in the Europa League only against Feyenord, it must be difficult to qualify through a penalty shootout. aka escaping the luck factor when compared to leverkusen and liverpool, the level is still very far away. to win the Europa League is very difficult or you can say impossible, the luck factor might be able to bring As Roma champions.

It is still too early to talk about the luck factor in the Europa League this season because there are still many strong teams in the Europa League this season who may still be able to beat weak teams to become champions in the Europa League. For example, like the two teams you mentioned, Leverkusen and Liverpool will definitely dominate the European League this season to win the title with the abilities they each have at the moment.

Technically better teams with a passion for achievement make lucky wins less likely. Smaller teams are struggling not because they lack skill, but because the experience and resource gap is too large. The large teams will take every opportunity to dominate, and I don't see them losing to any team, strong or weak

Luck, like a penalty shootout or a fortuitous shot, could decide the game in the final stages, but talent and strategy are still crucial. I think getting to the finals took hard work and tactical skill, not luck. Although football is unpredictable, assuming that a team may rely on luck to navigate a league as difficult as the Europa League underestimates the effort teams put into preparation and execution.

Clubs like Liverpool and Leverkusen have technically had outstanding performances this season thanks to their skills in improving teamwork, and they don't just rely on lucky chances however as you said that effort and strategy are very important in every match they play, without effort it was impossible for them to win if they only relied on luck. There is nothing wrong with the luck factor, it's just not right if luck can bring a small club to the title if it is not accompanied by determination and hard work.
Big clubs such as Liverpool, Leverkusen and Milan will try hard to take advantage of their opportunities in the European league and compete fiercely in the race for the title, regardless of their opponents in the next round. The most important thing is that they have to stay focused and try not to be beaten by weak clubs.

Luck like that doesn't last, every match brings a different performance because each club definitely has a different performance in maintaining its defense, and it's true that to reach the final it takes hard work, not just luck and an effective strategy in knocking out their opponents, relying on fighting. a penalty is an insult to the club itself because they win not because of skill but because of luck, and even if in the end a club like that wins it is not considered a strong club because like when Roma were able to get rid of Feyenoord in the play off round even though they were successful qualified but they were still underestimated because they qualified because of unexpected luck unlike last season where they worked hard to reach the final.
