UEFA Europa League 2026/27 Season

[MAAManda]

I really liked the way Beşiktaş played last night. They gave their opponents almost no chances at all. Their opponents were weak, but still, Beşiktaş conceded almost no opportunities, constantly pressed high and kept their opponents pinned in their own half.
They won 3–0 very comfortably and in my opinion, they've already secured qualification. Since I don't expect a huge surprise, I want to congratulate Beşiktaş in advance.

That result isn't actually anything special, they played against a weak team & got the result they were expected to get. You're right that there won't be any surprises from that Lithuanian team, we might well see Besiktas keep a clean sheet across both legs. I think we can congratulate Besiktas early here, they’ve finally made it into the UEL.

[IceLincoln]

Beşiktaş won 3-0 and we can safely say they've secured their spot in the Europa League. They've now won 6 straight games without conceding a goal. All the fans will sleep soundly tonight. The score was great, but more importantly the performance was excellent. We've always talked about the finishing problems, they're gradually being resolved.

Italiano managed the team in such a way that you can even see the right back chasing goals up front. And we saw the result of that, Murillo scored.
Vlahovic came into the game in the last 30 mins, but by then the match had gotten very physical. That's why Beşiktaş had to slow down the tempo. I hope Trossard's injury isn't serious. The referee allowed too much rough play and just brushed it off with yellow cards.

Also, Amir's goal should've been allowed. The referee made a mistake there. Anyway, it's not that important for this round, but if this had happened during the league stage, it could've turned into a major scandal.


The other Turkish team Trabzonspor,lost at home. They signed Salah and flexed too much, but they're getting poor results since then. It might take them a long time to recover. In the meantime, they could drop down to the Conference League without even making it to the Europa League. Maybe that would actually be better for them, since the level of competition there seems more suited to them.

Besiktas are in a very good form and might even be the most in form Turkish team currently. With the way they set up and play, they have everything working out perfectly for them at the moment. They are definitely going to qualify from the Europa League playoffs, it’ll be a good reward for their efforts.
Trabzonspor had a bad game as they were not able to hold off Ferencvaros at home, the mountain becomes harder for them to climb now.

Truly back then, Mohamed Salah performance in Liverpool club has a good record that he has ever contributed  in the  progress of Liverpool club being able of lifting trophies with his fellows players, although just in these past season Mohamed Salah has reduced a little from his usual days back then but that will never make Mohamed Salah from doing what he knows best when the need comes, so if Mohamed Salah played his first time game in Trabzonspor club and still performing very well in the first game, it means that Mohamed Salah can still do more better than this as the we progress in  the season.

However, the level and expectations of Salah fans must also be able to adjust. Do not put a big hope can have an impact like in Liverpool, because we need to be realistic to see the situation and condition of The Trabzonspor club. The Format of the game, the coach, the players change everything. I can't even guarantee that Trabzonspor can go any further in the Europa League competition.

Salah is a player who has achieved great things at Liverpool. However, I think we shouldn't have very high expectations about him creating a similar impact at Trabzonspor. Because the other ten players at Liverpool are not the same as the other ten players at Trabzonspor. What makes a team a team and drives individual player performance forward is the team's overall performance. Of course, Mohamed Salah is a very good player, but he may not deliver the same extraordinary performances as at Liverpool. Nevertheless, it must be said that he is a very good transfer. He is very talented and can contribute a lot to Trabzonspor.

I disagree with your sentiment here bro, because besiktas only found it easy because of the opposition involved. They met a very weak team that would have still been trashed if they were up against Trabzonspor, so don't let the 3-0 scoreline decieve you to think that they are exceptionally good.
Ferencvaros vs Trabzonspor is still an open game that can still be won by any of this teams, so I don't believe that a 1-0 lead is a mountain to climb for trabzonspor. What they just need to do is to win 2-0 at away for them to progress, but it would not be an easy task because both teams are almost of the same strength.

You are obviously overrating Besiktas already, and because they defeated a very weak team in the Europa league does not mean that they are back to their days of glories. Remember that the season just started and there are many matches to go, besides, they have not even played strong sides like Galatasaray neither have they faced clubs from top leagues in the Europa. When their strength is truly tested, then we will know how prepared they are for the various competitions they are playing.

I agree, Salah was a great player for Liverpool, but mostly because he was part of a great team, which often dominated matches and gave Salah many opportunities to score goals.
Trabzonspor is not such a good team, and football is still a team game in which an individual cannot win alone, without the support of his teammates.
This was already shown in the match between Trabzonspor and Ferencváros, in which the Turkish team lost 1:0 at home and significantly reduced its chances of qualifying for the group stage of this competition.
So, if someone thought that bringing 1 superstar would revive the team, the club's management and management will, in my opinion, have to further strengthen the team if they want Trabzonspor to be competitive in both the domestic championship and European club competitions.
Of course, from the marketing side, the club will profit greatly from bringing Salah due to the increased interest of sponsors and fans, but there is no guarantee that it will bring the desired sporting results.

Everyone knows that a tree can not make a forest so there's no way signing any single player will be the direct ticket to success in any season because no single player can win the game without others assistance. When a good player is in a team with bad players, his quality is badly affected by the teammates input. Mohammed Salah is lucky to have been in the  midst of good players that's boosting his effort in every team. If he doesn't have good feeders that drop balls for him, how will he score more goals. He still has players like Paul Onuachu who would give him a great assist and they can pair up to lead the Trabzospor to a successful season.

There are many benefits of bringing Big names like Salah because it improves traffic and views. Upon how good Paul Onuachu is, he has not brought the interest of global fans to the team but just a single signing of Mohamed Salah has placed the Team in a higher esteem and the league has boosted more in addition to Osimhen's deal.

Since Beşiktaş holds the scoring advantage, their opponent must score goals in this match to overcome that disadvantage. Given that Zalgiris Kaunas has nothing to lose, they’ll take risks and that works in Beşiktaş’s favor. I think the difference in quality between the two teams will become apparent once again. Beşiktaş is far ahead of its opponent in terms of both gameplay and player caliber. We saw this in the first match as well. Since this is a rematch, I expect a fast-paced game with plenty of scoring opportunities. I think it will be an entertaining, high scoring match.

[jakdanyel]

It's time for the 2 Turkish teams in the qualifiers to finish this. Beşiktaş have a really easy work to do today. They already won 3-0 against a weak opponent. They must be just too bad to give it away from here. 

On the other hand, Trabzonspor don't have such advantage. It's 0-1 for them on aggregate for now. But it was really nice to see Salah showing a great effort in his last match. I hope he keeps that up tonight too to carry his team to league phase.

Don't be too fast in concluding on besiktas behalf because the football we all know has a way of presenting us with some unimaginable outcome at the end of it all, it has happened and can still happen to them.
Trabzonspor may not be at advantage to quality do to the mistake they have made before now and correcting it will be very difficult but can still make it if its there turn to come out, the presence of salah helped them alot in there last game and will continue helping them if he continues with same form as he is doing now for his new team.
Sarah had an excellent performance in there last game and will do more if the chance is given to him to showcase his true potentials.

Besiktas have an excellent chance of reaching the Europa League with a three-goal advantage. Anderlecht and OFI also have three-goal leads over their opponents. At the same time, we have already seen LASK come back from a four-goal deficit in the Champions League qualifiers. Such a comeback is very rare, so I think Besiktas, Anderlecht, and OFI will be able to qualify for the Europa League.

Besiktas are in a very good form and might even be the most in form Turkish team currently. With the way they set up and play, they have everything working out perfectly for them at the moment.

When their strength is truly tested, then we will know how prepared they are for the various competitions they are playing.

What is this days of glory you’re talking about with Besiktas, I didn’t know they have days of glory, it’s football game, the other team played well to get to this position of qualification, I wouldn’t completely agree that they are bad team, but I must confess I have never heard about this team FK Kauno, you will expect Besiktas to beat them on paper, on the field you still expect Besiktas to beat them, I’m seeing so many new teams that I don’t know nothing about, I’m scared of picking some of this teams in my gambling game, because they can come up with any surprise, we might see some debuting teams in this Europa League just like in the Champions League we have some debuting teams.

Beşiktaş lost 1-0 in this match, but qualified for the Europa League thanks to a 3-1 aggregate win. Anderlecht went 1-0 up against Kairat, then won 4-0 on aggregate, almost guaranteeing their place. OFI made it 2-0, making it 5-0 on aggregate. So the favorites managed to qualify for the Europa League without allowing any surprises. Only Beşiktaş lost their match here. In another ongoing match, another Turkish team, Trabzonspor, is playing with ten men after receiving a red card in the 13th minute and is trailing 1-0. Trabzonspor needs to score at least two goals to take the match to extra time. This is frankly almost impossible. We will see them relegated to the Conference League. Ferencváros remains in the Europa League after playing two good qualifying matches.

[kizilhare]

Both of our teams were defeated. Beşiktaş's decision to field a rotated squad contributed to this loss.
They took the field with the comfort of having won the first leg 3-0. Many players who had not played previously were included in the lineup, and a lack of cohesion among the players was evident. Nevertheless, Beşiktaş will continue their campaign in the UEFA Europa League.
This time, Trabzonspor was reduced to 10 men in the 14th minute after Malinovsky received a straight red card. With the score at 2-0, Cabral conceded a penalty and was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, leaving Trabzonspor with nine players on the pitch.
The penalty was converted, making the score 3-0. Ferencváros made it 4-0 in the 86th minute and won the match.
Trabzonspor will compete in the Conference League.
The real shock came after the match: Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke resigned.
I was shocked when I heard this news.

On the other hand, Trabzonspor don't have such advantage. It's 0-1 for them on aggregate for now. But it was really nice to see Salah showing a great effort in his last match. I hope he keeps that up tonight too to carry his team to league phase.

In the first match, Trabzonspor played well but had to lose due to bad luck. In this match, an early red card disrupted the balance of the game, and Trabzonspor, after receiving a second red card later, lost 4-0 and failed to qualify for the Europa League. Beşiktaş, on the other hand, played with the confidence gained from the first match and, despite losing 1-0, managed to qualify for the Europa League. One of the two Turkish teams continued in the Europa League, while the other was relegated to the Conference League.

Could it be that it was a bad luck for Trabzonspor in the both legs of the qualifiers or it was of their own making dew to poor performance that they lost in the matches.

Trabzonspor player was red carded in the first leg which influenced the outcome of that match and similar thing happened again in the second leg today with two players red carded therefore killing their any chance of them qualifying by any means.

[SUPERSAIAN]

After the defeat against Ferencvaros, Fatih Tekke, the Trabzonspor coach, resigned. He said he couldn't sleep soundly after such a defeat and offered his resignation. His words were excellent: "The defeats are mine, the victories are my players'." He wished them well. At least he's resigning honorably. What changes will happen at Trabzonspor after this? Perhaps the club will pressure him to continue.

I have forgotten the exact year but I remember that there was a time Besiktas was actually the way @obuoma complemented them. When I saw all those unfamiliar clubs on Europa I thought it would be a luck to all the familiar clubs since it could have been a very minor league they come from but how they're defeating this big teams is surprising, there was no way I could have picked FK Kauno Zalgiris to win any of there legs but they won Besiktas and loss on aggregate. A team that I had earlier saw a potential to quality was Trabzonspor but the team is on 4:0 lost.

The coach deserves to be given a second chance if he can bring a change into the team, his statement touched me cause he didn't blame nobody for the loss not even the players but himself, not all coaches will be this humble to accept the responsibility but he accepted and even praised his players. Perhaps his spirit blamed him for the loss that's why he couldn't sleep but if they think he can still do something to bring back the spark in the team then they should call him back instead of trying a new manager whom they are nit sure will bring a positive change into the team.
