UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[ShowOff]

The record they set its no longer only for Bundesliga but if i dont see bad the other day i see them now has in their hand the record for the whole top football. I mean no other team in history has more no lose long run than them.

But in this kind of tournament you can go out without losing, take that in care, you can lose in penalties.....

If we talk about this season, I admit that Leverkusen has the longest unbeaten record compared to other teams. However, previously there were teams that also had an unbeaten record throughout the season and if I'm not mistaken they were Arsenal. Leverkusen had 44 unbeaten matches based on the references I read, while Arsenal had 49 unbeaten matches in the 2003-2004 season.

Leverkusen deserves high appreciation, especially regarding their performance this season, they deserve to be proud after winning the Bundesliga and stopping Bayern Munich's dominance. It's hard to repeat a great season like this in subsequent seasons, but Leverkusen is starting to become a fearsome team in the Bundesliga and Europe.

Bayer Leverkusen set a record in the Bundesliga as they went undefeated this season to win the title. But this record of theirs is not so easy because there are 38 matches in a season. In these thirty-eight matches, the big team, the small team, their own home field, the home field of other teams have to go through many challenges, but losing in some matches is a very normal thing. Although this is normal, Bayer Leverkusen has not lost any match in the Bundesliga, it must be said that it is a great team achievement.

In the thirty matches that Bayer Leverkusen has played this season, not a single match has caused Bayer Leverkusen to lose in the Bundesliga, so being able to celebrate winning this season early is something that very rarely happens in the Bundesliga competition. So it is very natural for Bayer Leverkusen to receive praise for their extraordinary efforts this season because in the remaining eight matches that they have not played, they no longer have a fundamental influence on Bayer Leverkusen because the Bundesliga trophy this season already belongs to Bayer Leverkusen.

I think that if you search among the world's leagues, you can find longer undefeated streaks and generally more amazing records. For example, recently the Saudi Al-Hilal set a record for consecutive victories: 34. But records have weight only at the top level and here Bayer has no competitors, they have already significantly surpassed the result of Juventus and can make their streak even longer. I don’t know how many years (maybe decades) it will take to surpass this result at the level of the top 5 leagues in Europe.

Bayer Leverkusen showed with a clear score that victory in the Bundesliga will not always belong to Bayern Munich. I would like to call Leverkusen's victory this year epic because no one predicted that they would win the championship in a league dominated by Bayern without losing like this and by crushing Bayern in the matches.

It's obviously amazing result for leverkusen. The club was not only winning trophy and improve its performance. It's also recording a new record that has ever reached by xabi alonso. No doubt that i called him as a new goat consider how alonso took only less than two seasons to help leverkusen in winning the competition. Things have been changing a lot for leverkusen. so many its players being targeted by various big clubs. xabi was not only helping club to push its level to go even higher bur whole players in the club are also getting snow ball effect from what xabi alonso has done to the leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen until they were crowned champions of Germany this season never lost a game but the German league campaign isn't yet over so we never can never be certain if they'll finish the entire season without conceding a defeat. That being said, Bayer Leverkusen has been incredibly impressive with their performances this season both in their domestic league and in the the UEFA Europa League competition
Liverpool before they were eliminated for the Europa League were Bayer Leverkusen's biggest rivals in the competition because of how strong of a team they are and can be but with the intimidating quality of players in the squad but now Liverpool aren't competing again in the UEL, I think it's very likely that Leverkusen will win the Europa League trophy

Leverkusen is the only unbeaten team this season in Europe and their extraordinary achievements are of course thanks to the hard work of players and Xabi Alonso's intelligence in concocting strategies, currently Alonso has the opportunity to win the first treble winner in his career as a coach, to be honest this season Xabi Alonso is very worthy of being able to get the title of the best coach and of course Leverkusen's current achievements can be a proof even though Alonso is a novice coach In the world of football coaching, by lifting Leverkusen's achievements, of course, indirectly Xabi Alonso also managed to lift the club's finances to be better than sponsorship offers that might continue to come, besides that Leverkusen will also greatly benefit from the market value of its players who have begun to increase along with their performance so far.

the number of Leverkusen players targeted by big European teams can certainly make Leverkusen a big profit, but in fact I think maybe it will make them fall back next season if they release many of their main players to other clubs later, but even so of course at the moment Leverkusen's main focus is to win the Europa League and maybe then they will be able to attract other star players to replace the main players who may be go next season, the Europa League champions are only two steps away for Leverkusen and at the moment of course they must be really focused especially the close schedule between the Bundesliga and Europa League will  make Leverkusen's performance decline later.

In fact, Bayer Leverkusen this season really managed to make extraordinary results and also, Xabi Alonso really managed to make new history for Bayer Leverkusen this season. Because after all, Xabi Alonso managed to bring Bayer Leverkusen to the get trophy and also until now that Xabi Alonso managed to make Bayer Leverkusen unbeaten in all competitions and not only in the Bundesliga. Therefore, Bayer Leverkusen in this season at least make great history also outside the Bundesliga because anyway here in the Europa League, that Bayer Leverkusen also has a very good chance to be able to win trophies. If Bayer Leverkusen really manage to win the Europa League trophy also this season, then of course Bayer Leverkusen are completely unbeaten throughout this season and obviously, it is a very extraordinary achievement if it really happens.

Overall, we have 5 matches remaining in the Europa League, 4 semifinal matches and 1 final match which will determine which team is truly strong and worthy of winning the Europa League title this season.
In about week the first leg match will start and this will be the initial match for the team with its superiority to be able to get more favorable aggregate for the settlement of the second leg later.

Marseille vs Atalanta, the first leg match will give Marseille the advantage on paper because they are playing at home, this is good opportunity for them because in the second leg Atalanta will have the home advantage and Atalanta is not weak team.
Marseille must win big in the first leg if they want to have good chance of qualifying for the final, the second leg will be big pressure for Marseille if they don't win big in the first leg.
Roma vs Leverkusen, in this first leg Roma has the advantage of playing at home but Leverkusen in the away match also performed quite well and I think this match will be unlikely for Leverkusen to lose.
In the Roma vs Leverkusen match, I don't think we need to discuss it much because it is clear that Leverkusen will definitely be the team that will qualify for the final, moreover there is second leg match which will provide home match for Leverkusen.

Marseille doesn't look like that much of a great team this year, I am not saying that we are not seeing that much of a change at their run, sure they reached semi finals and that is a good thing for them but I do not think that they are doing all that much great at this moment. I think Atalanta will be a lot better and they will get their win one way or another. I think that is the most important thing.

I feel like we will see Leverkusen get to finals as well, they are an unbelievable team right now and they do not seem to have a stop and not losing at all. This is why I think Leverkusen and Atalanta final will be a possibility, and I believe that Leverkusen should be able to get that win as well. That seems like the most important bet of the season without a doubt for sure.

[liuka]

Yes, in this case Roma not only has the goal of getting the UEL title but also wants to get a ticket to compete in the champions league but the problem is that de Rossi job is very hard to be able to get rid of Xabi Alonso's troops like it is very impossible.
Bayer Leverkusen is currently the strongest club in the UEL as there is a very big chance of beating Roma, even though Roma's performance is very far compared to Leverkusen.
In fact, if we talk about Roma wanting to get a Champions League ticket in the coming season, they could try to get 4th place after failing to beat Leverkusen in the UEL.
So even though Roma will have to admit defeat after being eliminated by Leverkusen, Roma still has hope in Serie A to get a Champions League ticket.

This season, Roma has a bigger chance to achieve their hope of competing in the Champions League because they have two hopes, the first is to catch up on points from Bologna and the second is to succeed in becoming champions in the European League. So far Roma is a strong candidate to win the title because they are a team full of experience in the European league. De Rossi just needs to develop a more effective strategy to beat Leverkusen because Leverkusen this season has appeared quite impressive by being unbeaten.

But for now I think Roma is only focused on the European League because this is the trophy they can achieve if they succeed in performing better. What is quite interesting at the moment is Leverkusen as the opponent because Xabi Alonso, who has succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to become champions in the Bundesliga, of course now they are focusing on the European league. Between these two teams, I was quite impressed with the performance of the two coaches because they both built and succeeded in bringing their teams back from adversity.

[wmaurik]

The record they set its no longer only for Bundesliga but if i dont see bad the other day i see them now has in their hand the record for the whole top football. I mean no other team in history has more no lose long run than them.

But in this kind of tournament you can go out without losing, take that in care, you can lose in penalties.....

If what you mean is the European League this season where Bayer Leverkusen is also there, of course you also have to look at who the opponents are so that Bayer Leverkusen can lose in the penalty shootout. Of course, everyone will also have a different assessment of this because losing in a penalty shootout is an absolute defeat experienced by a strong team because their opponent was unable to beat them in the match. But for now I still don't think like that about Bayer Leverkusen because they are still quite extraordinary up to this moment.

[ShowOff]

Roma is indeed a strong team, they have made quite positive progress since being handled by De Rossi and indeed the possibility of Roma being able to beat Bayern Leverkusen as you said is still there, especially in the Europa League semifinal match, the team will definitely give their best performance.
However, I look at this realistically and the percentage of Roma being able to beat Bayern Leverkusen is quite small, Bayern Leverkusen has everything better than Roma so I think there will be no surprises, Bayern Leverkusen is still the team that is the favorite this season to win the title .

If you look at how they play and what a winning mentality they have I think it's hard not to choose Leverkusen in that match. I agree with what you said that Roma is a good team but I think Leverkusen has the capacity to win the game. IMHO I see Alonso implementing tiki-taka with some changes that put a lot of players in the attack line. This will put strong pressure on the opponent's defense. You can see their match against Dortmund. I thought Dortmund would give Leverkusen their first defeat with a goal scored in the 81st minute. But they remained optimistic and were able to score a goal in the 97th minute. I think that shows their mental quality.

This has been the most fantastic season for Leverkusen with Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen appeared dynamic from the start of the season and they were really able to maintain consistency in performance, the greatest thing I have seen over the last few seasons from a team that ended last season with 12 defeats in 32 matches in the Bundeliga.

Leverkusen is the favorite team in the Europa League at the moment after several other strong teams were knocked out by surprise. Previously there were Liverpool and Milan, but both teams ultimately failed to meet expectations. Leverkusen have a tough match against Roma, but as the favorite team they are really expected to qualify for the final and win the title.

Considering how improved AS Roma have been since the arrival of  Daniele De Rossi at the club, eliminating will be absolutely difficult fir Bayer Leverkusen. The two clubs will meet each other in their semi final two-legged encounter starting from next week Thursday and because of the performance of both clubs since the start of the season when compared, many people including bookmakers are backing Bayer Leverkusen to eliminate their Italian opponents.
For me, I'm of the opinion that Bayer Leverkusen will win the tie but considering the performance of Roma against a big traditional European club like AC Milan in the quarter finals of the competition, I think Roma also stands a good chance of progressing to the final at the expense Bayer Leverkusen if the German club by any chance underestimate them.

Things have been changing a lot for leverkusen. so many its players being targeted by various big clubs. xabi was not only helping club to push its level to go even higher bur whole players in the club are also getting snow ball effect from what xabi alonso has done to the leverkusen.

I think Xavi Alonso deserves all the eulogies he is getting. I have always believed that most great players do not make great coaches. Except in the rear cases of Zidane. If you check some of other big names especially those who played in the middle of the field like Gerard and Lampard you will understand that Xavi Alonso is proven to be better than them. It seems that good coaches emanate from the midfield because the ball allows them to see what happens at the front. I am watching out for Michael Carrick, it seems he will definitely make a good coach like Alonso. Alonso has left an indelible mark in the soil of Leverkusen. I pray that as he choose not to leave the club, he should still try to perform great coming season.

They played really well in the Bundesliga, and I wouldn't be surprised if they also become champions in the Europa League. I think they are superior to Rome anyway. On one side there is Germany's undefeated best team, and on the other side there is the 5th ranked team in Serie A. Even just looking at such statistics, it is possible to say that Rome will lose in this match. Of course, you may have to be a little lucky in European matches, maybe they will play very well against Leverkusen

Yeah, Bayern Leverkusen have set an unforgetable record this season in the Bundesliga league since no other team is able to beat them their undefeated, and this has proved that they are the favorite to win the title this season due to the way they put much effort into every one of their matches. With their steady performance, I don't think they will have any challenges again in the remaining matches that they have to play.

Because they have already dominated the season, the only thing that remains for them now is for them to continue maintaining their position well and making their consistency stronger than before to make the remaining teams afraid of them when it time to meet with them.

My pick to win the UEFA European Europa League Competition would be no other club than Bayern Leverkusen. Do we need to debate on it further?
Jokes aside, As Roma are no match to Bayern Leverkusen, I can't wait to see the game next week Thursday. Yeah, football can change on the pitch but this is a much different case. The consistency they have had this season already speaks for them. Even in the last minutes of the game they could make things happen.

I'm excited for how far they've come this season, the main aim was to win the Bundesliga League Competition. Right now, it's the changed for the treble.

Those statistics is some case would have just been what will define the outcome of this match. Looking more into that statistical comparison, we can see that they’re not playing in the same league and their strength can’t be quantified as regards to that but overall Bayern Leverkusen is still the better team here and will try their best to uphold the unbeaten run they’ve started this season. Roma have come this far also because they were good and also eliminated all of their opponents, so they shouldn’t be looked down on but be feared and played a game of caution with them in order for Leverkusen to achieve victory against them.

I pray that as he choose not to leave the club, he should still try to perform great coming season.

I think many great players become great managers, like Ancelotti and Guardiola, but they were just not the best and not popular due to their role as defensive Midfielder, but still great players. There are many other names like Capello, Rijkaard, Enrique, etc. Midfielders have role to read the game intelligently that makes them easier to see tactical flow in the game.

Xabi Alonso has been doing remarkable job for Leverkusen. He learned the tactics since he was a player under great coaches like Mourinho and Guardiola. I remember that he said that Mourinho discussed the tactics with him when the prepare an el clasico game. Guardiola is also known to discuss his tactics with his players, including with Alonso during their time at Bayern. It feels glad to see Alonso succeeding to use his experience in his managerial career. They are other names that I think they will make great managers like Xavi, De Rossi, Thiago Motta, and maybe Busquet, Modric, Kroos and Kimmich. Beside their tactics Capability, they also need opportunity to succeed.

I don't see Bayer Leverkusen having any difficulty getting into the semifinals now, in fact they have still managed to maintain an unbeatable record throughout this season in all competitions.
We must not only look at a few matches, but we must measure the overall strength of the team from the matches they play.

Roma is indeed a strong team, they have made quite positive progress since being handled by De Rossi and indeed the possibility of Roma being able to beat Bayern Leverkusen as you said is still there, especially in the Europa League semifinal match, the team will definitely give their best performance.
However, I look at this realistically and the percentage of Roma being able to beat Bayern Leverkusen is quite small, Bayern Leverkusen has everything better than Roma so I think there will be no surprises, Bayern Leverkusen is still the team that is the favorite this season to win the title .

  At the moment, the UEL this season is left with 4 teams set to battle it all out at the semi finals. The strongest team said to be Leverkusen will be facing the second toughest Roma and I must say it all seems like the UEFA board wants Leverkusen to go home with the trophy. Comparing the probability of the game outcome taking into consideration both teams performances so far, Leverkusen is the better side and they have the greater advantage over Roma. Yes Roma can be competitive and can make the game tough but Leverkusen's record won't let them stay down to be defeated. Really it'll be a game to look out for as in the first and second legs, both teams would put up their best to seeing if they can secure the 3points.

 The last two teams aren't much of big strengths as they've had minor records so far in their European cup quests. If either of them wins, it'll be a walkover game for their final opponent because either Roma or Leverkusen would be a better side to them considering experiences gained and domestic league performances this season. Atalanta or Marseille aren't tough teams and if I'm to predict the qualified team to be, I'd go for Atalanta based on they are a little above the average performance of their normal performance. The semi finals won't be an easy battle as anything really can happen on the field of play.

 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.
