UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Polkeins]

Leverkusen is too dominant to face Atalanta in the final even though I realize that the atmosphere in the final is always different from other knockout round matches.
I'm sure Alonso can give Leverkusen a win against Atalanta.

Leverkusen have the better chance to win it, and take their record to 50 games unbeaten. They are performing at a high level, and although this is not their first Europa cup final, it is their first in a very long time. Atalanta has this at their first ever. It is the finals of the competition, Atalanta players will also want to make the record of winning it, so the players will put in extra work knowing that to win this Leverkusen side that is not used to loosing, they will need to be at their very best and make no errors.

Its amazing record for Bayern Leverkusen success reaching 50 unbeaten games in this season after crucial comeback against AS Roma, actually its not the first time how Bayer Leverkusen scoring late goals of few minutes before match ended. In the football modern with higher level intention, difficult to see any top European teams success reach the unbeaten record match of Bayern Leverkusen although has participants in European competition and success qualifying until final round.

In the final, Atalanta seems will be little difficult opponent team after the more confidence performance by defeating Marseille in semifinal, won 3-0 on second leg make Atalanta become ideal opponent for Bayern Leverkusen in the Europe League final match and its become challenge for Atalanta will be the first team defeat Bayern Leverkusen?

Bayern Leverkusen has not 50 games without defeat, but 49, but still an impressive record. Yesterday when I saw the game I could not believe that Bayer could even the score with Roma, because it is the Italian teams can play from defense and park the bus in the penalty area best of all, but again on 97 minutes Bayer evened the score is really more like some kind of sports miracle. Three games in a row Bayern Leverkusen have scored crucial goals in the 97th minute against Roma, Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund.

Atalanta will not be an easy opponent for Bayern Leverkusen because the team plays active soccer with pressing and is good at counterattacking, besides Atalanta has creative players who can score goals with their individual skills, so Bayern Leverkusen will not have an easy ride in the final and I estimate the chances of victory as 50/50.

I think it is now easy to decide who the trophy fits on this season from what Leverkusen displayed yesterday, not many teams can do that and now I feel really bad for myself not watching the game live. My bet will be on Leverkusen winning the finals, Atalanta is a strong match against Leverkusen not winning the finals but I believe Leverkusen are much entitled to beat Atalanta and secure the trophy. If comparing Atalanta - Liverpool, I also believe putting Leverkusen up against Liverpool will surely be an easy win for Leverkusen.

It's normal for anyone to say something like that now because so far in different competitions, no team has been able to beat Leverkusen, so Leverkusen has successfully won the Bundesliga trophy and has also successfully entered the European League Final this season. I am also quite confident that Leverkusen can win the Europa League trophy this season and it will be the second trophy they will win this season after showing the extraordinary efforts they have shown so far to everyone.

It seems we have to say 50+1 for Leverkusen, 1 for their never-ending luck, although on the other hand Atalanta has the attributes to give Leverkusen a painful defeat. I think the final match between Atalanta and Leverkusen is quite ideal, considering that the Serie A representatives managed to get rid of Liverpool, who were previously favorites to win the Europa League trophy this season.

For Leverkusen, facing Atalanta is clearly easier than facing a team like Liverpool, one more step for Xabi fleet to create new history after successfully locking up the Bundesliga trophy. Apart from that, it is very likely that they will also be able to achieve victory in the DFB Pokal Final, so that at the end of the season Leverkusen will record a very historic success throughout the club journey.

Xabi will certainly change his strategy for the final match, in order to avoid a painful defeat, and at the same time they must try to score a quick goal. It's true, Serie A clubs have better defense lines, when compared with Roma, Atalanta defense line is slightly better, so Leverkusen must be fully alert. Apart from that, it is possible that the winner will have to be determined through a penalty shootout, if that happens then Leverkusen luck will really be tested.

[makishart]

The whole discussion is going the wrong direction because you only have to look at the close results that Leverkusen sometimes had even against Qarabag. If Qarabag is able to almost beat Leverkusen and if Roma is close to pushing the game into overtime after losing 0-2 at home, of course Atalanta has a very fair chance to win the game.

As long as atalanat won't repeat the mistake being made by roma at the first leg. it must be fine. Roma was too aggresive when it was at its home game. It's kinda different with atalanta which was always playing safely through use low block. I hope atalanta will learn from roma's mistake.

The Liverpool vs. Leverkusen story will remain unanswered as we won't get to see the final. I only know that for some reason Liverpool's performance went South and they lost it all within a short period of time. 2 wins out of 5 games in the Premier League and bam the title was gone.

You remind me when almost majority of us talked about the possibility of liverpool vs leverkusen but it was never coming true. lol All the bad stories of liverpool in the late season started from when it was losing against atalanta, then the snowball is getting even bigger for liverpool.

I think it is now easy to decide who the trophy fits on this season from what Leverkusen displayed yesterday, not many teams can do that and now I feel really bad for myself not watching the game live. My bet will be on Leverkusen winning the finals, Atalanta is a strong match against Leverkusen not winning the finals but I believe Leverkusen are much entitled to beat Atalanta and secure the trophy. If comparing Atalanta - Liverpool, I also believe putting Leverkusen up against Liverpool will surely be an easy win for Leverkusen.

Leverkusen vs Atlanta will be a highly anticipated final but as you said of course Leverkusen will 90% win the game and bring this season Europa League trophy to Germany, after all the favourites have been eliminated except Leverkusen of course there is no better option than betting for Leverkusen victory in the final match later,  At the moment we all can't doubt the quality and also the pretty good performance from Leverkusen throughout the season so I think it will be difficult for Atlanta to beat Leverkusen in the final, the team refuses to lose it is fitting for us to mention Leverkusen now because of the fantastic comeback they can continue to do in every game when they almost lost.

Although Leverkusen can be said to be the favorite team to win, but I hope if Atlanta can give a strong fight to Leverkusen in the final match later, so that then we will see an exciting match and also full of attacking each other, especially if Atalanta is able to make a surprise by giving Leverkusen its first defeat, isn't it be a fantastic enough thing?

[fuguebtc]

The European League finally brought together Atalanta and Leverkusen, who still don't know what defeat means in this season, which has been flooded with praise from everywhere. European teams are starting to look at Leverkusen, both coaches and players are being targeted by big teams. With the quality built I am optimistic that Leverkusen will win the Europa League trophy. Atalanta did manage to get rid of big teams like Liverpool and Marseille, but in my opinion to beat Leverkusen you need something stronger. I don't know what tactics Atalanta will use to bring down the Leverkusen players mentality in the final. The reason is that until now no team has been able to stop Leverkusen.

A team as strong as Bayern Munich couldn't even stop Leverkusen this season. So of course Atalanta will also have difficulty beating Leverkusen. And currently many are optimistic that Leverkusen will win the European League title. But all of that is not certain. Because Atalanta is a team full of surprises. For example, Atalanta was able to beat Liverpool quite decisively. So it is not surprising that Atalanta will be the team that can beat Leverkusen. I'm very curious about the results later.

I think it is now easy to decide who the trophy fits on this season from what Leverkusen displayed yesterday, not many teams can do that and now I feel really bad for myself not watching the game live. My bet will be on Leverkusen winning the finals, Atalanta is a strong match against Leverkusen not winning the finals but I believe Leverkusen are much entitled to beat Atalanta and secure the trophy.

Leverkusen vs Roma
2-2
4-2 on aggregate

Expected something like this. And I don’t think it was only me. The cousin has performed in this season, this was expected that they are going to go forward to the final of the Europa League competition. That’s why I said that Roma should actually concentrate on the Italian league a lot more after they lost the first leg against Leverkusen. now Leverkusen is going to play in the final of the Europa League competition against Atalanta. And I actually see Leverkusen winning the final as well the way they have performed in this season, there is no reason to doubt them at all. The thing is, they will play the Europa League final on the 23rd May and they will play the DFB pokal final on the 26th May. So that might be a little bit of a problem for Leverkusen. But I still think that they will be able to win both the finals.

[bering]

For me, Leverkusen is too dominant to face Atalanta in the final even though I realize that the atmosphere in the final is always different from other knockout round matches.
I'm sure Alonso can give Leverkusen a win against Atalanta.

Leverkusen records currently 50 times unbeated and this is very fantastics because i am sure these records will be hard to surpassed by other teams in Europa and if we talking about Leverkusen performance in this competition indeed they are deserved to called as Champion candidate because since group stages Leverkusen performance is very consistent and since knock out phase Leverkusen can beat strong opponents such as West Ham and Roma and even yesterday in the second leg Leverkusen is very fantastic because after conceded 2 goals Leverkusen can equalized the scores and playing draw from Roma

About Atalanta their manager Gian Piero Gasperini was confirmed at the beginning of tournament Atalanta was never targetting the trophy because he know at Europa League there are plenty of strong teams available but as dark horses team surprisingly this team can able reach to the final match and if i am not mistaken this is the first time Atalanta has reached a final match in a European competition so i think their target will change now because i am sure Atalanta want to gets the trophy from this competition and i know Leverkusen is the favourite but i think Atalanta will be hard struggling to win this match too and it's very interesting to know who is the champion of Europa League later

[Altryist]

well, that's what I mean as I said above, if Xabi strategy pattern is to choose to provide a safe performance to maintain the points that Leverkusen has so that every Leverkusen match will definitely always get satisfactory results, even though sometimes it only ends in a draw, but at least Leverkusen really cares about it maintain consistency.
It's not just Leverkusen way of attacking that looks great, but the cooperation between the defenders makes me amazed that Leverkusen is like Real Madrid, with a playing style that is almost the same as you said.

In the second match, Alonso focused on maintaining the result that was achieved in the first match, such a strategy is also acceptable, the most important thing is that it brought results. As for Roma, they should have played better at home, by the way, I expected a much better game from them in Rome, but after the defeat, I said that de Rossi would not be able to come back from two goals, in away match. And although Roma was very close to this, they could not do it. For me, Real and Bayer have different playing styles, but I would like to watch the match between these teams to understand how strong Bayer is now.

[Marykeller]

In the final, Atalanta seems will be little difficult opponent team after the more confidence performance by defeating Marseille in semifinal, won 3-0 on second leg make Atalanta become ideal opponent for Bayern Leverkusen in the Europe League final match and its become challenge for Atalanta will be the first team defeat Bayern Leverkusen?

This time we can't tell whether Atalanta will be the first team to break Bayern Leverkusen's winning record of the season. What I do know is going to be a tough final match between both teams since it's been a long while since both teams lifted a trophy for themselves. Although Leverkusen is on the verge of winning the German Bundesliga of the season. Atalanta on the other hand, has no trophy aiming for the season apart from this(Europa League). This is their first time reaching the finals of the Europa League, while Leverkusen lifted it once.

[lizarder]

I think it is now easy to decide who the trophy fits on this season from what Leverkusen displayed yesterday, not many teams can do that and now I feel really bad for myself not watching the game live. My bet will be on Leverkusen winning the finals, Atalanta is a strong match against Leverkusen not winning the finals but I believe Leverkusen are much entitled to beat Atalanta and secure the trophy. If comparing Atalanta - Liverpool, I also believe putting Leverkusen up against Liverpool will surely be an easy win for Leverkusen.

If you look at the two teams that entered the final it will be a little easier to make a prediction about who will win the Europa League. Leverkusen has quite high spirits now, apart from being undefeated they have also secured the Bundesliga trophy so their motivation to win the European league title will be even higher. I also predict that Leverkusen will come out as champions even though the next match will not be easy.

Atalanta cannot be underestimated because they managed to beat the favorite candidate to win as predicted by people. However, if I look at the consistency of both of them, I am more inclined to see a chance of winning for Leverkusen. However Leverkusen have a much bigger chance because they are really in the right moment now.

This is their first time reaching the finals of the Europa League, while Leverkusen lifted it once.

In my personal view, Marseille is not a tough opponent for Atalanta and thus, it seems to be a natural result that Atalanta managed to beat Marseille with such a big score. But, when comparing the quality of Atalanta with Bayer Leverkusen at this moment, I think Bayer Leverkusen remains a team that has a great chance to win in the final match of the European League. Because I think it's clear, this season Bayer Leverkusen really have a very good quality and also, if for example, in this moment Bayer Leverkusen play in the Champions League final against Real Madrid I personally believe Bayer Leverkusen will still have a good chance too. Thus, because at this moment Bayer Leverkusen will play in the Europa League final against Atalanta then of course, I personally will not doubt the quality of Bayer Leverkusen at this moment to get the trophy.

[Volgastallion]

What a game we just had yesterday between Leverkusen and Rome.... i was seeing the game and Leverkusen was super dominant in the first 30 minutes of the game and seems like they were in the obligation to score, while Rome was doing nothing and in the last stage of first half Rome found wayer in the desert with that silly penalty made by Tah.

In the end it was a fair qualy for Leverkusen they deserve to go into the final instead of Rome who do nothing.

[dezoel]

I definitely don't favor Leverkusen for many reasons if Leverkusen meets Liverpool in the final match. The Leverkusen vs Liverpool match is actually a very interesting match but what can we do if we fail to win it.

Atalanta may be different from Liverpool even though Atalanta was able to beat us. Looking ahead to the final match, Atalanta does not deserve to be considered a weak team, but because Leverkusen's game this season is quite brilliant and they qualified for the final round by beating AS Roma who are in a better position than Atalanta in Serie A, it is natural that many people make Leverkusen the favorite to win. European League this season.

After having hard and challenging season a team is having spot into final of the UEFA event with after beating few top teams in this event and in many other leagues are not deserved to be called weak side because it's never been easy to have spot here with many strong and quality teams were in competition for the title but just two are having spots as this is available for them only after their amazing performance and consistency.

We have many ups and downs for them as well with Atlanta beats Liverpool and Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen beats Roma and West Ham which are having strong squads and impressive record into their leagues now it's all on them who is going to play with better strategy and quality for the win of the title in this season.

[KTChampions]

Of course such a possibility exists, the question is what it is  
We will never know the exact numbers (since we have one unique event and there is no way to check it many times), so we can only make assumptions. Maybe I’m biased towards Roma, but I see them as a team that is a whole level lower than Bayer, that is, a score of 2-0 or 3-1 is what should be a natural outcome when playing in equal conditions (motivated team against motivated or unmotivated against unmotivated, etc.). In this case, I have no doubt about Bayer’s motivation - for them, the Europa League semi-final is not a routine (as for Real Champions League) but a great achievement and adrenaline, but I doubt Roma’s motivation - they understand their chances very well. Bayer won the game with Eintracht with a semi-reserve squad, which means that today they will play seriously and not wait until the 90 minutes are over.
In general, these are my thoughts and I, of course, could be wrong, but since Real won yesterday, I have free money and, as planned, I bet on Bayer to win with a handicap of -1.5 with odds of 2.35.

btw, how do you feel right now  ? I think you will be annoyed to see Leverkusen uncharacteristic performance with several big opportunities which they couldn't take advantage of properly and if we count the number of opportunities Leverkusen got around 4 times they failed to score.
this is why I always doubt strong teams that already have a higher aggregate score than their opponents and usually always embarrass their opponents by ending the match with a draw but still qualifying for the final round.
Leverkusen mistakes in this match were too emotional and often committed violations which resulted in Roma getting 2 penalty kicks.

result of 2-2 was the result that I previously predicted and even though I won my bet, I regretted it a little when I didn't enter the score prediction into the bet builder that I made and if I entered the prediction of 2-2 I would definitely get odds of around @10+

I'm totally ok  
I never place bets with odds less than 10 (even if I win a single bet with a lower odds, I subsequently bet all the money I won on the next outcome I like) so it’s normal for me to receive losing bets, it doesn’t surprise me at all. The whole question is about the value of the bet and the bet on Bayer was exactly that. After yesterday’s game, I was just convinced that I made the right choice, if there was an opportunity, I would have made this bet again, if we take away Roma’s incredible luck, then the game should have ended with the result I needed.

[SOKO-DEKE]

I think it is now easy to decide who the trophy fits on this season from what Leverkusen displayed yesterday, not many teams can do that and now I feel really bad for myself not watching the game live. My bet will be on Leverkusen winning the finals, Atalanta is a strong match against Leverkusen not winning the finals but I believe Leverkusen are much entitled to beat Atalanta and secure the trophy. If comparing Atalanta - Liverpool, I also believe putting Leverkusen up against Liverpool will surely be an easy win for Leverkusen.

Yes, it may seem easy to predict the final winner of the trophy based on these two teams performances if we compare them, but I don't think it will be that easy. Even Bayer Leverkusen will win the Europa trophy at last there will surely be a challenges. Atalanta is not as strong as Leverkusen, but it is final, and each team will be well prepared with the aim of winning the trophy. But let us know that Atlanta is not that bad, and we are aware that Atalanta was a team that disqualified Liverpool in the competition, which means Atlanta is not that weak to win the trophy too. From my observations, Leverkusen is the favourite team to win the trophy, but the final is not something we can easily decide because the final is all about experience and tactics of playing. When teams have experienced players, I think the team can find its way out in the final.

[Asiska02]

well, that's what I mean as I said above, if Xabi strategy pattern is to choose to provide a safe performance to maintain the points that Leverkusen has so that every Leverkusen match will definitely always get satisfactory results, even though sometimes it only ends in a draw, but at least Leverkusen really cares about it maintain consistency.

And although Roma was very close to this, they could not do it. For me, Real and Bayer have different playing styles, but I would like to watch the match between these teams to understand how strong Bayer is now.

After Roma was leading with two goals, at some point I gave up that the unbeaten run of Bayern Leverkusen will come to an end but they can still qualify for the final. Even after they equalized one goal, I was still doubtful of them scoring the second goal because they can’t always be scoring in the final minutes of the game. I was in shock when they equalized the goal to level the score, this doesn’t happen often but they keep making it happen and making us believe that everything is possible. For their match against Real Madrid, it will only be if they win the Europa League title and Real Madrid wins the Champions League title too, they will meet in club World Cup to know the club that is better in quality and style of play.

This is their first time reaching the finals of the Europa League, while Leverkusen lifted it once.

I don't think so,  Leverkusen are up to their game, having come this far despite the hard phases of the league and into the finals which they would have to sum up all their hard work by winning the trophy, I bet they would not dare to lose that match. I'm not saying it will be a very easy win, finals of every league is always tough so we expect an intense match but undoubtedly Leverkusen are to be the champions of the UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season.

Bayer Leverkusen set a European record with a 49-match unbeaten streak. Xabi Alonso and his team really deserve appreciation. He doesn't have a team full of stars, but he manages to get the most out of the squad he has. They have been unbeaten for almost a year. In yesterday's match, they got a draw with a last minute goal and broke the record. Stanišić's goal was also great. In the last minute of the game, he made a great dribble inside the penalty area and coolly scored the finish. I hope they win the cup and crown this series with a happy ending.

[execijutiere]

Atalanta didn't win the first match away from home, but they had a great chance to pass the round with a draw there.Yesterday, they beat their opponent 3-0 at home and managed to pass the round and write their name in the final.They didn't dominate the match compared to their opponent, but they showed their experience in the goal positions they found.In this way, they defeated their opponent and matched with Leverkusen in the final.I don't think they will win the cup because there are few teams that can stop Leverkusen at the moment.

But I still think that they will be able to win both the finals.

It seems very easy for Leverkusen to get 2 titles in this competition because that is Leverkusen's goal this season.
Competing against Atalanta in the final round will be a big match that is very exciting for us to watch and I will bet on Leverkusen winning without any doubt because in this final round it will be very clear which team has a big chance of getting the title.
Even though Leverkusen will get the title, Atalanta will definitely not let Leverkusen easily get the UEL title because Atalanta also definitely wants the UEL title to get a ticket to the UCL next season and will accept that Roma will shift their position.

Latest update, Atalanta managed to beat Roma in yesterday's match and do you know what this means?
Yes, that's right, Atalanta is really scary and can provide a big surprise in the final round.
It's true that we can't match the performances in the Series A and UEL matches, but yesterday's match can be proof that Atalanta has a really stable performance even though they are under pressure from the UEL match schedule, but Atalanta managed to secure its position.
Atalanta's strategy this season is really very good, being able to maintain consistency, be very strong and have enthusiasm with very definite goals.
