Topic: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season - page 2. (Read 49767 times)

Manchester United played in the UCL last season and look how badly they performed. This season they will appear in the European league and I hope they can be a little better than the previous season. I think for now United is worthy to play in UEL. At least they got through the group phase and played in the quarterfinals or even the semifinals.

Dortmund are playing very well this season and I think they deserve to play in the final. Dortmund beat several strong teams such as AC Milan, PSV, Atletico Madrid and PSG to reach the final. Maybe they are not as strong as Munich or even City but Dortmund are playing extraordinary and could give a surprise tonight.

Hahaha the rules in competitions like this have been around for long time same as the winner of the FA Cup getting a ticket to the European League, of course this is not about performance in the domestic league because competitions like the FA Cup and also the Premier League are important competitions Also.
Manchester United luck should be way for them to work well in preparing for next season, if they continue to perform poorly and are eliminated in the Europa League next season then it is clear that they are team that really cannot be relied on.
But it is still the end of the season and there is plenty of time for Manchester United to start correcting any mistakes and strengthening the composition of players in order to have performance capable of competing next season.

Nothing is impossible, just look like in the UCL, Dortmund were very lucky to reach the final and it was all because they had opponents they could beat even though Dortmund themselves were not strong team.
Something similar could happen to Manchester Uniter if they are lucky and only get opponents they feel they can beat, but opportunities like this are not easy to get, we see how things develop next season.

I don't think it's a shameful result at all, because I think 1 defeat doesn't erase what they have shown this season. They have proven that they are a team that can also win the Bundesliga title and even that without losing, although in the end they could not maintain their unbeaten record because they had to lose to Atalanta, but that should not embarrass them.

I feel that what they have achieved this season is more than enough, they performed extraordinary and they won the league title and domestic competition and that is not just one number. Xabi really succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to achieve something that they had been very difficult to achieve. Next season will be a tough challenge for them, because they have to maintain what they achieved this season. And usually maintaining will be more difficult than starting something. They have to prove that they are consistent enough to maintain their performance.

Xabi Alonso and his entire squad doesn't run from fight, rather they embraced them but this one was just out of the picture. The Europa League final was definitely tough and only the best was able to accumulate winning points and they're now Europa League title champion. Bayer Leverkusen maintain an unbeaten run in bundesliga but couldn't make it al complete after their defeats against Atalanta in the Europa League final. This was humiliating result on Atalanta ends.

The win against Liverpool seemed to be a turning point for Atalanta. It gave them a confidence booster that made them having strong performances in the remaining games of the season. Their effective attacks and strong defense were really being tested successfully. Gasperini made the team know their own capability to beat any team.

Leverkusen put themself under pressure by the ambition of chasing unbeaten record. It took toll on them making it hard to have a proper preparation for the climax of the season. Every thing went out of control after conceding 2 goals in 25 minutes. That was not a common game where they can make a comeback with late goals, and they have to accept the fact that they were lost because of themself.

Exactly what I think aswell, it was never a game that promise to be easy and Leverkusen should have never taught they were going to be handed the trophy just like that, they had all the odds in their favour but they still needed to show how well they were deserving of the trophy by winning that particular game and that's why it's never a good idea to underestimate any team especially if they have gotten to the finals.

Atlanta winning Liverpool at some point in the league was supposed to be a lesson to Leverkusen not to have it lightly will with them because they were looking like they will not cease to utilize every privilege and opportunity they have got if they eventually get one just like they did against Liverpool even with the whole strength exhibited by Liverpool then in the Europa and their domestic league aswell, Leverkusen had a tough task ahead but it appears they weren't ready for it and so they lost the game to Atlanta who then became the winners of the league title.

One thing I've got to understand is that for a team to have been able to get to a finals of any game, they are definitely not to be underestimated because they have actually thrived enough to be able to have made it to that point and so they should be taken seriously even if they look in experienced with a finals of a particular league game, they still shouldn't be seen as a team that cannot win the game became at that point they will put in their very best and make sure they win if the opportunity comes.

There are times when any team will still be grateful to be able to play in the European league, including Manchester United. They almost didn't get anything after only finishing in 8th place in the domestic league and they deserved everything after experiencing such a dark season in the domestic league. What happens if they don't win a single European competition and that will make the perception of the Red Devils even lower considering that last season they were able to go to the Champions League.

If they don't win, of course Manchester United will only be able to enjoy a boring game in the domestic league and their return to the European league will make the competition even more colorful. I think Manchester United must be able to prove their capacity in this competition and at least I want to see them progress to the quarter-finals next season. However, if they succeed in freezing public expectations and even reaching the final round, it will be an extraordinary achievement whether they win or not.

It is not like Gasperini knew something that nobody else knew, Xabis team did not lose for 52 total games this year, 51 of them in a row. Meaning that if you say that Gasperini knew what to do, you would be practically saying no other team they faced ever knew what to do and only Gasperini did. That is not the case if you ask me, it's football, things like this happens, we could have seen Leverkusen lose to one of the relegated teams and not lose ever again too, does that mean the team relegated knew what others didn't?

Atalanta didn't become league champions, does that mean Gasperini only understands Xabi but doesn't know anything about other managers? I feel like it was just one game, and if we play it 10 more times, maybe Leverkusen gets a 50%+ win rate, but it's just one game and this is what happened.

Every team of course has a time  to be down, we can see how this season Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Barcelona actually fell after previously we knew the team as a great team, the decline of a team certainly has a strong reason behind it just like what happens to Manchester United now, I think as a fan at this time you have to keep standing tall and continue to support your favorite team In order to stay motivated and also to be able to rise as soon as possible later, Manchester United deteriorating performance in recent seasons certainly makes some fans begin to doubt their capacity next season to compete in the Europa League.

Competing in the Europa League is not an easy thing but still Manchester United can do if indeed they can play like when they eliminated Liverpool and Manchester City from the FA Championship this season, but the question now is Ten Hag, whether he will be able to improve and maintain the consistency of their game next season or we will see Manchester United play like this season whose performance is up and down.

There's no need to be fed up with this, mate, because whatever the result and wherever the Manchester United team will compete next season apart from the Premier League, they must still enjoy it and run it well. And as a fan of the team you yourself also have to be more optimistic about the team's performance next season because every season there will definitely be differences so you don't need to remember the things that happened this season to imagine them again next season.

Manchester United qualified for the Europa League by defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup. However, it is difficult to say how well they will perform in the next season and what their results will be, but if they bring good players to their team, then we may see a change in the game. However, if coach Ten Haag can make good moves and bring in stars for next season, surely the club will be on the good side again. As we have seen earlier Manchester United was a much more successful and stronger team than Manchester City but they have weakened a lot in the interim. But my hope is that for next season if they spend good money and players can travel to their team then they will definitely be able to produce good results in the Europa League. I hope that if the managers at Manchester United can make good moves and spend money to bring in stars to their squad then next season will definitely be something to think about positively.

We will never know what Man Utd will get in the next season at UEL because we cannot confirm who the new players will be and whether there will be a change of coach and in my opinion, from temporary speculation, Man Utd will retain Erik Ten Hag and can improve every line that is not working. productive, I'm sure Man Utd can get slightly better results.
This is all just temporary speculation which cannot provide guarantees but what is certain is that perhaps we have to remember that Man Utd was a big and very popular club in the past before Manchester City and that glory days could come at any time.
Trying to think positively about the results that Man Utd will get in the coming season.

What happened to Manchester United so far, of course, was very painful, when other teams that were previously only mediocre teams are now starting to target the championship trophy, while Manchester United, which has been a big team and full of a very long history of glory, actually began to lower their target level from championship trophy to qualify for the Europa League, Isn't it ridiculous enough?
For now it seems that Manchester United fans do not need to expect much from Ten Hag, even though he won the FA trophy this season, but next season it seems that Ten Hag will still not be able to lift Manchester United performance, because Manchester United current problem is not in their players, but rather in Ten Hag scheme and tactics of play which have been quite bad.

This season Manchester United has a pretty bad performance and was only able to end the season in the 8th place, but fortunately for them they can win the FA trophy and at least can qualify for the Europa League next season, although they have the opportunity to play in the Europa League next season, But if their performance is still like this season, then maybe their journey will not be too smooth and I am quite sure if Manchester United will not have a long journey in the Europa League next season.

That was their first defeat this season and of course there is no team in the world that is perfect without ever experiencing defeat during a season, it is only natural that they experience fatigue and lose focus because maintaining consistency so as not to lose is not easy, everything needs to be fought until achievement At that point where they have to give up and admit that Atalanta as a great team can beat them as a team that has not been defeated this season, Xabi Alonso has fought for that and that is not a disgrace.

The match is over and Atalanta has become champion in the UEL this season, it's time for Leverkusen to focus on next season. They still have a lot to prepare to be a great team again like this season, especially since Atalanta will play in the same competition as Leverkusen, namely in the UCL. next season, if there is another meeting, it will clearly be a meeting to avenge their defeat in yesterday's final match. Leverkusen is currently more focused on preparing themselves to make this team even better next season and appear consistently like this season to become a solid team. .

Seeing team like Manchester United celebrating qualifying for the UEFA Europa league competition always get me sick as a true Manchester United fan. Though been part of the team that will participate in the European competition next season is not a bad one for it is not easy because somany teams are wishing to be there also.
I believe Chelsea team and there fans will not be happy, just like you have said it is truly unimaginable, even winning Manchester City in the FA Cup final was still unimaginable.

They can take advantage of their only chance to be in the Europa League by successfully becoming champions in the FA Cup. something that I actually never imagined, because the opponent they faced was Manchester City, which is a better club than them this season, but they were able to answer all the doubts that came to them by successfully becoming champions in the FA Cup and winning a ticket to leave. to the Europa League next season.

In the Premier League they can't be relied on, because they appear so inconsistent, they keep getting bad results and even when they face clubs that are weaker than them, they have to lose. This was clearly work they had to complete quickly. The reason is that if they perform like this season next season, they will get the same results as this season and that is not satisfactory at all. This is a collective task to try to improve the performance of the Manchester United club.

Bayer Leverkusen's ambition to secure a treble was ended by their defeat in the Europa League final, but this setback doesn't disregard their standing as one of Europe's top clubs. Their  unbeaten run in all competitions explains their dominance, outdoing even some of the continent's big teams. Xabi Alonso's leadership has been key in Leverkusen's success, and his commitment to the club says well for their future strides.

 Looking ahead to next season, Leverkusen's focus will be on the Champions League, where they aim to face and conquer the best clubs in Europe. While the competition is fierce and features stronger opponents like Real Madrid and Manchester City, Leverkusen has proven they can hold their ground against top teams. Under Alonso's guidance, Leverkusen will sure  approach each match with determination and tactics, hoping to advance continually in the tournament.

 Despite the challenges ahead, Leverkusen's consistency and resilience proves that significant changes may not be necessary for the upcoming season. With Alonso at the managers stand and a buoyant squad capable of competing at the highest level, Leverkusen will definitely continue to strive, hoping to realize their aspirations of Champions League glory and complete their status as a powerhouse in European football.

Every good tactic has a way to solve it. That's the beauty of football. Gasperrini's strategy against Leverkusen was very effective. The reason is, he knows that the individual quality of the Leverkusen players is only mediocre, so implementing the highpress man to man marker strategy is very difficult for the Leverkusen players. However, the results would be different if Atalanta's opponents were of the same class as Real Madrid, which has players with more individual qualities.

Gasperini's strategy in the final match succeeded in making Xabi unable to move, this is the first time he has met a team with tactics like Atalanta from Leverkusen's 50 unbeaten matches. Meanwhile, Gasperini is “bored” against teams like Leverkusen in the domestic league. Gasperini really benefited because he already had a "solution" to Xabi's tactics, thanks to Inzaghi's (Inter) tactics being often defeated, a solution was found. because Xabi's tactics are "similar" to Inzaghi's tactics at Inter, even though Serie A is different from the Bundesliga, these tactics work well. This is what I see as why Leverkusen lost to Atalanta even though in terms of performance before the match Leverkusen was the favorite to win.

Yes, they failed to win the Treble winners this season because they had to lose in the final for the first time this season, however, this does not discourage Leverkusen and does not deny the fact that they are the best club in Europe with a long unbeaten record in all competitions, even surpassing elite clubs from other leagues and Xabi Alonso is still at Leverkusen for next season. Hopefully he can still show Leverkusen's best performance like this season and has the opportunity to win the treble winners next season, especially if Leverkusen can win the Champions League title, that is a very proud achievement, but seems impossible.

Because the Champions League is filled with the best elite clubs but Leverkusen can compete with the top clubs, I am very curious about how Leverkusen will perform there with the strategy that Xabi Alonso has, whether he can perform well there and what if this club meets one of the strong candidates. like Real Madrid or Manchester City or they have difficulty keeping up with the game there. The possibility that there will be changes for Leverkusen next season seems impossible if the club is able to survive with an unbeaten record in 2 seasons.

Manchester United appearance for UEFA Europe League season 2024/25 most luckiness after success winning FA Cup indeed finish outside of Europe League spot place. Manchester United had poor performed in domestic league for this season by finish on 8th standings position but winning FA Cup make Chelsea opportunity for playing in Europe League next season after finish on 6th position over. I don't know Premier League or FA regulation for giving the UEFA Europe League ticket, its seems not fair because any team had poor performance in domestic league and finish outside from Europe League spot but getting ticket after winning FA Cup trophy.

For next season, seems Manchester United performance as usually in this season and difficult for competing in domestic league and Europe League. If has opportunity qualify to 16 round I doubt with Manchester United opportunity lead to quarter final round if face the relegated teams from Champion League group phase.
