Both teams have been favorites of many members here to reach the final round, for Liverpool obviously 100% I agree with you, because their journey to become title contenders so far we can not doubt anymore, Klopp's ability to set strategies and also a qualified squad is certainly the basis of how Liverpool can be strong enough in every competition that the their has participated in so far, The experience and mentality possessed by Liverpool is one of the main factors for Liverpool to become one of the teams that will easily reach the final.

As for Leverkusen, obviously I don't agree with you, because I think their performance in the league cannot be a reference for us to favorite them to reach the final, I admit that they are strong candidates at the moment, but so far I see no strong team that Leverkusen is facing to reach the Europa League final, And of course it makes it easier for them like now, Leverkusen is very difficult when facing Qarabag who is a weak team and that makes me pessimistic if Leverkusen can beat Milan in the semi-finals if they both meet later, I personally am quite sure if Liverpool and Milan will reach the final round of the Europa League this season with a note if they avoid in the semi-finals.

Leverkusen's difficult victory over Qarabag also cannot be used as a reference that they will continue like that because if you look at Leverkusen's overall performance this season in the Europa League, they are showing the same performance as in the domestic league, which is quite impressive and in fact they are quite consistent throughout this season so I think it is quite possible for them to be in the Europa League final this season.

And the factor of their undivided focus is that in the domestic league the Leverkusen team has almost guaranteed themselves as champions this season, making them able to focus more on the Europa League match. This is different from Liverpool, which is currently competing fiercely for the Premier League title, so this will burden them.
