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.
I'd love to see a match between Liverpool and Leverkusen. It would be intense! Liverpool is likely to dominate, but Leverkusen's unbeaten run in all competitions adds an interesting twist. Among the other teams, it's hard to predict. There are many attacking teams, but the one with the best defense will likely come out on top.
