UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Altryist]

Manchester united really did well yesterday and I was kinda surprised because what they normally do this period is draw the first leg and then come back the second leg and defeat there opponent but yesterday own was a different case and out of all the match they have played in the Europa league I think yesterday was the easiest one for them, I mean they played and win without much stress. Athletic Bilbao was the team in the Europa most people were thinking is the strongest but then that steeze has been reduced and even without red card Manchester united would have still win them and it appears that two England team will be playing the finals and Tottenham Hotspur always beat Manchester whether inform or not but I hope they don't spoil Manchester unbeaten record in the Europa this season.

I'm not sure Manchester United would have been able to beat Athletic Bilbao without Vivian's red card, before that Athletic Bilbao were in complete control of the game, after that everything fell apart. And now it's almost certain that everything is over for Bilbao in the LE, they won't be able to win back 3 goals away, and it looks like the Europa League final will be English, but whoever wins the final, I think it will be very difficult for them to play in the CL in this state.

Totthenham beat Bodo 3-1 at home and managed to take a big advantage. I can't say that Bodo made it through because I think it's difficult to know how dangerous Bodo are and what they can do. They eliminated Lazio and they can also eliminate Tottenham. Bodo had more possession in the match even though it was away. I think he will win the home game but I don't know if it will be enough.

That game yesterday was very interesting to watch, though I was very late to the game, i meet the game at the 80th minute when Manchester united had already secured 3 goals and no reply from Athletic Club, just then I visited my whale casino account and discovered I was given a free bet to bet on any sports game, seeing how good Manchester united play, I began to nurse the believe that they will secure another goals before the match will end, so I was going to bet on them to score another goal.. 😁

But all the same, good games from Manchester united in the Europa league, how i wish they can replicate this same performance in the premier league.

I'm just like you who was late to watch the Bilbao match. Apart from not being a favorite team, the desire to watch was because of Bilbao not because of Manchester United.
United's game is good, I admit that and very different from their game in the Premier League. If the final scenario is Manchester United vs Tottenham, then I will support and bet on Tottenham.

Tottenham played a good match last night and managed to gain a solid advantage for the return leg. A 3-1 lead is a good cushion, and they need to maintain it if they want to reach the final. Bodo/Glimt is a tough opponent, but I don’t think they’ll be able to overturn the result.
Manchester United also crushed Athletic Club 3-0 and have pretty much secured their spot in the final.
If both English teams reach the Europa League final, England will have six teams in the Champions League next year. An incredible achievement.

The way Athletic Bilbao lost last night was a huge surprise honestly. Vivian just killed the game for his team.    That was so unnecessary foul in the penalty area. It wasn't worth getting a red card.

Tottenham won easier than I thought. They played better than Lazio against Bodø/Glimt that's why though. It looks like we are going to have a Manchester United - Tottenham finale. 2 Premier League bottlers this season qualifying for the finale here, interesting.

The English teams took advantage of their opponents weaknesses and humiliated them without reserve. Both teams are considered the worst in EPL due to their poor performance this season, but they were able to win their matches yesterday. This shows that Tottenham and United will be the clubs in the finals from what played out yesterday.

However, United qualification to the finals is sure and Tottenham needs to seal up their qualifications in the second leg by winning Bodo away from home, because Bodo might prove to be tough when playing at home.

I don't think that we can have six clubs going to UCL next season even if an English club wins Europa because, it's only five teams maximum and that's also based on country league performance.

on one hand the red card was a hard blow for Bilbao so that it made their plans fall apart, but unfortunately Bilbao also had to let their goal be bombarded with three goals and that made it even more difficult for them in the competition. Manchester United were certainly very happy with the result and surprised people, because United were not favored at all in that match. Leg 2 will be easy for Amorim's troops because they already have a lot of capital and I am optimistic about their chances of advancing to the final round.

It only took half a round for Manchester United to bombard Bilbao's goal in the first leg so that the mentality and spirit of the Bilbao players became very chaotic, especially with the departure of one of the players due to a red card in the first half so that it made Bilbao play with instability. I also hope Manchester United does not make such a fatal mistake in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals because Manchester United is one step away from being in the Europa League final this season.

[Alpha Marine]

The red card received by Dani Vivian in the 33rd minute made the match lopsided, Bilbao were increasingly under pressure because they were outnumbered and had difficulty keeping up with Man United who were increasingly free to control the match.

I don't think that should have been a red card. If the last man commits a foul inside the box, it should be a penalty and a yellow card, but if it were outside the box, then it should be a red card. It should only be a red card and a penalty when the challenge would have been a red card regardless of where it happened on the pitch, last man or not.
To make things more interesting, there was a handball by Garnarcho that happened in the build-up of the penalty. That should have cancelled the foul entirely, but it was not called.

That's football for you, though. You can prepare all you want and be ready as you can be, but one bad decision can ruin your whole plans.

When I watched how they won last night, I thought MU should have stepped into the final. They get big wins away, now they only need a draw, or under 2-goal loss to step it. I thought it was not hard when playing it on Old Trafford, because they have benefited from the Fans. Amorim's ambition to step into Champions League qualification next session almost became a happen. And maybe the All England final could happen at Stadion San Mamés Bilbao, only if MU and Tottenham did not make a mistake or blunder, both just need the "parking bus" strategy to make it happen.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: Manchester United is destined to win this season's UEFA Europa League trophy, and there's nothing Athletic Bilbao, Tottenham Hotspur, or Bodø/Glimt can do to stop Manchester United from winning the UEFA Europa League trophy this season. With the number of goals Manchester United was able to score at San Mamés, I don't see Athletic Bilbao getting through to the UEFA Europa League final. Even though Athletic Bilbao beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi finals, it won't be up to a 3-goal difference, so automatically Manchester United has already qualified for the UEFA Europa League final.

This game is a very crucial game and the ref should have only given the penalty and maybe a yellow card not a red, see how messy the outcome of the game was, it killed the morela of the host team which wasn't suppose to be at least a yellow card. If Manchester United was too good they would have gotten more than the 3 goals in that encounter but I feel the return leg will be different from what we witness. The Lyon game I don't want to say but that red card call was right to me but this very one I don't agree to it, the Red Devils may have their way but I believe Athletic Bilbao will bounce back. They were frustrated and if not for the control of the players it would have resulted to something different but that 3 goals will mount enough pressure on Amorim's men next week.

A red card is knew thing that distabilizes any team, Bilbao gave up after that card they got and united was able to capitalize on that weakness. I wasn't expecting them to beat bilbao so easily but it seems they are focused on winning the Europa this season. It was a nice performance from Fernandez, he was able to score two goals  in first half. Manchester united still needs more points to make it to the second position. Let's see if they can make it.

When it comes to Europa League Manchester United is always very much inform and they play very well they may not perform well in the premier league but they always do in the Europa, they have a bigger chance of winning the Europa League this season all they need to do is to put in more effort and I believe if they do nothing can stop them from lifting the trophy, I know right now they don't care about the premier league anymore because Liverpool are the team that will lift it and there's nothing anyone can do about it and they are down the table so they really don't care all they want right now is so they won't get relegated from the premier league next season and to win the Europa League title this season this is just there target for now and I believe they can achieve it.
Manchester United really need to work on there self more because they are not the Manchester United I use to know, they need to come back to their form self the way they where when Sir Alex Ferguson was coaching them.

How do you mean is going to be difficult for whoever that wins the final to play in the UEFA champions league? Are you saying this due to thier poor performance this season? If so i think you must be very much mistaken because manchester united is already making preparation of signing new players this summer, qualifying for champions league next season is even going to motivate them to sign more capable players, because they wouldn't want to undergo this challenges that they went through this  season, though I don't know about tottenham hotspur, but I'm pretty sure that they are also making thier plans.

[Distraction]

Luck was on Manchester United's side yesterday.    Athletic Bilbao wasted important chances before the red card. They had a potential for a comeback. But that stupid mistake brought their end - in the stage completely I mean.

As of now it doesn't look likely for the Spanish team to recover from this. Manchester United are better in the EL compared to the PL. They wouldn't lose this advantage that easy. Tottenham are about to be their opponent if Bodø/Glimt don't make history from here...

Amorim really shifted their focus to the UEL after losing hope in the Premier League, they are still the only team that is still unbeaten until the semi-finals.
The second leg is hopeless for Bilbao as it is highly unlikely they will be able to score 4 goals without reply at Old Trafford.

Bilbao didn't put up much of a challenge and that was very disappointing, based on their position and the fact that it's the Europa league Manchester united wasn't supposed to defeat them that easily...a lot of us assumed they might even win but they ended up not scoring even a single goal.. After the first goal scored by casemiro Bilbao got a red card and it turned everything around, they didn't have the energy to push forward in the game..all the same even without the card united would have still won the game because they are determined to, kudos to them.

Very tempting odds my friend.
I like the way you take risks but are you betting parlay or single bet? personally I probably wouldn't put them together as a parlay, the reason being that Spurs vs Bodo could be a bust anyway Spurs are playing at home and there is no reason for them to lose but I tend to think it will be a draw, on the other hand I support your hunch about Bilbao and Man Utd, I am pretty sure Bilbao will win this first leg.

I made a parlay bet, but unfortunately Bilbao lost Dani Vivian to a red card. This gives Man United a great chance to win the first leg. And for the Spurs match, I initially believed that Bodø/Glimt was always a surprising team that could always beat stronger teams. But somehow Bodø/Glimt mentality was different against Tottenham. And now Spurs are 2 points ahead. While Bodø/Glimt have not been able to score.

Either parlay or single the result is still the same my friend.  Bilbao mistake was losing one player in the first half and this encouraged Man Utd to continue scoring goals, I didn't expect Man Utd to be that aggressive in san memes. 3 points are too far to be pursued by Bilbao at Old Trafford later, maybe it's worth saying that the red devils will advance to the final. On the other hand, Spurs still prove themselves to be one of the strong teams by winning the match 3-1 over Bodo but I still doubt their qualification to the final considering there is a 2nd le and Bodo is very good at playing at home.

I think everyone thinks like you. Because I think the same way. I couldn't understand how the referee gave a red card for that move, most likely no one could understand, there was no hit, nothing that could injure the player, but he showed a red card directly.
With this red card, the fate of a team was determined.

I have the same thought, and I am pretty sure that Man United will win the Europa League trophy because they are ready for that one thing. Man United are indeed bad in the domestic league, but not in the Europa League, instead they play consistently. I think Man United seems to have found a way to the final, they are already leading 3-0, and they will have an advantage in the second leg because they will be playing at home. Man United might meet Tottenham, but that's not a big problem because Man United will also crush them.

Man United and Tottenham really didn't disappoint us when they played in the Europa League. they seem to be a different team when they play in the European League. Their performance is better than when they played in the domestic league. I am also very happy because my bets were all successful. And actually Man United is already at a fairly safe point. Successfully winning by 3 goals in the first leg is the same as securing a place in the final. And actually Tottenham also did the same thing. And yes, it looks like the final will bring together Man United and Tottenham. And in this case we can clearly favorite Man United. Although in reality it might not be that easy.

[Rruchi man]

A disappointing result for Bilbao in this game because there was too much expectations on them but I think that the red card in the first half contributed to this lose but I expected Bilbao to manage the situation and score at least a goal but they ended up with out scoring a goal

Not being able to score a goal is perhaps what will make their comeback harder. Manchester United did not have the home advantage, but they were able to score three goals. Imagine how many goals they will score when they now play at Old Trafford.

Impressive performance from Manchester United, but they should be cautious in the second round; a comeback is still possible.

but only I had the feeling that Manchester United was in difficulty in the previous matches, however then they managed to play a great match and turn the situation around, but I always have the strange feeling that there is something strange with this team, however if there were to be an all-English final, the English championship could bring 6 English teams to the champions league, incredible
