premier League and European experience make them formidable. Competitiveness makes Liverpool champions in the Premier League. Final opponent Leverkusen would be intriguing for Liverpool. Though unbeaten, they havent played Liverpool. Liverpool should win the title if they beat AC Milan or AS Roma. Despite advances and historical clout, Italian teams must prove they can compete with Europe's elite.

An amazing performance by Nunez! He was really on fire last night.    Both of his goals were worth watching. He actually has a great level of technique but we just haven't seen it very often since he joined Liverpool.

But the most important point is to see him trying his best. As there is Salah in the squad it is normal not to see him Nunez scoring as many goals as him. Salah is their target man mostly in the end. The only thing Nunez needs to improve is his consistency. If he decreases the number of opportunities he wastes his general performance would be found just enough.  

Liverpool really destroyed Sparta Prag by the way. Despite the rotation they still finished their opponent off. To tell the truth the score could have been way different too as Sparta Prag wasted so many opportunities.

Yes, Darwin Núñez performed extraordinary in that match. The goals he scored are indeed worthy of appreciation because he contributed 2 goals in that match and that added to Liverpool's aggregate total. Indeed he should have done that to replace Mohammed Salah's role in that match to create goals even though Salah also played but Salah only played for a little time so he didn't have time to score a goal. Indeed, Darwin Núñez is not as strong as Salah in creating lots of goals, but he can also be relied on by the club to create opportunities and achieve victory, as in that match he really proved his extraordinary abilities and did his best.

Even though at first there was doubt because Sparta Prague was able to beat Galatasaray, we can see for ourselves that Sparta Prague's performance is not comparable to Liverpool's very strong performance. Previously I once said that although Sparta Prague was able to beat Galatasaray, the performance of Galatasaray and Liverpool was very different after all. Liverpool is a Premier League club so there's no need to doubt that because their performance is definitely very strong, especially when facing an underdog club like Sparta Prague, it's not a big problem for Liverpool to get rid of them so easily, it's really sad to see Sparta Prague humiliated at home

[Google+]

The  good performance shown by Liverpool and Leverkusen in the league is actually the reason for many people who favorite both teams to be able to reach the Europa League final, while teams like Milan and Roma of course their position in the domestic league standings is a reason for not being seeded, for a team like Liverpool to be honest I agree with many people here who favorite them as potential champions because of their performance and experience so far in European competition, but for Leverkusen I am actually a little doubtful if they can do much in the Europa League because indeed the atmosphere of the Europa League and the Bundesliga is much different, especially seen when they were only able to get a draw against Qarabag which is not a strong team, I think Leverkusen  journey at the moment is too smooth because it has not faced a strong team and maybe we will see a balanced opponent for Leverkusen later in the round of 8, with a note if they can get a victory in the second leg later against Qarabag.

Honestly, for me personally a team like milan that is actually quite worthy to be considered as one of the potential champions, indeed this season their position in the Serie A sStandings is far from the title challenger but still their performance in the europa league is still very good and even they have a lot of experience in terms of winning European competitions so far.

[dezoel]

I believe more in AC Milan than in AS Roma but I know AS Roma get good performances with De Rossi as their new coach. He is doing his job well with Roma but he has very little experience as a coach, less than other coaches in Leverkusen, Liverpool and AC Milan. It can be his weakness and can cost Roma in important matches.

Among four teams, Liverpool, Leverkusen, AC Milan and Roma, I would like to pick either Liverpool or AC Milan as best candidate to win Europa League. AS Roma and Leverkusen have good strength and can win Europa League but less than Liverpool and AC Milan. Leverkusen also will have to beat Qarabag in Germany to go to quarter finals and with a first match between two teams, Leverkusen will have to beat a tough opponent.

In this season, currently most talk is moving around in these four teams with their quality and consistency is impressive, and these teams are having same level of quality which is giving them good advantage but from here which is much stronger and better team it's not easy for me, I am feeling Liverpool and AC Milan can go through for the title because Bayer Leverkusen is having good time but still for the title in UEFA Europa Cup they need more experience which is not in their side, and we have both teams are better Roma performance which was not good in first phase now having good change, and they can also create good hype in coming matches as they perform in last game against Brighton.

But it's still never been easy for anyone to predict about any specific team which is looking clearly favourite for the win just Liverpool having enough strength but can they hold this all with too many injuries it's also not easy.

[poodle63]

I think nobody expect what we see yesterday, damn man, so many unexpected results, Bayern nearby to lose his invictus of the season against Qarabag, Rome demolishing Brighton 4-0, Liverpool destroying Prague 5-1 and ending the key in the first game of the leg.

Anyway, it shows that if zerbi was not as good as what people said. Qarabag played so well at their home, but the next game will probably be owned by Leverkusen since it's an away game for Qarabag. Getting a draw is good enough when you play in your opponent's home. The chance to win the game is getting higher when it comes to your home.
Back to Roma vs. Brighton. I was not even expecting Roma to humiliate Brighton like that. Rossi's club gave Brighton no chance to score a goal. Winning 4 goals aggregate is really positive for the second leg. Brighton's almost impossible to equalize the aggregates.
Im sure brighton will not qualify for the furhter stage. Zerbi totally failed this season, brighton is playing so awfully in all of competitions. Still waiting for the news that linked zerbi to the big club. It's totally a joke.

And for last, Marseille destroying Villarreal 4-0 all no sense.

Amazing performance from Marseille. You would never expect this French club, which is labeled as the farmer league, to destroy Villareal by a huge margin. The second leg is obviously much easier for Marseille to qualify. Im not expecting villareal to win against marseille in el madrigal.
The reason is clear marseille is far above villareal atm. Villareal gets 0 shot on target when it's playing away. Villareal is shit now. There will be no a lot of difference for the second leg.

[tusandii]

And finally AC Milan won the first leg against Slavia Prague with a score of 4-2. I think AC Milan is fine and if AC Milan is busy attacking that's right, because AC Milan will dominate throughout the match.
And AC Milan played too much on the wings, maybe that was one of their strategies but it worked, plus Slavia Prague only played with 10 players and they had to take advantage of it.

Milan won, but it doesn't feel like it. 11 vs 10,  result 4-2. No words.

Milan played badly. Very badly.
Milan didn't have a picture of the game. They were slow, meandering with no ideas, and those two goal errors annoyed me.
This match is like a friendly match, not like a competition.
11 against 10 for 70 minutes, and a very modest Czech team almost equalized. lol
With this way of playing in the UEFA Europa League, Milan will be eliminated against Roma or Atalanta if they qualify.

Why do you seem to really underestimate Milan performance? In my opinion, they perform well in that match because they were able to win it by being able to score 4 goal, yes, even though Slavia Prague were able to scored 2 goals even though they only played with 10 people, but that was not enough to bring them victory, you maybe you could say the match was bad for Milan if they lost or drew, but in fact Milan also fought hard in this match and had 2 more aggregates than Slavia Prague.

It's true that Milan can't be said to be completely impressive in the UEL, but it's too early to say that they will lose when facing Roma or Atalanta because in fact, in the domestic league, Milan is superior to them. We'll see in the second leg, if Milan meet those two team, I think Milan can still get rid of him considering they are in the same league.

Leverkusen is the most ideal team to be their opponent in the final match this season, because he has never been defeated.

Europa does seem competitive because there's presence of major top clubs there, triumphed victory are mainly for the big winnings. Defeats comes to only those inconsistent teams, I've watch closely to see the incredible form of Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool, they're not giving up anytime soon, rather they're bringing on more tougher challenges for their oppositions this season. I'm expecting to see Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final because they're the only top clubs that have reached important phase in the league and also in their perspective league.

[piebeyb]

But it's still never been easy for anyone to predict about any specific team which is looking clearly favourite for the win just Liverpool having enough strength but can they hold this all with too many injuries it's also not easy.

Personally, I prefer Leverkusen because their development in the domestic league is quite good, so for some reason I feel confident that Leverkusen will reach the final, at least meeting Liverpool and in the end, Leverkusen will win the UEL title this season, even though perhaps in terms of experience, Leverkusen is still relatively small. compared to Liverpool, but in terms of strength it seems Leverkusen could be a threat to other clubs in the UEL this season even though they drew with Qarabag, I believe in the second leg Leverkusen will get rid of them

It's true that Milan can't be said to be completely impressive in the UEL, but it's too early to say that they will lose when facing Roma or Atalanta because in fact, in the domestic league, Milan is superior to them. We'll see in the second leg, if Milan meets those two teams, I think Milan can still get rid of him considering they are in the same league.

Yes, it's true that Milan in the first leg showed their best game, that's why I think Milan is not a club that can be underestimated, although maybe Roma and Atalanta also played quite well, but Milan has its own style of play which the Roma and Atalanta players don't have, BTW. The second leg match against Slavia Prague at their home will of course be a difficult match, but I am sure that with the experience that Milan has, they will succeed in winning on aggregate with Slavia Prague, at least a narrow win will be enough for Milan to qualify for the next round which is possible. Milan will meet Roma and Atalanta in the quarter-finals.

[Velvet78]

I assume there are many people who were surprised with the result of the Roma - Brighton game like me. It was just a huge dominance by Roma, much more than the expectations. The odd gap for these two sides to win wasn't that big. Maybe having Joao Pedro on the field would have made things more different for Brighton in terms of scoring capability. 

On the other hand De Rossi is really doing a great job these days. The general results have been really positive since the day he took the job. If he goes on like this I think Roma board would seriously thinking of extending his contract.
