On March 18, Beijing time, Barcelona, who went to Turkey away, successfully withdrew from here and entered the quarterfinals of this season's Europa League! After the game, Barcelona boss Xavi said: "It was very difficult to win at the home stadium of Galatasaray, but we did it! Barcelona are out of the haze and the goal is to win the Europa League."
What makes Xavi feel even happier is that Sevilla lost to West Ham United and had no choice but to get out! The Europa League is also known as the "Sevilla Cup" because Sevilla has won the title in this season for three consecutive seasons! And this season's Europa League final will be played at the Piz juan stadium, the home of Sevilla!
The Europa League draw will be held at 20:30 Beijing time on March 18, in addition to Barcelona, other teams that reach the top eight include: West Ham United, Atalanta, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Lyon, Glasgow Rovers and Braga.
With the exception of Barcelona, none of the above seven teams have ever won the Champions League. And none of these eight teams have won the Europa League! Barcelona's strength is significantly one notch higher than the other seven teams. With no hope of competing for la Liga title, Barcelona are expected to win the first Europa League title in team history!
After Messi left, Barcelona once became a "weak team", the league started badly, and the Champions League group stage was also "fiercely repaired" by Bayern Munich! But Barca have a giant background and aura, take Aubameyang, after coming to Barcelona, he quickly ushered in the second spring of his career, and aubameyang has made 9 appearances and scored 7 goals. The number of goals is second only to the top scorer Depay, who scored 10 goals in 28 appearances!
Barcelona have undoubtedly become the biggest favourites to win the Europa League this season. But the team should not be careless, especially in the knockout round to win over Sevilla's Premier League powerhouse West Ham United! West Ham united are currently ranked 6th in the Premier League, just two points behind Manchester United, a team that has beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the Premier League.
