There are two big candidates for this cup; Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool. Both teams are better quality than other teams. And their current performance is very good. Both teams have very qualified coaches. Also, Xabi Alonso could become Liverpool's coach next season. I aasume that ıt will be very enjoyable to watch the final match of these two teams.
Yes, I agree, of the teams that have qualified for the round of 16, I think Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen deserve to be potential Europa League finalists, but that doesn't mean other teams can't get there. However, looking at the two teams whose performance is consistent in the League and Europa League, what's more, there are two coaches whose expertise in putting together teams certainly makes the Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen teams worthy of meeting in the Europa League final.
Although initially Liverpool hoped to meet AC Milan to be able to repeat the 2004 and 2007 Champions League Finals, seeing Milan's inconsistent performance made me a little doubtful that Milan could qualify for the final.
