In order to show at least some results in the Europa League, Juventus first need to get there. Judging by the fact that the odds of PSG on the first place in the group are estimated at 1.46 tomorrow they will win against Juventus, while the chance that Maccabi will take at least a point in the game against Benfica is also quite high. With this outcome of events, Juventus will leave the euro cups completely. I do not think that they will be very upset, but the fact remains that they have a chance to take the last place in the group where they were considered favorites for second place.

Yes, that's right, the worst case scenario is Benfica letting Maccabi Haifa get points which will certainly make Juventus exit the European tournament completely. But I personally don't believe that will happen because after all, PSG and Benfica will also of course still target to win the group and with that, PSG and Benfica in my prediction will still be certain to win on their last matchday.

With a result like that, Barcelona has been confirmed for the Europa League. I think Barcelona is the only team from the Champions League that has a chance to get to the semi-finals and or the final of the Europa League this season. Because for the other teams I think they are still very messed up, even though they will play in the Europa League but it doesn't guarantee the teams from the Champions League will easily get a win. Because the teams in the Europa League have also looked better so far like for example Arsenal, Manchester United, Betis and also Freiburg and there are several other teams that I think at this moment the Europa League teams cannot be underestimated at all.

To be honest, I did not understand the comparison between Barcelona and Juventus. What is the commonality of their situations? Or did I miss something?
As for the prospects in the Europa League, it is impossible to predict because we do not know the priorities of the teams. It's one thing that Xavi says that it would be nice to win the Europa League and "we will fight for victory in all the tournaments in which we participate" and another thing is that he perfectly understands that La Liga is the main priority and the rest is just a bonus (and its receipt is very random, since many strong contenders).
