Michael 1,116 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Some strong teams from the Champions League are entering the Europa League here. Ajax, Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, RB Salzburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Seville and Juventus are all at the very least, experienced and tough sides to face. There should be some very entertaining matches up ahead in this competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seville have had an excellent track record in this competition over the last 10 years. I am sure Barcelona will find it tough in this competition. There are some very good teams competing and I personally don't think Barcelona will win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Barca get knocked out of this early a few years back when we got to the final? It was either last season or the season before. Looking at that list of teams they may appear strong but they are pretty average really. Sporting Lisbon impressed me but the rest are going through bad periods, even Sevilla are struggling at the foot of La Liga. I know a lot of United fans wanted to avoid this play off, rightfully so as well but one thing I will say is all those sides will be looking at us wanting to avoid us. Our form is better, I don't fear any of them, I'd rather avoid Barca but on the other hand it would be nice to get one over on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca got knocked out early last season, but it were Frankfurt and Rangers that went on to the final round. They played the CL round of 16 though, when Man Utd contested the Europa League final. So your answer is a firm yes and no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was recently but wasn't sure if it was last season or the season before. This play off is a bit strange really, Sociedad's reward for winning the group is avoiding the play off against the champions league drop outs . Yet their next game as a rewarded seed is against one of the winners of the play offs. Which is likely a champions league drop out anyway!!!!

Michael 1,116 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Man Utd actually have a very decent chance of winning the Europa Leagua again this season. Their team looks like the strongest they've had in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
