UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Kristiyana]

-snip

Tottenham fate is exactly like Manchester United, where both Premier League representatives must fight hard to win the Europa League trophy, which provides a path to the Champions League next season. Through the Premier League route, both teams seem no longer able to finish in any European zone, which is why they must place the Europa League as their top priority.
Of course, other contestants also have equally big ambitions, which will make the competition even more competitive. Last season, the Europa League presented a big surprise with Atalanta emerging as the winner, perhaps the same story will repeat itself when we tend to think Manchester United or Tottenham will win it this time.

A quick look shows that the English clubs have a good chance to have one of their teams get into the finals because Manchester United and Tottenham each occupy a different half of the tournament bracket, correct me if I am wrong here though, but this is how I see it.

Both opponents for the English teams are hard. Neither Frankfurt nor Lyon will be easy for them. I see some very close games coming, but it is a big chance for one of them to save this season. A final would be insane between Manchester United and Tottenham, but I don't think that's how this Europa League season will end. Nevertheless, it would be a great final despite their bad performances in the league.

Yeah with the look of things I think this can be possible, I'm more interested in manchester united I think this club may likely get to the final stage of the Europa because there performance in the Europa league is quite impressive. And I'm pretty sure that they will keep maintaining the consistency till the final stage, looking at the previous match in their domestic league against leicester I think manchester united is well prepared to face Lyon in the Europa.

[Frankolala]

I'd always call PL team as a trap in europa league. I know how competitive PL, but it's totally different when we're talking about UEL. As you can see the picture i provided above how EPL clubs rarely won this competition.

This is why your expectation is not even subjective, but it's only based on your view without considering the data.

I rarely bet on PL club when it comes to the UEL. PL clubs are always awful.

I don't think so, we have to look at the strength of the team to measure or make predictions without having to look at or underestimate the teams from the Premier League because in the last few years the Premier League representatives have also won the Europa League, namely Manchester United in the 2017 season.

In fact, I think right now we expect a little higher for Manchester United to be able to repeat the same thing as 2017 when they won the Europa League title but played badly in the Premier League, even Manchester United got a ticket to the Champion League because they managed to win the European League so that motivation is also possible this season for Manchester United.

I feel it's the same thing that happened in 2017, that United wants to replicate this season in Europa League. If you look at their performance, it's more of a quality than what they do display in EPL. However, I feel the players are getting lively and have developed the zeal to win their matches or end it in a draw. I hope that they can make it through to the finals and win the league.

Both Manchester United and Tottenham are underperforming in the Premier League. That's why their target is to win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions league. But that's  also very difficult.

Manchester United will play  against lyon in the quarter-finals. lyon is a strong team. This team has performed well in the Europa League platform and even in the last few matches of Ligue  1, Lyon's players have been able to play well.
Tottenham is going to play against frankfurt. Frankfurt is one of the most renowned teams in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt has qualified for the quarter-finals by defeating a strong  opponent like Ajax. So this team cannot be underestimated in any way.

Manchester United and Tottenham are teams that have good quality overall and what happens in the domestic league will be different from what happens in the Europa League so it cannot be used as a reference and even in the last few seasons we often see teams that win the Europa League do not have a good ranking in the final standings of the domestic league maybe that will also happen to Manchester United or Tottenham.

For the opponents that will be faced in the quarter-finals I think all teams have equal quality and also in terms of percentage all teams have the same possibility to be able to win the match and advance to the semifinals.

Nevertheless, it would be a great final despite their bad performances in the league.

Tottenham Hotspur are not stable when it comes to recording streak winnings, there have been some random up and down performance, and we know it doesn't fit the club's standards. Ange Postecoglou can do something for a change because he wouldn't forgive himself if he's been eliminated from this very tournament. Ange Postecoglou seen what happen to Liverpool, got beaten by Newcastle United and the Magpies lifted the trophy after so many good years. He can actually give the Spurs their first trophy after all these decades.

Whether we like it or not, we're seeing Manchester United in the Europa League final this season. They've proven beyond all measures to become the best participating team this season with unbeaten records, who else can actually meet this record? Ruben Amorim should not be underestimated after all because he's HIM in football.

Yes but in the Europa League they don't need a streak in the sense that they need it in the Premier League. It's two games at a time and this mode gives teams like Tottenham the chance to beat opponents that are in better shape. In the Premier League they need winning streaks or otherwise they are out as you can see now. In the Europa League it starts from zero every two games and they can still make up for one bad game by playing one good game as it was the case last round. Winning one and losing one can be enough. They lost 0-1 against Alkmaar and then beat them 3-1 and they'e made it.

Frankfurt is one level harder than Alkmaar I think, but when Tottenham plays at home they have got a real opportunity to create a great advantage for themselves, which I think they will need because Frankfurt at home is strong.

Both English representatives in the European league are in poor condition in their respective leagues but the case is different with Manchester United who may not be defeated so far. I remember how Liverpool was so strong in the Champions League and ranked first in the standings but they failed to reach the next round. This is a consideration for Manchester United because even though they are unbeaten, it is not certain that they can win the Europa League.

Lyon and Frankfurt cannot be underestimated because both teams also have the potential to go further. But for Tottenham itself I doubt it because there are many things that make them no longer the favorites at this time.

[banana33]

The only reason I will be having expectations for Tottenham to win over Frankfurt is because the English Premier League teams have a special way of play that makes it difficult for team from abroad to compete against them. Tottenham might not be doing so well in the EPL and be winning games in European competitions it has been happening on quite enough occasions so it is possible that Spurs can get a win in this fixture.

I'd always call PL team as a trap in europa league. I know how competitive PL, but it's totally different when we're talking about UEL. As you can see the picture i provided above how EPL clubs rarely won this competition.

I see some excellent teams but I also see an excellent Atalanta that this year can return to making the difference, let's remember, everyone took the elimination of this team for granted but in my opinion it can return to doing well and why not, even win it

Yes, their chances of improving their position to finish in the European Zone are very small because the competition in the EPL this season is much more competitive than the previous season. There is no other way for Man United and Tottenham than winning the Europa League trophy if they want to appear in European competitions next season.

Man United must be wary of Lyon's surprise because the Ligue 1 team has played very well this season, they have always played aggressively and have been able to put pressure on every opponent they face. Frankfurt cannot be underestimated, this game is clearly very tough for Tottenham because the opponent they face this time is very experienced in this competition, besides, their performance is still very stable.

[Lannakosa]

Manchester United and Tottenham are teams that have good quality overall and what happens in the domestic league will be different from what happens in the Europa League so it cannot be used as a reference and even in the last few seasons we often see teams that win the Europa League do not have a good ranking in the final standings of the domestic league maybe that will also happen to Manchester United or Tottenham.

For the opponents that will be faced in the quarter-finals I think all teams have equal quality and also in terms of percentage all teams have the same possibility to be able to win the match and advance to the semifinals.

Lyon and especially Frankfurt are tough opponents, and if Manchester United can still compete with Lyon, then I am for Tottenham, I doubt that they will be able to beat Frankfurt. The German team has a very good attack, and Tottenham is doing badly with defense, and the first match for Frankfurt will be away, which is considered better for playoff games. And if everything is clear with Postecoglou, they are already looking for a replacement for him, then for Amorim the Europa League remains important, and can determine his fate.

Looking at the teams playing in the quarterfinals, I think only FK Bodø/Glimt and Rangers are underdogs. I was even surprised that FK Bodø/Glimt made it to the quarterfinals. For the rest of the teams I think they are on the same level. I don't think Manchester United and Tottenham will be the dominant teams in the quarterfinals even though they might be the top favorites. Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt could surprise. On the other hand Lazio and Bilbao are not teams to be underestimated. I can't even predict which team has the biggest chance to become the UEL champion. Because as you said sometimes we can't see their league position to determine their level in the UEL.

This is why it is so important to rely on data when making predictions. This does not mean that there won't be variations, but we should not disregard history. I didn't know English teams are this awful in the Europa league such that Chelsea is the only English team to win it in the recent time.

I have been strongly tipping Manchester United to win this, but with this data available to be now, I am being very skeptical at the moment.

What you said is a fact that the Europa League is no less tight than the Champions League. That's why I put the Europa League below the UCL in terms of competition. And it also applies to the Premier League teams that always have bad luck, there is no guarantee even though they come from the Premier League they can dominate the Europa League. I also don't like to make them favorite teams considering that the representative teams of other leagues actually look more promising and are indeed focused on maximizing their strength in the Europa League.

And this is precisely why I have hopes for them to do better at Europa league than they do in their own league. Of course winning the whole thing would be very tough, and nobody expects them to do that, but if United or Spurs somehow magically end up beating their opponents and one of them ends up winning? That would recover their season completely. Nobody will remember the season where they finished 13th or something, they will remember the season they won Europa league.

Sevilla won this cup so many times now, do you remember each time when they won and what rank they were in la liga? I do not remember at all. This is why all of the bad from this season would be wiped clean if they could only managed to win this cup.

I'm looking forward to the match between United and Lyon and as a United fan, I hope they will win but I don’t have the psychology to be so arrogant, the club has the mentality of a wet dishcloth. United should just be ready to fight for every game as it comes
As for the match between Tottenham and Frankfurt, IMO it is 50/50, especially after Frankfurt's last match. The penalty shootout will decide the final result.

It is not only about the competition at Premier league being better, but these two teams being a lot worse than they used to be, and that has caused these two teams resulting in bad rankings as well. United and Spurs do not look good enough for Europa neither, while their opponents may look strong, any team looks strong against United and Spurs, which is why their problem isn't who they are facing, it is about how they are much worse.

If it was a few years ago, these teams both would have easier time beating these opponents. So, while there is still a chance that they can go to next stage, or maybe just one of them, the reality is they won't be doing great afterwards, and there is a big chance they both could lose.

[LUCKMCFLY]

But regardless of which card it was Manchester United were excellent in the game and deserved to win, this Europa league is the only saving them from this dreadful season they have already because winning it will mean they have European football next season regardless of where they finish in the table. Losing it means they will be without European football for close to two years and this can even discourage potential players from coming to the club

There is no doubt about it, the U have to get out of the hole where they are, we wait to see how the EUROPA LEAGUE games continue, this protects , I personally think that it is becoming very exciting, the MU has reached the high stages of the Europa League, but in this one they are obliged to win it, otherwise all that they have done will be worthless , they have to earn a place in the UCL, it would be great if they did , they have a very good opportunity , if they play like they did against Real Sociedad, then they can Achieve it.

The unpredictability that comes with supporting Manchester United can actually be humbling and I understand it clearly when you mentioned that you don't have the psychology to be arrogant about the team as they may disappoint later. It even feels like Manchester United and the spurs appears to be suffering same fate, you cannot bank on the spurs aswell both in the Premier League and in the Europa,  it's been a season of too many uncertainties for both team but let's keep our fingers crossed as see what they have got with the europa while hoping for the best.

I don't know about Man U, because Lyon is not a very strong opponent and Man U will probably beat them and get to the next round, but Spurs, as I think, have no chance against Eintracht... Although in football there are often surprises and you can't be sure about any team, but English clubs do play very badly...

[Tamaperdana]

There is no doubt about it, the U have to get out of the hole where they are, we wait to see how the EUROPA LEAGUE games continue, this protects , I personally think that it is becoming very exciting, the MU has reached the high stages of the Europa League, but in this one they are obliged to win it, otherwise all that they have done will be worthless , they have to earn a place in the UCL, it would be great if they did , they have a very good opportunity , if they play like they did against Real Sociedad, then they can Achieve it.

Yes, actually a team as big as Manchester United deserves to play in the Champions League, because in the past Manchester United was always able to enter the Champions League every season. But because currently the quality of Manchester United's performance is not as good as before, therefore Manchester United is unable to enter the Champions League, and is only able to play in the European League. Even in my personal opinion, in the European League, Manchester United's are very difficult to win. Although it is true that Manchester United has now managed to enter the quarter-finals, but still to be able to qualify for the next round, namely the semifinals, I think it will be very difficult for Manchester United. Because as we know the team that Manchester United will face in the quarter-finals is Lyon. And Lyon is certainly a team that has very good performance. That is why Manchester United will likely have difficulty overcoming Lyon in this match.

Because even though in this match Manchester United's performance is as good as when facing Sociedad, but in my opinion that will not be enough to be able to beat Lyon. Because if we compare Lyon's performance with Sociedad, of course Lyon's performance is much greater than Sociedad. So with that, in this match Manchester United not only need a good performance to be able to win over Lyon, but I think a little miracle is needed by Manchester United in this match. In addition, you are right, if for example in this European league Manchester United loses, it will certainly have a bad effect on Manchester United. Because it is certain that next season Manchester United will not participate in any international competition. And maybe this will be a dark history for the Red Devils team.

In the match between Manchester United and Lyon, I think Manchester United will win. Because Manchester United has been performing really admirably in the Europa League this year. Lyon, on the other hand, is not of the same quality as Manchester United. Although the French team is very good, their opponents are currently the favorites in the Europa League. If Lyon wants to win, they need to score a lot of goals in France. In England, because they will probably lose.

The Europa League is an important fight for these players, watching them coming along to tag important titles is something to be proud about. With so much confidence already coming from Manchester United fan in the Europa League. Marseille Lyonnais are not some average club, they're also here for the main reason why Manchester United are here. Manchester United have the upper hands to eliminate Marseille Lyonnais from the Europa League because the last time I checked, the Red Devils are on unbeaten streaks and will do everything just to ensure they grabbed the big winnings in games.
