Yeah! Very happy with that, should be a great game.
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Two of the three biggest clubs in the world, who've spent more than anyone else in the summer, meeting in the play-offs of the Europa. Have to laugh really 
If this wasn't real life I'd say its scripted FIFA bullshit
Noice. Don't feck this up. Otherwise we might just let liverpool beat us for once 
he swirled it quite fast too. You’d have to be a magician to keep up with what ball it was
They'll beat us in double digits, wont they?
Completely agree - football is about seeing the biggest games. Will be a good test of where we are at. This was certainly a rigged draw though.
Haha Just Barcelona then arsenal, easy
Good stuff. The Liverpool of La Liga, will enjoy smashing them.
Players will be buzzing. Great tie. Genuinely don’t get the moaning. This is what football is about.
The draw the EL really wanted
Maybe he could just feel the heat coming off it
It's an unbelievable tie for the Europa League - it was a CL semi and 2 finals 11-14 years ago.
Can't believe we're playing this tie...Omonoia 1-0 still baffles me. And I'm pretty sure we will make them look like Guardiola's or Enrique's prime teams.

Buzzing with that. These are the games you want in Europe for me, can't wait.
If we don't have champions League we make our own Champions League !!!
Than we / refs will find a way to knock us out!!!

If you don't think they wanted this as the final, you have lost your mind.
A EL game that's actually interesting, count me in.
In no way was that rigged.
I knew with our luck it would be Barca or Juve. I have faith we could win this and that ten Hag will firmly out manage Xavi. Tough on paper but actually an evenly matched tie.
Hah! A very predictable draw. Can't even fault UEFA for it, if you get the chance to have United-Barca on tv, you take it. The viewership is too good. I'll be confident of progress if we have our full first team available.
This is the real super league.
Inevitable we would get them. One (or 2?)more goal versus Omonia and we could have avoided it..
Exactly. Some of the conspiracy theories on there make us look like RAWK.
One more in any of our 6 games
We home or away first?
The way I look at it is that both teams got what they deserved. For us, we should have won that group easily but we didn’t. We deserved to have a play off game against the most difficult opponent.
For them, finishing third in a CL group is so below their standard, they also deserved an extra game in a worse tournament against arguably the worst opponent they could get too.
I honestly don’t care if it’s rigged or not - looking forward to a big European game at OT.

Away. Martinez suspended
I’m sure they would have preferred that but they’ll be happy with this draw regardless.
So we get to bring them back to Old Trafford to win it. Always prefer it that way.
As if we'd get to a final
It is not that hard. Rangers reached it last year (despite drawing some big guns in their way). Olé reached a final and a semi-final (partly thanks to some lucky draws).
Who did Sociedad get?
Have they been drawn yet? This is the teams who get the 3rd place CL teams
Super happy with the draw. Let's face the best and see where we are at.
Of course we have Barça.
I don't believe it's rigged but this argument isn't convincing as smaller sides regularly knock-out the bigger sides. They could have rigged the draw to provide entertaining clashes with interesting narratives and avoid the bore of the same teams always meeting in the final stages. I don't think neutrals only like to watch finals between the biggest sides.
Also, there is no guarantee of either of both teams getting to the finals so having such a high-profile tie now is a huge advert for the Europa. Again, I don't believe it, but I can see why some think it is.
Why are so many people here freaking out about Barca? Just have a look at their European record under Xavi and calm down...
They proceeded against Galatasaray last season in the EL and against Pilsen this season. That's not United's level, so United should have a pretty good chance
Agree with this. Every round should have at least one blockbuster match to keep people interested.
