Honestly , Leverkusen is playing so smooth that I wouldn't be surprise to see them in the finals or even winning it because right now they seem to be one of the first candidates alongside Liverpool to win the trophy this year.
It would be great if we could see the final between Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool, right? I know it's still too early because when enter the knockout round everything can change a lot, and in that round teams can't make mistakes that could result in them being eliminated, but if the two favorite teams continue to perform well then this will be an ideal final and very interesting to watch, but I still favor Liverpool to win the European League this season, maybe the feel not the same when winning the champions league but at least it's better because ending the season without a title is very unpleasant.
Based on their current performances, a Bayer Leverkusen-Liverpool final would be fascinating. Leverkusen's chances worry me. Will they maintain their progress under Xabi throughout the competition? Leverkusen faces tight competition from Sevilla, the "kings of the Europa League". A packed Liverpool schedule worries me. In the UCL, EPL, and Carabao Cup, Klopp has his team. Does he keep them fit and focused? Despite having a higher chance of winning, Liverpool may be too spread out in the Europa League. Both teams face a dangerous journey.
