Barcelona are now fully working towards becoming La Liga champions. Xavi is working more on the team's weaknesses. Because if Real Madrid is the opponent, you have to work very hard to win the match.

Xavi has been using la liga as the last chance to get the trophy. it seems like that he has no chance to win europa league with the current squad. barcelona might become the most favorite to win the europa league but i have seen last season has become the most reliable evidence if barcelona can be beaten by a team from bundesliga easily. I think that the same scenario would be happening with barcelona again. That's why xavi has been putting his focus into the la liga caused by it needs to be consistence compared with europa league that will force your team to go all in for the league.
Barcelona has no lots of chance to win the europa league title. It seems like barcelona may lose in the first match of europa league.

The difference between last season and now is actually quite big, especially for Barcelona's attack line.
I feel they have a big chance this season but it depends on how they are too because if they still underestimate the game like they did against Frankfurt last season then the result is difficult to be in their favour.

I agree with this because indeed when they feel that they have the upper hand this is precisely what breaks them.
Last season they were hugely favored but when looking at their play with Frankfurt they crumbled in their own way of not being able to make any real breakthrough in the game.
This season is still the same. They are clearly very favored even though they have to go through a pretty tough Play off because they have to meet Manchester United but they are still the favorites in this match. As long as they are consistent and not too arrogant with their conditions I believe they can do more than expected.

Honestly, when Barcelona works hard enough, they will be able to beat Real Madrid, but for now I think they shouldn't have too many illusions about winning the League, yes, they are winning the League, it's because Real Madrid has allowed them to, and for now Real Madrid things are going very well in the UCL, which is something very big, for now the League is something that Real Madrid can once again take first place in the table, Barcelona have to focus more of their energies on the Europa League to see if they enter back to the UCL season, but they have it very strong because Man United, despite the fact that their spirits are very low because of CR7, I think they can come to play with everything.

Man United want to get back to the UCL no matter what, and the only thing on their mind is to have a lot of wins, this is where they need to focus a lot more.

Man Utd: Major change to transfer plans expected at Old Trafford

Quote

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag in deep thought

Manchester United could sign a new striker in January to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, claims the reliable Fabrizio Romano.

The 37-year-old’s future at Old Trafford is now in extreme doubt after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, and Romano thinks that could force Erik ten Hag to bring his plans to add another No.9 to his squad forward.

Well I think that each team makes its good moves, what I do know is that this season of the Eurpa Leaue is going to be very exciting, the good thing is that I will have many weeks of good football wanting to watch all the football matches of both EUROPA league Like UCL.

I don't think Barcelona will win any of this trophies, they might be sitting on top of the table for the time but I have a feeling they will drop below that position when the league resumes. The Europa league also have many other teams who are looking more dangerous and ambitious than this Barcelona team so I doubt they will be able to win the Europa league or even the La Liga title this season.

Maybe your guess is right. But Barcelona's performance is quite commendable now. They are performing well and winning. At the same time, they are trying to solve the internal problems of the party. The bonding between the players is still not good enough. If Xavi is able to solve the small problems within the team, Barcelona's performance will be stable after the World Cup and they will be playing for the title. Xavi now has the responsibility to strengthen the Barcelona team. Barcelona will win the title if Xavi does his job properly.

When referring to the head-to-head record of the two teams, Barcelona is still ahead of Man United, but I don't think Barcelona will be able to win this match easily because Man United will definitely fight fiercely. Even though their performance has not been consistent, but Man United often looks good when facing big teams. Besides that, Barcelona also seems to prioritize La Liga. It was so obvious when they had to be eliminated from the Champions League. So I think, Man United also has the same opportunities as Barcelona to win this game.

Manchester United are yet to find their best form. Although they have won the last few matches, but Manchester United team has to fight hard to win in every match. Manchester United has dropped points this season even against weaker teams. And it is very difficult to win against Barcelona with an unstable team. But Manchester United also have a lot of talented players in their squad. They will certainly want to stop Barcelona. Barcelona won't lose against Manchester United unless they are unlucky.

Are you joking with it? manchester city has been even qualified for the last 16 of champion league while barcelona goes down to this league and how can you say that if barcelona was even more reliable compared with manchester city? Didn't you watch champion league before?
Barcelona goes to the europa league caused by it has worst performance compared with intermilan which was also in the same group with barcelona. Barcelona has not yet even proven can beat united. It can also lose against it too.
You're too early to thinking barcelona was everything in the europa league. Even freiburg can defeat it.

Barcelona can actually win the Europa League title as long as they play like they do in the La Liga. They just need money from as many places as possible to fix their finances more. After the last transfers they are in a troubling condition about financial fair-play. Maybe the revenues aren't the same as the Champions League but they can still make a nice amount of extra money in the Europa League.

Their performance against Manchester United will be the decider about what they can do. They need to get over a big obstacle first to eliminate one of the closest title favourites.

With the full support that Barcelona has, Barcelona should have won titles in every competition. moreover they only play in the Europa League which is basically the second tier in Europe and therefore, they should have a better run in the Europa League than in the Champions League.
But indeed, to achieve this achievement will not be easy either, because Manchester United under Erik ten Hag is a better team than before.

Barcelona has spent a lot of money this season (even to make it all happen, Barcelona has to sell a few percent of their TV rights), so they should be able to get pretty good gains with the squad they have now. In La Liga, they still look to have good potential to become champions, but on the European stage, I think Barcelona has already failed. Eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage round, it is not a great feat.

Even though they do still have a chance to get the Europa League trophy but it will not be easy for them to get and I think some people must have doubts about that. If in the end, they were able to win the Europa League, it still doesn't cover the fact that they have failed in the Champions League.

Anyway, both of their coaches need a degree to achieve at least to prove their coaching qualities. Last season Xavi failed and maybe this season will be the season for Xavi to win a title, be it La Liga or Europa League.
Because it would be a shame if Xavi was still unable to give Barcelona a title, moreover this season Barcelona has a better squad than the previous season because now Barcelona have a goal machine in their forwards.

With the full support that Barcelona has, Barcelona should have won titles in every competition. moreover they only play in the Europa League which is basically the second tier in Europe and therefore, they should have a better run in the Europa League than in the Champions League.

Barcelona's main target is absolutely the La Liga title. There is no doubt about it. Because the last time they won the La Liga title was in the 2018/19 season. Since then, Real Madrid (2 times) and Atletico Madrid became the champion team. However the Europa League is important for them this time also. Maybe even if they win both titles their debt won't be gone completely. But it would still be a nice help for them to make their finance better than before.

On paper they are one of the closest teams to win the Europa League title now. The biggest hindrances are Arsenal and Manchester United. Manchester United are even their opponent in this round and they have a nice opportunity to eliminate one of their biggest rivals already now.

Beside Barcelona's main target with La Liga trophy I think if can get double trophies between La Liga and Europe League give more confidence actually with Xavi Hernandez after failure at first season without any trophies yet. I think Europe League still priority by Barcelona how ever most important with La Liga after last time winning on season 2019/2020.

I don't think easy with both trophies for Barcelona between Europe League or La Liga based on many compete team at Europe League like Arsenal, Juventus and have to win at play off round against with Manchester United.

Lead 1st standing position on La Liga with 2 points remaining from Real Madrid I don't think Barcelona without any problem yet later consistency on the top standing, actually Real Madrid have come back mentality winning and become problem at least Madrid get back to the top standing.

I don't think Barcelona will win any of this trophies, they might be sitting on top of the table for the time but I have a feeling they will drop below that position when the league resumes. The Europa league also have many other teams who are looking more dangerous and ambitious than this Barcelona team so I doubt they will be able to win the Europa league or even the La Liga title this season.

One of the things that pushed Barcelona to win the Europa League trophy with representatives from various leagues who have similar ambitions to win the European trophy this season is failure. Barcelona's failure to add to their trophy collection last season in Laliga and the Champions League is the basis that will add to the ambition of Barcelona's troops to conquer the European League, although it will be difficult but Xavi's troops will try their best.

Competition in the Europa League this season is quite exciting, many big teams are involved in this second-tier European competition. It is very difficult to predict who will perform the best because their strength still doesn't look consistent due to various problems.

The opportunity for Juventus to become the best is still wide open, it's just that Massimo Allegri must be able to improve his squad. In Serie A they seem to have found their game again and this is a good motivation for the Bianconeri to achieve success in the Europa League.

Their chances are still there but we also have to know that if they want to go to the Europa League they have to win in the Play offs.
Even though they are still quite favored when facing Nantez, it is still not certain that they will win and it would be better if they can win so that the chance to win the Europa League title continues to be open.

I think after the World Cup the fans will have a big decline in interest in the secondary tournaments. It's one thing to watch the Europa League under normal conditions (after all, there are interesting confrontations) and another thing, having had enough of the super-important World Cup games, to return to the Europa League games. I think such sentiments will touch some players/coaches as well.

I don't know about that. To be honest for me the national teams and the national cups like European Championship and the World Cup have never been of the biggest interest for me. I just enjoy club football way more than national teams. I also think that the quality of the football games is way higher in the Champions League and Europa League then in the world cup for example.
Especially in the world cup there are some teams that are taking part that are at least 1 or 2 tiers below the best ones like Saudi Arabia and Qatar for example. Overall for me the world cup is not really the highlight of this football year. I will watch it though because obviously that this the only football that is going on during that time.

The spirit of soccer games is unified. Irrespective of what ever tournament it is be it world cup, Europa League, Europa champions League, Europa conference league the appetite to see this stars return from the world cup and resume their quest for who becomes the champion of which ever Europa cup will not pose any decline. I think it will rather boast up expecetations from true fans because the zeal for dominance will increase

If Juventus improve their performance in defense their chance for the Europa League title will increase quite much as well. I mean that they are really solid in defense as for the Serie A. However they couldn't show the same level of performance in their Champions League matches. Their defensive weaknesses sped up the process for them to be eliminated.

However if they manage to perform in the Europa League at the same level of their performance in the Serie A then I will add them among the favourites. But for now bookmakers are showing Arsenal as the closest team to the title. Arsenal have cared about not only the Premier League but also the Europa League so far. With this discipline level they really have a big chance to make it.

There is no doubt in my mind that Arsenal can play in the Europa League final... But the fact that Juventus will be that team, I'd be very doubtful... Sporting, Ajax, Man U, Barcelona in my opinion look much stronger... Although I have no doubt that Juventus will beat Nantes and qualify for the Europa League, I don't think they will win the title...

They are still in a team that really deserves to be considered, but the problem is there are other teams that are better than them. Arsenal are very clearly the biggest favorites to win this competition if they can still maintain the impressive performances they have shown so far. I expect other teams to be at the same level of seriousness in the Europa League this season, because usually they don't have much ambition to win titles here.

I think Europe League still priority by Barcelona how ever most important with La Liga after last time winning on season 2019/2020.

I don't think easy with both trophies for Barcelona between Europe League or La Liga based on many compete team at Europe League like Arsenal, Juventus and have to win at play off round against with Manchester United.

Lead 1st standing position on La Liga with 2 points remaining from Real Madrid I don't think Barcelona without any problem yet later consistency on the top standing, actually Real Madrid have come back mentality winning and become problem at least Madrid get back to the top standing.

I don't think Barcelona will win any of this trophies, they might be sitting on top of the table for the time but I have a feeling they will drop below that position when the league resumes. The Europa league also have many other teams who are looking more dangerous and ambitious than this Barcelona team so I doubt they will be able to win the Europa league or even the La Liga title this season.

If Juventus improve their performance in defense their chance for the Europa League title will increase quite much as well. I mean that they are really solid in defense as for the Serie A. However they couldn't show the same level of performance in their Champions League matches. Their defensive weaknesses sped up the process for them to be eliminated.

However if they manage to perform in the Europa League at the same level of their performance in the Serie A then I will add them among the favourites. But for now bookmakers are showing Arsenal as the closest team to the title. Arsenal have cared about not only the Premier League but also the Europa League so far. With this discipline level they really have a big chance to make it.

Its looks Juventus back top appearance after last six won in a row in Serie A beside have eliminated from Champion League, consistency performance and unbeaten at least 6 matches I think Juventus have potential lead to final stage on Europe League, but waiting for until how many games Juventus consistency actually Europe League play off round begin on next year.

I think not only with Juventus chance to win UEFA Europe League but also Arsenal have the same chance based on consistency performance at domestic league, I have favorite final team in Europe League between Juventus vs Arsenal if both team not face on early stage.
