Liverpool been the favorite to win the Europa league title in the just concluded season has to be the highlight of the season, at the beginning even up to the mid season, there were a great level of certainties in the fact that Liverpool was going to win the league title after which Leverkusen was the next in line that got a good number of considerations too of possibly turning out the champions of the Europa league but then most interestingly came the surprise of the season.

AC Milan was eliminated from the champions league and they were then relegated to the Europa league which made most persons anticipated their chances because they were doing so well at the champions league before they got relegated, they were even behind PSG in their group and got relegated at a difference of a point or thereabouts, but then they weren't able to even do so well at the Europa even with the champions league might they had coming to the Europa last season, invariably I'm saying that it's not guaranteed a team has got a better chance with the Europa league if they happen to be relegated from the champions league.

The Europa league teams too Also wants to lift the trophy by the end of the season as well so it's very possible they are going to make sure they don't get hit out by the teams that just joined in from the champions league. I will be even more pleased to see big teams from the Champions league been won by small team in the Europa, for me it will be fun and proves that the Europa team could do better but didn't have the opportunity and so shouldn't be underestimated.

That's right and of course many teams have learned a lot from this season and they must have a view that the opportunity is still there if they try. Atalanta has been the right example this season and the way they beat the top teams could be a complete expense for other teams. But unfortunately Atalanta will not return to the European league and they really deserve to appear in the champions league.

Now there is still a lot of time that other teams can play before the competition resumes and each of them is certainly very enthusiastic about welcoming the new season. There will be several regular teams and also new teams joining the European league and this will give it its own color later. Roma may not be the best but they could win this title after sleeping for a long time.

In the Champions League, of course, it will be much more difficult than in the Europa League, but Leverkusen should make a much stronger team next season.

What happened in the Europa League this season was really painful for Leverkusen but I always remember that in the Europa League there are always surprises in every season and this season there were 2 big surprises that happened and both were done by Atalanta, namely beating Liverpool and beating Leverkusen in the final match, surprises like this are what happen every season which makes the Europa League fiercer and much more competitive so it is very interesting to follow.

One good season is not an indicator, I mean that firstly I am almost sure that Bayer will not be so easy to repeat his success in the Bundesliga, because Bayern will be eager to regain the championship title, and secondly Bayer will have to play not in the EL, but in the Champions League where the opponents will be of a completely different level, and first it would be good to get to know their opponents and try to get out of the group.

These two teams have done well in the Europa League competition as well as in the league tournaments they have played well enough compared to other seasons to qualify for next season's Champions League. No matter how low a team is in their own league, if the team can have a good season and move from number one to number four in the points table, they will earn a ticket to the Champions League. Big teams always participate in the Champions League competition. 

In the just-concluded Champions League tournament, we saw Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich playing against each other, while Barcelona, Dortmund and PSG played in the other group. This saw the big teams in the Champions League pitted against each other and the weaker teams pitted against each other.   
Due to this, a weak team and a strong team fought in the final match. But if the competition had been changed in a different way, maybe the final semi-final matches of the Champions League would have been more difficult.

Yes, Leverkusen are not a team that will give up if things don't work out, this season they have proved it every time and didn't give up until the last even in the Europa League final. Even though they didn't win - we will be able to watch them play in the Champions League next season, isn't that great? I wish they would have strengthened more before the season started and bought someone

Indeed, that is what makes the European League so interesting. That is when the teams that failed in group qualification in the Champions League come here. Namely the one who can only get 3rd place in the group he occupies in the Champions League qualifying group. And it's not even impossible that Leverkusen and Atalanta could experience failure there in the UCL and have to come back here and go straight into the playoffs.

So the real competition sometimes becomes fiercer when several teams from the Champions League come to the European League. But in the season that has just ended, we saw that all the teams that failed in qualifying of the UCL group also experienced failure again in the Europa League. Examples are Shaktar, Milan, Young Boys, Feyenoord, Benficam, Braga, Lens and Galatasaray. All of them didn't make it to the semi-finals. And still those who managed to advance further were the European League participants from the start.

The difference between the champions league and the Europa is obviously very clear and not even such that can be compared, the only very obvious similarities would be that they are both football games and have to be played by same number of players a d officiated by the same number of referee aswell but when it comes to value and the drive that comes with the champions league, it's definitely nothing compared with the Europa, this doesn't mean the Europa isn't a prestigious trophy but the champions league is higher.

Top Europa league teams this season having to participate in the champions league is such that even the team know and understands so well that it's going to be a totally different experience but then top team such as Atlanta and Leverkusen, let's not forget were champions too, Leverkusen was a champion in their domestic league and so was Atlanta in the Europa, and they also had a decent finish in their domestic league too, so as champions, I believe they will be able to contend in the league where they now belong, so I wouldn't see them any less or even think they may not do any better.

I will rather wait till the champions y have come to the point either of them gets eliminated then I will say probably they have not be good enough especially if the get eliminated too early , that in the long run will serve as an experience for them because especially for Leverkusen, they don't seem to have enough of a champions league experience so maybe they will add this to it and hopefully one day they become a top contender in the champions league.

One fascinating thing about the Europa League that makes it unpredictable even though the competition has started is the linkage it has with the champions league. Your qualification to the Champions League is not confirmed not until you’ve passed the group stage of the competition and when you fail to pass, make sure you don’t finish on the last position on the table because you’ll lose out in all European competition for that season.

It is only after some teams have been relegated from the champions league to the Europa league that one can now look into the teams that can excel in the Europa League and become the contenders of the trophy. The game is full of surprises just like the champions league where sometimes the most favourable teams to win the competitions always fail to win in the end and the less underrated ones triumphs over them in the end.

There are many differences between the Champions League and the European League. The best teams in Europe participate in the Champions League tournament, Bayer Leverkusen, Atalanta are definitely lucky because they qualified for the next Champions League tournament. But the reality is that they will not be able to take much advantage of the team they have participated in the next Champions League tournament because they must form a strong team in the Champions League tournament to achieve well. Bayer Leverkusen, Atalanta are the champions and runners-up of the European League tournament and these two teams have performed well in their respective leagues so they must prove that they are definitely eligible for the Champions League.

Leverkusen will fight in the Champions League next season. And so does Atalanta. And it would be very interesting if the two of them met again or were reunited in the same group in the group stage of the Champions League next season. And of course fighting in the UCL will not be as easy as fighting in the European League. So I doubt Leverkusen will look very good when playing in the Champions League which has many stronger competitors. Even Real Madrid, which has got Mbappe, will really be the biggest challenge there. And rivalries from their domestic league such as Bayern Munich will definitely not want to lose in the Champions League next season. But I'm pretty sure that at least Leverkusen will qualify from the UCL group stage next season.

About participants for the Europa League next season. I am very curious about Man United and Tottenham who will both fight in the European League.

Dortmund in previous seasons have been very much active and eager to chase the trophy. Although at the moment the chase is off for the trophy but their fight is not finishing in the top 4 spot. They've still got every chance in store to prove themselves. They've had scaly strides from the start of the season up until few weeks back where they first ensured a victory over Munich then also, they've done well to scale through to the UCL semi finals after conquering their Spanish opponent Atletico Madrid. No one knows their fate in the next round but there's certainty that there's difference in their performances now.

 They were fortunate enough to had played, won and qualified against PSG to the final of the UCL and although their level of play is top notch in the Champions League, it is not compared to this Bundesliga season because of the disparaging level of competition. With Dortmund making it to the finals, they have to win against Real Madrid in order to get the trophy.

 For me I think their qualification to the final which has earned them a chance to get a free ticket to next season's European contest at thesame time as their position on the league table has placed them comfortably in that spot of featuring in the UCL, that's why they felt they had and have the leisure to give off outright good performance to waste. Well me thinking they'd try to stay in top form like Leverkusen just to at least gain a bit of confidence boost ahead of their clash with Madrid but they're just in their own self. Hopefully the game results well for them.

Dortmund Mentality is not really good to be a champion, same as what happened to Liverpool when facing Real Madrid. I also believe that Mentality and self-confidence is really needed to become a champion. If we are talking about abilities, Dortmund is in real great performance especially in this year, they have done everything to reach UCL final, but i think their performance totally different when facing Real Madrid in Final.

There is no doubt about skill and abilities of Dortmund, we can see what Dortmund done before facing el-Real in the UCL final, i think Dortmund winning all the matches easily even with less conceded goal, but they couldn't show it in the final. Real Madrid players is really ready for the UCL final. So we can conlude that Mentality is really necessary to be a champion.

Now we see the end of this season, and the teams performance which was a surprised to many people because some teams some people thought they will perform well in this season failed at the end of the tournament, but the team people thought they will lift the trophy failed at the end of the final game.

I believe Bayer Leverkusen will not going to miss this trophy next season,because it look like all their players will still remain till the end of next season and it will help them to work together to achieve their goal.

Some teams has started signing some new players and coaches, just to correct some errors that made them not to improve during the season that ended for the favor of Atalanta team.

It's difficult if As Roma is a candidate for next season, sometimes As Roma often have difficulties in Serie A, you can't imagine facing a European team, of course they have a different playing style. De Rossi hasn't fully brought As Roma to success, Atalanta and Bayer Leverkuses seem to be joining  to the last 16 with Atalanta because both of them are clubs that are considered successful in the current season, so it is impossible if they are knocked out of the Europa League, if they get into the Red Devils, the Red Devils are still not sure that they will be able to dominate next season, even though they won the FA Cup, they can't.  is a benchmark, because there are still many clubs out there that could be Bologna or clubs from the French League.

To be honest, determining the team to win the Europa League trophy is very difficult, especially now it is also still very far away to reach the start of the Europa League next season. Therefore, we simply cannot determine the strongest team to get the trophy even though indeed, we already know that the teams that will play in the Europa League next season. But still, because the Europa League always has surprises, and then any team playing in the Europa League will have a good chance to go further and get the trophy. Because after all, previously about Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen also became two teams that were highly favored to get the Europa League trophy, but in fact they failed.

The finalist of European teams this season Atalanta and Bayern Leverkusen will participants in UEFA Champion League next season but not close opportunity relegated to Europe League if finish on 3rd place at Champion League group stage.
Actually can't favorite one teams become the winner of Europe League next season although AS Roma is strong candidate team. Failed reach the UEFA Champion League standing after finish on 6th position, Roma must participants in Europe League next season and wish they can lead until final round after defeating by Bayern Leverkusen in the semifinal round this season.
I think not only AS Roma but also Manchester United who won FA Cup and get Europe League ticket for next season should be favorite team with potential reach until final round.

Totally agree. An example of defiance was Atalanta's Europa League win. They rose from underdogs to leaders, outplaying and outsmarting greater teams. Their tactical genius and resilience are evident. Though Liverpool and Leverkusen were pre-tournament favorites, Atalanta's win shows that sport is unpredictable. Other "mediocre" teams might learn from their story that anything is achievable with the appropriate plan and mindset.

Next season's Europa League will be more exciting. If large clubs that missed the Champions League join, competition will be strong. Every football fan should watch because it could lead to surprising pairings and exhilarating upsets. The Europa League is no longer the "consolation prize" - it's a stage for legends and history.

Leverkusen this season is the best team in my opinion, even though they failed to win the Europa League title and maintain an unbeaten record this season in all competitions but still Leverkusen performance is quite worthy of our appreciation, Leverkusen was previously only a mediocre team which in the Europa League and Bundesliga was never favored as the champion but Alonso answered all these doubts with achievements and records that may be difficult for the team team that is indeed having a makeshift squad to do it, Atlanta, which has also been underestimated to win the Europa League, is certainly quite surprising to us because they can break Leverkusen unbeaten record this season.

I think the application of Gasperini strategy in the final match is really quite effective, although it is not completely able to dampen the attack carried out by Leverkusen but at least with the 3-defenders scheme used by Gasperini is able to prevent Atlanta from conceding in the match, next season Atlanta and Leverkusen will play in the Champions League and of course we all hope that the two teams are still able to compete and give surprises like what happened this season in the Europa League.

Several strong European teams that play in the UCL will also play in the UEL if they are eliminated in the group stage. As Roma are favorites to win at the moment but I don't think they are the best. But we cannot underestimate them. The European League has many interesting surprises this season and I am sure we will also see many interesting surprises next season. Seeing the performance of a team from the UCL or an underdog team that can beat a big team is something that we can only see in the European league.
