Leverkusen this season is unbeaten and the 2-0 victory over Roma certainly makes their chances of reaching the final even greater this season, for now it seems difficult for any team to beat Leverkusen so I think the second leg will also not be too difficult for Leverkusen to beat Roma again at the Bay Arena, this season is certainly the golden era of Leverkusen after 120 years they are only a mediocre team and the revival that occurred this season Of course it surprised all of us, after Liverpool lost to Atlanta of course the Europa League title competition this season has changed, so what you said is quite true if maybe there will be no team that can prevent Leverkusen from winning the Europa League trophy this season.

In addition to Leverkusen which I think has locked a ticket to the final, of course at the moment the competition is still going on between Atlanta and Marseille, previously I make the favorite Atlanta to reach the final after they beat Liverpool, but looking at the game of the two teams in the first leg last week between Marseille and Atlanta it clearly looks like both teams have the same chance to meet Leverkusen in the final round later.

I think the exit of Liverpool even made it much more easier for Leverkusen and not been a fierce battle as it should have been because we were looking at a finals where they will both get to meet and then it will be a really fierce one between them both because they are both seen as the two best in the Europa league this season and almost no one expected Liverpool will exit the league at that point by such a team.

Roma isn't such a good team enough to appear as a threat to Leverkusen and that's why I refused to agree to the fact that it's going to be a fierce battle because since they aren't that tough enough they are only going to put up some good form of resistance against Leverkusen but may eventually get penetrated by Leverkusen at some point because the determination in Leverkusen is such that Roma may not be able to completely resist, they may only get to reduce how much of  goals they will get to concede as Leverkusen doesn't even score too many goals aswell but then they always make sure they don't end up loosing the game and they will not in this .

Teams that Leverkusen has won and Also made sure they don't get beaten by are way tougher than Roma and if I may judge by that I think Leverkusen still stands that better chance because they are most definitely not going to become weaker with a team that is weak when compared to teams they have gotten victory over in the bundesliga and even DBF polka and back in the Europa ass, the chances are so much in their favour.

I also doubt that the remaining teams in the semifinals will be a serious obstacle for Leverkusen in winning the Europa League trophy this season. Because Roma will definitely not be able to turn their situation around in the second leg, and one of the teams that will enter the final will not necessarily be able to withstand the abilities that Bayer Leverkusen has this season. Because I also think that there are no more serious contenders for the Europa League title this season except for Leverkusen who will indeed be quite likely to win the title this season.

You are 100% right about Leverkusen. This is a whole new level of play, and now that Liverpool is out, the battle is really fierce. Roma is a good team, but lets be honest: Leverkusen has been the best team this season. As of now, they havent lost a game and are brutal on the field. Their depth makes them scary from every angle. I think they'll win the Europa League. Everything about them is strong, but what makes them really scary is how focused and determined they are. I can see them going in the right direction, and I dont see anyone blocking them.

I agree with you on this, to be honest I don't think Roma can beat their opponent in the next match. Leverkusen is playing really well this year, they have a great advantage over their opponents. That's why the result of the Rome match is clear, and the next match will be more exciting for me. After Atalanta beat Liverpool, I think they showed that they are a great candidate for this championship. Marseille looks a little weaker

Bayer Leverkusen feels that its competitors have now been eliminated, therefore Bayer Leverkusen will take advantage of this to win the UEL title, the Italian clubs are not strong competitors for Bayer Leverkusen to stop them in the race for the UEFA title, Bayer has been at an advantage in their away matches and in their home matches. just needing to achieve a draw to reach the final and continuing to win in all competitions will make the players' self-confidence higher and more enthusiastic about winning the title.

Even though AS Roma's performance has improved, its performance is still no better than Bayer Leverkusen, which is coached by the best coach at the moment. I say Alonso is the best coach because this coach doesn't need long to build the performance of an ordinary club into an extraordinary club and Even having the opportunity to win many trophies this season, it would be very fitting if Alonso won the individual title as the best coach in Europe this season.

There is no doubt that it is very likely that Leverkusen can win the Europa League title this season because they were only expected to have difficulties in the semifinal match against Roma, but in reality Leverkusen managed to win in the first leg at AS Roma's home ground so that in the second leg they will play at The home ground means the Leverkusen team will be quite comfortable and in fact I think they will win the game again to make a much bigger Agg.

Against Atalanta or Marseille in the final, I also don't think it will be a difficult opponent for Leverkusen, indeed the final match will be different, let alone the Europa League final match, but realistically, Leverkusen's strength is much stronger than Atalanta or Marseille, so if there are no big surprises then Leverkusen will win the title this season without any significant difficulties.

Leverkusen are favorite winner in the semi finals and for the Europa League title too. For potential opponent in the final match, Atalanta or Marseille, I see Leverkusen are stronger than these teams and they have big chance to lift the trophy if they appear in the final match, which I believe they will.

With two goals for difference from the first semi final, Leverkusen in their normal match, will be able to secure it and go to the final. Because they did not have any loss in this season, if they maintain it next week, they will appear in the final, not Roma. Roma can beat Leverkusen but  maybe with only one goal difference, not two.

I don't see pressure from anyone but they maybe feel pressure to win two more titles, Europa League and DFB Pokal. Only some matches left to complete these ambitious targets and because they have good advantage against Roma, I consider they need to win two more matches, Europa League final and DFB Pokal final match, to perfect this season.

Roma clearly seems to be experiencing rapid progress and improvement in their performance when playing on the field. but it turns out that in reality this increase was not strong enough to beat Leverkusen in the European League, who have become champions in the Bundesliga this season. Well Xabi Alonso was amazing. And he really made drastic changes to Leverkusen's quality in these two seasons. And the highlight of this season is that Leverkusen is truly at its best with Xabi Alonso. And now the opportunity to win a title in the European League is also getting bigger. Because Roma, who were their opponents, were also 2 goals behind in the first leg. So Leverkusen will really be very comfortable in the second leg because they are superior on aggregate.

The important point to remember here is that Atalanta is the team that beat Liverpool. If Liverpool are favorites to win with Leverkusen, now we can assume the final match will be Atalanta vs Leverkusen. I'm sure Leverkusen can overcome AS Roma in the 2nd leg but ensuring the match goes unbeaten is pressure for Leverkusen. They will chase Benfica's unbeaten record and they have the potential to become the only team with an unbeaten record in a season in all competitions. This is a prestigious record that has never been achieved by any team.

And it looks like there will be pressure for Leverkusen to get this title. I'm sure Leverkusen can win the Europa League and DFB Pokal, but I doubt they can maintain their unbeaten record.

But unfortunately Xabi Alonso will remain with Bayer Leverkusen next season and now apart from waiting to see who will win in the second leg between Bayer Leverkusen vs AS Roma. I'm also a little curious about the Marseille vs Atalanta match because in the first leg they both experienced a draw. So the match will also be more interesting to see who will qualify for the final round of the Europa League this season apart from Bayer Leverkusen because for me Bayer Leverkusen will be more certain to qualify there.

It also seems to me that the likelihood that Bayer will finish the season unbeaten (at least in the Bundesliga) is now very high - they have a convenient schedule of games and even when one game follows another with a short break (Roma and then two days later Bochum), then the opponents are very convenient for at least a draw. There is a separate question about the Europa League final, but at the moment Atalanta has not yet reached there, and Marseille is unlikely to be a serious opponent for Bayer.

Xabi's target does seem to be beyond his expectations this season but indeed what they get is a good thing because from the beginning of their good performance not a few still doubt the strength of Leverkusen but Xabi gave a performance that cannot be denied that they are a solid club this season.

At the moment the chance of them being able to bring the treble this season is very large because as you wrote the Bundesliga is now in hand, the DFB is already in the final and even the chance of winning is very much there when looking at the conditions of the opponent in the final which is certainly very favorable for Bayern and for the Europa League at the moment we know that at the moment they have the upper hand where the aggregate of 2 goals is already owned and the conditions are now just waiting for them to hold in leg 2 and most likely the final is also obtained.

This season prime Leverkusen really can't be stopped and Xabi deserves to be called a great coach with his current achievements.

Agree with you, after Liverpool were eliminated we couldn't see any team that could compete with Leverkusen in the European League. I don't mean to underestimate teams like AS Roma and others, but we can also judge for ourselves how Leverkusen's performance compares with the 3 teams in the European League, they are a team that looks very ready with their extraordinary performance.

Making a record without defeat throughout this season is proof that they are very strong this season, and they have recorded without defeat not only in 1 competition, but in all the competitions they have participated in this season. Anyone who will face Leverkusen will definitely think hard about how to beat Leverkusen, who have appeared solid this season and until now no team has been able to do that (beat them). I think the European League this season will belong to Leverkusen, yes they deserve it looking at their performance this season.

In the first match between Marseille and Atalanta there was a draw, so it’s too early to say that Atalanta will definitely win. Marseille was able to beat teams such as Villarreal and Benfica, but it is worth saying that Marseille won at home against these teams and this victory was enough to advance further.

For me, Atalanta became a revelation after the away win over Liverpool, after which I realized that you can expect anything from Atalanta, and they can be very unpredictable. In fact, I also think that Atalanta can win, but Marseille is playing in the semi-finals for a reason.

Everyone sees Leverkusen as favorites right now as they have an emphatic win against AS Roma. Bayer Leverkusen is completely unstoppable this year. They are playing great and Xabi can make great tactical touches to the game. His ability to read the game is amazing. I think of him in the future with Real Madrid. After Ancelotti, I think he can be the coach of Real Madrid.

Leverkusen have got what they wanted really easily. I didn't expect it to be that easy. I even wanted to give Roma a try with a double chance on them. Because their statistics home were very impressive. But they played much poorer than I expected. I saw only a couple of goal chances which they wasted. If you do this against a strong team you get punished just like that. 

Xabi Alonso is very determined to achieve 3 championships this year:

- Bundesliga, already done.
- DFB Pokal, it is also already done to me on paper. 
- And the Europa League

It looks like he will do it in a really classy way without losing a single match all season.

In fact, Leverkusen already has 2 aggregate scores and in the upcoming match Leverkusen will be the host, and on the one hand, even though the Marseille vs Atalanta result ended in a draw, we definitely know how Atalanta will look when they play at home, which is difficult to beat.
and this means that no one will doubt that Leverkusen and Atalanta will qualify for the final round.
but regarding the most convenient betting option, maybe I haven't done a deeper analysis and maybe I will update my reply after I have done the analysis and bet.
and I would not hesitate to bet on Leverkusen as the European league title holders this season.

Previously we all here expected two great teams this season to meet in the final namely Liverpool and Leverkusen, but in fact it was only a hope that disappeared after Liverpool surprisingly lost to Atlanta who had not been favourites, so far we have only seen Leverkusen able to continue to maintain their form and I think they still remain strong candidates to be able to reach the final and win the Europa League this season after Liverpool crashed out early, Leverkusen now managed to set foot in the final round after beating Roma and they only need a draw in the second leg to be sure.

When Leverkusen might be able to reach the final easily, but instead we are talking at this time to see who the team will be Leverkusen's opponent in the final later, yes Atlanta who managed to beat Liverpool actually drew with Marseille, so when everyone is now favoring Atlanta maybe Marseille will be able to give us a surprise later in the second leg,  But I think Atlanta and Leverkusen would be ideal Europa League finals this season.

Talking about it now is non sense because Liverpool were kicked out since quarter finals by Atalanta and now, only Leverkusen are playing in Europa League semi finals. Because Liverpool were out of the competition already, I will not discuss about them here but they have possible internal conflicts that caused them to lose Premier League and Europa League within two weeks.

Leverkusen are still on track to become a treble winner in this season, with big advantage from Olimpico stadium days ago, they will have many chances to beat Roma in aggregated result. Leverkusen did not play attacking in their first match with Roma but will they do it when playing at their home stadium in front of their home fans.

If beating Roma, Leverkusen will meet either Atalanta or Marseille in the final and they have better quality than both possible opponent.
