For Europa League, there was an early final if we could say so between Barcelona and ManU. Imagine how lucky the other teams are! especially Juve, they should not have hard moments passing Nantes! Roma game isn't easy but they should pass too. The other matches seem to be random since teams there are fluctuating a lot even in their leagues..
That's why the draw is fair enough, imagine if the final is Manchester United vs Barcelona, the crowd will be huge since that's club has a lot fans. Many people will think it's rigged since they just want money and traffic. At least with this result, it make the other clubs has a chance to meet a big and popular club if they're win, this wouldn't make the semi final or the final is only both big and popular clubs.
Honestly the final came too early. Europa missed it this time, imagine a final of Manchester United vs Barcelona. It may even pull more crowd than the man Champions league final. It is sad to see one of this two big clubs dropping this early.
If you remember very well, years ago it is Manchester United and Barcelona that makes the CL finals. Things have fallen apart.
this will be a very difficult game, I knew man utd will definitely meet a strong team but I never expected Barcelona. It will be huge investment for UEFA, they will make alot of money from the home and away game, more than champions league final game. De Jong man utd was pricing during the transfer summer will be playing against United, I'm sure he will like to prove a point in the game. Ronaldo will be playing against Barcelona again after he left Juventus, he scored brace against Barcelona in 2020 champions league knockout stage. This game is money making game for UEFA

@Lordhermes as a Manchester United fan I’m concerned, because we have a poor win record against Barcelona and thus I’m keeping my hopes low for these fixtures. Furthermore this match maybe a chance where Ronaldo can redeem himself, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he failed to score against them as his stats are bad while playing as a Manchester United player against Barcelona.

When a match like this happens in the Uefa Europa League, no one can believe it. The two teams, who met in the Champions League final in 2011, are now fighting in the last 32 round of the Europa League. I don't think being at this level in Europe suits either team. So it is pleasing from my point of view that one of the two teams will be eliminated. I hope the other team will be eliminated in the next round. They should not get used to the European league.

No other team currently is really ready to pick Ronaldo into their system and also who will pay him same amount United are paying him currently, they will never consider it a good move. Playing Barcelona will be a good way to see how much United has developed and raised their game. Knocked out by Frankfurt last season, Xavi already said Man United is a very tough tie for them expect a win or draw for Barcelona
There are some teams ready to pick him as long as he was going out from MU with free transfer status. These team would like to bring ronaldo to their team. There are some rumours about that. The problem is CR7 has not yet decided his future yet he is still looking for the new team.
Barcelona may be kicked out again from europa league like last season. I see no chance for barcelona to win this tittle for this season caused by so many big teams are also playing at europa league.
We have some top teams from EPL. This may become the main problem for barcelona. Xavi may come to the end of career in barcelona.

I agree with you, because their performance so far in this season show that the coach have to work hard before he will be able to move Manchester united to the promise land. Many people were expecting victory from them yesterday in the premier league competition but they lose to their opponent that made their points to dropped down, because they didn't prepare well like the way they prepared well to beat Arsenal with many goals.
This time the task of the Manchester United coach began to increase again because in addition to having to improve their own performance in the Premier League, Manchester United also had to be very prepared when facing Barcelona next year in the knockout playoffs. Because the match will take place at Spotify Camp Nou and it makes Barcelona's enthusiasm even more to get a win at home, but I also won't doubt Manchester United in the Knockout round because Manchester United will also try not to lose to Barcelona in the Knockout round.

having Barca vs United, and Liverpool vs Real in this stage of these two competitions is a real jewel, although we will have less great teams in later stages
although, United is on their own to be here, they could win first place in their group and watching Sociedad sweating in this round

nevertheless, all pairs look interesting, especially Ajax vs Union Berlin (I would call Ajax to pass through) and Sevilla vs PSV, Salzburg vs Roma
That's like an early final in europa league everyone agree about that , it supposed to happened in the final but what could we do? It's not meet our expectation but the lewandowski vs cristiano duel would be interesting to watch.

The odds for manchester united now at 4.75 while barcelona at 2.25.

Given that the games will take place in February, the likelihood that Ronaldo will play against Barcelona is very small - it is likely that he will leave United in the winter transfer window. But in any case, this is a loud sign and an interesting game, if you do not pay attention to the formalities, then this is a game of the Champions League level.
I hope Ronaldo stays with Manchester United until the end of the season, that way he has a chance to play when Manchester United face Barcelona. Ronaldo has met Barcelona very often since he was at Real Madrid, this time he will play against Barcelona using a different jersey.

This match was a surprise in the Europa League, usually we see teams like Barcelona and Manchester United competing in the UCL stage, previously these two teams have also met in two UCL finals and Barcelona managed to become the winner in both final matches. After failing to take Barcelona further in the UCL making Xavi have to focus on the Europa League, last season he also failed to bring Barcelona to become champions after being defeated by Frankfurt in the final match.


No other team currently is really ready to pick Ronaldo into their system and also who will pay him same amount United are paying him currently, they will never consider it a good move. Playing Barcelona will be a good way to see how much United has developed and raised their game.

It will take three seasons before ten Hag and Man United to bounce back
There are some quality but not quality enough to play for united
Having a good coach but the management should be supportive when hunting for good players
I think it's been too long and given the quick change of coaches from Manchester United it's difficult if in the next 2 seasons they can't do something good.
But even now they are actually a lot different than they were before so I feel it just won't take Ten Hag that long to get Manchester back into good form.

First of all, it is not nice to see two big title contenders facing each other in last 32 stage already. Of course I would have liked to see such matchup but not this early for certain.

By the way Barcelona's odds for advancing to next stage are like this now:



I'm not surprised with seeing Barcelona this much favourite truthfully. This is quite normal when we consider the general performances of both teams. If we compare them considering only the Europa League and Champions League performances then Manchester United might seem advantageous. But I don't expect Barcelona to maintain their bad Champions League effort here also. Xavi needs to do his best for his team to make as much money as possible before the end of the season. Maybe the income here isn't as much as in the Champions League but it is still important. I think this is the end of the road for the Red Devils.

Manchester United is surely struggling into English Premier League, so they have another good chance for going into Champions League which is won of Europa Cup win even it's also not easy for any team as now competition is tough, and many quality teams are doing good job but their improvement in performance a having four wins in row surely giving good impression now they are capable for having good chance with Arsenal and Ajax which is also going to fight for this as they are currently at the top of Dutch League, so they can do good here in this competition as well.

Here now we need good adjustment from coach because this is also very important if you want to have positive results then you need to work on few things which create good chances and right players able to have positive results from these changes hopefully things could be good.
They are not really "that" bad, they are missing one game and only 3 points behind. Which means if they win the game, they may become 4th which is UCL levels. I mean isn't that what the aim was at the start of the season? To be a top 4 team? If they won against Villa they would not only be fourth but also have one more game to play as well, so that would be awesome but even with this situation they are still doing fine.

Let’s not let the start of the season cloud our judgement of how they are right now, they may have started the season terribly but they are doing much better right now. This is why I am guessing that they will have a better run at things after the world cup break.

the next round of the european league is very interesting, barca vs manchester united and ajax vs union berlin will be big matches and also have high tension

while roma, juventus and PSV will face an easier opponent and also have a big chance to win, they are lucky enough
As roma cannot think that Rb Salzburg is weak in this meeting because Rb Salzburg is able to put great pressure on Chelsea and Ac Milan in the group phase of the champions league although in the end Rb Salzburg had to fall in the group phase. In addition, the performance of Rb Salzburg in the domestic arena is quite good because they are able to occupy the top rank of the standings. So the match between Roma and Rb Salzburg is a big match for me, especially As Roma this season looks inconsistent in Serie A which could make it difficult for them to beat Rb Salzburg. In addition, we will watch Lewandowski vs Ronaldo, where Barcelona vs Manchester United is the big match in the first qualifying round.

The rumors about Ronaldo moving away from Manchester United in the January transfer window were very strong, but I still believe it's just an uncertain possibility. Barcelona's match against Manchester United deserves to be called the most prestigious match between the two team, it reminds me of their meeting in the Champions League a few seasons ago.

Barcelona's current quality is good to be expected to play well against Ten Hag's side in February. But maybe Ronaldo's departure will make the team atmosphere a little different even though there is still a Madrid duo there "Casemiro and Varane" who are ready to put up a good fight for Barcelona.

There is also a possibility that Ronaldo will not face Barça. If Ronaldo transfers to a team other than Manchester United during the transfer period, there is no possibility of playing against Barça.
That can happen too if Ronaldo goes in January, he has not been happy but i think after his suspension by the club he has been playing frequently and he captained the team in their 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa last weekend, so maybe he is becoming happier with the team and may not force his way out in January, but even without Ronaldo the game is surely going to be tough and interesting, the two teams are bigger than the Europa league but they must accept their situation and give fans a very good game to watch.

I disagree that Ronaldo will be out of Man utd this January. The past 2 weeks has actually change this. Ten Hag is beginning to play him more and even trust him to be given the captain band this weekend although there were options like Degea and Eriksen to give it to. Except United Signs a merquee center forward Ronaldo will be there till at least next summer.

For the game I predict united to qualify although it will be hard because united are usually poor against Spanish teams but I choose united to win because Ten Hag actually priorities UEL than Xavi. Xavi will prefer to win Laliga other than this. And with Barca's defence I don't see them winning this one.

Another interesting match is the union Berlin against Ajax. That would be another great game. Although Ajax had a bad outing in the UCL I would fancy them to progress pass the playoffs against Union. I am picking this base on Ajax's European experience.

The draw in the play-off round is

And it's a meeting between Barcelona vs Manchester United which I think is the biggest game in this play-off. Barcelona failed from the Champions League to the Europa League and Manchester United had been waiting after failing in the group stage because they had to be willing to lose in goal productivity to Real Sociedad. And now they will meet again, from the statistics of the meeting, Barcelona is superior to Manchester United.
I was surprised to see that Barcelona and Manchester United were really rivals. This game will be really competitive as it is a knockout stage game. I consider both groups strong. But my personal opinion would be to put Manchester United ahead as they play much faster football.
I don't agree that man united has the edge their performance is too unstable if they come in at top shape i would say they might otherwise i would go with barcelona as favourites, but i agree that both teams has history and one thing is sure it will  be a competitive game.

Manchester United facing Barcelona in the knockout phase, it's must watch game in Europa and happens to be one of the tough one. Barça boss, Xavi Hernandez needs to proof that he's capable of taking the team to the next level. While united have been quite on the winning run in the Europa, they also need winning. Erik ten hag have another test to show the fans that he's the perfect man for the job. First I thought it was rumour, but later confirm it and I'm excited about the fixture.
