Of course it is very unfortunate for Arsenal, when they are in good form, even their flagship players have to be absent for a long time to recover from injuries. Jesus is a new mainstay for Arteta, losing him will certainly make the Gunners' attack line shaky. However, finding the right replacement is not an easy matter for Arteta and he cannot rely on the players currently in his squad, that is very risky. Although difficult, an experienced striker must be brought Arsenal.
Arteta must see an opportunity in getting an experienced player in the upcoming transfer market in the same position as Jesus. And if Arteta doesn't manage to sign an experienced striker for the remainder of the season, I also doubt Arsenal will be able to maintain their apparent best form for the remainder of the season. Although I have no doubts about Arteta's efforts, he will also try his best to select a suitable player to replace Jesus at the start of next year.

Unfortunately, the big teams of Europe's big leagues do not think much about the Europa League. In fact, most of the Premier league teams do not care about the Europa League. Because the incomes are not as high as in the Champions League. That's why I think Barcelona's priority this year is La Liga. I don't think you can beat Real Madrid in La Liga either. Barcelona is currently in the restructuring phase. He is establishing a team that will mark the coming years and he needs time for this.
Yes, this is what is very unfortunate when the clubs in the Europa League do not take the competition seriously there, I think that's what we can see and reflect on in the previous season in the Europa League. Because a club that is taken for granted can even become champions in this Europa League, it proves that indeed they are not serious in competition here. But I hope this season will be different from previous seasons where they can take the competition in the Europa League seriously. Also by joining several big clubs it can motivate them to show their best to win trophies.

In order to make the Europa League attractive, it shows up in the Champions League, which is the champion of the Europa League, apart from that, there is nothing attractive for big clubs. In addition, big clubs are already participating in the Champions League by becoming champions in their own leagues or by entering the top 3-4. The Europa league and the later conference league (formerly the cup winners' cup) is an attractive destination for medium-sized and small cubes in Europe. If these tournaments had bigger sponsors and bigger prizes, I'm sure the big teams that were eliminated from the Champions League would fight here as well. Football is no longer entertainment, it's a big economy for clubs and countries.

Not every team, but some teams do. I mean if you are not a team at the top 4, then you have to go to Europa. Like for example United is there right now, do you really think that United would not want to win it? Of course they would love to win it because that means some money. This isn't about preference but more about what you are forced to do.

If you can win UCL then you would love to, but if you can't because you dropped to Europa then you dropped to Europa and there is nothing else to do about it. I personally would love to just watch United win it to be fair, and that would be something every United fan would be cheering about and would be better for next year.

Barcelona are playing better than last season, with the note that they now also have Lewandowsky at their disposal. I don't know with what attitude Barcelona approached the Season in the EL. They want to win as many trophies as possible, but elimination in the CL and being sentenced to the EL feels like a defeat for a club like Barcelona. They are good enough to win the tournament, but they are also motivated enough. Last season they underestimated the situation in the match against Frankfurt. Let's assume they learned a lesson from that. In any case, not a nice draw for the eighth final.
.
If the world cup ends we'll know if Barcelona is good enough to win the Europa League,  Barcelona is seriously interested and working harder in winning  laliga league, Barcelona can't win more than a trophy this season because they are not so strong

Arsenal have actually been doing pretty good even in times Jesus wasn't able to score any goal. They went on winning by having productive matches in the English Premier League for example. Jesus hasn't been scoring a single goal in all tournaments since October 1. This must have affected his self-confidence in a bad way as well. Now this long running injury is even worse for him.

Arsenal can still go for a temporary striker in January of course. They will have only Nketiah as natural striker in the squad while Jesus is injured. They can secure themselves by doing this. Because if Nketiah also gets injured they would be in trouble.

In any case, Manchester United was not lucky with the draw against Barcelona. But Ten Hagwill also see this as a sporting challenge. In any case, they can eliminate at least 1 title competitor by beating Barcelona. I think it's a game that will go 50-50. The winner of this duel has a good chance to reach the final. To say that the winner is immediately title favorite, that is not. There are still too many good teams left for that. Juventus also wants to show how well it can still play. And what about Arsenal?
I still feel it remains the favorite for Barcelona. Regardless of your view of 50:50 in this case Barcelona seems to have more motivation in my opinion especially if they fail then the possibility of Xavi leaving the Camp Nou is even greater. On the other hand, in this case, the one who wins will obviously be a bit more favored as a candidate for a club that can continue to exist, but getting to the final, we have to see a few more opponents after the play-offs are over, because this will definitely have an effect.

Great draw that Arsenal and Barcelona are linked. I don't remember them ever playing against each other for the Europa League or the Uefa Cup in the past. They have played against each other quite a few times in the CL. I can remember a game that Arsenal came to 0-1 in Barcelona, but in the end Barcelona won 4-1. I also find it difficult to pass judgment on Xavi. Has he done well or not yet? The game is better but he will have to start winning prizes. Last year against Frankfurt they gave away both games.
It's too early to talk about that, because now Barcelona must beat Manchester United first to advance to the next round. Manchester United is not an opponent that will be easily beaten by Barcelona, even though in the past they have been superior to Manchester United. Barcelona have a big challenge ahead, they have to perform their best to beat the better team under Erik Ten Hag.
Even though Barcelona managed to beat Manchester United is not necessarily able to win the Europa League Trophy, there are still other challenges that must be passed step by step. Last season's experience was a lesson that was difficult for Barcelona to forget, when people thought Barcelona would lift the UEL Trophy, a surprise instead occurred in the final, Barcelona lost to Frankfurt which made all predictions fail.

Lol, even Barcelona didn't make it to the semi-finals in the Europa League last season as Barcelona were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Eintracht Frankfurt and not in the final. Even worse, Barcelona in the play-off phase this season will play against Manchester United and in fact it is still far from reaching the quarter-finals.
If at this moment Barcelona lose by Manchester United then of course it will be a very bad result because they were eliminated from the Europa League even only in the play-off round.

Indeed, I also consider Erik ten Hag to be able to take Manchester United to the next phase of the Europa League this season.
But even so I still hope Xavi can fix the problems the team had when playing in the Europa League, because if Xavi fails again this season then obviously it is a bad achievement for Xavi for Barcelona in European tournaments.

Arsenal need to think fast to decide which players they will target after their flagship player is injured. Losing a player will be risky if they don't have good options for players who will replace the position left behind. Now they are on a good track, don't let problems like this become the reason they can't keep on the track they should be. Their opportunities in the transfer window will be very wide open, they must make the most of the opportunities that are in front of them very well.
Moreover, the injured are important players in the attack line, it will make the productivity of goals decrease if there is no equivalent replacement and the possibility of winning every game will be more difficult. Mikel arteta has to really think about ways to solve this problem, at least he has to look for replacement players in the transfer market which we know will take place in January next year.
Of course it is very unfortunate for Arsenal, when they are in good form, even their flagship players have to be absent for a long time to recover from injuries. Jesus is a new mainstay for Arteta, losing him will certainly make the Gunners' attack line shaky. However, finding the right replacement is not an easy matter for Arteta and he cannot rely on the players currently in his squad, that is very risky. Although difficult, an experienced striker must be brought Arsenal.
Arteta should have been prepared for this situation where his players could not join for a long time due to injuries like Gabriel Jesus is experiencing now. I want to see how far Mikel Arteta has anticipated something like this, whether he has prepared very well, or vice versa, he didn't try to anticipate something like this from the start, even before the injuries his players had. It would be a shame, of course, if they had to decline because one of their flagship players couldn't play, after the hard work they've put in so far.

It's strange, then how do you explain that all the big matches of the season (Real, Bayern x2, Inter x2) are lost? I think it's too early to talk about the strength of Barcelona at the moment, because when they play against top clubs, their results are reset. Now they are showing great results against small clubs, but this is not enough to take titles.

You know there real test is the big games but Barca have yet to shown a glimpse of quality to compete with these clubs when they go against them. They are currently the league leaders but they need to up there game against big club. Xavi should also consider strengthening his defensive department because they say Attack win you games but defence win you tittles. Their current form against lower team is great and they need to keep it up.

On there match against Man United it is still hard to predict because both clubs have a missed performance this season but with the whole of January to play before there encounter we will see which teams settles fast after the world Cup.
But I am rooting for the Red Devils

Then you shall compare xavi with the former of coaches that have ever managed barcelona. Xavi has become the worst coach of barcelona. Xavi makes barcelona recorded a new worst record. You have to read this article https://sportsbrief.com/football/barcelona/25934-xavi-owns-worst-record-barcelona-coaches-reached-50-games-el-clasico-defeat/
The worst coach with lowest winning rate in  first 50 games of barcelona.

The game is better but he will have to start winning prizes. Last year against Frankfurt they gave away both games.
The history may repeat again once MU will be beating barcelona.  Cheesy

Arsenal need to activate an emergency option due to the injury that befell Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal must consider its transfer policy to recruit new players who play in the center forward position. Arsenal could have taken an internal solution by relying on Eddie Nketiah as the main striker to prevent the club's spending budget from swelling.

But Eddie Nketiah has a history of being prone to knee injuries, making Arteta in a dilemma with this condition. Arsenal management must immediately take action to solve problems in the attack line, Arteta needs to speed up plans to recruit strikers if Eddie Nketiah cannot be relied upon to replace Jesus.

Missing Gabriel Jesus who was injured while strengthening the Brazilian national team at the 2022 World Cup was quite vital loss for Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus have been important player for Arsenal after his transfer from Manchester City and always dominance in starting eleven team not only at domestic league but also in Europe League.

Have enough time with UEFA Europe League begin middle February next year, Arsenal have activate with emergency new recruitment actually with center forward position, not many option with reserve player, I think Arsenal have spent much money to sign center forward have the same level with Gabriel Jesus if want have opportunity in Europe League.
Indeed, the injury that befell Gabriel Jesus will have an impact on Arsenal performance this season. Gabriel Jesus is very familiar with Arsenal game plan this season, so losing him is like a pretty heavy blow for Arsenal. Even though Arsenal have a stock of players for front-line positions, I'm sure they haven't found the best shape yet, so this will tend to be a problem in the future. in the europa league arsenal was highly favored to become a champion but that was before the injury suffered by gabriel jesus. arteta can improve up front in this season transfer window and that may not work if the players brought in take a long time to adapt to their game.

The quality of Barcelona's play is good now but they are trying hard to improve. But the matches they have played are really convincing. I have seen the goalkeeper perform the best in the Barcelona team. If the goalkeeper plays poorly, then Barcelona is better.  No matter how they play, they will never win.
I don't understand the point of what you are saying. Because while the world cup is still rolling, none of the teams are competing in their own local league matches except for friendly matches. Even so, I don't see Barcelona in this regard because there are many Barcelona players competing for their respective countries in the world cup this time, so you need to wait for the world cup to finish to conclude this better.

I would guess that him being injury prone shouldn't matter for a short span of time. They need him until Jesus is back and that means if they could keep him uninjured just until Jesus comes back that should be fine, he could get hurt later on if he has to, but just need him healthy for a few months at tops I think, Jesus should be back after that.

I am guessing they are scrambling around to find a solution to their problem, they are doing so great so far and need to figure out a way to keep being great otherwise they will throw away a whole season where they are doing so greatly, which means it's not going to be that much of an easy thing to replace him.
