The match between Atalanta and Bayern Leverkusen is going to be one of the best fixtures to watch because we know how good the two teams are right now and the way they are so good in scoring goals,I can not wait to see the two elephants fight.
Atalanta's performance in Serie A is not very good. They have lost points in the last few matches. It is challenging for them to win against a strong team like Leverkusen. Leverkusen are playing very well in the Bundesliga. Atlanta and Leverkusen are not weak teams. However, Leverkusen's performance is better than Atlanta's at the moment. However, 1st leg is Atalanta's home match. So we are expecting a competitive match.

I think even though Atalanta is not doing quite well currently, Atalanta and Leverkusen are the same in terms of strength. Because Atalanta is facing a lot more difficult competition than Leverkusen. In the Bundesliga, I don't think that the teams are too bad but the main competition is Bayern Munich and Dortmund. But in the Italian League, there are a lot more teams that are really good. So, I think it's going to be an even match.
Agree, even Atalanta can draw Inter in two matches this season in Serie A and also, win and draw against Juventus, maybe there are many more positive results that Atalanta will get against big teams in Serie A. So yes, here Europa League even though Atalanta have opponents like Bayer Leverkusen who are doing well in the Bundesliga, their quality is not much different. However, these two teams certainly have a chance to win and qualify for the quarter-finals, because with almost the same quality, it certainly makes the match tighter and they can certainly score goals in both legs.

Atlanta looks still have dominance on domestic league than Bayern Leverkusen and I think as Atlanta will lead to qualify next round on UEFA Europe League. I think good against team face by Atlanta on quarter final of UEFA Europe League and have chance pass to semi final and make new story with UEFA Europe League competition as the winner, still have long journey because have quater final, semi final and last final stage before Atlanta can achieve UEFA Europe League trophy for this year.

Galatasaray is probobly having one of the worst seasons in their domestic league in history so far,they are really struggling to not get relegated and they are the biggest club in Turkey. This match should be an easy win for Barcelona and i can already see them in the next round of the Europe League.
After Barcelona won against Napoli and qualified for the last 16 then I think they have a great chance to qualify for the next round again. Barcelona have improved quite impressively recently where they have scored 15 goals in 5 matches in two different competitions.

I honestly hope they can reach the final of the Europa League this season after failing in the Champions League, Copa Del Rey and maybe Laliga too. The Europa League is Barcelona's only hope this season to win the title but they must have another focus in Laliga to maintain their position in the top 4 in order to qualify for next season's Champions League. So Barcelona must be able to ensure themselves beat Galatasaray in this round to qualify for the next round. Xavi had a tough job in the Europa League and now he is being asked to win it.

An interesting couple, but Galatasaray looks like an obvious outsider - in the home championship they are already in 13th place and, as I understand it, their game is far from ideal  Grin
By the way, the last time these clubs played against each other was 20 years ago in the Champions League. Quite interesting, given that both Galatasaray and Barcelona are regular participants in European competitions.

Yes, the outcome seems obvious, but I won't bet here. In the end, we don't know anything about the plans of the teams and I don't see any reason why there can't be a repeat of Borussia - Rangers here. Plus, I have very little idea how Galatasaray plays this season (maybe they, like the Russian Spartak, are experiencing a big crisis inside, but they play acceptable in European competitions).

Galatasaray is having a really bad time this season. Currently, they are playing a match against Çaykur Rizespor. And they are currently behind by 1-2, 61-minute playtime. And Çaykur Rizesporis a team which is in the relegation zone. Let's see if they can even come back in this match against a weaker opponent.

Europa league round of 16 draw has been made:
Barcelona vs. Galatasaray. As Barca fan, I'm very happy about draw, after Napoli it's great great opponent.

Atalanta vs. Bayer Leverkusen -it definitely going to be fun, but I'm not going to predict something here.
A very interesting match is Atalanta and Bayer. Both teams are in good shape and scoring a lot of goals, so the first thing that comes to mind is matches with a lot of goals. My favorite is Atalanta, I only hope they can score more goals because I think both teams will score goals in both matches. Barcelona in the match with Napoli showed that they are gaining shape very quickly, and the arrival of Aubameyang in the team proved to be very effective. Therefore, I see a confident victory for Barcelona here.

Barcelona is now one of the big favorites for me to become the Champions of the Europa League this year. I already thought that they would be out of the tournament after they had to face Napoli in the first round of the play-offs but they somehow managed to beat them and to advance into the next round. Napoli was also a favorite to win the title for me, this makes Barca automatically to one of the favorites. Porto vs Lyon could also be a great game and i also think that the club that can advance from this match has also good chance to reach the final or even win this competition. RB Leipzig has also good chances. The Europa League is really interesting this year.

In this year's Champions of the Europa League, I hope Barcelona will win. I hope the good team wins. This round of sixteen will see some big teams exit. I think Real Betis or Sevilla will be crowned European champions. Barca also has a chance to win, but I don't think they can beat a Spanish team. Even though Porto plays well, I can't see them making the final. In the semi-finals, Barcelona, Porto, Sevilla and Betis are expected to meet, unless they play earlier.
A very good draw I must say, from the look of things, FC Barcelona will get to the finals and Sevilla is another Spanish team with a good Europa League experience they have been there several times, they have lifted the trophy back to back I don't see any team stopping them from reaching the finals.

I'm also excited about the Barcelona - Galatasaray draw frankly but it is of course obvious that Galatasaray are the underdog here. Barcelona have improved their performance in every tournament incredibly much compared to the beginning of the season. If we saw the weak Barcelona now, then Galatasaray might have had a chance against them. But now, there is no way. Barcelona have started playing just the way Xavi would like to see now. And I believe that they will keep this up from now on. Galatasaray are having a terrible time period and they wouldn't be able to resist Barcelona.

Barcelona and Galatasaray. Two established clubs. The two teams i want to meet the most have been matched in the first game of the last 16. Both teams could not achieve the success they wanted in their country's leagues this year. But both of them are playing good football in the Europa League. In my opinion, whoever goes to the next round from this match will play the final.

Lazio, who could not carry his success in the league to Europe, managed to take the lead 1-0 with the ball stopped away at Porto, but paid the price for the deficits he made during the match with a defeat. Francesco Acerbi and Manuel Lazzari in the Lazio team are injured. The European nightmare continues under Lazio's Maurizio Sarri. Losing the leadership in UEFA Europa League Group E to Galatasaray, Lazio had only 2 victories out of 6 matches, while they won these victories against Lokomotiv Moscow, which was in the lowest rank, and remained far from giving confidence. The host, who has not lost 5 matches in the Italian Serie A League, returned from Porto, where he was a guest in the first match of the UEFA Europa League Play Off Tour last week, with a 2-1 defeat on the road and put his chances in the tour difficult. Lazio could not show any presence against his opponent especially after taking the lead.

Barcelona have improved their performance a lot recently. And we understand how serious they are about it by their latest result which was a huge victory over Napoli by 4-2 in Italy. I was not expecting them to have a game like this actually. I expected a very competitive game but Barcelona didn't let Napoli stay in the game by performing very good. And they are focused on the next round of the EL now. Their next opponent is the Turkish team, Galatasaray. The odds give them an odd like 15.00 now. And there is a really big gap between them so I think that Barcelona will get a very comfortable win in Camp Nou and finish their work already.

Barcelona got a good draw with Galatasaray, it could have been much worse. We mustn't shortchange Galatasaray, but normally they have few chances against this Barcelona team. Since Xavi has Barcelona under his wing, things have started to go really well. The results are good and they also show beautiful and good football.
I think Barcelona as favorite lead to semi final against with Galatasaray, I don't see any special thing from Galatasaray in this season after bad performance on Turkish Primer League although they have danger atmosphere when home match. Now looks terrible thing with Galatasaray performance, how come as UEFA Europe League right now have down position on Turkish Primer League until 13th standing position, I think is bad achievement with UEFA Europe League team because the only one as Galatasaray not success on the top standing position at domestic league.

It was time for Barca to wake up and finally do something, they had a lot of mistakes this season, but they seem to be correcting that, starting with this win! I guess we can say that draw was in their favor this time, and they will have an easier opponent than now!
I had this game on both teams to score, I felt it will be something like that, but to be honest I didn't expect Barca to win! I won my bet and I am glad to see Barca in the next stage!

Which was to prove - as I said a few of my posts earlier, then Barcelona seem to be starting to recover, which is nothing short of encouraging. The first match was absolutely equal and even difficult for both sides, I thought the second match would be about the same, but no, barcelona were a head stronger as they managed to score as many as 4 goals. Barcelona win, basically glad that they go on, they should regain the trust of the fans. Also, for the second game in a row, Barcelona's newcomer has been effective Roll Eyes

Since Barcelona brought in several new players in the January transfer market, Barcelona's performance has slowly shown an improvement.
Victory against Napoli in the second leg of the Europa League proves that Barcelona is starting to find its best performance. This is encouraging
for Barcelona supporters, because Barcelona managed to beat Napoli, even though the first meeting only ended in a draw. Actually, Barcelona's victory
was seen when the first 13 minutes of the match had managed to score two goals, this has made the morale of Napoli players fall. And sure enough
Barcelona won very convincingly, Barcelona managed to score 4 goals. Then for Napoli it's a very bad result, they should have played better at home,
it turned out that Napoli had to suffer a humiliating defeat. Hopefully the bad results don't continue to Serie A, with a defeat in the Europa League,
Napoli can concentrate on competing for the Serie A trophy.


The score should have been 1-4 in favour of Barcelona. Did you see Napoli's last goal? A player in the Barcelona box just grabbed a defender (if I'm not mistaken, it was Pique) and fell on him, the players raised their hands, but Napoli still went ahead and scored, shame... I really hope Barcelona continue this winning trend, I also expressed earlier that Aubameyang will start playing better than in Arsenal, it happened.

Dortmund have loss their chance on UEFA Europe League and I think will move target on Bundesliga as the only chance to get trophy, after defeating on DFB Pokal right now only Bundesliga competition as realistic chance for getting trophy, behind 6 points from Bayern Munich I think still have chance for Dortmund can get his trophy on this year. I think Ausburg is not have to worry because Dortmund should easy to win on this week.
After very poor run in Champions League there were some chances that they will do better here in UEFA Europa Cup and try to win this, but their poor run in European competitions continue, and they lost very badly at home against Ranger with now they are out of this competition and have very few chances for winning in Bundesliga because Bayern is not easy to team to beat in this league and Dortmund has never been good in this business they have mostly tactics of having some good profit from selling players and right now same happening in Haaland case hopefully we will have any good thing from them in future in any competition currently gape is six points, and it's not easy to turn down by any team in Bundesliga.

Barcelona is looking really good after the recent transfer that was being made by Xavi. And right now I am actually surprised to see Barcelona's defense working quite well because, to be honest, I expected far worse from Barcelona's defensive line but they actually impressed me. I think we can have some high hopes from this current Barcelona squad. Honestly, I did not think that they will be able to win the second leg vs Napoli as it was their away match.
To be fair, even if they weren't that great, they would still be able to beat Galatasaray. They may have gone up at first place as the leaders of their group, but look how they are doing in their own league, they are really not that great. With Barcelona being horrible at the start of the season, they were still horrible for Barcelona standards and not Turkish level standards, even their worst part of the season would have been getting win streaks for weeks in turkey.

So, after the xavi deal and the new transfers, they are not even remotely close to each other in level. This will be one of the easiest games for Barcelona for sure, they will beat them with a lot of goal difference without a doubt.
