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.

Galatasaray is not a weak club, even they in Leg 1 have shown that Galatasaray players deserve to be a threat to Barcelona's backline. In my opinion, the problem here is not with bad players, but because Barcelona performance is back on track. Just look along the way they just made a comeback. So it will be very difficult to stem the mentality of Barcelona players at this time. In addition, Xavi completely overhauled the formation, and the new style of El Clasico now has a greater potential to pose a threat to Real Madrid later in La Liga.

You're right, Galatasaray is not a weak team. They are a club experienced enough. But their performance this season is not good. They play very defensively. Because they have a lot of problems scoring goals. The attacking line-up is weak in Galatasaray.
On the other hand, Barcelona is back in the truck. Their performance against Galatasaray was excellent. Now Barcelona is able to challenge any strong team. In Galatasaray, the team was expected to lose to Barcelona.

I really enjoyed the Crevna Zvezda against Glasgow Rangers match. The fans showed fantastic support. even a little support for the suspended Spartak Moscow from the Europa League. Pity they lost. And of course Barcelona who were lucky to beat Galatasaray. Although the Turks played much worse, Barcelona didn't play their best game either.

Spartak fans always support Crvena Zvezda, it's like a friendly team.
Especially "hot" all matches versus Dinamo Zagreb.
By the way, the atmosphere at Turkish stadiums very powerful too. Turkish clubs have not been performing very well lately, but all fans always support their team, as if every match is the most important.
Barcelona now is favorite of Europa League and they are playing in the class and if it's necessary they can play better during the match.

Even if it is like that, but we can also see the difference in the squad and performance now because this season can be said to be quite a bad season for Galatasaray not only in CL and EL but in the Turkish League they are in a slump at the moment so it will be too much when Barcelona lose.
But indeed when I saw Xavi I quite agreed because he was quite successful in lifting Barcelona now

Barcelona's performance against Galatasaray was good. They claim victory. You also think they are favorites against Frankfurt in the next match. But I don't understand why you don't think Barcelona are the favorites of the tournament. Apart from Barcelona, which team do you think is the favorite of the tournament? Barcelona is a strong enough team now. I think Barcelona is the strongest team in the Europa League. Let's see how they perform in the coming days.

Galatasary is going through a bad time. They consist of a young and inexperienced team with potential. Victor Nelsson, Alexandru Cicâldău, Olimpiu Moruţan, Sacha Boey and Kerem (21-24 years old) are young players with no European experience. And yes, there are young players in Barcelona too. But around them were world stars such as Piqué, Alba, Busquets and Aubameyang. Despite this, they had a difficult time against Galatasaray. They didn't get an easy win. They won't be so lucky against Westham, Atalanta and Braga. Frankly, I'm also curious about Barcelona's next performance. But if we take the Galatasaray match as a measure, I think they will not win the cup. I'm just making a guess. We'll watch and see.

I think Barcelona have real a good chance at getting to the finals, but it easier said than done, Frankfurt is one of the easiest matchup they could have hoped for, but a slightly tougher potential semi final against Lyon or West Ham.

Frankfurt haven't been doing really in their league, so it should be an easy tie for Barcelona but nothing can taken for granted, they'd need to make the most of their chances unlike the both legs against Galatasaray where they almost put themselves in a really position.

Now we know how the chances for Barcelona are getting stronger. I think it's easy to say as a prediction but the reality is that in the game no one knows but the advantage will be seen in Barcelona.

Lyon is the same as Frankfurt who are not performing well in their league but in Europe they are able to stay up to the top 4 if you look at the odds the bookies offer less to West Ham but all that will be different later.

I only saw two matches which I thought were easy to guess.

Agree, Galatasaray was unlucky to meet Barcelona too soon, I think if another club met Barcelona in the round of 16 they would have had the same bad luck as Galatasaray. Despite losing by a score of 1-2 at their own home, I am very happy to see the Galatasaray players struggle on the pitch. They tried their best to qualify for the last 8, but luck was not on their side.

From what I see, actually Galatasaray have played very well against Barca, just look at them who scored first, but Barca are luckier because they have aubameyang who is on fire.

In the Leverkusen vs Atalanta match, at first I was not sure Atalanta would be able to win because judging from the ball dominance, Leverkusen was the one who was superior but Atalanta's luck arrived in the 91st minute'. quite surprising.

The UEFA Europa League quarter final draw has been conducted. For Barcelona, everything is going well. I see Barcelona reaching the final. Barca gonna lift this trophy. A trophy like this will mark Xavi's entrance into the world of coaching success.

Leipzig v Atalanta
Frankfurt v Barcelona
West Ham v Lyon
Braga v Rangers

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.

Very unpredictable pairs. It seems to me that West Ham and Barcelona are the favorites by a significant margin, Atalanta is probably a little worse than Leipzig, but if the circumstances develop in a certain way, they can easily win with a big score. The fourth pair is completely random - by the way, it's very cool that these two weak teams hit each other and now at least one clear underdog will reach the semi-finals.

The West ham united vs Sevilla was so satisfying to watch. West ham started the game with everything. English sides are very good with set piece. In fact that was one of the best performances I've ever seen from West Ham. Unreal football, they deserved to go through.

Sevilla are holding record in Europa League with 6 trophies there. They have many experience there and the win of West Ham is a big surprise. As a fan, I don't want to see Sevilla out but I don't say West Ham don't deserve with this result. They played very well and impressively kicked Sevilla out of Europa League.

Barcelona players are growing up and their young players are showing that they can face with huge pressure. Playing in home stadium of Galatasaray is very difficult and worse they scored first. Somehow Barcelona did a good return and got a win on aggregated.

Fortunately, their next opponent will be one of weakest team in quarter final. It looks like they are in a very good time with Xavi from their improving performance and confidence to luckiness they get.

Kerem is a great player. I hope we will see him next year in the big teams of Europe.

We took the lead in the match, but we couldn't keep the score. Barcelona deserved the win with their good game. Those who predicted Barcelona's victory before the match were right. Barcelona were already favourites. Galatasaray added color to the game by increasing the quality of the match. I see Barcelona as the favorite against Frankfurt in the next round. But I agree with you. I don't think they're the favorites of the tournament either.

I was really impressed with West Ham's performance last night. Despite the opposition being a strong and defensive side, they were able to break through. They utilised their shots well and I must say, Thomas soucek's goal was a real hard one for the keeper to catch. Sevilla played good game and even kept keeper Alphonse areola on his toes but at some point began to get frustrated at easy chances that were being wasted.
In all, they fought valiantly but yarmalenko had to sweep the rug off their feet by scoring in the added extra time and sealed their fate. I hope to see more action from them in subsequent games. Who knows, they might win the Europa.

The West ham united vs Sevilla was so satisfying to watch. West ham started the game with everything. English sides are very good with set piece. In fact that was one of the best performances I've ever seen from West Ham. Unreal football, they deserved to go through. Brilliant tactics by Moyes. They played composed football and were in control for the whole game. Sevilla pressed and pressed but they stood firm and outlasted them. Knocking out Europa league record holders isn't an easy job but they did and I say kudos to them. It was my first time watching West Ham playing in the UEL, they played really well, from the start to finish they were absolutely outstanding.

I felt sorry for Galatasaray, it was very difficult for them to beat Barcelona. In fact, when they scored the first goal, I was a little scared, it might have made Barcelona play more ambitious. After conceding a goal, Barcelona tried to find more chances. Galatasaray, which played very badly in the league, was not bad in European matches, as a result of yesterday's match, they could have conceded many goals and been eliminated Cheesy

That was a surprise, poor performance in the local league but Galatasaray can totally change that in the Europa League with a very good performance. I think, if Galatasaray had an easier opponent than Barcelona maybe Galatasaray would have qualified for the quarter-finals. I think Galatasaray are playing very well in front of their own fans, because even though Galatasaray doesn't have ball possession but every counter-attack he makes can provide a dangerous attack. With this narrow loss, I think Galatasaray still look good against a team of far above quality.

Agree, Galatasaray was unlucky to meet Barcelona too soon, I think if another club met Barcelona in the round of 16 they would have had the same bad luck as Galatasaray. Despite losing by a score of 1-2 at their own home, I am very happy to see the Galatasaray players struggle on the pitch. They tried their best to qualify for the last 8, but luck was not on their side.
The remaining 8 teams in the Europa League make Barcelona the favorite team to win, but this is only a prediction off the field. Anything can happen in football, The club that became the flagship actually lost to the team that was not counted as a champion.

I am really feeling happy to say this but, I told you so. The quality that Barcelona is showing at the moment is one step ahead of Galatasaray. Barcelona played really well in that match and deserved the win in my opinion. Galatasaray was the team to break the deadlock but after that Barcelona absolutely dominated and took the match away from them. Barcelona is looking really good to win the Europa League this season.

It can be said that Barcelona was a lucky team in the last 16 yesterday, because with Barcelona's condition it would be worrying if they got a more difficult opponent. Because only against Galatasaray alone Barcelona had to fight hard and only got a narrow victory, with a result like that I personally still can't say Barcelona is a candidate for the title. Because even though other teams may be seen as having lower quality, on the one hand Barcelona at this time is a team that is just emerging in that it hasn't become a strong team as expected so their quality now in the quarter-finals is the same.

Totally Puzzled at West Ham qualifying, I never expected that them going into the next round.
Although they was favorites for the game at first, the goal from soucek gave them hope.
And it's great to see them, fight till the last moment for the win.
Lovely to see premier league doing well at European competitions.

Really did not expect that result. West Ham should not have won against Sevilla. I really think that it was unexpected for a lot of people. But, when I saw that the match is going to the extra time I thought there might be a twist in the tail and when the goal was scored by West ham in extra time, I think that everybody knew it was over for Sevilla.

Football is more of smartness and luck. Most times having too much squad too can be bad. Luck was more on West ham part but i don't think they will make it to the semi finals. It is a good think that at least one premier league team made it to this point. The fixtures will have a lot to tell what we should be expecting in the next round

I think it's not just luck for West Ham United but also because of their skills that they are at this point. Let's look at the progress of West Ham United in the domestic league, they are competing with Manchester and Tottenham Hotspur to enter the Europa League zone next season, this proves that West deserves to be taken into account this season's struggles.
Talking about advancing to the Europa League final, I think it's a bit difficult for them, because there are many other big teams, but it's worth waiting for the surprises, especially the western ones that will be presented in the future.
