Erik Ten Hag should have already know the record of Manchester United not winning Sevilla before especially the fixtures they've met previously in the Champions League and Europa League.
Manchester United literally got knocked out as a result of Erik Ten Hag's fault, winning the game and you brought in player to attack more when he should have brought in players to help defend the game. Martial was a vitall player for United that night.

Sevilla deserves the winning because they deserves it, David De Gea and Harry Maguire was part of the second fixture that witness both of those player's playing badly.

I don't think Sevilla eliminating Manchester United from europa league was by luck, Sevilla have always been difficult to Manchester United  and very interesting in the Europa League.  Juventus meeting with Sevilla will be  another interesting game,  and if Juventus is not careful with our  they play their game Sevilla will have advantage of them. This season Juventus are not very stable in their games , sometimes their performance can be unstable.

Bayern leverkusen was actually changing into the new form when xabi was coming to the club. Xabi has been changed the play style from the club. he was also making the club to adopt the playstyle from spanish club as well that used tiki taka as the main strategy.
It's very hard to accept the truth but xabi is the main reason why bayern leverkusen was able performing so well like this time. I don't even think if bayern leverkusen will achieve this stage without xabi on its side.
So many clubs were also hunting his signature in summer. Xabi is such a good guy. He was able transforming the mediocre club in less than a half of season. His impact is really big for the club.
Im feeling so confidence with leverkusen rather than roma.

One of the great things I see about Roma is that there are no great players to accompany Paulo Dybala. I think that if this team adds two more players who will play great matches with Paulo Dybala, then I think that Roma team will become one of the strongest teams.

With Sevilla's current standing, it will be hard for Juventus to beat them at home easily and if I am to predict the match, I will say the percentage of Sevilla beating Juventus in the game is higher even though Juventus is playing at home.

But then this is football it predictions can be hard to do and at that, we must have to wait for the clubs to play out the time but my judgement is based on SSevilla'scurrent games trends and they have done well above Juventus in recent games.

People think Xabi Alonso is the reason for Bayer Leverkusen they have good performances in Europa League and Bundesliga, this team could even beat Bayern Munich a few weeks ago in Bundesliga and to be honest, I couldn't expect to see Leverkusen getting these results they get recently, I think if you continue this performance and based on the previous games they had, Leverkusen can beat Roma in Europa League.

From the start, Manchester United's pass rate was above 70%, but unfortunately unexpected things, such as a mistake that was feared to have occurred in the match against Sevilla, would not be surprising if Manchester United ended up being eliminated due to bad luck. Maybe if the Red Devils appear with their usual defense led by Martinez and Varane then there will be no doubt about winning the two legs.

But indeed time cannot be turned back and Manchester United must try again starting next season, but if they manage to finish in 4th position until the end of the season in the domestic league, then they will not be in the European league again. This time I totally agree with you that Sevilla this season is very lucky to qualify for the semifinals and I think if they still hope for the same luck against Juventus later, I think they will be eliminated.

Xabi Alonso's magic have great impact on Bayer Leverkusen, and they are on amazing run with 14 games without lost mean they achieved their best before having any worst in early half of this season they were in relegation zone with no chance for survival, but suddenly change of coach bring amazing success run now they are at the sixth spot with most chances they will end at this spot because top teams having better distance and chance for the staying at the top but still this is good end for them with spot into UEFA Europa Cup semifinal and ended at fifth or sixth is never been bad for the team which was struggling badly.

Now we have Roma which is struggling into Serie A but their Europa Cup record is much better so here both are at same level, but first leg match could be vital for the both teams which will have advantage then surely this team could be in advantage for the qualification, but prediction is not easy as quality level is at the top.

It seems you think Sevilla is going to win the match against Juventus next week, but I didn't think so, I think they can't have too much against Juventus this time and since Juventus got back the points they lost they have a better atmosphere in their team and Juventus is not going to make the same mistakes like Manchester United.
Also if Sevilla is a stable team and they good all they need, then why do they still have poor performance in La Liga?

there is no doubt that in this European league all the teams that will compete in the semi-finals will definitely put out all their best performance to be able to continue to the final round. but from several teams such as Sevilla, Roma, Juventus and Leverkusen there is one team that in my opinion has weakened a little in the last few matches and is very bad in my opinion.
the team I mean is Juventus, which has decreased in performance and we can see from the last 3 matches that Juventus have only been able to win 1x, draw 1x and lose 1x. meanwhile, when Juventus won, it was as if they were lucky to be able to score 2 goals against Lecce in Serie A, which was not an impressive goal.

when compared to Sevilla it is actually more impressive and the performance shown in every match is very good and this is Sevilla's chance to be able to beat Juventus to advance to the final round.
but the rest we will never know which team really has the chance to qualify for the final round and win the title.

Sevilla recent form is amazing and their performance against Manchester United in both matches were at the top of game which bring them into last four with most chances they can win from here because Juventus is having serious decline in their performance and their fight for the top four in Serie A is also having problem so with this we can expect tough situation for them even it's never been easy for any team but here most chances Sevilla is having good advantage specially after staying into relegation zone now they are at 11th with lost against Girona at home give them shock but right now they are capable of having recovery from this lost and fight hard for the final spot.

In recent time we have problems in Juventus which are clearly showing things are not favorable for them but still Sevilla and Juventus could be the toughest match with anybody can go through in this season we have good results from Italian sides which is also good for them.

Leverkusen are one of biggest clubs in Bundesliga but they are like Sevilla in this season. They had a bad early months of season but with Xabi Alonso who came as an alternative coach, they changed and improved a lot. They did a great streak to jump to 6th position in Bundesliga and go far in Europa League.

Leverkusen even improves more impressively than Sevilla in their domestic leagues but in Europa League, they are getting a same achievement by being eligible to play in semi finals.

I believe that Roma will be careful as they always are. It is a style of Jose Mourinho for his clubs, not only for Roma.

It is more favorite by Mourinho with limited player resource in Roma, he knows that he has to force his players to play carefully and wait for any chance and mistake from opponents to punish them and win a match.

Roma will have a very big match with Inter Milan before the match with Leverkusen. Dybala has been recovering from his injury but he was not used in the match with AC Milan. Maybe Mourinho planned to use Dybala in matches with Inter Milan and Leverkusen but I feel he will not use Dybala in Roma debut squad against Inter Milan. Leverkusen and Europa League are more interesting and more important with Mourinho as well as he might think Dybala will need a bit more days to recover more and get better fitness.

Leverkusen have been on an insane run recently. They didn't get a loss in their last 14 official matches I mean. This is a really impressive performance from them considering how they started to this season actually. There is an incredible level of improvement thanks to Xabi Alonso's management. I think many people were doubtful about his first manager experience but he is doing a pretty good job at Leverkusen.

He saved Leverkusen from being under the danger of even relegating from the Bundesliga. They have put in a great effort into their Europa League matches so far as well. They have climbed to the 6th place in the Bundesliga maybe but it is too difficult for them to reach top 4 at the moment. Therefore Xabi Alonso wants this title here.

This is why I think Roma will need to be extra careful this time. Because Leverkusen are a candidate to be a bigger challenge for them.

Right. semifinal match is a crucial battle for each team. whether it's Juventus, Sevilla, Rome, even Bayern Leverkusen. to be sure, every coach will prepare his team to show their best game. no doubt with Sevilla, they will fight it out to win a ticket to qualify for the final round. even though they know very well, that to overthrow Juventus is a very tough challenge.

On the contrary, Juventus' performance is in a drastic decline. but in their last two matches, it seems that Allegri's team are starting to gain confidence again. however, this result cannot be an indication that Juventus have returned to true form. for now, my assumption, Juventus' only advantage is as the home team in the first leg. that means, Juventus must take advantage of the momentum to win the match with a landslide score. because, the situation will be different when they have an away match at Sevilla headquarters. also, Sevilla will play much aggressively. well, at least we are almost close to this semi-final match. So, we can monitor these two teams ahead of the semifinal match later.

I think Juventus is in a great form but so is Sevilla lately except the last game at home where they lost 0-2 against a team at the same level as them in La Liga.Juventus won tonight against Lecce in Italy and it is in second place so far in Serie A and individually Juventus I think it has better players.I think so because I don't think Sevilla has players of the caliber of Di Maria or Vlahovic beside some other strong names and therefore I strongly agree with you that Juventus is a heavy favorite in the first leg that will be played in Turin.

Of course Sevilla at home has shown that plays great games in Europa League and their destroying of Manchester United is a great proof of such thing so anything can happen in this 2 tier encounter.

Sevilla became the favorite because they were able to beat Manchester United. Besides that, the trend of Sevilla's revival is also increasingly visible in La Liga. On the other hand, Juventus, who are also considered to have evenly distributed strength in their squad, seem to be experiencing a decline in their performance. This will certainly be very dangerous for Juve, who are very ambitious to win the Europa League trophy.

Interestingly, Sevilla and Juventus are teams that have failed to compete in the Champions League this season, so they are forced to fight in the Europa League.

The conditions are still possible for both teams because regardless of anything the opportunity is still there.
The first leg Juventus will play at home is clearly favorable for them but with this in mind I feel that Sevilla will still follow the same strategy by trying to draw the game and make a splash for the second leg at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

Actually for now I would rather say they worked hard than say good luck to Sevilla.
Sevilla's condition, which has a pretty good mentality, can obviously be one of the more advantages in this regard, regardless of how it performs in La Liga and how the condition of the opponents when facing them throughout the Europa League, they keep trying as much as possible.

Now it's just a matter of seeing whether the results of their hard work will continue to be felt in this semi-final because of course Juventus are also doing the same thing, especially when they see their performance at the start of the season was quite bad in almost all competitions that are currently running, they clearly want to pay for that.

I think that series was purely based on luck for them, that is a very fun situation to be in and definitely something I did not expected. United fans must be incredibly angry at it but between mistakes by maguire and de gea on second game, and own goals at the first game, it wasn't really Sevilla that won the game, they did nearly nothing, they just took advantage of the situation, they may have failed to do that too, but they didn't, that's their only achievement.

United was the who lost that series and definitely looks to be a very tough deal. Sevilla is not a great team just because they won against United, that was lucky, I think they are doing alright, and they will keep on doing alright, but they may fail to win the cup, they won't get lucky like that again.

Whether it's luck or not, because at the same time Sevilla's performance and position in the La Liga standings have also continued to improve for the better. Therefore, even though I also believe in the luck factor, but I also admit that Sevilla's performance has been slowly improving and Sevilla's recovery has come at the right time.

So yes, playing against Juventus will in fact still give Sevilla a chance to win, but that doesn't mean I consider Juventus weak because in fact Juventus' performance seems to be steadily declining. Thus, Juventus and Sevilla have a different trend where Juventus is becoming unstable, but Sevilla seems to be more consistent and stable in this moment.
