UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

I'm sure Klopp still has the main target and good focus also to get a trophy also in the Europa League so, don't just because Liverpool lost 3-0 in the first leg then you thinkLiverpool don't have a focus on the Europa League. Because anyway, basically Liverpool is a team that has better quality than all theteams in the Europa League at this moment and therefore, Liverpool has a good chance also in the Europa League. But unfortunately, failure can happen at any time and yes, in the first leg Liverpool clearlyexperienced a very embarrassing failure because Liverpool lost at home too. But even so, that does not mean Liverpool lost the chance to make a comeback, because ofcourse Liverpool will still have a chance to be able to turn things around in the second leg later eventhough indeed,failure has overshadowed Liverpool at this moment.

There is nothing that Liverpool have to okay in Italy, that will give them any chance of qualifying to the semifinals. I agree with you that Liverpool is among the strongest in Europa but we underestimated other clubs, just simply because Liverpool is a big name. Atalanta messed Liverpool up in Anfield on clean sheet and you are expecting a miracle to happen for Liverpool in Italy, that is not possible.

Atalanta knows how to play Liverpool, and that was why they locked their defense and made Liverpool unable to find the back of the net. The only time that the ball entered the net, it was an offside. This is because Atalanta defenders are always putting Liverpool attackers on offside, so that they will not have easy access to score without going offside. The highest that Liverpool will play is to win them with one goal but not up to three. That will kick Liverpool out of the league.

Catching up from 3 goals behind will be very difficult for Liverpool, even though they have a capable attack line. Atalanta managed to win in a simple way, defending and relying on counter attacks. Liverpool is favorite but Atalanta wins big, that's football we can never guarantee.

Klopp will certainly try to turn things around even though it looks a little impossible, who knows, they will succeed in doing it, and luck will be on their side in the future. There are definitely many bettors who experienced losses in the first leg, and if you want to bet on the second leg, you need a lot of consideration. The European League always presents unexpected surprises, such as Milan's defeat to Roma.

But on the other hand, if Liverpool fails to advance to the semifinals, Leverkusen will be the other favorite team to have the chance to win the trophy this season. But it is possible that they will experience their first defeat in the Europa League. With the 3-0 defeat to Atalanta at Anfield, many people again doubted the strength of Klopp fleet.

I don't sure with my ideal final prediction of Europe League between Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool will be true, for Leverkusen has chance qualify until final round but Liverpool make us shock and loss faith with potential eliminating in quarter final round after losing three goals on the first leg match. Need to change with final prediction seems Benfica has large opportunity will set one spot for the final if Atalanta qualify to semifinal, in other batch actually very difficult for predicting the potential teams will get final ticket between AS Roma, Milan or Bayern Leverkusen.

After Liverpool got a lose with 3 goals, I also didn't expect Liverpool in the final round. I think Liverpool has been eliminated, they won't have a chance to win with 4 goals in Leg 2. We should have another team to accompany Leverkusen in the final round. Sure, the winner in the match AC Milan vs AS Roma probably becomes the candidate of the finalist. Because AS Roma could win in Leg 1, I also think AS Roma may be the opponent of Leverkusen in the final round.

Anyway, I'm very disappointed with Liverpool. I predicted to see Liverpool in the final because they are performing very well in EPL. I guessed they will perform the same in Europa league, but they seemed to fail in this competition. Now, it is just to expect a miracle for qualifying in the next round. Atalanta has killed them in Leg 1.

Everyone of us know that Liverpool is good in coming back in this kind of matches. We have watched Liverpool do it against Barcelona which is a better team than Atlanta and also had a larger goal margin. If I were to be Atlanta coach, I will not play defensive game. I will come out the more and continue the pressure since I have 3 goals advantage and also playing home. I am just making a post, I just wish Atlanta coach can read this. Klopp made a mistake by gifting you the 3 points, please do not return the gift to Liverpool.

We All know that Liverpool is good and that's not really going to be contested but the problem is that are the other teams knowing the strength of Liverpool going to stay back and allow Liverpool put up a comeback just like that, steal the show and win? Most definitely not so I'm still of the opinion that Liverpool still have slim chances with the Europa this season and they just have to be more better in their next meeting.

If Atlanta results to playing an offensive game where they will be doing more of the attack from their end, then they should be sure to know that their post may actually be in danger because Liverpool isn't a team that will allow them get along just like that as Liverpool is very good with bringing the ball to your post and playing behind your defense if given the opportunity without staying offside and this was the exact same pattern they did used against Manchester city in the premier league so it wouldn't be a challenge using it against Atlanta especially in the fact that this time they may not be resting players.

They are going to use their full squad this time knowing that they are at risk of missing out in the Europa if they fail to win the game against Atlanta this time so that will be more reason they will put in all their best to making sure they are able to defeat Atlanta at all cost so Atlanta will have to be very careful else they might still get kicked out even after all the victory they got in the first meeting with Liverpool a d were able to secure Victory.

Liverpool conceded 3 goals at Anfield and this remained the worst defeats for them this season. Jurgen Klopp underestimate Atalanta in the Europa League and now he risks losing every possible chances of reaching the final this season. Though I believe Liverpool in comeback but they're not going to play the second leg at Anfield but will travel to Italy to face Atalanta at Gewiss stadium. Liverpool are positive on epic comeback while Atalanta current headcoach,  Gian Piero Gasperini will not take any chance but grabbing a win or draw tie at home.

Need to change with final prediction seems Benfica has large opportunity will set one spot for the final if Atalanta qualify to semifinal, in other batch actually very difficult for predicting the potential teams will get final ticket between AS Roma, Milan or Bayern Leverkusen.
AS Roma won the first leg match but one goal not secure yet if Milan win above two goals, but Leverkusen has good capital two winning goals on first leg to defend on second leg match without loss above two goals.

What a lot of us have predicted and foresee to be the outcome of the quarterfinals is gradually becoming something else different from what we were assuming. The defeat of Liverpool by Atalanta was a great shock to all and this was not what we expected them to showcase in that match. They were obviously the favourite in that match but how they were defeated with three goals to none will think the are no effective team to speak home about. They have a lot to do in the second leg match and I believe they will be back more prepared and will be willingly ready to face anything that will give them a victory in the second leg match. They still seem so far from victory but there’s nothing that is not impossible in the game of football. We will wait to see what the two teams have to show for the upcoming second leg games.

Liverpool conceded 3 goals at Anfield and this remained the worst defeats for them this season. Jurgen Klopp underestimate Atalanta in the Europa League and now he risks losing every possible chances of reaching the final this season.

Liverpool are positive on epic comeback while Atalanta current headcoach,  Gian Piero Gasperini will not take any chance but grabbing a win or draw tie at home.

I as a coach will also brag for a win or draw in the second leg match because it’s going to be played in my stadium which I will have many advantages over my opponents coming. Although this is a very important match for both teams, I will expect a top notch performance from both sides and I hope we will be entertained in this match much more than we were in the first leg match. With an European competition at hand, no team is seen as the underdog and this is the knockout stage were all teams are in their best form.

Though I believe Liverpool in comeback but they're not going to play the second leg at Anfield but will travel to Italy to face Atalanta at Gewiss stadium. Liverpool are positive on epic comeback while Atalanta current headcoach,  Gian Piero Gasperini will not take any chance but grabbing a win or draw tie at home.

The result is a big surprise to happen at Anfield. I think this is a proof of a mindset of big clubs playing in Europa League. I don't think it's about underestimating Atalanta, but it's more to do with Liverpool were trying to lower the intensity of the game because they have a fierce league title race to fight for. Atlanta were able to capitalize the situation to make it hard for Liverpool to make another comeback.

I believe that Jurgen Klopp now have big dilemma between going full force to Atalanta or stay focus on the league title race. This dilemma becomes harder to solve, because their injuries situation makes Klopp doesn't have many options for the lineup if they go full force to Atalanta that can have negative impact on their ambition to win Premier League. Maybe the best choice is to give up on Europa League, considering the chance is also small, and focus on the title race when they are still relatively the front runner.

I really liked the job Roma did against Milan away as well. Actually I can't say Roma were the better playing side. Their performance wasn't that impressive in general but used their chances more efficiently. De Rossi has really made difference so far. I started to believe in Roma more to eliminate Milan now and I had a bet placed on their advancing to the semi finals. 

Roma's performance against Milan was very good. I also didn't expect Roma to be able to win their away match against Milan, whether it was a coincidence or not, but what is clear is that Milan doesn't seem very enthusiastic about competing in the European League, even though in the domestic league, Milan performs well and is better than Roma, but in the European League I have to admit that Roma has the advantage here even though it is not coached by Jose Mourinho, in fact Daniele De Rossi is able to provide good strategies for Roma, no matter what tactics he uses, he is even able to handle the club better than Jose Mourinho with Roma's increasingly good performance. improving, I am very confident that Roma will be able to get through this quarter-final by beating Milan in the first leg and second leg.

Even though the score scored by Roma is not a big score, still winning away from home is a good sign for Roma and it looks like Roma will do the same thing in the second leg by beating Milan. I am sure that with Roma's advantage of playing at home, it will make it easier for them to win fierce resistance from Milan which is certain in front of Roma's loyal supporters it will show that Roma will reach the final again and currently my favorite is turning to Roma and Leverkusen would be better if they met in the final.

The main focus for Liverpool team remains the Premier League so i dont know how much they want to risk in Europa League only Jurgen Kloop inside his head knows what he wants more. I think he is gonna put all in this weekend against Crystal Palace, and try in thursday to find a few fast goals in Bergamo, if that is not happening i can see him making a retirement of the stars of the team, and let the game goes on.

I don't think kloop consider europa league as unimportant trophy and it's an important one just like the EPL, but Klopp made the biggest mistake by starting Salah from the bench which was destroying the tempo from the club and i can be considered a blunder by Liverpool, no doubt that if atalanta was destroying liverpool with so many goals in the first leg. The second leg is gonna be even tougher than before considering that if liverpool will not able to perform better than before. . Things may not be going so well if Liverpool keeps doing the same shit.
The situation is currently unpredictable, and I am confident that it will remain so until the season's final match. Arsenal currently leads the competition, but who knows if it will continue to struggle against Chelsea in the future and im hoping that there will be a miracle to happen with chelsea to prevent arsenal in getting three points.
I am hoping that Chelsea will be able to prevent Arsenal from getting a good result this season but yeah since arsenal as the hardest fixtures compared to the other teams like city and liverpool. The city must win the competition. Liverpool and Arsenal will not win the EPL.
The chance remains there because Manchester City continues to win games and it most likely until the last match of the season, which is also putting pressure on Arsenal to win against its opponent for the title race soon.

This opportunity is still open for Liverpool, but the problem is that 3 goals will be very difficult for them to catch, although nothing is impossible for them, especially in the past they have also made extraordinary comebacks. This is a challenge in itself for Jurgen Klopp, because he has to think about a strategy that requires Liverpool to play as effectively as possible.

Another problem comes when they play away from home in this match, whether they like it or not, they will definitely feel pressure from the opposing fans, it depends on how they respond to it. But I think they also have a good mentality when playing in front of opposing fans because their experience is also better than Atalanta.

This is the last season for Jurgen Klopp, he definitely wants to give the best results and make a comeback in this match. They will most likely do a total attack in this match, because there is no other choice for them if they want to win and turn things around.

Liverpool letting you down after you placed your money on them is frustrating. Always a powerhouse, this season has been good. But those team modifications were a risk that failed. After you become used to their huge names up front, they attempt something new.

High possession is how you normally succeed, right? Easy passes and basic attempts arent enough against Atalanta's tight defense. A real wake-up call. Football can be unpredictable. Yes, its annoying when it costs money. I understand.

Not only is it annoying for those who lose after holding Liverpool and hoping to win, but it could actually result in Liverpool going home early from the Europa League if they are not able to score more goals in the second leg. Because losing badly at home with that many goals will certainly be a very painful blow for Liverpool fans, because this will make Liverpool have to be able to make their best attack in the second leg while still making a better defense. I didn't think that Atalanta could win that much at home to their opponents in the Europa League this season.

[Velvet78]

Roma played very efficiently, they were able to protect their chances quite well and the result of winning in the first leg is of course a very big advantage for Roma because in the second leg they will play at their own home with the many advantages they have now made the Roma team comfortable enough to reach the second leg later.
I think this is not a big surprise because it must be admitted that Roma's performance has been much better and has improved since being coached by De Rossi.

I think there is no difference between Roma and Leverkusen, these are two teams from two different competitions even though Leverkusen looks superior but Roma also cannot be underestimated, they have now improved very drastically.

I believe it might be a little exaggeration to see Leverkusen and Roma at the same level. There is a really serious performance difference between these teams this season. Even with De Rossi, Roma would still have really serious difficulties against Leverkusen. Because we are literally talking about an unbeaten opponent. 

Roma beat Milan away maybe but they didn't have a good performance on one hand. I don't feel like they would be able to stand much chance against Leverkusen if they play the same. We must have all seen what Leverkusen did to West Ham in the first leg so...

It's too much to equate Roma and Leverkusen, I think there is clearly a difference here and I also see that Roma still doesn't have a big percentage to be in the semifinals and meet Leverkusen because even though they won the first leg against Milan, the performance of the Roma team was so bad that Agg 1 It is very possible to catch the goal in the second leg.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen is currently still quite stable, if there are no big surprises like Atalanta's surprise against Liverpool, then the Leverkusen team can be said to be a team that has quality above the average of other teams.

[emrecemsan]

Leverkusen are continuing to perform miracles in this dream season with Xabi Alonso. 



It says 41 matches but it must have become 42 as of the West Ham victory. This is just magnificent! It is a big joy to watch every single match Leverkusen play now. They just don't know the meaning of losing. Xabi Alonso is aiming the maximum level ball control and pressuring their opponent as much as possible. This system has worked very smoothly until this point as they will probably announce their first ever Bundesliga trophy today. 

As for the Europa League trophy, why not?    They look like nobody can stop them.

[rendravolt]

Milan may be embarrassed in front of their fans after their narrow defeat to Roma in the first leg but everything is not over yet and Milan's opportunity to win in the second leg is still very open. That's not a big aggregate difference and I'm sure they can still turn things around at home to Roma later. They just need to implement a different strategy and learn from the previous defeat against Roma.

On the other hand, Roma, who have been on the rise lately, are worth watching out for and since being handled by De Rossi, their performance has always been impressive. But they also have to start being alert because Milan will play hard at home and Roma should start looking for ways to break into Milan's goal even more. Defense will be one of the determinants of victory for both teams and one mistake will be very fatal for their chances of qualifying for the semifinals.

The biggest reason why Rome won this match was that they were lucky. Milan could not take advantage of many opportunities, in fact there were very good positions where they could have scored.
Roma scored thanks partly to the referee's decisions and partly to luck. I think there are offside decisions and penalty decisions that need to be discussed. We should also not forget the shots that hit the post. Rome was on a lucky day

It is what it is and it is not a positive result that makes Roma feel comfortable. Everything is not over yet and Roma still has to fight to stop Milan in the second leg. I think if Milan can learn from their previous mistakes, they could beat Roma in the second leg and that would make Roma start to panic. There is no way that Milan will just stay silent and they will avenge this defeat at home to Roma.

Now we can see that Roma have not been able to completely suppress Milan's attacks and therefore their defense must be even stronger than before. If they can't fix that then Milan will have a much easier time breaking into the goal. Every referee's decision is quite controversial and there are times when we can't do anything if the referee has already decided. However, we can only hope that in the second leg the two teams can show a fiery quarter-final match and this will also eliminate another representative from Italy in the European league.

The chance remains there because Manchester City continues to win games and it most likely until the last match of the season, which is also putting pressure on Arsenal to win against its opponent for the title race soon.

I feel like Klopp doesn't really play to win, he plays to grow, he plays to basically make sure they do everything they can, but not really for just a title, it's growth that matters to him. All in all I believe that we are going to definitely see them do well enough, it is just not going to be all that simple.

We should let Liverpool lose if they do not care, why pressure them into something that doesn't make sense for them, they do not care because it's smaller than what they should be going for, they are normally good enough to be at UCL, and football is so weird that because you think you deserve UCL and not Europa, you end up not caring about Europa and lose that too. That is what we are seeing from Liverpool right now.

The situation is still unpredictable after the previous failure where Liverpool had to lose with a sizable score certainly makes an indication that the second leg will be more difficult because Liverpool will have to try to score 3 goals or even more to keep their hopes alive. But something like this is still possible to happen even though it is a little heavy but the fact is that if Atalanta can score 3 goals at Anfield then it is not impossible for Liverpool to win with a striking score in Bergamo later.

The current conditions of the chance are still there even though it is a little difficult because surely with a big win like this Atalanta certainly don't want to just let go of their momentum but on the other hand things like this are also not easy because Liverpool are still possible to score a lot of goals for them to be in the semi-finals.
I think the chance is still there and still possible for both clubs for the second leg later.

[Farma]

It is what it is and it is not a positive result that makes Roma feel comfortable. Everything is not over yet and Roma still has to fight to stop Milan in the second leg.

In the second leg, they will show their good performance to fight for a ticket to the semifinals, even though AC Milan lost at home in the first leg, it is not impossible for AC Milan to beat Roma in the second round, but in the last meeting at home to Rome, the AC Milan team was able to beat Rome so it is possible that the same thing will happen again.

But this match is difficult to predict, both of them have effective key players, and De Rossi is definitely very motivated to beat Milan at their home, especially with Roma's record of the last five meetings being unbeaten at their home, it is very difficult to decide defeat in the capital city of Rome but coach Pioli will definitely fight for a ticket to advance to the semifinals,
This will still be a tough match and predicting the second leg between these two teams will be over, so I would bet on it.

I believe it might be a little exaggeration to see Leverkusen and Roma at the same level. There is a really serious performance difference between these teams this season. Even with De Rossi, Roma would still have really serious difficulties against Leverkusen. Because we are literally talking about an unbeaten opponent. 

Roma beat Milan away maybe but they didn't have a good performance on one hand. I don't feel like they would be able to stand much chance against Leverkusen if they play the same. We must have all seen what Leverkusen did to West Ham in the first leg so...

Roma and Leverkusen may indeed have the same quality and level of players, but in terms of stability and performance, of course, comparing Rome and Leverkusen is a very exaggerated thing, for now Roma and Leverkusen are like earth and sky so it is not appropriate for us to equalize the chances of the two teams to reach the final or even win the Europa League this season,  My guess, you equate Roma with Leverkusen maybe because Roma managed to beat Milan in the first leg, I think it shouldn't be that Milan's defeat makes you think that way because after all Roma's victory with an aggregate of 1 goal certainly does not guarantee their chances of qualifying for the next round.

At the moment compared to Roma, I think Milan still have a greater chance to qualify for the next round, at the moment Milan only need a draw to force the game to go longer, so if that happens then I am quite sure Milan will be able to destroy Roma at home later, at the moment I am the favorite Milan, Leverkusen or Liverpool who will reach the final.

I'm having that feeling of De Rossi having a great next season the same way it is currently for Xabi Alonso who within his first six months showed great improvement with the squad he came to meet.
I'm head tight currently as I'm too dump to take a side between these two clubs even if it ne is having the season of their lifetime. Milan had some improvement but to see that a big European side would crumble, I wouldn't even agree. They have just earned themselves the spot to the next round in my own opinion.

If As Roma goes on to face Bayern Leverkusen, we all know the outcome, they would definitely defeat them since they couldn't do so against Jose Mourinho last season.
This would be a good chance for Xabi Alonso and his lads to do that. Vamos!

The match in the second leg for Roma will definitely be fiercer because Milan will definitely try to win as much as they can even though they are playing at Roma's home ground, because with just one goal in the first leg it certainly won't be safe enough for Roma to qualify for the next round. Unless Roma can really make a big surprise with an extraordinary increase in performance at home when they host AC Milan in the second leg.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen is currently still quite stable, if there are no big surprises like Atalanta's surprise against Liverpool, then the Leverkusen team can be said to be a team that has quality above the average of other teams.

This season, Leverkusen still has no equal, judging by the fact that they have never lost any match this season. And I don't even hesitate to say that Leverkusen will progress to the next round with an extraordinary aggregate, even though in the second leg West Ham will also try to score a goal to beat Leverkusen. But that is quite a difficult thing for West Ham to do because Leverkusen still has full strength to continue to focus on the Europa League this season in order to reach the final.
