I got my lesson in this season of the Europa League.
At first, I was thinking Manchester United is going to win the title or Arsenal but both teams failed and then I had more hope of Juventus winning the title while failed too.
We know these team were all strong enough and they had more power than Liverpool have right now.
That's why I think there is even a chance to see Liverpool failing the Europa League.
The best team of the tournament does not always win these tournament. This is true especially in the Europa league and Champions league.
This year in the champions league was an exception, Man City which is the best team won. Madrid was not the best team last year, Chelsea was not the best team the year before that. I can go on and on. Only a few times that the best team and favorite to win the tournament wins it. It's not like the league that the best team in the leagues for that season wins.
We saw Villareal win the Europa league last season. They were not the best team in the league. They just understood that each opponent is different and you play each of the with different tactics.
So Liverpool can be the strongest team in the tournament (even though it s too early to judge), they might not win it. If the best or strongest team always wins it, then there will be no fun in that and gambling will be such an easy thing to do.
