At 19:00 Beijing time on February 25, the results of the 21/22 Europa League round of 16 draw were released, there were 3 strong dialogues, Barca drew a good draw, and Moyes's team drew the second favorite Sevilla.
In terms of odds for winning the title, Barca's Galatasaray is the fourth-to-last, so this is already a good draw for Barca, better than drawing on the five league teams of Lyon, West Ham United, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and Frankfurt.
Galatasaray is no longer the Turkish Super League overlord that everyone remembers this season. They are only 13th in the Turkish Super League, already 31 points behind the top team. That's why they're not optimistic in the Europa League.
From the perspective of historical encounters, Barca have been unbeaten against Galatasaray in the 4th century with a record of 3 wins and 1 draw. They have won five of their eight games against Galatasaray in their history, with a winning percentage of 62.5%, so barca should have no problem passing Galatasaray in the Europa League.
Sevilla vs West Ham United, Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen and Porto vs Lyon, these 3 strong dialogues can be said to be Champions League-level showdowns. Among them, Sevilla vs West Ham United are full of highlights.
Moyes's West Ham United reached the Round of 16 of the Europa League and have already set the best record in team history. With The Europa League round of 16 drawn to the second favourite and the Europa League six-time winner Sevilla, West Ham is likely to be unable to continue to make history. West Ham are 6th in the Premier League and distracted from fighting for four in the league; Sevilla are 2nd in La Liga, and they have to compete not only for four, but also for Real Madrid.
Two big packs?
In terms of winning odds, Red Star Belgrade and Braga are both 1 to 81, and they are the two least optimistic teams in the Europa League round of 16. The teams that received the two big bags were Rangers and Monaco.
