UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Mame89]

It's not that AC Milan is bad, but the Arema team's game is quite good and it must be admitted that even though they have to play with 10 players, their defense is quite strong and the team's game is still well organized so this makes it difficult for AC Milan, especially since Roma was already ahead. 2 goals, I think Roma is better than AC Milan and they deserve to advance to the semifinals.

It's sad to see AC Milan play. After this defeat, Pioli and the squad he has should be ashamed of himself. At least now, there is no reason to keep Pioli. The reason is that last year, he was saved in the semifinals of the Champions League. However, this season AC Milan really doesn't look like a strong team, As Roma played with 10 players from the first half but AC Milan under coach Pioli couldn't recover. Yes, of course, with its current performance, As Roma deserves to advance to the semifinals.

Liverpool's elimination means that Leverkusen and Roma are the two favorite teams for now, but for both of them it will not be easy because the semifinals are about readiness and mentality, any team that is in the semifinals will certainly be ready and give everything to be able to produce their best performance.

Liverpool were surprisingly eliminated after losing to Atalanta, even though previously Liverpool were one of the favorite teams to win the Europa League trophy this season. But yes, that's football, anything can happen. But my prediction is that the Europa League final this season will be between Leverkusen vs Atalanta and the winner of the Europa League Trophy this season will be Leverkusen.

My dreams shattered after seeing Liverpool get eliminated last night...    I was hoping to see a Leverkusen v Liverpool finale a lot like many others. Salah's early goal gave me hope but we didn't see any goals later. Liverpool were even worse in the 2nd half which was unbelievable. I wouldn't expect them to give up this easy.

After Klopp changed 4 of his important players in the 2nd half I started to lose my hopes quickly about them. Klopp also looked like he accepted their destiny. Now my expectation is to see Leverkusen as the champions no matter what. The biggest surprise of the Europa League would be their elimination from now on.

Final between Liverpool and Leverkusen could have been epic and all fans of football wanted this to happen. But Liverpool couldnt make up that 0:3 from first game. When i saw the early goal i was expecting 3-4 more goals in this match but Atalanta just holded the result and knocked out Liverpool. Liverpool changed players because they need to save them and attack the premier league title with all they got.

But my prediction is that the Europa League final this season will be between Leverkusen vs Atalanta and the winner of the Europa League Trophy this season will be Leverkusen.

We have failed to see our team in contention for the title in the Europa League and I would like to congratulate Atalanta. Now we will put our full focus on the Premier League because the competition for the Premier League title is still very possible for us to achieve.
It is true that in a competition, anything can happen and that is undeniable. In the Europa League, Liverpool gave their best but our achievements only reached the quarter-finals.

To the great Liverpool, You'll Never Walk Alone.

Final prediction, I only support Bayer Leverkusen. Who will be their opponents, no comment from me.

This is Europa League and Liverpool is not the only club that feels the same way to be eliminated when they are favorites because previously in the last 2 seasons there were names of Barcelona and Napoli who actually had to admit that Frankfurt was much better and last season there were Barcelona and Manchesrter United who also had to admit that a club in pain like Sevilla had a much better performance in the Europa League than them so this season Liverpool and Milan are the next victims.

Now indeed after Liverpool disappeared from the competition, it is certain that the biggest hope is in Leverkusen, especially at this time Xabi with his unbeaten magic is still maintained, besides that the treble winner motivation for Leverkusen is still very open, so there is no reason for Xabi and Leverkusen not to be favored now but even so, the Semi-finals and Finals cannot be underestimated because after all the 4 clubs currently in the semi-finals clearly have the same opportunity to become champions so Leverkusen must not waver at this time.

I have imagine it before and that is what happened to Liverpool, Liverpool can not defeat Atlanta in Atlanta stadium, because that will be very difficult for Liverpool, Atlanta defeat Liverpool in Liverpool stadium with 3 goals and Liverpool can’t do anything about it, that makes me believe that Liverpool will be eliminate from this Europa League, from yesterday match of Liverpool and Atlanta, the match is very tough because the both teams are playing very well and if not be the penalty that Liverpool had in the game Liverpool can not even score a single goal in the game.

The only trophy can win this season is English super cup and they have won it already, because no matter how hard Liverpool play now they can’t win premier league again, the reason why I say that Liverpool can not win the premier league is because two teams are ahead of them, and those teams are teams with good performances. In fact let just imagine that Manchester City have won the premier league trophy because after Real Madrid eliminate Manchester City in quarter final of champion league, Manchester City will focus on premier league than any other team and they can win the league because they are presently leading in the league.

[KTChampions]

Now Italy and Germany will retain the first two places in the UEFA club rankings and will receive 5 tickets to the Champions League, while the Premier League will remain with 4. Few people believed that all English clubs would reach the finals, but probably even fewer believed that they would all be knocked out in two days.

Bayer broke Juventus' record and I think it will stand for many years, if not decades - 44 games without defeat is incredibly difficult to repeat at the level of the top 5 leagues in Europe.

This is definitely a heavy blow to the EPL who have at least four clubs battling the last four place and the fifth place was suppose to be a gift for them but right now it’s Ovey for them. Clubs like Manchester United and Newcastle were actually looking towards snatching that place off and qualifying to the Champions League. Not only that the last place in the club World Cup has been handed over to RB Salsburg after Arsenal who were deemed to fill the last place failed to make it to the last 4 of the champions league.

Bayer Leverkusen once again showed resilience to actually got a draw in the game to keep their unbeaten alive. As the clock was wining down I thought maybe it was going to be broken but as always Leverkusen find a way in the last minutes to create history

United, Newcastle and Chelsea are not participating in the battle for the Champions League even if the Premier League had 5 tickets there. Tottenham and Aston Villa are competing for the 4th ticket and if the Premier League received the 5th, these teams would play in the Champions League next season.
Bayer has a game ahead with Dortmund, which needs 3 points, but not very much (since Germany has 5 tickets to the Champions League), so I hope for the continuation of this phenomenal series.

[Gallar]

Marseille has a winning mentality. They lost 1-2 in the first leg and managed to win 1-0 in the second leg and qualified for the semifinals via a penalty shootout. Marseille and Atalanta are 2 teams that were previously underestimated. This is an interesting match as the two underdog teams meet each other in the semifinals.

~Snip

Yes, I also didn't expect Atalanta and Marseille to qualify for the Europa League semifinals. Because as you said, these two teams are not too favored teams to make it this far in the European league. However, since the European League started, Atalanta and Marseille have proven their quality. The reason is that in the group stage, Atalanta managed to become the top of group D, without experiencing defeat. And Marseille also managed to become runner up in group B with 1 defeat. So since the start of this competition, Atalanta and Marseille have experienced very good development. Because if you look at the achievements of Atalanta and Marseille in their respective domestic leagues, the results are not good. However, in this European League competition, Atalanta and Marseille produced results that far exceeded expectations.

And unfortunately these two teams had to meet in the semifinals. Because maybe it would be more exciting if, for example, Atalanta and Marseille met in the final round. Apart from that, in the first leg match, I personally predict that Marseille will definitely have a big chance of winning. The reason is, the first leg match will be held at Marseille headquarters. So Marseille definitely gets more benefits. Because if we look at Marseille's match against Benfica, in the first leg Marseille lost at Benfica's headquarters. However, in the second leg, Marseille was able to win the match. And this of course cannot be separated from the influence of the mentality of the Marseille players who are better because they are playing at home.

[rdluffy]

In my opinion, Atalanta will play more defensively, they won't expose themselves so much to Liverpool, who will surely make pressure for a quick goal
It's normal not to expose yourself so much, especially playing at home with a good goal advantage
I think Atalanta will qualify, but Liverpool can win the match 1x0 or even 2x0

The odds for Atalanta qualify is only 1.15, I don't think I'll do this one, maybe Liverpool win paying 1.66

I'm pretty happy with my prediction hehehe 
Liverpool did some pressure, got a quick goal and made us believe that qualification was possible
But it's not easy to score a lot of goals against an Italian team playing at home

All English teams are out of the main continental competitions

The Europa League is still quite interesting
I'll think about my next bets, but it seems inevitable to think about a final between Leverkusen and Atalanta

Now my expectation is to see Leverkusen as the champions no matter what. The biggest surprise of the Europa League would be their elimination from now on.

there is no need to be sad or regret what has happened because since the first leg it was clear that Klopp mistake was underestimating Atalanta and saving his main player to replace another player in the second half and that was a really bad mistake.
If only in the first leg Klopp had used Salah as the main player, there would definitely be hope that teamwork would be as strong as usual, but if Salah entered the field in the second half it would definitely be more difficult to set a strategy to score because the other players were already there more tired were unable to provide support to Salah and ended scoreless in the first leg.
TBH, I also want to see Leverkusen performance when they face Liverpool, but seeing the formation used by Klopp makes me doubtful.

and from Liverpool failure, I just want to know who at that time here said that Roma would not be able to overcome the difficulties in this quarter final and I still remember someone saying that Roma or Milan would not be able to qualify, but the fact is that Roma is very confident to continued the positive trend in the semi finals.

Liverpool's chances had decreased significantly after the 3 goals they conceded in the first match. In fact, they were very lucky to score a goal right at the beginning of the match, but they did not play well in the rest of the match. They needed to play much more offensively, but they could not find enough scoring opportunities.
If they had played a more dominant game, maybe they could have finished the match by scoring more goals. I don't think Atalanta can be very successful in the next matches

Many big ifs for Liverpool like if in a first match, they could score one or two goals or avoid one less conceded goal, their fate will be different in the second leg. In the second leg, it they can score a second goal, it will be different too.

All these conditions did not happen and Liverpool lost against Atalanta in a deserved way. They will return to Premier League with disadvantage against two competitors, Manchester City and Arsenal. Liverpool have some last matches in Premier League to find their chances for winning a league trophy but they will have to surpass Arsenal, then Manchester City to win it.

All three competitors of Premier League title now are only focusing on the domestic league and it means Liverpool have less chances to take over a second and first position from two competitors.

That is quite heavy for Liverpool in the first leg to be left far enough behind so it will be difficult to catch up even Atalanta will not let it go.
In the second leg we know Liverpool are quite dominant in the game but their attack can still be said to be bad, nothing deadly, only the one goal from the white dot the rest with a long time Liverpool could not score again.

I thought Liverpool would have more goals but what we thought was wrong, the substitutions did not change the situation.
Atalanta just need to get past Marseille into the final, it's even I guess.

It's true, that hope appeared when they were able to score a quick goal in the first half, but when they waited a long time to see the additional goal they scored, it didn't come until the end of this match. Just one goal win is not enough to enable them to turn things around because they need at least 3 goals to equalize first.
Atalanta was able to anticipate everything, they were able to create a fairly solid defense at the back so it was not easy for Liverpool to score additional goals in this match.
Everyone's hopes could not come true in the Europa League this season, because we had predicted that Liverpool would be in the final, but Liverpool had to experience another fate and losing by 3 goals in the first leg was the turning point where they had to be eliminated by an Italian team. That. The hopes of Liverpool supporters to see them succeed in Jusrgen Klopp's final season must fall one by one.

Will you call just one goal hope. I never believed that with the early goal scored with a penalty, that Liverpool still have hope of qualifying. I was even expecting Atalanta to equalize the goal, because Liverpool to me was not like a club that will score much goals in the match, based on their performance in the last two matches that was played in Anfield. Assuming Liverpool did well in the first leg, they would ha e been able to play to qualification, and Atalanta would have been scared of them.

Things are bad for Liverpool and even bigger, bad for Premier League. Defeats of their clubs from Champions League to Europa League actually affect their chances to compete for an extra spot in Champions League.

This season changes from very promising to nearly nothing for Liverpool and Klopp. They already ended in Europa League and in Premier League, a defeat last week is like a suicide from Liverpool to give advantage in the race to Manchester City. Klopp and Liverpool will not give up easily in Premier League but they will need both Manchester City and Arsenal lose points in last 6 match days.

They will have 6 more matches to fight and 6 more chances to hope for gifts from Manchester City and Arsenal.

[makishart]

I am interested in the Milan vs Roma match. Milan played their home match in the first leg. But Milan lost the match 1-0. However, AC Milan players dominated the entire match. Milan players made a total of 25 shots. On the other hand, Roma's players made only 10 shots. Roma's defenders performed well in this match. Roma could not have won against Milan if the defenders did not do well.

Roma will play at their home in the second leg match. Still, I'd say it won't be easy for Roma to win this match. Milan team is comparatively stronger than Roma. Milan has a big chance to win this match. But Roma will try to draw the match. If the defenders of Roma can perform as well as in the first match, Roma team will qualify for the semi-finals.

Shit happens to the liverpool yesterday. Salah did nothing to help club from being dropped off europa laegue. Liverpool has failed and numerous speculations about liverpool was gonna face leverkusen has vanished. Things are changing a lot at this time by seeing how liverpool was trying so hard to make the situation better.
The reds has EPL as the remaining competition to win. The main problem if liverpool may be also bottling it since manchester city is leading the competition with two points more compared to the arsenal or liverpool. Fans are starting to blame their favorite club caused by the inconsistency from the players.
Atalanta is now winning the duel against liverpool, which is proving if club is stronger than liverpool. it's not about luck or unlucky you are.

[Velvet78]

All these conditions did not happen and Liverpool lost against Atalanta in a deserved way.

Yeah the result didn't surprise me either as I was expecting to see it. But if Liverpool were able to maintain their scoring performance after Salah's goal maybe it might have been a more interesting game.

Atalanta seem like a really determined team in this tournament. At first I thought this would be the end of the road for them but after seeing the way they beat Liverpool my vision about them has changed.    Now they are going to face Marseille in the semi finals. Despite knowing how good the work Marseille did was against Benfica I still see Atalanta one step ahead. If Atalanta get a decent result away first then I don't feel like they would let Marseille win this matchup.

All three competitors of Premier League title now are only focusing on the domestic league and it means Liverpool have less chances to take over a second and first position from two competitors.

It's a shame, how regretful it is for Jurgen Klopp to have to discover the bitter reality that the team he managed ultimately failed to meet the fans' expectations. Klopp just smiled when the final whistle sounded, while he shook his head when his team was unable to break into Atalanta's goal which was closely guarded by Juan Musso.

Atalanta is certainly very comfortable playing total defense throughout the match while utilizing counter-attack schemes, that's because they are leading 3-1 on aggregate. Liverpool also have to face the bitter reality that it seems difficult for them to expect Arsenal and Manchester City to slip at the top of the standings. Manchester City, who both failed in the Champions League with Arsenal, seems to be very focused on maintaining their position at the top of the standings, at least that will be a sedative for all their fans.

Liverpool actually had several good opportunities, but they couldn't take advantage of those opportunities optimally. Even in the second half, it was quite clear that Liverpool were starting to lose their composure. Their rhythm of play was not as good as in the first half and the players looked very frustrated because Atalanta defended quite solidly. I think Liverpool was too confident in the first leg, and they didn't expect that Atalanta would be able to score 3 goals when the match was held at Anfield Stadium.

[Altryist]

Atalanta just need to get past Marseille into the final, it's even I guess.

In the return match, Atalanta just needed to play well in defense, they coped with the task perfectly, and Liverpool, of course tried to dominate, but in the first match they allowed Atalanta to gain too much of an advantage to hope for any positive outcome in the future.
I also really liked yesterday how Roma played with Milan, De Rossi breathed new strength into the team, this is a completely different team than it was with Mourinho, and they deserved the victory over Milan, even taking into account the fact that they were forced to play in the minority, for them this didn't become a problem.
