It's always like that since klopp was underestimating their opponents. Liverpool deserves it since they did it very wrong by using the secondary squad to battle against atalanta which is really unacceptable thing for sure. I was expecting klopp to always used the full squads in any of european league match but it was wrong about it.
So, they deserved leave from europa league even early.

It is not a shameful result for atalanta because the outcome in the game was achieved through penalty by salah, it's a common thing in the football. The fact that if  iverpool was unable to score through open play due to Atalanta's strong and consistent defense. Yeah it's amazing to see atalanta was able beating liverpool since many people predicted the opposite thing. The key game was in the first leg. People are being so delusional since they called for the comeback by liverpool. Klopp must be working even harder to win the last trophy for his club, which is also nearing the end of the EPL season.

Marseille was a strong club because it was able to send Benfica out of the Europa League. The upcoming match will be very interesting to watch considering the tension is gonna be even higher than before, especially given how much has changed. Shit happened to Liverpool; the club's performance has dropped significantly compared to the middle of the season.
Glad to see that this is the impact of the EPL loss, which was also putting pressure on Liverpool given that Klopp is expected to leave soon. This is good.

Bayer Leverkusen has indeed had a very impressive performance this season, so it's not wrong if they are considered one of the strongest candidates in the European League, especially after Liverpool were eliminated from the competition. However, in the semifinals, they will play against Roma, which I think is also another strong candidate team. Roma did not have a good performance in Serie A, but they performed quite well when competing in the Europa League. In this match, I don't see any difference in level between the two teams, so it's quite difficult to predict who will qualify for the final.

Since the elimination of Liverpool, it has been common sense to favor Leverkusen winning the Europa League trophy this season. but indeed, Europa League seem to often have a winner opposing favoritism. This is why this competition feels unique. It's rare to see a big club won this trophy.

Uniquely, among four teams in Europa League semi-final this season, only Marseille have on Champions League. This makes the competition really feels like a second division under Champions League. But I hop the game will be an attractive games to watch.

Atalanta's ability to beat Liverpool and and progress to the next stage of the UEFA Europa League competition is without doubt the biggest surprise of all the results in the knockout stages of the competition. Liverpool were considered as one of the two best favorites teams alongside Bayer Leverkusen to reach the final of the competition this season but unfortunately for Jurgen Klopp's team, they were ousted from the competition by an average team like Atlanta.

Honestly I wouldn't pick Atalanta and their victory against Liverpool was very surprising. Atalanta best achievement was exactly this, eliminating Liverpool and giving Bayer Leverkusen an opportunity to win this league.
The funny part is Atalanta facing Marseille which isn't that top this season so an easy access for the finals for Atalanta. Bayer Leverkusen will have a hard match against Roma and the main advantage for Bayer Leverkusen is the fact that they won Bundesliga title so they are more concentrated on winning Europa League than Roma which is trying its best in Serie A too.

Quality and performance clearly favoring Bayer Leverkusen, but we still have problems with UEFA has never been going with favorite teams because we have history of falling them behind like we have Liverpool and Manchester City so here as we have Roma and Atlanta which beats better teams and now their confidence level is also high things can take change.
In last season we have tough match between Roma and Leverkusen and then Sevilla won the title as they beat Juventus, and now we are having again Roma vs Leverkusen but Atlanta vs Marseille which mean any upset can happen, and any team can win from here.

In my opinion, your choice is very correct, the four teams that have currently managed to reach the semifinals are indeed the best at the moment, but Leverkusen is one level above the other three teams. Roma, Marseille and Atalanta do have a chance to reach the final and win it, but when you look at the consistency shown by Leverkusen this season, it is very wise to choose them as strong candidates to win the Europa League trophy this season. By not underestimating the potential of the other three contestants, it is likely that Leverkusen will be successful in achieving their goal of winning the treble.

Besides that, we realize that this is the toughest period for Leverkusen to maintain its unbeaten record, in which I think all opponents will try their best to make Leverkusen experience their first defeat. Leverkusen next two matches in the Bundesliga are quite troublesome, Xabi Alonso must try to stabilize the club when facing Dortmund and Stuttgart, before finally facing Roma in the Europa League. Leverkusen consistency is entering the most sacred test, which in my opinion if Leverkusen succeeds in passing it then they will be unbeaten in the remaining matches until the end of the season.

Exactly. Because if we go by how the four teams have performed in the Europa League and their various Leagues, we will not forget to mention Atalanta and Bayern Leverkusen to reach the finals. Maybe the better team would win the Europa League Cup at the end of play.
For that season alone, I will pick Bayern Leverkusen to win because of how they have stayed unbeaten in their Bundesliga League and they are topping their league without a loss.
I will be giving my support to them to win the Europa because of how they have proven to be formidable since the start of this season.

This could quite possibly happen in the Europa League this season if you look at what has happened to Atalanta this season in the Europa League. So the possibility of entering the final for Atalanta together with Leverkusen is very possible because I don't think that Atalanta will be difficult to beat Marseille, as well as Leverkusen which will also not be difficult enough to beat Roma even though Roma has been coached by a new coach this season with such good performance.

Liverpool seem to have ended their journey to winning the Europa trophy this season but then I'm still very optimistic about their performance in the premier league that they are going to be able to get the league title to this season although they have got Manchester city to contend as they have been appearing weak and lost a game that gave Manchester city the chances to get to the top of the table .

Liverpool would most definitely had gotten the best chance a the premier league of not for their poor performance which cost them that chance to getting to the top of the league already at once, Atlanta wasn't a team that could win Liverpool just like dat but then it happened that they now got to more confidence after their first encounter because they knew that they took so much advantage of their first opportunity so much that they don't need to score too many goals in the the second goals even defending their selves from not conceding much goals was actually enough for them to still maintain their position.

Atlanta may  not be able to get pass the semi finals because i didn't see any solid performance from them that got them to the point they are currently they were mainly lucky and that has aswell been the reason i think they may not get pass the semi finals as they will be having teams like AC Milan and Leverkusen who aren't weak teams for them to contend even Roma is even experienced than they are in the Europa.

The Europa League is tougher and English clubs should buckled up if they're optimistic about the crucial winnings. Liverpool eliminated because they were not prepared, they have everything to win Atalanta in the first leg but their relenting performance at Anfield made them record defeats of 3-0 which becomes a disturbing pieces of work for them to handle. Jurgen Klopp will strive for more uprising opportunities, he's in his final days of managing Liverpool and he thinks its time for him to rest, he will retired from the headcoach position at the end of this current season.

It turns out that the European League also presented surprises that were no less interesting, Liverpool and Milan were eliminated even though previously I assumed these two clubs could talk a lot this season. Atalanta managed to show a different performance between Serie A and the Europa League, since the group stage they have shown these signs, where they managed to lead the Group D standings without losing.

Sure enough, in the round of 16 Atalanta also managed to get rid of Sporting, and the peak of their surprise was defeating Liverpool in the quarter-finals. It's no wonder Atalanta is the favorite to reach the final by beating Marseille, and I think Atalanta will face Leverkusen in the final round.

Regarding Atalanta chances of winning the trophy, in my opinion it is quite difficult, because Leverkusen is still performing with a performance above them. Xabi fleet has performed impressively this season by being unbeaten in all competitions, so it will take a lot of luck for any team to be able to beat the Bundesliga representatives this season.

However, the situation is now more interesting as the semi-final will see Leverkusen take on Roma, which would mean that one of them would have to give up their spot and the favourites would be narrowed down.

Currently the Leverkusen match against Roma is a quite interesting match where 2 young coaches who managed to return to lift the performance of the clubs they coached even though at this time De Rosi was not as flashy as Xabi in terms of performance and records but the fact of De Rosi who made Roma better was indisputable so that this would certainly make this semi-final match even more interesting because one of the winners in this match indirectly they became strong candidates for champions.

Liverpool’s elimination was based on Klopp’s mistake in his first leg squad he did to face Atalanta; he underrated Atalanta in the beginning of the first leg and they were eliminated right from their first  leg Because Atalanta scored an impressive two goals at Anfield which was the goals that lead them to the semifinals of the EUROPA league.


Atalanta might move up to the finals because they eliminated Liverpool that is the best team in the tournament.
I am predicting Leverkusen vs  Atalanta to be the finalist.

Yes, it will be Atalanta's first final, if they make it to the final  
There's more, it's the team's first semi-final in the Europa League, so it's the team's best run in the competition

In a brief analysis, Atalanta eliminated two strong teams, first Sporting, who are first in the Portuguese league, and then Liverpool, who are now third in the Premier League, but were in fight for first place until last week
It's a team that has grown during the competition and gained strength, it's very much a candidate to reach the final and maybe a possible title, not impossible

With Liverpool being eliminated, I also believe that Leverkusen will not only make it to the final, but Xabi Alonso squad will most likely be able to win the Europa League trophy this season. Not without reason, the consistency shown by Leverkusen is still very stable, there is no need to doubt their mentality, and they have all the attributes needed, including luck, to be successful in this competition. Indeed, previously many had placed Liverpool as one of the favorites, but surprisingly they lost their balance, perhaps because the competition for the Premier League trophy was very tight, it does not rule out the possibility that they prioritize the domestic trophy.

Meanwhile on the other hand, the surprise created by Roma deserves appreciation, they got rid of their domestic rival Milan, it's true that is also another surprise here. However, I think their chances of stopping Leverkusen progress in the semifinals are relatively low, but what De Rossi has done for his team now is extraordinary. It could be that this season will be Leverkusen most successful campaign, they will now be able to focus more on the Europa League after confirming themselves as Bundesliga champions.

I have always thought that europa league title is for Liverpool but it is so Dissapointing that their performance declined.  Liverpools performance has been something else recently,  I'm even doubting if they  will be to get the Europa League title for themselves because it seems they lack good confidence in winning their games. Atalanta performance was great in their games, I never expected they will be this good to challenge Liverpool.  The effort Atalanta are putting in their performance it seems their are chances for them of getting the Europa League.  Leverkusen is another team fighting to get Europa league title.

Yes, based on highly consideration, I still have hope for AS Roma, but with the performance of Bayer Leverkusen, I don't think they can make it. But again, this is a home and away game, which we all know that if not for luck, AS Roma would hardly lose a home game, and again, this is a semifinal, so they will do the best they can to use the home game as an opportunity to get more goals so that they can play a defensive game in the second leg that will just make them win and make it to the final, so I can't yet conclude their game, but I will say let's wait and see how it will be.

And again, that of Marseille against Atalanta, no long discussion is needed because, with full assurance, Atalanta will definitely win the game, so even with the home and away games, they will still lose because Atalanta will not take it easy on them in both meetings, so I have my full hope in Atalanta because if they can knock out Liverpool in the league, then Marseille will not be a problem to them.

The problem is that Roma were also able to beat Milan in these two important matches, which I thought the result might be Milan better but it was not.

Sometimes I always think it's unrealistic but the reality is that there are still a lot of surprises in the quarterfinal matches, this is what makes me a little surprised.

Is this Atalanta's first ever European league final? But whatever the result, my assumption is that Leverkusen will be in the final.
