Without us realizing that our focus is now on Leverkusen, they have become a hot topic of conversation and are always the main topic. This is normal because they are truly extraordinary and deserve to be appreciated. They are a very strong team this season, not a single team has managed to beat them, that is a very extraordinary record for Xabi Alonso's men.
However, they have to prove themselves in the European League by becoming champions, for example, because now they are the team that is the main favorite to become champion compared to the other 3 teams in the semifinals. Their first step must be to beat AS Roma to enable them to place themselves in the final round and meet either Marseille or Atalanta. I will not discuss them in the final, because they must be able to complete their task in the 2 legs they will play against AS Roma.

If you look at these two teams by comparing their performance in the domestic league I don't think it's fair because we don't know how tough the competition is in the league, it will definitely have a difference in the tension of the competition. I agree that Bayern Leverkusen have been amazing this season both in the domestic league and in other leagues, likewise Roma haven't really given their best performance in the league, but overall I think they are pretty evenly matched and both have their own style of play so maybe they won't be too aggressive and pay attention to each other's matches first.

It can't be like that, but maybe what can be different is the mentality will definitely be affected if Roma have a losing streak.

Leverkusen are stronger than Roma and create more impression in this season than Roma. They also have better preparation for the first semi final match because they don't have to spend their best resources for their match in Bundesliga. Roma oppositely had to use their best players for Serie A match with Napoli and they still need to fight in Serie A for a fourth or fifth position. Roma's current position means they still have risk to lose a fifth position to Atalanta and Lazio so they will need to keep their eyes on two competitions, Europa League and Serie A.

Leverkusen will have big advantage against Roma in both two semi final matches because the schedule of Roma is very terrible. They have two matches with Napoli and Juventus before two semi finals with Leverkusen.

Most people favor Leverkusen in the Europa League after Liverpool were knocked out of the Europa League a few weeks ago, even though clubs from the Italian League cannot be underestimated. Atalanta has proven to be able to get rid of Liverpool and Roma is able to get rid of Milan, a fellow Italian club, but Milan's ranking is better than Roma. So a better position in the domestic league cannot determine whether a club will also perform well in prestigious competitions. Roma is an experienced club in the European League for many years. I think Roma still deserves to be a favorite regardless of their opponents also appearing impressive in all competitions. Sometimes experience can create lucky opportunities, like Real Madrid was able to get rid of Manchester City. This is like proving that good experience in the League Champions Real Madrid can bring a chance of victory.

It's quite difficult to make a choice between Roma and Leverkusen, both of them seem to have the same performance and also have the same ambition to win the Europa League title, we'll see how the match between the two clubs goes. To be honest, I favor Leverkusen but because Leverkusen has not been defeated until now it makes me worried that Roma might break this record in the Europa League, especially since the first leg will be held at home to Roma so it would be a big advantage for Roma to beat Leverkusen.

Leverkusen being brilliance surely makes everyone put them the most favorite to win the trophy, Europa League is known to produce surprises. Favorite teams rarely won this trophy since a long time. Roma is also having a big improvement since De Rossi took over the coaching role, and this could be their best chance to play in Champions League next season, if they win this UEL trophy.

This semi-final tie will be the most anticipated Europa League game since a while, because this will be a stage for De Rossi and Alonso to prove their capability. Leverkusen have been continuing their consistency by maintaining their unbeaten record, while De Rossi seems to be struggling for play against strong teams. provenly lost to Inter and Bologna. Alonso has an edge over De Rossi, because he has managed Leverkusen for full season, while De Rossi has just managed Roma in the middle of the season.

Just like you rightly said, Bayer Leverkusen on paper have is easily the favorite team to win their UEFA Europa League semi final tie against AS Roma because of their superior performance in all competitions this season but because of how impressive the Italian club have been since Daniele De Rossi took over the managerial position at the club, I don think it'll be good idea not to give the the German team a chance of pulling a surprise in the two legged tie. Roma since their current manager took over have been exceptionally impressive which is why they were able to eliminate a big club like AC Milan from the UEFA Europa League competition  so against Bayer Leverkusen, I think the Roma has chance of reaching the final

On paper, Leverkusen has a chance to beat Roma easily, because De Rossi squad actually had quite a difficult time facing other big teams, which in my opinion was lucky for them to qualify for the semifinals because Milan really couldn't be relied on. This means that many people previously assumed that Milan would be able to beat Roma, as well as Liverpool, both teams experienced bad luck that we could never have imagined.

When compared with Roma, Leverkusen is on a different level, which we can easily identify through their consistency throughout this season. Roma was lucky to be saved by De Rossi, and has now developed for the better under his supervision. But their chances are quite low of advancing to the final even though they were finalists last season, Leverkusen with their current unbeaten record really deserves to be the favorite. Besides that, In my opinion Leverkusen will most likely win the Europa League trophy this season.

Actually for the sake of benefits of doubts i do try not to totally write off Roma because i believe in football anything can happen at anytime and it wouldn't be what we expected to happen, Roma hasn't been really terrible but it's not looking good enough a form that can get them to successfully challenge Leverkusen to a victory in their game especially in the Europa that Leverkusen is looking to win.

Very definitely Leverkusen wants to add to their records this season the Europa title and Roman isn't a team that can easily stop them going by their form and strength seen so far, Leverkusen this season hasn't lost a single game in the Europa from the group stage up to the semi finals where they are now they have only had few draws but have been able to make sure they get to win all of their games so far I'm the Europa but Roma has been characterized with much of inconsistency in the Europa and even in their domestic league too aswell.

In the domestic league where Roma do play, it's become clear thst they get better chances only when they aren't playing against bigger team although they aswell want to win the Europa this season but then i doubt if they will be able to really contende Leverkusen and they should be lucky Liverpool is out els they would have had a tougher squad to contend because Liverpool at a time was very much in forme and were ready to win every team in the Europa.

There is a complete imbalance in Liverpool. After the defeat against Atalanta, the defeats in the league seem like they were eliminated from the Premier League, anyway. Xabi Alanso and his team are very comfortable, I think they can easily beat Roma.

Since De Rossi started to coach Roma, they have started to get better, but I think they are still not good enough in terms of play compared to Bayern Leverkusen. Today there was a match between Napoli and Rome, the match ended 2-2. Napoli is one of the lost teams this season, and in my opinion, Bayern Leverkusen is much better than Napoli this season, so I don't think there will be much of a problem against Rome.

It depends on how they perform on the field because although Leverkusen is the favorite in this match but still too sure can also be a mistake that leads to losses. They must remember that this is a semi-final and indeed once they underestimate the opponent then it could be the same thing when they played against Qarabag in the round of 16 some time ago happened again in this semi-final.

Xabi must try even more for now especially apart from the treble target he wants to get at this time the record that Xabi has is still unbroken so seeing this of course Xai must continue to play consistently so that he can get maximum results at the end of this season.
The last few games they have always scored in extra time to keep their record on hold but this strategy cannot always be used because surely Roma also want a good result in the first leg this time.

I don't think that there will be any surprises on this week's European matches, unlike last two weeks. I believe the Leverkusen will win Roma, as they are the favorite to win this competition this season. Only one club disappointed us which was Liverpool, because they felt they are too strong to be defeated by Atalanta.

Leverkusen would reach the finals, and possibly win the trophy, because they are strong and consistent this season. They have never lost any match in all competitions. This is why I see them as winners already because they would love to end the season with an unbeaten record.

We should be careful because the level of the football have changed. AS Roma might look underrated but they have simply best performance. a can only portray few threats but when it comes to winning, just be mute and leave for Bayer Leverkussen to deliver a good job, it's usually a normal activity for them this current season. This is no debate because Bayer Leverkusen are in their prime, winning, they already have an idea of handling their opposition in simple space. Xabi Alonso will not lose matches because he has a target he's persuading and will not stop until he achieved.

After seeing Atalanta able to get rid of Liverpool, of course the Serie A representatives now have good bargaining power to beat Marseille, so they have the potential to face Leverkusen in the final. It is clear that all teams have the potential to show very different performances between the Domestic League and the European League, Sevilla and their success in winning the Europa League trophy is relevant evidence of this.

The performance of Atalanta and Marseille in their respective domestic leagues is actually not much different, both teams are currently outside the Champions League zone, which indicates that both teams are less competitive than their competitors there. However, their difficulties in the domestic league have pushed them to act beyond expectations in the Europa League, where if they are able to win the Europa League trophy they will automatically play in the Champions League next season.

That is the main ambition of teams like Roma, Atalanta and Marseille who will fight tooth and nail in the Europa League, and situationally Leverkusen is lucky enough to have confirmed themselves as Bundesliga champions, which will automatically make them appear in the Champions League next season even if they fail in the Europa League. However, Leverkusen will be the team that has the greatest chance of winning the Europa League trophy this season, especially after Liverpool were eliminated in the previous round.

That inconsistency is the type of issue that teams have when they are playing at their league, but when it comes to a cup like this they may play much better. We have seen Sevilla not do well at their league so many times and yet still win this cup so many times as well. They are actually the team with most amount of europea league title in the world, and yet they never been that great at their league.

I think Marseille could be in the same boat right now, it looks like they are not all that great but at the same time we are talking about a team that lacks the talent as well. They could be good but their good may not be enough to beat their opponents. I believe that we are going to just end up with Atalanta beating them if they play like they did against Atalanta.

I think that Leverkussen is the team with the highest chances of winning it,they are not losing from I don't know how many games now and I doubt there is a team here in Europa League that can make them feel their first lost game.I know there are some good strong teams but honestly I don't see them being nowhere any good as Leverkussen during this season.I think Leverkussen motivation is quite high as they seem to be playing and fighting for real in any game in their local league despite everything being over there showing that their mentality is a winning one,I think for sure that they are the main favorites to win the Europa League title this season.

We'll see what De Rossi can do next season, especially when he brings in newcomers who fit his team's criteria and needs. Talking about AS Roma, their probability of finishing in the top four in Serie A is still open. provided, Bologna lost in two of their matches, especially against Juventus and Napoli. However, that is if AS Roma is able to win the remaining 4 matches. Even so, AS Roma must work hard to make it happen. So, we'll see until Serie A ends. Well, currently De Rossi's focus is on the semifinal match of the Europa League competition. What is certain is that he will formulate tactics and strategies to win the match in the first leg with a fairly large goal margin. Even though this is not an easy job, AS Roma will not waste this opportunity. I'm sure De Rossi is well aware that his opposing team is a tough opponent and hasn't even lost yet. So, perhaps in this meeting between the two teams, AS Roma was luckier than Leverkusen. well, who knows, football is unique and full of possibilities.

Likewise with Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso will definitely not underestimate his opposing team. Moreover, last season Leverkusen was eliminated by AS Roma in the semifinal match. This match is a proving match for Alonso and his team, plus continuing their current unbeaten record. To ensure how the battle between AS Roma vs Leverkusen will continue, there are no other words other than waiting for the meeting between these two teams to be held.

I'm leaning more towards them losing at this stage. After all, they often end their matches in a draw, it won't happen here, it's either them or Rome. Italian football is very different from German football, it is more complex, they are constantly building different methods of attack, and Bayer, including the whole German championship plays aggressive attack, they squeeze all the forces out of the opponent and finally crush him

Yeah it's normal when almost everyone favors Leverkusen like you said they have a perfect record but sometimes things we never imagined can happen like when Atalanta beat Liverpool even though we know that Liverpool is predicted to be one of the teams that can reach the final but in fact Liverpool was eliminated in the quarter finals well, we don't know what will happen to Leverkusen in the next match there could be other scenarios, for example a penalty or a red card. This match will be played next week and the sportsbook has released betting markets for these 2 matches and I predict these 2 matches will end in a draw, we will see the decision in the second leg.

I am of the opinion that we are all underestimating Roma, it is true that Leverkusen have shown that they are an unbeatable team, but it is also true that dry matches are difficult to predict. I believe we will see two great matches in this semifinal, and it will be in the balance until the end of the 180 minutes of these two matches! As an Italian I hope Roma will reach the final, but I am also aware that if Leverkusen wins, we can only congratulate them.

As far as I watched Roma in the Italian league, they have no chance against Leverkusen. Leverkusen is working like a machine this year. They fight until the last minute without knowing what it is like to lose. It's a great pleasure to watch their match. On the other hand, of course, Roma also have great matches under the management of De Rossi, but I think there is a difference in quality between them and Leverkusen will not be defeated in both matches.
