The UEFA Europa League, an exhilarating football competition organized by the Union of European Associations (UEFA), takes center stage as the second tier of European club football.

As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming 2023-24 season, it’s worth noting that this will be the 53rd edition since its inception. Moreover, this particular season commemorates the 15th anniversary since the tournament was rebranded from the UEFA Cup to its current name, the UEFA Europa League.
It’s worth mentioning that this will be the final season featuring the current format of 32 teams competing in the group stage. UEFA has announced plans to introduce an expanded format for the subsequent edition.

Additionally, starting from this edition, the winning team will not have the opportunity to defend their title in the following year.

AS Rome vs. Bayer Leverkusen
The UEFA Europa League Semi-Final 1st leg witnessed the match between AS Roma and Bayer Leverkusen on May 3, 2024, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. AS Roma, the underdogs, triumphantly finished the quarterfinals with a 3-1 aggregate score against Milan. It was the first time that AS Roma faced AC Milan in the Europa League, and it is incredible that they won both games against them. However, both teams were mainly in Serie A and Coppa Italia. AC Milan dominated them, but AS Roma has now shattered AC Milan’s dream of holding the Europa League title. Gianluca Mancini greatly influenced the quarterfinals with his performance, and AS Roma won their first game with his only goal. In the second leg, he scored one goal, and Paulo Dybala scored the other.
At the same time, Bayer Leverkusen from the Bundesliga table top entered the semi-finals with a total score of 3:1. The first leg gave them a hard-fought 2-0 win against West Ham at their home ground, but they were held to a 1-1 draw away from home. Despite key players on both legs, Jonas Hofmann, Victor Boniface, and Jeremie Frimpong contributed to Bayer Leverkusen’s victory. Roma’s offensive average is 1.75 goals per game, so they concede 0.67 goals per game with 50.92% possession and 83.59% passing accuracy. Bayer Leverkusen won 80% of their matches, scored an average of 2.7 goals, and conceded an average of 0.80. As for their unbeaten record, Bayer Leverkusen has the upper hand and will likely win this match in the first round.
Marseille vs. Atalanta
Chasing a Ligue 1 tie against Toulouse, Marseille returns home to host Atalanta on May 3, 2024, at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille for their upcoming Europa League semi-final. Atalanta’s performance in the quarterfinals, first leg, was incredible; they beat Liverpool by a dominant 3-0 scoreline, especially on their home turf. But they suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Liverpool in the second leg. Gianluca Scamacca scored two goals in the first round, and Mario Pasalic is a critical player in helping Atalanta reach the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Benfica took a 2-1 lead in Marseille’s first leg. Marseille fought hard to equalize on aggregate in the second leg at the Stade Vélodrome. Substitute Faris Moumbagna came to the rescue, heading home Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s cross 10 minutes later.
The match went into extra time, with both teams exhausted after a pulsating 90 minutes. In the penalty shootout, Angel Di Maria missed the opening kick for Benfica, and they never recovered. Marseille emerged victorious, beating Benfica 4-2 on penalties after the sides were deadlocked at 2-2. This upcoming match will be their first UEFA club competition meeting between Marseille and Atalanta, making this battle more exciting and intense. Marseille, a team with a rich history, hopes to reach the UEFA Europa League final for the fourth time. For Atalanta, this success marks their first European semi-final appearance since 1988. Marseille has the home advantage here, but Atalanta’s solid defense can surprise Marseille and secure victory.
