If you put yourself as a Sporting fan then I think you would say you have the hardest draw
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Just be very careful against Acuna.
Disrespect your club gets here is astonishing. Everyone talking about Juventus like its a foregone conclusion.
That's the spirit
yay. more spanish diving, cheating, ref following and timewasting.
Juventus somehow manages to grind out wins against the bottom half of Serie A... But they've been very poor in games against the top sides of Italy... They lost 3-0 to Milan and 5-1 to Napoli... Recently lost to Roma as well... It has been a constant since Allegri's come back. Horrendous win percentage in those games, and never beat a serious team in the CL (only Chelsea that once)... This year even worse, 1 win in 6 CL games. I think ETH would destroy him over 2 legs.
When do the cards reset? After this round?
Of course we got Sevilla. They aren't looking very good at all this season which is a bonus. We have a realistic chance of going all the way here, although a semi vs Juventus would be very tricky.
ah well Sevilla it is, time to exorcise those demons
Still to come. Think we have a genuine chance of the La Liga title at this point.
We are about the second club with more UEFA cup/ Europa League matches but I think Juventus will be too much for us. They have a very strong and experienced team. One can dream though.
Calm yourself, Sevilla has never won the EL in a season where they didn't finish 5th at worst.
They are not close to any of those winning teams
Sevilla have been shocking this season.
Coward Martinez calls up Ronaldo. Disappointing. We need a new cycle.
Yep.
Would have preferred an easier game on paper.
But I do think we’ll get through.

I'm not comparing teams, I'm saying as a United fan that draw is as hard as it could probably be. Out of the teams left, as a United fan, you would've liked to avoid Juve, Roma and Sevilla. We probably face all 3 if we want to win.
But they would've wanted to avoid us as well.
Where is arsenal btw?
Another frustratingly tough draw. Actually, make that frustratingly tough two draws.
ETH and the squad are doing fantastic this season, but they're seemingly having everything thrown at them to make it as difficult as possible including tough draws (yeah, I know we get home draws in FA Cup which gets highlighted, but mostly against PL opposition - which never gets pointed out).
I was really hoping for the easiest route possible to help deal with all the fixture congestion, injuries, etc - instead it's going to probably be Sevilla - Juventus - Roma. As hard as we could have got.
It's still doable of course, but it's certainly doing it the hard way which, in turn, has potential impacts on our PL and FA Cup matches.

Rashy scored a belter free kick mate.
I get you and I agree
I’ve never believed in luck of the draw. If we arent good enough to beat these teams over 2 legs then we arent good enough to win the competition.
however, whats happened to the Europa League? A few years ago it seemed you played timbuktu, lidl and mansfield under 10’s on the way to some B list teams in the finals whereas now its got the likes of us, Arsenal, Barcelona, Juventus going into the knockout rounds?

Wait, is Telles playing for Sevilla? Can he play in this tie?
Yes. Remember Dalot playing against us with Milan?
It would depend on what they agreed on initially for the loan
Maybe the winner gets cl place. So that is an extra incentive.
Hopefully
Tough tough draw. I think they will be pretty hard to beat, but to be honest, we have to beat these guys to exorcize the semi final we lost 3 years ago + the final we lost against Villareal.
Also facing Juve in semi final would be absolutely hard, knowing their number 10 will play his only game of the season and will be unplayable...

Sevilla without the away goal rule is far less of an issue
It's true and plot armor got them here(they were second best in both previous ties) but they might genuinely be too weak for it to matter this time
Prefer having 2 games against tham as opposed to having only 1. We should be able to overcome them.
The opposite of the 2017 draw, as hard as you could get. Champions League-esque draw.
If he ever gets fit by then. He re-injured himself
Europa league is their patch though. You watch those play acting bastards turn into 80’s Milan.
We can obviously beat Sevilla easily, but it’s a hassle having to deal with yet more Spanish cheating and another bent ref - the two things do seem to go hand in hand 
Sevilla 
4 ties v Spanish opposition this season. Plus Juve or Sporting in the semis if we go through. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.I think we'd beat Roma easily, but they'd probably built a fecking shrine of him if he would manage another European trophy for Roma in the space of a couple of seasons. Nah, no chance, we'd beat them.
in 2017 I guess, with Mou, the year we won it.
Maybe we can finally beat them
No such thing allowed in UEFA rules. He can play.
Really ? I had no idea
