I agree with you that one of these four teams for sure will be the winner of the tournament.
But I think as you said, the winner of Manchester United versus Barcelona might also win the tournament as well. Gabriel Jesus getting injured has been a big blow for Arsenal. I personally don't think Juventus have been as good as they used to be 2 or 3 years back.
So, I guess one of Barcelona or Manchester United might have an edge over the other two teams. But I think Barcelona have the most chance as United have been really inconsistent in terms of their game. On top of that they have even released Cristiano Ronaldo which is quite unfortunate. I think only time will tell who the champion will be.
Let's wait to see who becomes the champions because there are tough teams in the europa league, and let's not underrate any team in the competition. There's chance that any team can qualify or be crowned european champions. Like last season when barcelona we're eliminated by Frankfurt, nobody expected that, the results came as shock to most people because during that period, barça were one of the top levelled team with excellent performance. The ball is in all the team's court, let's see the outcome of the competition.
Yes, you are right. Football is a really unpredictable game and anyone can take home a game on a given night. As a result, I will not say that specifically one team is surely the favorite to win the tournament. Rather, I stated that Barcelona has the highest chance of winning out of the rest since their recent performance has been quite successful as well as their rank as number one in the league.

Big teams are always placed as the seed in a tournament, but we cannot avoid the surprise that can happen when the seeded team is eliminated by the unseeded team. Several incidents in the World Cup have become a warning for top teams not to underestimate other teams, they must always give their best game to whoever the opponent they face.
The Barcelona vs Manchester United match will be presented at a high tempo. Barcelona strength, which is getting better, needs to be watched out for by Manchester United. Barcelona is more productive in scoring goals and their game is always consistent before the break, Manchester United must be able to maintain their form of play to balance Barcelona strength.
yes, I agree with the fact that football has become really unpredictable nowadays. The biggest example is the World Cup in itself, as smaller teams have compared to the more powerful teams on so many occasions.
I am sure that the game between Barcelona and Manchester United will be an extremely interesting one, since both teams seem to be contenders for the final of the tournament. But I think Barcelona is a bit more consistent compared to Manchester United, who are a really inconsistent team. I also doubt that United will be able to win after they have released Cristiano Ronaldo. But only time will tell who comes out as the winner of that specific game in the tournament.
