UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[BlackBoss_]

Roma was so dumb. It played offensively away from home, while Leverkusen chose to play defensively against it. The situation could be different if Roma played defensively, as Mourinho did in the away game. This is why Mourinho isn't even comparable to de Rossi. The club's winning mentality existed while Mourinho was still coaching Roma.

Did you miss that the first leg is at Roma's home stadium, not Leverkusen's home stadium?

Roma did not play too attacking, I can say so, and they did got chance to score first but unluckily, Lukaku's headshot hits the bar. Minutes later, a personal mistake of Rick is a turning point of the match. Leverkusen opened the match with it and after that, the match becomes more easily for them. If Leverkusen completed their chances better, Roma would have gotten more than 2 conceded goals in this match.

The second leg will be very difficult for Roma and they wasted a very last chance in the match to reduce difficulty if Tammy can score a goal. Now, they still have a second leg to fight but their task is very heavy.

Leverkusen certainly is a much better team than Roma. The game was played on Roma's home ground in Rome. Leverkusen played really well with good attacks scoring a goal in 28th minute and the second in 73rd. After the 2nd goal they rightly got defensive and let Roma test their defense. But Roma failed to score a single goal even though they were aggressive at the end. The 2nd leg played next week too would result in similar condition and Leverkusen would go on winning this Europa League Title. Whoever wins between Atalanta and Marseille would be easily defeated by Leverkusen.

Yes that's right. Whichever team passes to the final, be it Atalanta or Marseille, for Leverkusen there is no problem, they will still be champions of the European League this season because Leverkusen's current performance is very trustworthy and very difficult to beat. The reason is that Roma, who was said to be going to break Leverkusen's unbeaten record in the first leg, ultimately failed and of course in the second leg, victory again went to Leverkusen.

Moreover, in the first leg, Bayer Leverkusen managed to beat AS Roma with a convincing score of 2-0. And this match extended Leverkusen's unbeaten record to 47 matches in all competitions, this is a fantastic record. I imagine this season they will get the Treble and of course will continue to maintain their unbeaten record until the end of the season.

Atalanta always manages to qualify for the next round, although previously Atalanta played against Liverpool but Atalanta still managed to qualify for the semifinals. Although in this first leg semifinal Atalanta only got a draw against Marseille but still, Atalanta will still have a very good chance for the second leg later because Atalanta will also play at home. But, it is not about Atalanta playing at home because anyway, Marseille can be said to be a bad team for away matches throughout this season and therefore, Atalanta will still have a good chance in the second leg later. About AS Roma, I personally have said that AS Roma really has no chance against Bayer Leverkusen because it is clear, that Bayer Leverkusen is really an extraordinary team this season and Bayer Leverkusen deserves to get the trophy.

If you look at Atalanta, it is a team that have history and a team that have some good records back then, but like in past decade, they are not in good form and they dropped to a team below average. I was not surprised as they defeated Liverpool and I will not be surprised if they defeated Marseille in the second leg.

Leverkusen has another good chance to bag another trophy in their gallery this season which is a good achievement for Alonso to add more recognition to his performance and he will definitely get a bigger team if he decides to leave even though he has announced that he will be staying at Leverkusen for another season.

Although Atalanta are not as good as they used to be, the current performance they are showing in the Europa League is really exciting. It's interesting that they beat Liverpool to reach the semi-finals and here they had a great performance against Marseille as both teams played well enough to draw in the 1st leg. Although the 2nd leg will be more interesting at present, both teams are likely to make it to the finals and each will try their best.

With Leverkusen in the current state of excitement, we can all say for sure that they have another Europa League and a chance to win the trophy. Leverkusen got a great win at home against Roma in a really aggressive match. However, the most interesting team we have seen this season is Leverkusen and they do not have the highest chance of winning the trophy. And I think this season Leverkusen will be able to win two trophies, the Europa League and the Bundesliga, of course these two trophies are in their hands.

~Snip~

The record Leverkusen is trying to maintain at this point in time is such that is actually not easy to maintain at all and I can say for sure that they are actually trying a d are doing the very best they can do, from the beginning of the season no one has expected this much from them because they have always taught they aren't a strong team enough to be able to get such records a d all they have gotten is just but average results.

The fact that they were an average team and now been coached by a new and very young Coach was another factor that was been put to consideration that made the expectations on them was actually lowered because it was looking like an average team with such a young coach who's taking up such a job for the first time is  most definitely going to do poorly but then the thing that first drew attention to them was their ability to staying unbeaten in a long time, which has further be maintained tillt hei day and has given them even more attention than they had a earlier.

I think this record could possibly get to give Leverkusen more fans as many people will definitely get to want to be associated with the success they are seeing much more than the one they may. E hoping for and the fact that they are birthing a new era in the bundesliga where team are now having a level fair grounds to play is another huge factor to consider well enough to be able to give more accolades to Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen still maintains their story of being untouched by defeat since the start of the season, this time Roma became victims of their prowess after winning 2-0 at the Olimpico. Leverkusen has again shown all clubs not to underestimate them this season, their winning record in 47 matches is proof that the team coached by Xabi Alonso is very difficult to beat.

Leverkusen transformation is truly extraordinary, after winning their first title this season, they still maintain their chances of being Treble winners after taking one step closer to becoming Europa League champions. Maintaining a stable team performance in 47 matches is not an easy job that can be done by all coaches, especially since this record was set by a club whose background has never won a prestigious competition for a long time.

I think it doesn't really matter, football fans just want to see firsthand the way Xabi Alonso manages Leverkusen and the way they play on the field, one thing that benefits Leverkusen is only increasing ticket sales when they play home games. There are no premature fans who suddenly want to be part of Leverkusen because long before Leverkusen appeared as impressive as it is now, they had been loyal fans of other clubs.

[klidex]

The first leg of the Europa League presented an extraordinary result for Leverkusen who competed away from home even though Roma has a good record in the Europa League but I have to admit that Leverkusen's record is better than Roma, they have a good mentality to become champions this season. I think the first leg will achieve results draw the reason is that Roma is not a weak club and has strong ambitions in the European League and can take advantage of the opportunity to create a large aggregate when playing at home, but in fact Roma was unable to score and conceded 2 goals to Leverkusen. The extraordinary performance of Xabi Alonso's men was still better than foster child of Daniele De Rossi.

Meanwhile other semifinal match Marseille with Atalanta only achieved a draw but at least Atalanta remains the favorite to advance to the final, I think the clubs that will advance to the final are Leverkusen and Atalanta. I see these two clubs have a bigger chance of advancing to the final, for It is clear that Leverkusen will qualify. While for Atalanta they have a big chance to beat Marseille in the second leg when they play at home, against Marseille it is not a big challenge for Atalanta because they are able to beat Liverpool they should be able to do it against Marseille.

Xabi Alonso's men continued their unbelievable and incredible performance last night as they extended their unbeaten run to 47 in all competitions this season. Playing away at AS Roma, I was thinking that the best they could get was leaving the Stadio Olympico with a draw and my opinion was borne out of how improved the Roma team have been under the tutelage of their current manager Daniele De Rossi who took over the club's managerial position after Jose Mourinho was sacked earlier this season but that wasn't the case. Bayer Leverkusen were able to a 2:0 win against Roma away from home so in my opinion, that tie have already been decided.
The other UEFA Europa League semi final game between Marseille and Atalanta, I think the tie is still very much open because none of the two sides were able to get a win in the first leg. However, Atalanta has a better advantage of advancing to the final of the competition because they'll be playing the second leg at home

[Chilwell]

For Roma, Dybala doesn't seem to be on the pitch. Lukaku is trying to do something on his own. Pellegrini and Cristante are nowhere to be seen. I wonder what kind of a speech De Rossi gave. Let's see what will change in the second half.

There is time in the game for Roma, they have such a good record at home, their supporters will not be expecting any result less than a draw. Bayer Leverkusen used their speed a lot on Roma, and it was a problem, Roma in this second half have settled better into the game and have successfully been able to close down some opportunities that Bayer Leverkusen are creating to force a second goal. Roma has to be careful defending however that as they try to get an equaliser, so that they do not allow Bayer Leverkusen the chance to counter-attack.

Unfortunately Roma has disappointed their fans on this one as they are still been held to a 0:2 defeat by Bayer Leverkusen with the game almost coming to an end, 90+ and still counting and nothing is changing so far, Roma had little domina  in the ball possession but Leverkusen got got more of the goal attempts, goal scored and more number of chances created, there's no way AS Roma is going to survive this defeat again because I think it's all over for them at home and the better team has overcomed them right now but they still have the opportunity to make things right when they visit Leverkusen in Germany for the second leg.

Bayer Leverkusen have recorded 47th unbeaten games this season which i consider them as the most strongest team of the season, i said it earlier that this unbeaten record alone creates more tension for Leverkusen's opponents not to concentrate on their game, only few understands how to tackle them, AS Roma have tried their best but just that it doesn't work out and by the way this is not the first AS Roma faces home defeat and again i consider this season to be for Bayer Leverkusen, so i advice AS Roma fan should still exercise patience to start a fresh season with De Rossi to be at the top, i also consider second leg will be for Bayer Leverkusen because they are playing at BayArena which we all know that it's away game for AS Roma, i don't see any hope for AS Roma to defeat Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena in their second leg.

On the other hand Marseille 1-1 Atalanta ended up draw, with the Marseille previous Europa games they are just being lucky up to this stage, but checking their matches the always took advantage of their home to move to the next stage of the competition, but this particular game is different because the draw in the first leg right at Orange Velodrome, i will not conclude yet but i think Marseille will not get to the final, Atalanta will eliminate them.

[naira]

It is not easy to keep up with a good record just like what Leverkusen are doing now. It takes a very strong and deligent team to remain unbeaten despite their participation in various competitions. Leverkusen have shown their good quality again tonight as they continue to maintain their unbeaten record by winning Roma away from home. 2-0 is a good advantage for them in the second leg at home.

The record Leverkusen is trying to maintain at this point in time is such that is actually not easy to maintain at all and I can say for sure that they are actually trying a d are doing the very best they can do, from the beginning of the season no one has expected this much from them because they have always taught they aren't a strong team enough to be able to get such records a d all they have gotten is just but average results.

E hoping for and the fact that they are birthing a new era in the bundesliga where team are now having a level fair grounds to play is another huge factor to consider well enough to be able to give more accolades to Leverkusen.

There is still no stopping Bayer Leverkusen unbeatable dominance either in the Bundesliga or in the European League. In my opinion, with this great strength, Leverkusen could end the season brilliantly and break a record that has never been done by any European team. Xabi Alonso made this team the strongest team, with a minimum player composition but seemed to be full of star players. Based on history, Leverkusen's players are filled with loan players and free transfers, where these players were considered bad in the previous team, but at Leverkusen with Xabi they can actually complement each other.

Roma, whose condition this season can be said to be extraordinary, with De Rossi in this match, cannot provide any surprises. Even the Leverkusen players really enjoyed themselves, as seen before playing and were optimistic that they could win. Originally I had hopes that Roma could stop Leverkusen's dominance but in reality that didn't materialize. Maybe I have too much hope for Roma in today's match.

With these results, a dream for Italian final match in Europa League looks unrealistic and only Atalanta seems to have good chance to join the final match. They get a good result home away and their opponent is not too strong.

With Roma, a defeat at home with two goal difference is very bad and with what Leverkusen shown through this season and in the first leg match, Roma have very small chance to beat Leverkusen in the second leg. And beating Leverkusen with two goal difference looks unrealistic task for Roma. They will have a big match with Juventus in Serie A this weekend before return to Europa League next week and will not have good preparation for that match.

You have actually made an elaborated but true reality of how the Leverkusen team had started with in this season and of a truth our former view towards them at the beginning is totally of a different one at this point as they have proven to be a team to be reckoned with when talking about the German Bundesliga.

They have come out in a formidable form that had made the Bundesliga most competitive this season than we have seen in many years and had not failed to extend this performance consistently even in the Europa league competition. And am fascinated to say that they are a very favourite aide in this Europa competition to win the title this season. More so, am positive we will see more of this about them when they eventually play in the European champions league competition come next season.

The way I’m feeling right now I think this season's Europa League is for Leverkusen because the way the remaining teams are performing is not giving any sign of them winning the league title, Atlanta tried their best yesterday by ending the game draw, Atlanta still have another chance to qualify for the final stage if they play well in the second leg of the match, but as for Roma, Roma is already out of the league, the first leg, they got defeated with 2 goals by Leverkusen and the game was played in Roma field, we all know how good Leverkusen is, if they did not win the second leg match they will end up ending it draw.

The second leg of the game of Atlanta against Marseille and Roma against Leverkusen, those matches will not be easy for the Serie A team both Atlanta and Roma because they are both playing the second leg of the match in a way stages so is better for them to decide what they can do in the next match to qualify to next stage, Atlanta can try but for me, Roma is out of the league.

Maybe Alonso really opens a new chapter in the history of Bayer, yesterday they took a very serious step and beat Roma away. I had doubts whether they could do it, but Bayer won, and did it convincingly. A team that has not lost a single match is unlikely to lose at home in the return match, and yesterday's victory is a very serious bid to reach the final. In the second semi-final, Atalanta played to a draw with Marseille, which also played into the hands of the guests.

The Bundesliga has become more competitive only thanks to Bayer, other teams do not perform as well in the Bundesliga as they do in the Europa League and Champions League.

The consistency they have maintained since the start of the season is still continuing and if Leverkusen succeeds in winning the Tropy treble this season without losing then they are a truly extraordinary team, no one would have thought that before.

In my opinion, Xabi Alonso's squad is the strongest candidate for this season in the Europa League, giving confidence to the players to play according to Alonso's directions and it has been proven that they are able to come out as winners, Alonso's proof is beyond doubt that it is true that he is the most successful successor this year  , Alonso really deserves to be a great coach to become the world's top coach, because he was able to bring Leverkusen to this point with players who are not that well known.

Regarding As Roma, it seems that it will be difficult to turn the situation around because playing as a guest in the second leg is impossible for European clubs at the moment. Seeing that Leverkusen at this point is really a frightening specter for the Italian club As Roma, the problem is that Leverkusen has not yet lost at all.  in their last few matches, let alone in the Domestic League in Europa, they were able to make changes to the scheme played by the Leverkusen players, so it is very clear that Xabi Alonso's men are really strong in all aspects.

[len01]

result is not very pleasant and how is it possible for Roma without scoring a single score against Leverkusen when Roma have a very good chance of playing at home and can you see how many times Roma has wasted opportunities without being able to score when they get good opportunities?
IMO, Roma just lacked focus in that match and didn't want to try to attack closer and shot the ball more often from long distances.
but where is Lukaku? I mean why doesn't Lukaku have his usual mentality?

and Marseille vs Atalanta, both teams performed well yesterday, they had very careful performances, neither team dominated the match, but both teams maintained their defensive line to still end in a draw, but what is very clear here is Atalanta after conceding 1 score, Atalanta tried to use a defensive strategy to get a draw and reply in the second leg.

I had a feeling Roma would have a tough time in the game, but I didn't expect it to be this challenging. Leverkusen secured a two-goal victory over Roma in the first leg. If Leverkusen had capitalized on more of their chances, the score could have been even higher, possibly 5-0 or more. Roma will need a miracle in the second leg against a team that hasn't been beaten this season. For Leverkusen, reaching the final and winning the Europa League title this season seems achievable given their consistent performance. Bayern Leverkusen is currently on a different level altogether.
Leverkusen seems unstoppable and excelling in every aspect. They appear too strong to be defeated.

[legendbtc]

I believe that if next season they are sponsored to buy players, they will be just like the big clubs in Europe. They will make the whole world pay attention to them. Coach Xabi Alonso needs some money in the transfer window. He will know the impossible comes true.

Yes, several players who were targeted by Xabi for market transfers next season have been left behind. One of them is that they want to bring in Rafa Marin from Real Madrid.
https://thehardtackle.com/transfer-news/2024/04/25/xabi-alonso-wants-bayer-leverkusen-to-sign-rafa-marin/

Apart from wanting to get some of the players Xabi is targeting, there are many big clubs who are also increasingly interested in Leverkusen players and have even started to target him. And will Leverkusen really let them go, for several purposes, including getting other targeted players? Yes, because from now on, Leverkusen must be a bigger and bigger club. as well as competition in much bigger events.

This will be a disadvantage for small teams like Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen is preparing to refresh its squad in the summer as it looks to defend its Bundesliga championship and compete in the Champions League. But their reputation or finances are not enough to recruit top stars. They can only choose players that big teams have abandoned or are not famous. Not only that, the opposite will happen. Big clubs are interested in Leverkusen players because they are doing well this season. I believe that the big club will ask for Leverkusen players. Leverkusen will never grow more robust.

They do not have the finances. They will also be like Dortmund. And even coach Xabi Alonso will leave Leverkusen to find a big club to develop his career.

Roma missed the chance to win at home against Leverkusen, and it will certainly be a tougher game for them in the next leg. As they failed to attack successfully at home and lost results, they may be knocked out of the Europa League this season, and they will fail to make it to the finals. Leverkusen who attacked had the potential to score more goals, but it didn't happen, but they still managed to win 2-0 which is huge for them, and they will definitely be tougher at home. Leverkusen have gained a reputation as an unbeaten team so far this season, of course I don't think Roma will be able to pull off a miracle by beating Leverkusen in the second leg. And this season I think they will probably win the Europa League, and they are expected to win the championship. As they have been the best from the beginning to the end of the season, and they are still in the strongest form, they have enough power to win the championship.
