Very unpredictable pairs. It seems to me that West Ham and Barcelona are the favorites by a significant margin,
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. 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.

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.
Don't forget that the Frankfurt team has been able to qualify for this round after beating a team like Real Betis. Although their performance in the league is weak, maybe they will continue their best efforts to do well in the Europa League. Barcelona is strong, but it is foolish to think that they will win easily.
The match between Leipzig and Atlanta will be very interesting. Both teams are very strong. They will also want to win the Europa League title. We will see one of these two teams in the final.
Frankfurt have doing well so far until qualify on quarter final but I think not enough stronger for Barcelona exactly Aubameyang have good and top performance trough against with Frankfurt during with Dortmund until Arsenal and always scoring goal. I see potential for Barcelona continue to semi final on UEFA Europa League and have chance get first trophy for Xavi Hernandez if keep consistent for 1st and 2nd leg against with Frankfurt. So far as the UEFA Europa League chance for Barcelona to get trophy after have out on Copa del Rey and La Liga title race have close by Real Madrid.

The outcome of this match will probably depend on the first leg. In the first leg, Frankfurt will play at home. Barcelona will only be able to qualify for the semi-finals if they are able to win this match. Because I have full confidence in Barcelona that they will win the home match. I don't think it is possible for Frankfurt to come to Camp Nou and win against Barcelona. All of Barcelona's players are now able to perform well.

Koeman turned the Barcelona team into a wreck. Xavi has rebuilt the team. And now the team is very strong. Since there is no chance of Barcelona winning the La Liga title. So Xavi would like to take home his first title as coach. Europa Legue's opponents are not too difficult now. Winning the title will not be difficult for them if Barcelona can maintain their consistency.
Barcelona's performance under Xavi was very good, he was able to turn a fragile Koeman era Barcelona into a Barcelona to be feared. The Europa League has entered the last 8 round, Barcelona is still one of the 8 teams that will fight for the Europa League title this season. The draw for the round of 8 has been made, Barcelona will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League continued match. I'm not saying that Barcelona are faced with a weak team, but when compared to previous opponents of Barcelona, ​​the quality of Eintracht Frankfurt is still below Napoli and Galatasaray.
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.
considering the La Liga title is already impossible for Barcelona to get because they are far behind Real Madrid at the top of the table, of course Barcelona put all their focus on the Europa League and that way I am very confident with the quality of the players they have they will be able to win it.

My instincts telling me Barcelona are going to grab the Europa league.
I love how they play, not a Barcelona fan but you see something pleasing and you want to see more and more of it.
They should get Frankfurt of Germany out, both legs will be won by Barcelona, I just want to watch their game, week after weekend.
Xavi has brought back hope and life in the young players.
Winning against Frankfurt should not be a problem for Barcelona. There is no reason to think the Frankfurt team is strong. They are now ninth in the Bundesliga. I thought they would be knocked out of the Europa League after losing to Real Betis. But they are very lucky, they have qualified for the next round. But now the opponent is Barcelona. They are even stronger than Real Betis. Frankfurt will leave the Europa League after losing to Barcelona.
Slowly but surely, Barcelona began to find its identity as a team that relied on possession of the ball and appeared to press.  That identity was lost in the Ronald Koeman era.  Now that they are favorites for success in the Europa League, I'm pretty sure Xavi Hernandez will claim his first title as coach at Barcelona this season.

Barcelona will face Frankfurt which isn't a top team nor playing extra right now. Just a casual team that could be passed relatively easily if they play as usual.
Barcelona also will get ride from one of Leipzig or Atalanta which are favourites for the title. That draw was in their favour imo.

It was a really shocking thing for me to see that West Ham managed to eliminate Sevilla for real. 90 minutes ended by West Ham's 1-0 lead and we watched extra time. And West Ham scored the devastating goal for Sevilla in this time period. Sevilla tried to score a goal desperately but it was in vain. Sevilla were one of the favourite teams to win the championship without a doubt. But now, they are out of the tournament. I wonder how far West Ham will make it from now on.

Barcelona got lucky because they will play against a team that is not very strong so this must be a very easy game for barcelona to win

Atalanta found a strong team so I won't be surprised if they lose

Braga also found a strong team, I doubt that Braga can win

west ham was also unlucky to find a strong team, i also doubt that west ham can win

A really entertaining game between West Ham and Sevilla - West Ham has really grown into a well organized and dangerous team. They deserved the win yesterday and will be among the favorites to win the trophy going forward.

Barcelona struggled again - and although they turned the game around I wasn't at all impressed. They have a good team on paper but they aren't really clicking well on the pitch. They are by far the strongest team in the competition but I'd never bet on them winning it.
I agree, and there is an obvious reason for this type of game. In the league everyone wants to get 3 points, or at the very worst case get a tie, but nobody really plays thinking they will lose and it's fine if they lose. Galatasaray had a great defending system, and when they were ahead they just lost it and didn't play like they played before.

But, when they laid back on defense and just let Barcelona pass, there wasn't a method Barcelona knew how to score. Normally what does Xavi's style (usual tiki taka) do? They pass a lot and find the open man. When Galatasaray let them pass between each other and did not pressure them, there wasn't any good opening they could attack into. After their goal, GS lost that and this is why they weren't as good afterwards.

I don't really agree with you because there are other teams that I think are quite competent for the European League trophy this time apart from Barca that's Rangers and Atalanta. barca is having the upper hand and Xavi will be very focused on the Europa League trophy this season, hopefully he can bring barca to win the Europa League cap this season.

Eintracht Frankfurt can be a much different opponent for Barcelona in the quarter finals. I mean that they eliminated Betis in the previous round which was a little unexpected to me. They seem to be like the kind that Barcelona shouldn't underestimate. And I assume that Barcelona have already learned their lesson in the matchup against Galatasaray the last time. They wouldn't play very comfortably this time against Frankfurt. I think that they will finish the job in the first leg already and crack the door open for the semi finals.

I think Barcelona has a clear path in front of them and if they are motivated enough to win the trophy there is nobody that can stop them. Eintracht Frankfurt is nowhere near Barca's level, they should pass this one without too much effort. After that they will meet with either West Ham United or Lyon, this semi final might be tricky. But if they pass this round they will probably meet with RB Leipzig in the final and as you can see it's not too hard for Barca to win the trophy. The only question would be how bad they want this cup, if they don't care as much as Champions League then we can see them get eliminated anytime in the tournament. It's almost impossible to win La Liga so they better take this cup seriously.

Barcelona have eliminated Galatasaray maybe but it was really hard for them at the same time. Galatasaray scored the first goal of the match and it must have been really meaningful for them. They started believing in themselves to advance even more after this. If Barcelona weren't able to answer quickly by two goals, Galatasaray really would have a chance. I still congratulate them for their solid fight in this matchup. They did their best and it wasn't enough. Maybe things would have been more different if Galatasaray had a better squad.

It is a miracle that they were able to show such a high success in Europe despite such a bad staff and many crises. This team has not been able to form a good squad for months, half of the players are not willing to play, the coach has changed and there have been problems with it. In fact, no matter how many negative situations there are, this team has experienced it. It even took place in the relegation zone.
That's why even the draw with Barcelona was a success Smiley

Frankfurt is not among the top teams in Germany. In the league, only Bayern Munich would be stronger than Barcelona. But Barcelona is stronger than all the other teams. Frankfurt may be sub-top in Germany, but normally little chance against Barcelona. However, Barcelona failed to beat Napoli and Galatasaray at home. They have put that right. Barcelona are also one of the favorites now to win the title, and could use some success. I don't know in whose favor it is that the new rule has been introduced regarding goals scored.
