🇪🇺_ UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season (⚽⚽)

[Sim_card]

Tottenham have been disappointing this season, they have experienced a very deep decline and are now at the bottom of the table. It's quite a shame because usually they can compete to compete in European competitions.

They are also playing, and they are already 4-2 behind Wolves. There is no hope considering the time is almost up. They have to improve to face next season.

The are declining in form gradually and that might be a problem for them to reach the finals in Europa League. United isn't left out after they were defeated today 4-1 by Newcastle. Are we sure that any of these two clubs will make it to the finals. However, you are not to use the performance of a club in her domestic league to judge the performance in European league.

Tottenham and MU really had a bad season in the Premier League. but yeah, that can't be a benchmark for judging these two teams in the European League. Because so far MU can still perform quite well in the European League. It's just that in the match against Lyon in the first leg yesterday we saw that MU was not able to play better than the home team. But MU also almost won if they weren't careless in the added time. So at least MU will most likely advance further in the European League. About Tottenham I'm not sure yet.

If Manchester United or Tottenham wins the Europa League and finishes outside the Premier League top 5, England could have 6 teams in the 2025-2026 Champions League.
In the Europa League, Tottenham and Man United are making noise, but we underestimated Bodo Glimt and Rangers.
The Rangers played 77 minutes with 10 men and still drew with Athletic Club and Bodø/Glimt with an early win against Lazio.
It looks like now all clubs have an equal chance of reaching the final

I agree on equal chance for most teams but not Lazio after falling two goals behind.
It was a real disappointment for Atheltic not to take advantage of the extra man they goat in the first leg. I still think they can do the job in the second leg.

Realistically speaking, with the exception of Inter/Bayern, we already know the 3 semi-finalists (Maaaybe Aston Villa has a sliver of a chance, but that's a big "maybe").
As for Bayern, I'm tempted to place a small bet on them qualifying. Yes, they lost the first leg, but the goal result is not always a fair representation of the game, as there's always some element of luck involved, and I feel that was the case for Bayer.
Despite the loss, they had a clear dominance, at least in terms of creating chances, they had twice as many shots on goal (20 Vs. Inter's 10). I'm aware that it could've been due to Inter taking a more defensive stance after taking the lead, but if Bayern could've created that many chances the first time around, they surely can do it again, meaning them winning is quite probable.
And since there is no away goal tie-breaker rule, even a modest 1-0 win would lead to extra time (and maybe a penalty shootout) where Bayern would have some psychological advantage.

The odds for Bayern to qualify are between x3.2-3.3 (depending on the site), so it seems a decent value.
Any thoughts on this?

I also slightly underestimated Bodø/Glimt. And unexpectedly they were even able to press Lazio's defense quite aggressively. And Lazio even had difficulty making a counterattack. With this I started to think too that all these teams have the same potential. And nothing can be underestimated at this stage. And regarding MU and Tottenham, they have to really fight hard so that one of them succeeds in the European league. Because that is their only chance to improve their reputation and also to get UCL tickets.

Their draw in the first leg at home to Frankfurt is a disadvantage, because now they have to play at Frankfurt's home ground with the same goal.

I'm not too sure about them even though the chance is still there. But we'll see if they can do enough to beat Frankfurt and qualify for the next round, or if they have to stop their journey in the Europa League this season. We'll see later,

Ah, ya Lazio... They make me mad.
Lazio has been on great form in the Europa League this season. If they get kicked out, it's a huge advantage to United.
Lazio are in serious trouble, I really hope Bodo can hold on in the 2nd leg; a team from Norway in the Europa League semi-final would be insane.
The cup I for the taken for who wants it the most and I pray and hope that is Manchester United.

Lazio was the top team during the group stage, I keep on wondering what could have happened to them to lose form this way. Lazio finished 1st in the group stage with only one defeat, I considered them as the favorite team to win the Europa League trophy, but I no longer consider them the favorite team after they failed to draw in the first leg.

Maybe Lazio will not disappoint their fans in the second leg. However, Manchester United is the team I prefer to lift the trophy as well, but I'm worried they'll be eliminated after what they did in the first leg, and Zirkzee will be out for the rest of the season.

[pawel7777]

I think Aston Villa deserve a lot of respect for today's game. They didn't qualify, they were losing 0-2 (1-5 on aggregate), but they quit - they did not. They scored 3 goals in the space of 23 minutes and caused some panic to PSG and their fans. They had a great chance to score another one and move the game to extra time, but it just wasn't meant to be. I think their fans will be pleased with them regardless.

I haven't seen Dortmund Vs Barcelona, I'm waiting for some decent highlights to be published. Has anyone watched it? Was Dortmund that good or Barcelona that bad? Or did Barcelona go easy on Borussia?

Baroni needs players with the heart of a lion and to play as one unit
When will we see players of this level wearing the Lazio shirt again?
I don't know how I can believe in this team anymore.

United absolutely need a buzzing atmosphere on Thursday and willing runners from wingbacks, midfielders, and attackers….everybody has to be spot-on.
This is the last chance to have a better season than the blue side of Manchester.... Let's get it.

I also slightly underestimated Bodø/Glimt. And unexpectedly they were even able to press Lazio's defense quite aggressively. And Lazio even had difficulty making a counterattack.

Because that is their only chance to improve their reputation and also to get UCL tickets.

I can understand if you underestimate Bodø/Glimt because Lazio is surely a more popular team. However, popularity doesn't guarantee anything when they are playing in the field. A team which can play more solidly and play with a confidence, they will win the match. It is what Bodø/Glimt did in the previous match. They totally dominated the match, they played aggressively, and they won the match. If they do the same way in the next Leg, I'm sure they will still dominate the match and they will qualify for the next round. Sure, this is quite surprising because Bodø/Glimt isn't the favorite team to play in semi-final. But if they can keep playing at this level, it is not impossible if they can reach the final round. 

[pawel7777]

So the semi-final pairs are as follows:



After PSG getting beaten by Aston Villa and after Arsenal demolishing Real Madrid in both games, I think the most likely final will be Barcelona Vs Arsenal.

It's a bit of a shame that Bayern dropped out. They fought a good fight tonight. Things looked bright when they took the lead after Harry Kane's goal, but they couldn't drive it till the end.
Still, advancing to the quarter finals should be considered a small success.

Exactly. Premier League is agreed to be a tough league compared to other leagues. A club that is performing at their worst in Premier League, can do much better against the team in other league when the face other.

Manchester United and Tottenham haven't been in their good form in premier League matches, but in Europa League we can admit their performance can take them to the finals of Europa if possible.

[ajiz138]

Will Manchester United get a win that can take them through to the next round? It's quite interesting to watch.

They are in a very bad state, even when they benched Onana who was considered a problem, they also still conceded a lot of goals with their second goalkeeper. That means they are in trouble overall. It will be interesting to see what they can do in this match.
