There is still time for the clubs now in the last 16 of the Europa League to learn how to play their potential opponents against each other. Yes, it is the job of a coach so they can be aware of which players are dangerous and what kind of strategy they will apply. Reading how the opponent's playing pattern is very important, because that will be one of the assets for them to be able to kill every move they usually make. Also it can find out where they have weaknesses, if the coach can already know this, it will be easier for them to be able to take advantage of the gaps.
As far as I know about Di Maria, it seems that Di Maria very rarely scores more than one goal in a match. But at Juventus Di Maria was able to make a hat trick, and of course that is a big achievement.
To be honest, I personally don't think Di Maria can score a hat-trick. Because players who score more hat-tricks are players who play as a lone striker, but Di Maria was able to do that when he no longer had any hope of doing so.
Furthermore, Juventus will get an opponent which on paper is also not too difficult, because in the next round Juventus will play against Freiburg. I personally believe that Juventus will still be able to win against Freiburg, so that Juventus will continue to go in a further round.

Di Maria has been able to perform incredibly well. After a long time, football fans have seen such a remarkable performance from Di Maria. Di Maria is one of the best forwards.
Im not sure but from what I saw in the game Juventus started the game better than Nantes, unlike their last game where they got a 1-1 result Juventus players were far better than Nantes, Maybe Juventus is trying to recover and get up after the precious bad days they had in the league because thee 15 points penalty and their current position on the table where they have to fight for the next season of Europa league.

True, both Erik ten hag and Xavi will definitely prepare the best strategy for the first leg match later, but again Barcelona will get the opportunity to host first and the support flowing from the Blaugranes will pump up the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players. I think Xavi has to anticipate Marcus Rashford's movements because in several Manchester United matches he is very consistent in scoring goals in every regular league match and does not rule out the possibility that he will score again against Barcelona later.In another order of ideas, I want to leave the genius of Di Maria in Juve, a Hattrick in an incredible way, DiMaria saved Juve is something impressive.
PLAYER RATINGS | Nantes 0-3 Juventus: Angel Di María’s hat-trick seals end of the journey for Canaris
Quote
A week after their 1-1 draw at Turin, Nantes and Juventus faced off in a bouncing and buoyant Beaujoire with a Europa League last 16 spot on the line. Les Canaris started brightly, mounting pressure on the visitors’ penalty box. Juventus bit back immediately. Out of nowhere, Angel Di Maria whipped a first-time curler from the edge of the box in Alban Lafont’s top corner – a stunning goal. The Antoine Kombouaré-led side kept dominating proceedings though, with Juventus ready to pounce in the counter-attack.
Things went from bad to worse for the hosts. Di María made a mockery of Nantes’ backline, rounding past Lafont and shooting, only for centre-back Nicolas Pallois to deflect the attempt with his arm. Spanish referee José María Sánchez pointed to the spot and sent Pallois off, the Argentine world champion coolly dispatched. With a man and two goals down, Nantes had a proverbial mountain to climb.
Kombouaré reverted to play a 4-4-1 formation with Delort as sole striker while I Bianconeri made sure the game was played as slowly as possible. Juventus were close to making it three before half-time with Filip Kostić picking the ball from Fabien Centonze’s feet before slamming Lafont’s left post. With the advantage in numbers, the Serie A side enjoyed more time and space in the hosts’ half and set the tempo of the game as they pleased.

It's incredible, but the fact that someone like Di María has done something so spectacular leaves Juve in a very good position, Juve is taking the level that they should never have lost.
Di Maria wins Europa League player of the week
Quote
Juventus superstar Angel di Maria won the Europa League Player of the Week award after his stunning performance in Nantes last night.
Di Maria was the star of the show as Juve won 3-0 in front of a sold-out Nantes crowd by scoring all the goals.
After the 1-1 draw in Turin, it seemed the Bianconeri would struggle in France, but everything became easy with Di Maria in their team.
The Europa League announced on their Twitter page that the World Cup winner is the Player of the Week after his exploits in France.

Manchester United has become very strong. And at the moment it is very difficult for any of the big teams to win against United.
Any club will have good and bad streak and Manchester United will lose their good streak some day. At the moment, when their players are united together and have excellent forms, it's difficult to beat Manchester United. Though it's impossible to stop their good streak immediately or to make their players change from excellent to bad performances but it will happen someday.Manchester United have yet reached to a dominating level that no club especially big clubs can beat them.
However, even if they can't and end up finishing second in the league (albeit they have a chance to even win the league) I would say that Europa doesn't have to suffer from that loss of streak, because it could be against some other team. Arsenal is still in Europa, and Juventus maybe, but aside from that United should be able to beat everyone else with ease, and that means a win against Betis first.
Under the new coach, Manchester United is playing at a high level again and it showed against a top team like Barcelona.
After a long time, Manchester United has a chance to win trophies again, but realistically I think they have a better chance of winning a trophy in this competition.
The match against Barcelona was probably the final before the final, but of course there are still very serious contenders for the title in this competition.
In the English league, Manchester United is still too far behind Arsenal and this year I don't think they will win that trophy.

At least, Ten Hag has proven himself to be a competent and intelligent trainer. we agree, that The Red Devils have a high chance of winning a trophy in this competition. but actually, the closest trophy for United to winning is the English League Cup which will be against Newcastle. Man United, has a big chance to overthrow Newcastle later.
Speaking of the Europa League competition, even though United have the chance to be a strong challenger to win this competition trophy. but in fact, there are still other challengers who have the potential to be tough opponents for United if they pass in the next phase. as we know, there are other strong teams like Arsenal, Juventus, Rome, and even Union Berlin who will become the Underdog team. so, at least the Europa League competition is very interesting for us to enjoy.
Agree with you, if MU has risen like in the days of Sir Alex before, it will be a big threat to English and European league teams, the proof is that now Old Trafford is haunted for visiting opposing teams, the atmosphere is like before, different from coaches Previously, when dealing with MU, it was very easy for the opposing team to steal points at Old Trafford. MU has the potential to become European and EPL champions if you look at current developments.
Even though Manchester United's performance has bounced back this season, the potential and opportunities for Manchester United to win in two different competitions this season will not go easily for Manchester United. Because Arsenal are also in the Europa League this season, Manchester United also needs to work hard in the Europa League as well as in the Premier League if they want to win in two different competitions this season.Under the new coach, Manchester United is playing at a high level again and it showed against a top team like Barcelona.

I understood that the strongest hold of Erik ten Hag is discipline and hardworking. In every match the work rate of those guys in the middle are very high. Players like Fred, Casemiro and Bruno have very high work rate in every match and that pressure us what the opposing team always find difficult to handle successfully.
Erik ten hag was always applying the rules in the club that had not been applied by another coach just as limitations for salary, discipline and many more. I do agree with those players especially casemiro. I do like how this guy was protecting de gea. There have been many pressures coming from barcelona but MU was able to blocking many attacks from barcelona. De gea was also doing it very well against MU.MU deserves a spot in the last 16 of europa league. MU will be facing easy opponent soon and that's gonna be easy match for manchester united.

In other words, now Old Trafford looks more alive in the hands of Erik Ten Hag. He can be considered successful in waking The Red Devil from his long sleep.
Man Utd, Arsenal and Juventus are rated as the top 3 candidates for the championship this season.
Man United after defeating Barca, the next opponent is Real Betis. This is not an easy opponent to play when the team from La Liga once overcame AS Roma to top Group C.
With Arsenal, coach Mikel Arteta's army will have to face Sporting Lisbon. With the outstanding quality of personnel, Arsenal is said to not have too many difficulties to win the right to the next round.
Juventus is quite unlucky to meet Freiburg, the representative of the Bundesliga - 1/5 of Europe's top leagues and is also in good form in the Bundesliga this season.

Juventus is quite unlucky to meet Freiburg, the representative of the Bundesliga - 1/5 of Europe's top leagues and is also in good form in the Bundesliga this season.
Seeing the performance of each of these teams, I think Arsenal and Manchester United will move forward to the final round. Sometimes Juventus, Sevilla and Roma are less consistent in the playoffs and often experience problems in the first or second leg. What is certain is that in the European League match there will be many big matches in the quarter-finals to the finals. But when it comes to candidates for winning the Europa League, I will still favor Arsenal as champions.
MU and arsenal may go to the next round easily but it's still too far from talking about the final. Arsenal and MU may have some matches to be passed before either of clubs manchester united and arsenal will able to pass into the final. I remind you that there are some strong opponents like berlin, juventus, roma and many more. There will be no easy ways for arsenal and MU to pass it. Even though if MU and arsenal will have managed to enter into the final and there will be only 1 winner that will get europa league trophy.It's better waiting for the result from the match between MU and Arsenal against mediocre team. These matches are so easy to predict. It will give us decent money consider from the odds were not so bad.
Union Berlin with a huge win over Ajax and they are now showing they got the quality to go all the way in the europe league. Their results in the bundesliga arent an accident and this is a huge win for them. Ajax again playing really bad and probobly having the worst season in last couple of years.
Union Berlin made great progress this season. They advanced to the next round of the European League in great style, and they will play Union-Saint Gilloise in the next round. It will be interesting and it looks like if you look at how they are doing, there is a chance they will get the upper hand in the first leg. Meanwhile, in the Bundesliga itself, Berlin also won 3rd place with the same number of points as the top position. So that they can change position again in standing.Undoubtedly, Juventus is stronger than Torino. Juventus have won their last 3 matches in Serie A. And in their last Europa League match they won 3-0 against Nantes. Juventus players are in good form now. Juventus' performance against Torino is quite good. Juventus are unbeaten in their last 13 matches against Torino. Juventus have played well in all their previous matches against Torino. And so Juventus are favorites in today's match.
Union Berlin with a huge win over Ajax and they are now showing they got the quality to go all the way in the europe league. Their results in the bundesliga arent an accident and this is a huge win for them. Ajax again playing really bad and probobly having the worst season in last couple of years.

And it was clear from this match that Union Berlin is now more focused on winning the Europa League title than the Bundesliga. Union Berlin is keen to win the Europa League title. But they have to fight against big teams like Juventus, Arsenal, and Manchester United to win the title. So much more difficult. However, as a result, this season's Europe League has become more crowded. Several good teams are playing in Europa League this season.

Arsenal Manchester United and Juventus should pass the turn without problems, same for Sevilla but it should be harder for them.
Roma can beat Real Sociedad too.
One of these 5 probable winners will be the champion of the cup

Jorginho has won the Europa League Competition with Chelsea before, I think he can help boost them up for the competition to be ready at all cost. Ats least his experience will take them far. That aside, Arsenal likewise has come so close to winning too against Chelsea some seasons back, this is now a good chance to make things up.
Last Season Europa League Competition saw Frankfurt winning and knocking Barcelona out of the competition and sending them back home. They didn't just do that, they went ahead to win the Europa League Competition. Fingers crossed but we'd be damn pleased if Manchester lift both the finals on Sunday and the Europa League.
Juventus are not so set for this, they are still yet a good side with good chemistry amongst themselves... Did Maria got me totally wowed during the second game against Nantes. That goal should be nominated for Puskas Award.
Union Berlin with a huge win over Ajax and they are now showing they got the quality to go all the way in the europe league. Their results in the bundesliga arent an accident and this is a huge win for them. Ajax again playing really bad and probobly having the worst season in last couple of years.

So that they can change position again in standing.Union Berlin are following Bayern Munich closely in the German Bundesliga this season. Sometimes I thought Bayern Munich were down in level this season, but now I think other teams may have leveled up in the German Bundesliga and Union Berlin could be one of them. Actually, Union Berlin don't have a very good squad, but they have a really good team identity. That's why they perform so well. If strong teams like Arsenal, Juventus and Manchester United weren't in this cup this year, they could be my favorites this year
We have to admit that Ten Hague outplayed Xavi almost completely. Manchester was collected, motivated, played to the best of their abilities, which cannot be said about Barça. Barcelona players were as if "jammed" inside, they made mistakes in their passes, which was not noticed before, they made unaccustomed number of mistakes. In general, we can say the coaching victory of Ten Hag, who was able to form a working team of star players, where everyone plays the way he is required to, without tantrums and whimsy.
Xavi was not lucky with the composition, because the game was not the optimal squad, but chances to win anyway, even after the return goal Manchester, but unfortunately Xavi was unable to strengthen the team game substitutes and as a result, a logical defeat.
The opportunity they got could not be maintained, that was one of the factors they had to run aground again in the last 16 play-offs of the Europa league. Between Xavi and Erik Ten Hag they are the two best coaches and I will not blame Xavi for Barcelona's defeat in this second leg. indeed Barcelona did not go down with the perfect squad in the second leg because some of their core players were injured.Xavi was not lucky with the composition, because the game was not the optimal squad, but chances to win anyway, even after the return goal Manchester, but unfortunately Xavi was unable to strengthen the team game substitutes and as a result, a logical defeat.
this success made the red devils qualify for the last 16 and will wait for the draw for the next opponent. Juventus also did quite well by managing to beat nantes 3-0.
I have seen that there is hope for Manchester united at the end of the tunnel, they might be the one to win the league,because I don't see any club that is as strong as them in the league. Barcelona was their rival but they have been gotten rid off. Arsenal will not be able to defeat Manchester united if they clash.
