Leipzig - Atalanta draw can be really interesting I believe. Because each one of these teams are really seeming to be one of the biggest title contenders left now. Leipzig were very lucky that they didn't have to play any match in last round. Because the Russian teams have been banned from European competitions under the management of UEFA. And their opponent was Spartak Moscow. And Atalanta had a really tough draw against Leverkusen. But they still succeeded in eliminating them by a close margin. And in this draw, honestly I will be favouring Atalanta.

After yesterday's match on the 18th I still haven't enjoyed the meaning of a treat in this quarter-final. Still haven't impressed me with the draw.

Maybe it's unimaginable that the Russian team will be disqualified from the league that is in sight, maybe this is a fortune for Leipzig, maybe he won't really expect this condition to happen to his opponent who is his entertainment. Actually there is no reason not to win if this policy is still in use for Russian teams in the UEFA league

Surely this is going to be the most exciting match in this round with Atlanta is having very poor results in Italian League, but they knocked out Leverkusen in last round and now having another German Giant in front of them with now most chances they can qualify for final which is surely a big opportunity for them to have a spot into Champions League because after winning from here most chances they are going to face Barcelona or West Ham even both teams are not easy but still they can beat them and have their best chance for Champions League spot after losing very badly in local league and now most chances they have no chance for top four spots in league.

Leipzig is lucky enough for having this pot without any work in last round, need some good experience to face Atlanta.

In fairness, I must say that the victory over Betis now does not indicate the strength of the club. Betis is in a deep crisis - in the last 7 matches they won only once and lost three times. But I agree that at this stage of the tournament every opponent can be difficult. Even Galatasaray (now they are the 11th team in Turkey) demonstrated this.

It's not about underestimating Frankfurt but I do believe that Barcelona is at least two steps ahead of Frankfurt at the moment. If this was Barcelona from the start of the season I would have said that maybe Frankfurt has a chance against Barcelona but right now Barcelona does not seem like having any problems beating Frankfurt.

In that case, how do you explain Barcelona's most uncertain performance against Galatasaray? At the Camp Nou, the teams played a draw, and in the second half, Barcelona was able to tip the scales in their favor only in the second half - according to the results of the first half, Galatasaray looked even better. Tomorrow Barcelona are playing against a really strong opponent - Real Madrid, the result of this match will show the true strength of Barcelona at the moment.

So far Barcelona, West Ham, Leipzig might be favotites in the first leg which starts next month but things are different for the Braga match against Rangers where both have almost the same odds.

Barcelona again got a pretty easy opponent in my opinion and it will probably be a pretty easy game for them and for sure they are seeded again at the moment.
But their performance must be better than before because in the previous phase against Galatasaray they were not very good in my opinion and this must be fixed immediately.

If we think about current team position of Barcelona then they are playing good so far. In the last match they did some mistakes and quickly were able to fix it and returned on the match. I hope they will fix their mistake and will build team combination as possible.

I think it's going to be pretty easy for them. The condition of their current players is quite good even though the schedule is tight and their performance is now quite good even not like the start of this season they are like a different club now.
Xavi will definitely improve this squad to make it even better and considering that their current opponent is not very favored I think this will be an easy match for them

It seems to me that Xavi has brought stability to the club. There is no more talk about the finances of the club, the departure of Messi, or the coach.
The players are completely focused on the game and the team and that can be seen in the results.
Unfortunately, it is too late for Barcelona to get involved in the fight for the Spanish title this season, they also dropped out of the Champions League and I think Xavi will try to win this competition, the only competition where there is still a chance for this season's trophy for Barcelona.
I think Barcelona's chances of winning this competition are very good and their main competitors are West Ham, Leipzig and Rangers.

Yes Xavi has done an impressive job with barcelona, we can see the players and coaches are very focused and it's reflecting in their results. Barcelona could be the Europa league champions this season because they're playing well now and are scoring goals too. Most teams will have a tough time playing barcelona but it's football so anything can happen.

For me, Barcelona is also the contender to become champion. However, there are a few teams that come close as well. It's not like they're going to be champions just as easily. A draw against Eintracht Frankfurt is a big advantage, they could also have drawn much worse. It is also the only trophy that Barcelona has not won, which is also a great motivation to go for it. Barcelona is getting bigger and better, and what I have heard is that are trying to look for more new transfers coming.

Looks like you underestimated Eintracht Frankfurt. Barcelona is the favorites in this match, but Frankfurt cannot be considered a weak team even though they are currently ranked 9th in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt journey in the Europa League has been very good, they made it into the last 8 of the Europa League after successfully topping the group consisting of Olympiacos, Fenerbahce and Royal Antwerp. Frankfurt also managed to beat another Spanish representative (Real Betis) on aggregate (3-2) in the round of 16.
If Barcelona beat Frankfurt or vice versa, they would meet the winner of the match West Ham vs Lyon in the semifinals.

Of the several teams remaining in the Europa League this season I think the quality that Barcelona has above all of these teams, so it is very likely that Barcelona can win the Europa League this season if they are able to be consistent with their current game.
Xavi's arrival to coach Barcelona seemed very clearly capable of changing everything and the arrival of several new players made a very positive contribution, now Barcelona are very productive in scoring goals, all of which cannot be separated from the arrival of some of their new strikers such as Aubameyang and Adama Traore.

You know what is the funny thing about Barcelona not being the "clear favorites" for some people? They saw that Galatasaray is not even good in turkish league, and decided that if Barcelona ends up having so much trouble beating them, then they should have a harder time when faced with better teams. What they do not realize is that Barcelona managed to beat ossasuna 4-0, elce 2-1, bilbao 4-0, napoli 4-2, valencia 4-1, and these all happened in the last 30 days.

I get that there could be better teams they may face but Frankfurt is not one of them for sure. People need to realize Barcelona is not doing all that bad, they are doing fine, it was just a bad mismatch for them to face a heavily defensive team.

Barcelona is still in bad financial conditions. But it's true that they are more motivated and the coach has certainly improved this team. At the start of the season, they could not win it against even a fairly average opponent. But, not showing good performance even against teams who are quite strong. I really don't think it will be too hard for Barcelona to win the Europa League. That's obviously if they keep on playing like this.

I also agree with that and I think they could really be a favourite. Frankfurt is actually not an easy opponent for Barcelona and they may still trouble Barcelona in the quarter-finals, but a good performance from Barcelona so far can convince me that they can beat Frankfurt in two legs.

For obvious reasons I really think Barcelona can reach the final of the Europa League this season although they should really do it without any mistakes.

I hope that if barcelona can meet westham or atlanta, but unfortunately they actually benefit by facing frankfurt which is clearly a weak opponent, in my opinion against frankfurk is not a difficult match for barcelona later, especially when compared to barcelona, frankfurt has a pretty bad performance currently in the league, so I think it's very possible that barcelona will be able to easily advance to the final if we look at the teams that are left at the moment.

The draw for the Europa League quarter-finals has been done and now I think the betting market is active. Barcelona is believed to be superior to Frankfurt where Barcelona are currently at 1.92 odds compared to Frankfurt 3.75. I think this is natural considering that Barcelona's performance with Xavi has really improved.

So far Barcelona, West Ham, Leipzig might be favotites in the first leg which starts next month but things are different for the Braga match against Rangers where both have almost the same odds.

If we assume that at this stage of the tournament, when there are only a few games left before the title and the teams have maximum motivation, then we can assume that Barcelona will be the clear favorite from these pairs. In a pair of Braga - Rangers, I have no ideas, so I agree with the quotes. In pairs Leipzig - Atalanta and West Ham - Lyon Leipzig and West Ham are the favorites indeed, but in my opinion they are overrated, so I would rather bet on Atalanta and Lyon.

By looking at the remaining teams, I think Barcelona is very favored to win the Europa League. And I think this is a distinct advantage for Barcelona to play in the Europa League because they are dealing with a team that is below Barcelona on paper. This is the only very big chance to win the Trophy this season, Given that to win the Spanish league championship trophy is very difficult or the chance is very small.

For obvious reasons I really think Barcelona can reach the final of the Europa League this season although they should really do it without any mistakes. Aubameyang has scored his second goal for the Europa League and he can really be relied on now. The whole team seems pretty excited, but I'd really like to see them do the same in the upcoming El Clasico.

The main strength of Barcelona is that their players are now confident. The players were not confident when Koeman was in charge of coaching. So they lost points against the weaker team. Now the players are confident so they try their best to win against any strong team.

Winning El Classico is an honor for Barcelona. But this match is not important. Despite losing to El Classico, they will still be in the top 4 of the points table. They should now focus more on the Europa Ligue.

I can't be not happy about opponent that Barca got. Yeah, we had problems against Galatasaray, so, Eintracht won't be easy too. But it's not worth to expect easy opponents at this phase of tournament.
Leipzig - Atalanta sound interesting and not predictable. It wouldn't be bad pair even in Champions league. In West Ham - Lyon pair I see Hammers as slighlty favorites. And Braga - Rangers pair sounds least sexy from all, I expect Rangers to go through.

I think the match between Leipzig and Atlanta is the star match is hard to predict as you said, Barcelona will qualify against Eintracht easily because they are far better, westham will beat Lyon to the semis, I will take rangers ahead of Braga because rangers are in top form both in their domestic league and in the Europa League too.if I must give a winner in the match between Atlanta and liepzieg I will go for Atlanta,I see them as more matured team than liepzieg.
