I do agree that Liverpool is far better than the other three, but it feels like it is not such a big deal neither, this is europa and anything could happen, Liverpool could end up losing to Sparta too, I know very unlikely but what I am trying to point out is that they are not really getting anything just because they are a good team, they need to end up playing well enough for all of them.
I think we should consider the situation that may change, Liverpool is the best one but there is no guarantee so anything could happen. I still see Leverkusen as a big title contender as well they are doing so well so far and I think there is a possibility that they may end up with some troubles here and there if they are not really careful.
None of these teams are better than each other, it's just about comparing them to their current stats and seeing the difference. Besides why lay out comparisons when one can easily spot the vast difference in previous games played. However there are promising clubs that have enlisted on the radar to win the Europa League title and these are elite teams that are doing exceptionally brilliant in matches. Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the main clubs, no change about that. All we have to do now is to patiently wait for the big game to happen in the grand Europa League final.
Yes, current stat comparisons may appear unnecessary, especially when previous game performance is so different. Not only have Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen excelled in stats, but also in resilience and tactic. Liverpool's lead despite injuries is extraordinary. It has depth and versatility few teams have. On the other side, I'm excited for the finale. While Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are favorites, sport is unpredictable, thus the trip from the round of 16 to the final could be unpredictable. Don't you think unpredictability keeps us sitting on the edge?
