UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Palakka]

Check out Bayer's games with Karabakh in the group stage, things are not always easy, but the most important thing is the final result and Bayer's is perfect.
As for luck, it has nothing to do with Bayer’s results at all - they play until the end and it is not surprising that in the last minutes they achieve a result in their favor. I think that many teams, after winning the tournament, would not have spent their energy like Bayer yesterday (against an overly motivated Borussia) and would not have been able to save the game in the last minute. Therefore, Bayer’s results are entirely their merit.

Qarabag is actually a weak team, but surprisingly enough at that time Leverkusen had difficulty winning and even that happened in the two legs of the match they played, but luckily for Leverkusen to win the game in the end made Leverkusen able to reach the semi-finals like now, when Leverkusen beat Qarabag, I think Leverkusen will struggle in the Europa League but in fact they continue to be able to maintain an unbeaten record not only in bundesliga but transmitted it in the Europa League, in luck of course we can't deny it when we see how Leverkusen are able to make an incredible comeback but I think it can also be said to be the result of hard work and also the unyielding mentality they have always had.

I quite salute Leverkusen at the moment, because they are able to remain stable and maintain the performance of playing while still in 3 different competitions without being beaten and I think it will be very difficult for any team to do during this time, against Roma, of course it will be a test for Alonso to be able to maintain his team mentality and at this stage of course their have to be ready to win the trophy although it may not be easy.

There are only four team and on paper the only one who has the best chance and performance is Leverkusen so I not sure Atalanta and Roma will be able to apply pressure that really makes things difficult for Leverkusen.
For Roma, it is clear that they will be Leverkusen opponents in this semifinal, but even though Roma performed quite well in Serie A, that will never guarantee that they can play well in the Europa League.
In this semifinal, it is clear that Leverkusen is the favorite and Leverkusen is the team that can make this European League theirs, Roma, Atalanta and Marseille are just teams with quality that is still below Leverkusen.

Look, Leverkusen has received lot of praise and is also acknowledged by everyone that they are strong team, even this season they have title award for their achievements.
I sure Xabi won't let it all go away quickly, he will definitely be able to bring Leverkusen to much better start this season.

  Leverkusen's win away from home over Dortmund last weekend only proved how stunning they've vowed to be till the last game this season. The fans for one bit didn't loose faith in them and they did well to ensure that the confidence still stands. I am personally proud of how that feat has been attained by them.
Leverkusen's qualification to the semi finals of this season's UEL was also historic as they kept their unbeaten record still in play after drawing to West ham.

 This season they've been an undaunted team and they really have all it takes to finish the season with the unbeaten record intact and two trophies in their shelf. Their next UEL opponent is competitive but it's not really a big deal for them based on the fact that they have gained enough confidence and have even being in tougher encounters which they've at thesame time comfortably come out from victoriously. Roma themselves know that they won't be up for a joke game in the semi finals stage.

 We all thought UEL would be fair enough to make an encounter between Leverkusen and Liverpool but we also forgot that football can't always be as it seems as Liverpool, the big team who were projected to stay longer in tbe contest were eliminated by a smaller team who really stands little chance to bring down Leverkusen if peradventure they get to go up against each other in the final game.

 This weekend, Leverkusen would still definitely maintain their unbeaten track record and 99.9% still uphold this record in the domestic league till the season runs out and for their UEL race, the chances to maintain the records are still feasible. Truthfully, so far this season, Leverkusen have been remarkable and they're a team that the football community is proud of.

This weekend, Leverkusen would still definitely maintain their unbeaten track record and 99.9% still uphold this record in the domestic league till the season runs out and for their UEL race, the chances to maintain the records are still feasible. Truthfully, so far this season, Leverkusen have been remarkable and they're a team that the football community is proud of.

They have shown their ability to be an unbeatable team this season both in the domestic league and also in European leagues such as UEL, so far they are still maintaining that, it is not easy to maintain consistency to win or draw against all their opponents, ahead The match against As Roma in the UEL semi-finals is of course a complicated challenge for Leverkusen because since being coached by De Rossi they have really risen from adversity, but it is also impossible for As Roma to break Leverkusen's record as long as they continue to maintain their consistency.

Leverkusen has so far been quite smart in getting a draw, it seems like yesterday when against Dortmund in the domestic league they played with a clear draw, that will make As Roma feel a little less confident seeing how Leverkusen always has a way to balance the game or win the game, Leverkusen seems don't really want to experience defeat and look like they will continue to maintain their record until they become champions in UEL. I want to see how Xabi Alonso and De Rossi will manage their team in this UEL semi-final match. It looks like it will be interesting to watch, especially betting on this match which will probably take place with high tension.

In essence, Bayer Leverkusen is always difficult to lose even though they have not been able to win all the matches this season. So it could be said that Bayer Leverkusen always managed to get points in every match, even though they didn't always get full points, Bayer Leverkusen did not go home empty-handed in all the matches they played during this season. This is what makes them so extraordinary that the performance of the Bayer Leverkusen coach has also received praise from many parties during this season.

Most of the matches they’ve played this season are mostly won matches, they only had few draws. Bayern Leverkusen have broke a record of not losing any match in all of the competitions they are participating in this season and not just the Bundesliga. Now that they’ve won the Bundesliga, they just need to continue the winning streak even when it gets harder for them at some point. They’ve also qualified for the semifinals of the Europa League, they have three more matches to play to win the finals if it’ll end in their favour while they also have to play in DFB-Pokal final match to triumph there also.

Until now Bayer Leverkusen play 30 matches with 25 won and 5 draws and this is their first title in 100 years but as they won this is historical achievement because things like these never usually happen, but they have done now they are having semifinal of the UEFA Europa League against Roma which is surely going to be challenging even they are favourite to win and go through for the final but still things are not easy as we are talking here because we are having good improvement in Roma after sacking of José Mourinho.

But, now they need to keep things at this level because usually we are having problems for the team which have no strong finances after winning titles mostly players leave, and they lost quality and consistency like we have in Napoli and few other teams hopefully Bayer Leverkusen will do better in this season about this all.

[Volgastallion]

I know a few day/weeks back when Bayern Leverkusen cant beat in a easy way the qarabag team they are not gonna be the winners of this tournament, but well that aged like shit after we see Liverpool going out of the tournament, and plus we are seeing Leverkusen with a ton of luck on their side, man they always score a draw or a winner in the last minutes of the games, like yesterday against Dortmund.

I think it's not about luck, it's about the ability to go all the way, they have the will to win, that's all, that's why they haven't lost since last May. If they finish the season without losing a single game, they will repeat Arsenal's history of 2003/2004 when they didn't lose a single game in their league. Honestly I can't imagine what their chances are against Roma, they have been doing quite well this season in Serie A, I think it will be a very difficult match for both teams

Yeah man is clearly they have a huge ammount of ability plus good mental strenght but when you do it that everytime and always the game ended in your favour clearly you are having luck on your side, and luck is a key factor in all the life you need it.

But well lets see how much of their ability and luck had in their pockets for this last run.

Until now Bayer Leverkusen play 30 matches with 25 won and 5 draws and this is their first title in 100 years but as they won this is historical achievement because things like these never usually happen, but they have done now they are having semifinal of the UEFA Europa League against Roma which is surely going to be challenging even they are favourite to win and go through for the final but still things are not easy as we are talking here because we are having good improvement in Roma after sacking of José Mourinho.

But, now they need to keep things at this level because usually we are having problems for the team which have no strong finances after winning titles mostly players leave, and they lost quality and consistency like we have in Napoli and few other teams hopefully Bayer Leverkusen will do better in this season about this all.

Talking about Leverkusen this season is indeed very interesting to discuss. Moreover, now they have managed to become champions in the Bundesliga earlier and maybe that is a new record there. Or it's been a long time since there has been a team that can dominate as extraordinary as Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Even Bayern, which usually always wins there, but this season they had to give up the title and continue to be won by Leverkusen. Even Bayern couldn't beat Leverkusen throughout this season in the Bundesliga. This shows that Leverkusen does have very good quality this season. But his worries were always about finances. As you said, clubs that are strong this season could lose some of their top players in the transfer market and this will make the club weaker again in the next season. And yes, Napoli is an example we can take. And another one from the Premier League, namely Brighton, which also experienced a setback after several of their players left. Leverkusen must retain their best players. Because Xabi Alonso will need it to play in the UCL next season. And in the European League currently Leverkusen's opportunities are very big. They are one step closer to the final. but their opponent, namely Roma, is very difficult to beat.

[Hanadawa]

I think this can give an answer for you guys,
I mean positive results as Leverkusen did is Unbeaten records. of course Roma show improvement after De Rossi become coach, but still the confidence of players is better on Leverkusen side. I didn't say Roma is underperform l, just Leverkusen is amazing at the moment. If Roma win the match, 2nd leg will be more interesting, right?

IMHO Leverkusen and Roma both have a chance to win the match. I mean if you look at their previous matches in the knockout round they haven't made a score that is much different from their opponent. They won 2-0 and then drew 1-1. They also drew 2-2 with Qarabag then won 3-2 in the second leg. I see Leverkusen will play aggressively but it will ignore their defense. On the other hand AS Roma also had the same style of play but they had Brighton 4-0. I think this match will be interesting and which team is able to accommodate their defense will be able to win this match.

But, now they need to keep things at this level because usually we are having problems for the team which have no strong finances after winning titles mostly players leave, and they lost quality and consistency like we have in Napoli and few other teams hopefully Bayer Leverkusen will do better in this season about this all.

I believe that Leverkusen's project with Xavi Alonso will be better than Napoli's was
Obviously it's difficult for a team that has been so good for one season to maintain the same run for longer, even for more traditional teams it's difficult to maintain such a run
Leverkusen will be playing in the Champions League next season, so it's an excellent reason for them to keep up the good work

Now just talking about the Europa League, I remembered that in the 23 season there was the same semi-final between Leverkusen and Roma and it was Roma who reached the final, after 1x0 and then 0x0
So it's not an opponent to be underestimated and think that Leverkusen will easily win the title

[lixer]

There are only four team and on paper the only one who has the best chance and performance is Leverkusen so I not sure Atalanta and Roma will be able to apply pressure that really makes things difficult for Leverkusen.

I sure Xabi won't let it all go away quickly, he will definitely be able to bring Leverkusen to much better start this season.

We have just 5 more matches left in this season while we are having now all four-best teams left in this competition which are going to give their best in remaining games which will allow them to have won the title even things are clearly favouring Bayer Leverkusen for having win but still we can't predict about few things with Atlanta and Roma both are doing good, and we are also having now Marseille which is not strong enough as we have them in the Past, but they can also give surprise which will be allowed them to have final of this event.

Roma and Bayer Leverkusen are already having matches in last season which was won by Roma, but now we have good changes in teams with improvement of quality is also matter so can Bayer Leverkusen keep their unbeaten record, or we are going to have Roma is jumping for another final which could be also interesting.

Yes, there were difficulties in the games with Karabakh, but in the end, note: for Bayer, a bad game is one where they played a draw with an outsider, and for all other clubs, a bad game is one where they lost to an outsider. Bayer has raised the bar very high, which is why everyone is discussing their local problems.
As for the games with Roma, they will not be easy, this is 100%, but yesterday we saw that Roma is not yet as scary as it seems - the usual Bologna beat them away with a score of 3-1 and I see no reason why Bayer will not be able to repeat this. Still, Milan would have been a more difficult opponent, but fortunately Roma jumped above their heads that time.

Roma - Bayer Leverkusen I think it will be a good and intense challenge, the two pretenders to the Europa League title clash. Last year they played each other in the semifinals and it was Roma who passed the round with a final result of 1-0 Who knows how it will go this year, Leverkusen seems unstoppable but I'm sure Roma will not disappoint

[hahay]

But, now they need to keep things at this level because usually we are having problems for the team which have no strong finances after winning titles mostly players leave, and they lost quality and consistency like we have in Napoli and few other teams hopefully Bayer Leverkusen will do better in this season about this all.

So it's not an opponent to be underestimated and think that Leverkusen will easily win the title

However, if for example many of Bayer Leverkusen's key players leave in the transfer window for the next new season, then at least it will prove to Xabi Alonso whether he will still be successful or whether he will fail. Indeed, maintaining good performance will be difficult especially if there are big changes in the squad because, even though the squad remains the same, but sometimes the team will fail to achieve the same good results in the previous season . So yes, because Xabi Alonso chose to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more season, then of course it will be interesting to see the results of Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen next season. Because it is clear, this season, Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso have achieved extraordinary success and Bayer Leverkusen still have the highest chance of getting the treble winner.

[dzungmobile]

Yes, there were difficulties in the games with Karabakh, but in the end, note: for Bayer, a bad game is one where they played a draw with an outsider, and for all other clubs, a bad game is one where they lost to an outsider. Bayer has raised the bar very high, which is why everyone is discussing their local problems.

Bayer Leverkusen, no doubtful, are playing one of best seasons in their club history and let's remind about a season many years ago with Ballack, Ze Roberto, Lucio, they ended it as a runner up in three competitions. This season so far is better for Leverkusen because they already won Bundesliga.

They will have some more matches to win two more titles that are more important than any unbeaten record. A record, no matter how long it is, will stop some times but if Leverkusen can win titles, they will be remembered by history.

As for the games with Roma, they will not be easy, this is 100%, but yesterday we saw that Roma is not yet as scary as it seems - the usual Bologna beat them away with a score of 3-1 and I see no reason why Bayer will not be able to repeat this. Still, Milan would have been a more difficult opponent, but fortunately Roma jumped above their heads that time.

Roma did not play bad but their players lacked of accuracy with their shots in a match with Bologna. It can be a hiccup of Roma before two big matches with Leverkusen. We can say the same with Leverkusen and their match against Qarabag weeks ago but Leverkusen came back and got a draw, not lost it like Roma yesterday.

Their semi final matches will be interesting because Leverkusen are very attacking in this season and De Rossi can let Roma playing an attacking football too. I feel that De Rossi will choose a secured and safe approach for semi finals, not too aggressively attacking because it is like suicide when the opponent is Leverkusen.

[Zanab247]

I know a few day/weeks back when Bayern Leverkusen cant beat in a easy way the qarabag team they are not gonna be the winners of this tournament, but well that aged like shit after we see Liverpool going out of the tournament, and plus we are seeing Leverkusen with a ton of luck on their side, man they always score a draw or a winner in the last minutes of the games, like yesterday against Dortmund.

That is competition for you, that is why you don't need to give up when you are experiencing some challenges in your journey, and likewise to some teams also, their coach don't use to give up whenever their team are experiencing poor performance than to continue improving the team until they started displaying well.

Bayer Leverkusen has surprised many people in this season to beat many teams that used to beat them before, without allowed them to secure a single goal from the game, but they used this season to send some messages that they have changed positively  to get a good record from this season.

If Bayer Leverkusen will be able to lift any trophy in this season,  I guess they will surely perform more than this next season because they have showcased so much strength in this season to make people to believe that they will finish well in this season.

I think this match will be interesting and which team is able to accommodate their defense will be able to win this match.

But the reality in the Roma vs Leverkusen match, looking at the history of matches this season, it seems difficult for Roma to win. of course, any match starts with 50:50 chances for both. However, we must be able to see Leverkusen strength and Xabi strategy of being able to become an unbeatable team, might make things very difficult for AS Roma. Let's see, in Serie A, AS Roma lost to the new big 4 club, Bologna. The match they should have won for a UCL spot, it seems they couldn't get it. So, Roma need to make sure, this match they can't make a single mistake if they want to win the match.

I sure Xabi won't let it all go away quickly, he will definitely be able to bring Leverkusen to much better start this season.

I do agree that it looks like it is equal chances for untrained eye, but when a team does as well as Leverkusen did this season, I feel like it is not going to be easy to beat them. I get that it may feel like it is always a bit questionable, you never know who will actually win, but I think it is clear that we are going to end up with a win here for sure, Leverkusen did so well until so far and that's not for just to lose at the very end.

I believe that they are going to get the win, and they will get the cup. Roma is great and all, they definitely look like a new team after Mourinho, but I do not give any chance at all to Roma to win. Leverkusen will beat Roma, and then whoever they will face at finals to get the title for sure.

But well lets see how much of their ability and luck had in their pockets for this last run.

Roma was a strong opponent for Leverkusen in the semi-finals this season, but Leverkusen has been really good at maintaining their form. Leverkusen's performance is something that is difficult for any team to match so far this season, but in Europe Leverkusen could be different.

Xabi Alonso certainly really hopes to win the Europa League title this season, he definitely wants to win the double and make history for Leverkusen. It is true that there are still many people who doubt Leverkusen in Europe, but their chances of winning the title will be even greater if Leverkusen is able to overthrow Roma in the semifinal.

I often said in this thread in previous posts, that these two teams have the potential to overthrow each other. I have reviewed a little from the sides of the two teams before, whether it was Leverkusen or AS Roma. What's unique is that this match is like last season, the two met in the semifinals. What was different was that at that time Jose Mourinho was in charge of AS Roma. In fact, the last semifinal match wasn't very interesting at all. Now in De Rossi's hands, AS Roma is playing more offensively and productively in terms of scoring goals. in the match against Leverkusen, we will see what strategy De Rossi will implement for his squad. It could be that the counterattack option is his mainstay to overcome Bayer Leverkusen's aggressiveness. however, referring to the performance and stability of the two teams, Leverkusen is better than AS Roma. Naturally, De Rossi has only managed AS Roma for 18 matches in various competitions. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso knows his team's squad much better. Also referring to the odds for the two teams, Leverkusen is favored by the bookies even though the match will be played at Roma's home ground. However, the difference in odds is not too far apart. So, to ensure how exciting this match will be, we have to wait until the time for the battle between the two teams to be held.

I think this can give an answer for you guys,
I mean positive results as Leverkusen did is Unbeaten records. of course Roma show improvement after De Rossi become coach, but still the confidence of players is better on Leverkusen side. I didn't say Roma is underperform l, just Leverkusen is amazing at the moment. If Roma win the match, 2nd leg will be more interesting, right?

In the league match, Roma lost to Bologna at home. The fact that they were defeated at home in the last match means that they have more hopes for Leverkusen. Leverkusen is currently following Roma closely. I'm sure they will analyze their shortcomings in the Bologna match and force them to make similar mistakes against them. I guess they would never want such a result when De Rossi and Roma were in full form. If Bayer Leverkusen wants to win the championship, it must beat Roma comfortably in both matches.

If you judge Bayern Leverkusen by their early performance, you might be missing an important fact which is that they have been getting better as the season progresses. There have been serious improvement both in their style of play and the team spirit. This was what gave them the resilience that got them a draw against Borussia Dortmund,  a match everyone thought they had lost.

AS Roma have not also done badly in their recent performance following their change if manager. This will make the encounter a very competitive one and very difficult to predict. I'm gradually tilting towards Leverkusen reason being that their dedication and motivation this season is second to none.
