UEFA Europa League 2026/27 Season

[Nwadiche]

Brighton really messed up, i wasn't expecting this their scoreline with their position in Premier League table. I can't believe that upon all their performance in Premier league, coming to Europea conference and displayed this rubbish they just did yesterday. It seems this bookmakers are using this odds to deceived us, how can 17.50 played draw with 1.19 odds? The worst is they're the only clubs that played barren draw among all the matches that played yesterday i felt so bad because they're the one that cut my ticket, now they'll come to English football and show how strong they're by winning some big clubs in England.

[Tonimez]

I'm now expelling Milan from the title race of europa league. Look at how garbage they are. They absolutely dominated by Bournemouth. They do nothing the whole game with 0 goal attempts. We should expect nothing from them this year. They don't have good squad to compete in the european competition.

All of their players are bums. They can only competing for the UCL spot at the local league with this kind of team. People have to feel tired watching how they can't even do basic things in football. Bournemouth is fully outclassing him from the bottom to the top.

Their fans have to be realistic if having a team full of prems reject will never help them to win european trophy forever. Bournemouth is in another level in term of tactic, technique and physic.

EPL team seems winning europa league again.

I was surprised to see this scoreline and performance from AC Milan against Bournemouth. Ruben Amorim has got some more work to do in the team. I think that they undermined Bournemouth from the beginning which was why Bournemouth took them by surprise. Maigan already made 4 saves in 27 minutes before his red card while Gregorio was shielded completely for 90 minutes. Ruben Amorim needs a serious work on the defence line to minimise their errors leading to goals. AC Milan looked in form before this game and I'm sure no one expected them to loose 3:0.

Were the attackers all dumb because wtf. Well, Bournemouth had an outstanding night and deserved the win they got. I think they had a hard luck having their first keeper sent off, maybe the score could have been only 2  and the end of the game but it is what it is.

[AprilioMP]

Juventus, Leverkusen, Benfica, and Olympiacos are teams that, even as we reach Round 2, still deserve attention given their potential.
I think Leverkusen has yet to concede a goal and has scored 6 so far. Juventus has conceded 1 goal but has already scored 7.
Competition in the Europa League this season has been quite intense, and the results of the Round 3 matches are likely to make the competition even more exciting, although the outcomes will inevitably lead to changes in the teams’ standings.

They are a lot teams that usually play in the champions league but seeing them now on Europa League tells you a lot about how the competition is gonna be and that's why it's been fierce and has so many goals scored by the top teams. I believe as time goes the competition will be more difficult and probably goals will reduce but during this early stages it's all about winning your games and stacking up points so you can qualify with an easy pot during the next round.

As I mentioned earlier, there will be changes based on the results of Round 3—and indeed, that’s exactly what happened. Juventus was held to a draw by Rennes, forcing them to relinquish the top spot. Benfica, previously in second place, moved up to first as they continued their winning streak in the Europa League.
Bournemouth managed to defeat AC Milan, and Leverkusen also secured a victory.
AC Milan’s loss to Bournemouth further highlights their decline, considering they are a top-tier team when competing at the European level.

We scored through Ndidi in the final minute of the first half to take a 1-0 lead, but the side on the pitch started the second half very poorly.
Crystal Palace began the second half with such intense pressure that the score was leveled at 1-1 in no time. Just as it seemed that if things continued this way, Palace would find a second goal—they did. A day that had started well suddenly took a turn for the worse. Italiano realized his mistake and made immediate adjustments.
In the 73rd minute, we brought the score to 2-2 thanks to Olaitan.
Ümit Akdağ is clearly not match-fit. His challenge on his opponent was completely irrational; having already been booked, he should have exercised more caution, yet he lunged into a flying tackle that nearly resulted in an injury to his opponent. The referee issued a straight red card. We might have even won the match, but we were forced to play the final 20 minutes with 10 men.
Nevertheless, we have secured 7 points so far, but the 2 points dropped in this match were the result of Italiano implementing the wrong rotations at the wrong time.

[Agbam]

Two straight losses in the Europa League and no goals scored yet. Losing 2:0 to Benfica who were not even doing so well and now to Bournemouth 3:0 this is a big slap on Milan and Amorim.

Ruben Amorim is still not the good manager until the end of the season, the up n downs of Milan’s form is worrisome.

What’s with all the wrong stats that some of you post here, even if you haven’t been following Milan matches you definitely can just check their stats from football platforms. You just spread a misinformation about the club.

Milan haven’t lost two times straight they have indeed lost twice in the Europa league but in between this win they have won 4-0 at away to Salzburg and that also means your claim of them not scoring any yet is also false.

This might not be the perfect result but for now with his ok start to the Seria A life they are actually better than they were last season because they sit fourth already on the table and can only improve from here before the season ends.

Get your stats right mate

Oh yeah I forgot the Salzburg game where they were formidable but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re not yet in a good form, that’s why I said up and downs. Today they win, tomorrow they lose, the next they draw. There is no consistency in the team performances.

This is not a team that’ll win the Europa League, they need to first get game in order. I think last season they started better but fell off towards the end in their league games.

It was an unbelievable game, most people thought Bournemouth will receive a thrashing from Millan, but it was the other way round. I was somewhat disappointed, and surprised honestly, Milan couldn't even put up a good fight. Congrats to Bournemouth on their winning and moving to 3rd place—they actually haven't lost a single game in their last 3 games in Europa.

[kizilhare]

Beşiktaş started the match well, but had a poor start to the second half. Following some substitutions, they managed to bring the score to 2-2. Ümit Akdağ received a red card, marking a difficult beginning to his Beşiktaş career.
The next match will be an away game against Celtic. Celtic has yet to secure a win in the UEFA Europa League. I expect Beşiktaş to come away with at least one point from this away fixture; in fact, if Beşiktaş fields their full-strength squad, they could even secure a victory.

[Daniel91]

I see that many participants in this discussion are surprised by Milan's convincing defeat by Bournemouth. Ok, the red card for the Milan player and the extra player on the field certainly helped the Bournemouth players, but it seems to me that the strength of the English teams is greatly underestimated.
Yes, we always go for the so-called "big names" like Milan, Juve or Benfica among the favorites, but the fact is that English clubs have actually dominated European club competitions in recent seasons.
Simply put, the English league is too strong for the rest of Europe, so even weaker English clubs have dominated European club competitions.
Yesterday I watched the match between Dinamo and NEC and was honestly disappointed with the performance of the Croatian club.
Honestly, Dinamo got to 4 points in this competition with a lot of luck, because their goalkeeper was regularly their best player and the opposing teams missed great chances to score.
This time, Dinamo was unlucky and deservedly lost.
Considering the schedule until the end of this competition and the strength of the opponents, as well as the current form of the Dinamo team, I am not optimistic that Dinamo will advance to the knockout stage of the competition.

The game was actually quite unbelievable; I never believed that Bournemouth would beat AC Milan with such a huge number of goals. Though I think the red card made it easier for Bournemouth, even before that they were already putting in a massive performance from the beginning of the game.

The AC Milan goalkeeper just made everything worse in the first half; if not for that, it would have been more interesting. Kudos to Bournemouth for this amazing performance.

[len01]

I think that they undermined Bournemouth from the beginning which was why Bournemouth took them by surprise.

IMO, Milan's defeat wasn't because they underestimated Bournemouth, but quite the opposite. They were clearly worried and failed to come up with the right tactics. Just look at how Bournemouth kept putting them under pressure until Maignan lost his temper and had to leave the pitch after receiving a red card. What Maignan did was really stupid. He is the captain and should have been able to control his emotions better. In the end, he only ended up hurting his own team.

BTW, I had a parlay at 5.6 odds, and Maignan ruined my bet.

Honestly, I don't see the reason why Maignan had to kill the game with what he did. I was expecting an interesting match because it was clear in the beginning of the game that Bournemouth was a good match for Milan but after that red card, the game became one sided. Bournemouth used the red opportunity to outplay and disgrace Milan. That serves them right. Is it true that, these average teams in England are far better than some big teams in other leagues?

It’s a tight game right now at Allianz Stadium. The score is 1-1 as the match approaches the 35th minute.
Just 15 minutes in, two goals have been scored, and there are still signs that both teams will score again.
The 1.60 odds are too tempting for bettors to back Juventus and suggest that Rennes is too easy to beat. Hopefully, those who bet on the 1.60 odds won’t regret it, as Rennes is still strong enough to hold off Juventus. Rennes has also been very aggressive in taking shots on Juventus’s goal.

Juventus has lost the first half 1:2 to Rennes which is unexpected but I hope they will return for second half and equalise the score because if they lose that will be a huge blow to them and whoever would risk Rennes to win will be smiling with the big odd given to them. Juventus lost their Serie A match against Lazio and I was thinking maybe they did so in order to prepare against Rennes in the Europa League but from what I'm seeing, they didn't prepare for this match and they aren't even playing to expectations of fans and those who trust them in their bets. All though they might return for the second half and pull out a comeback so we shouldn't conclude yet.

Juventus was the favorite in this match, with odds that were significantly higher than those for Rennes.
Juventus did manage to thwart Rennes’ chances of winning when Woltemade scored the equalizer, tying the game at 2-2 after it had been 1-2, but the final score showed that Rennes could disprove the notion that they are a weak team to be taken lightly.
Domestic leagues are certainly different from competitions like the UEFA Europa League, and Juventus is among the teams considered favorites to win this tournament, alongside others such as Leverkusen.

Brighton really messed up, i wasn't expecting this their scoreline with their position in Premier League table. I can't believe that upon all their performance in Premier league, coming to Europea conference and displayed this rubbish they just did yesterday. It seems this bookmakers are using this odds to deceived us, how can 17.50 played draw with 1.19 odds? The worst is they're the only clubs that played barren draw among all the matches that played yesterday i felt so bad because they're the one that cut my ticket, now they'll come to English football and show how strong they're by winning some big clubs in England.

Brighton displayed a disappointing performance in yesterday's game and that was the least expected outcome anyone could have imagined. I would lucky not to place a bet on any game yesterday because I would have lost on this one, my predictions would have being that Brighton scores over 2.5 goals and that would have being a total loss.

Even with Crystal Palace, playing 2-2 against Besiktas was also another shocker too. The only Premier league team that surprised me was Bournemouth playing 3-0 against AC Milan, a team that I had predicted would possibly win the Europa league this season.

That was the Conference League, this thread belongs to the Europa League specifically, which Brighton isn't participating in.
Fortunately, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth didn't do badly in the Europa League. Bournemouth won AC Milan, Crystal Palace got a draw against Beşiktaş J.K. Otherwise all Premier League teams will be bantered for not having a good performance outside in Europe stage.

A shocking result but I think Juventus should be proud of it considering how bad they are at the moment. One thing I noticed with Spalleti is that he's probably yet to discover his best team, all I see is trial and error. Aside his own personal mistake, Kolo Muani is adding to his problem to make things worse. I think what happened to him in the world cup final against Argentina is still affecting him and that's why he's been unstable every time he's playing. Juventus could have actually bought a whole better midfield with the money they spent on bringing him. That dude unfortunately seems irrecoverable.

Maignan ruined the game for Milan. Milan would have found a way to comeback in the game if not for the red card that destabilized the game and made it one sided. Bournemouth utilized their opportunity to the maximum and won with a wide margin in all aspect of the game. Bournemouth now has an unbeaten record in the Europa. A total of 9 goals in 3 games. It is going be big season for Bournemouth if they keep up the pace.

[xzone]

Beşiktaş started the match well, but had a poor start to the second half. Following some substitutions, they managed to bring the score to 2-2. Ümit Akdağ received a red card, marking a difficult beginning to his Beşiktaş career.
The next match will be an away game against Celtic. Celtic has yet to secure a win in the UEFA Europa League. I expect Beşiktaş to come away with at least one point from this away fixture; in fact, if Beşiktaş fields their full-strength squad, they could even secure a victory.

I think Beşiktaş could have won this match. Looking at the on-field struggle, especially in the first half, Beşiktaş was more effective; if they had scored an earlier goal, perhaps everything could have been different. They struggled a lot in the first part of the second half; Crystal Palace played very offensively and scored the goals.

If it weren't for the red card, Beşiktaş could have won this match. But once the team is down to 10 men, they don't have many chances; in teams of similar strength, one missing player creates a huge disadvantage

[Altryist]

Maignan ruined the game for Milan. Milan would have found a way to comeback in the game if not for the red card that destabilized the game and made it one sided. Bournemouth utilized their opportunity to the maximum and won with a wide margin in all aspect of the game. Bournemouth now has an unbeaten record in the Europa. A total of 9 goals in 3 games. It is going be big season for Bournemouth if they keep up the pace.

Maignan definitely let his team down, he was far too aggressive in his challenge against a Bournemouth player. Just because you’re inside the goalkeeper’s area doesn’t mean you’re allowed to push an opponent in the face with your hands. But look at it from the other side, Bournemouth were already leading 1–0, and they’re a team that defends very well, so what Maignan did essentially cost Milan any chance of equalizing and picking up at least a point from this match, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Milan would have been able to turn things around if it hadn’t been for the red card.

[X-ray]

I'm now expelling Milan from the title race of europa league. Look at how garbage they are. They absolutely dominated by Bournemouth. They do nothing the whole game with 0 goal attempts. We should expect nothing from them this year. They don't have good squad to compete in the european competition.

All of their players are bums. They can only competing for the UCL spot at the local league with this kind of team. People have to feel tired watching how they can't even do basic things in football. Bournemouth is fully outclassing him from the bottom to the top.

Their fans have to be realistic if having a team full of prems reject will never help them to win european trophy forever. Bournemouth is in another level in term of tactic, technique and physic.

EPL team seems winning europa league again.

I believe Amorim has limitation to fix it. His team won't hand him more money to buy better defenders, and they must have done the rest of season with the available defenders. Beside Milan's keeper, their defenders must be blamed too.

Indiscipline defense become the reason why they're so bad, but their attackers were also deserve the blame because 0 goal attempts against a team that placed at 14th at EPL is embarrassment.

It was an unbelievable game, most people thought Bournemouth will receive a thrashing from Millan, but it was the other way round. I was somewhat disappointed, and surprised honestly, Milan couldn't even put up a good fight. Congrats to Bournemouth on their winning and moving to 3rd place—they actually haven't lost a single game in their last 3 games in Europa.

0 goal attempts clearly explained that even Milan is not even in the same level of low table team of EPL. I think europa league is gonna be from EPL. We will have EPL clubs to b2b champion three times in a row.

If Milan can't put a fight to Bournemouth, i don't think even Juventus can do that. I mean the power gap between one to another serie a team is so thin.

Red cards have always been a very easy way to get a win in a game, but I don't know why most teams find it difficult to utilize them. The advantage is always clear, because there is no way you would compare ten players with eleven players, yet some teams keep on playing like they are equal. It makes no sense at all.

Just imagine the kind of performance Bournemouth put in yesterday's game; it was completely something else from them, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
